Politics General

Golbolcoover 7 years ago

Since some users dislike the political discussions on the Sandbox lobby wall, I’ve decided to make a serious thread where people can discuss political issues/tangentially-related discourse.

Please keep name-calling to a minimum and remember that site rules still apply. While this “debate” is not technically “moderated,” I reserve the right to mute anyone who decides to make this thread all about Jamal or Neanderthals or whatever.

Please just try to use this space to contain conversations that are otherwise derailing in other places.

don't think a bunch of people are just gonna up and move to a different country & change their lifestyle cuz it tickled their fancy. not to mention oversea flights are expensive enough as is. if someone immigrates somewhere its usually for good reason
& there are legal processes for immigration. Immigration is not the same thing as "open borders."
i want to move to a different country to live with my boyfriend. the best i can get is a fiancee visa, and i dont meet the age requirement (21). i applied to school in that country just to get a visa and live with him there. immigration is really tough

why should people not be allowed to move wherever they want though. earths is the same
Have you not been watching the news the past 5 years? The west has had enough problems w/ infrastructure for people who came as actual migrants fleeing from war and whatnot. If people could just move wherever "because they feel like it," that would be a disaster.

why do you think refugees exist? because the west is destroying the east

also, water exists in nature. water is already f*cking drinkable. majority of africa lives 15 minutes away from clean water but still billions of people lack water. some people cant afford to buy water. they should not be forced to die for being poor. also are you against water fountains?
Immigration is a process for a reason. Germany is no obligated to let me move there just because I want to. People cannot just move wherever they want.

Accepting refugees is one thing. "Open borders," is a disaster.

hurr durr i win because someone didnt wanna argue with me hurrr

should water be free or not? existence on this earth should be a human right, and being able to live comfortably and survive should also be a human right
If you give up arguing, i win by default. I don't make the rules I just follow them.

Water shouldn't be free. People put in a lot of labor to make it drinkable for others. Why should that be free?
