Yes, there is no hope that you can conjure a reasonable argument from that.

If your argument is “Trump used ugly rhetoric about Haitians,” say that.

If your argument is “Trump has no legal right to end TPS,” prove that.

If your argument is “Trump ended TPS because of race,” prove the racial motive.

But TPS people were legal at the time does not change the fact that TPS is temporary by law.

Temporary means it can end.

Dogs and cats are not proof.

You are hardly a reasonable person because of bias wrapped in hatred.
Its tiresome how you dont realize the irrelevance of TPS being temporary. The issue is its legality because the original question was whether its only illegals he had an issue with. The Haitians were not illegals but he still had an issue with them.

Anyway, no point talking to stone.

You know why you are saying this? Because you don't know the aftermath of the promise. He made a massive unprovoked commitment to someone in crisis without a genuine effort/plan to fulfill it.
Morally wrong perhaps. Even at that, probably just careless rather than morally wrong. Truth is people fail even with good intentions. But there is zero legal wrong.

This is no point.
Every day we hand our kids over to strangers in the name of teachers at school. There have been cases of teachers doing very bad things to kids but we do not kill our kids because we fear to hand them over to strangers.

There are irresponsible biological parents, there are irresponsible foster parents and there are irresponsible adopted parents but saying that the solution is to kill the unborn, that's crazy.

I would not want my child to be with a stranger but you are telling me that the alternative is to murder my unborn, I will choose the stranger everytime over killing a human being.

Have I answered your question ❓
Not when you insist on framing the alternative as murder when it is not.

What does eating cat and dogs has to do with what we are talking?

If they have temporary protected status and Trump decides not to renew it, it still does not prove anti immigration.
It's hopeless.

I don't understand. What's going on?
I was telling you just the other day that some people rightly fear giving out their children to strangers. On the abortion discussion.
Yes, this is not the US, but it is still telling on the question as to how strangers can treat an adopted or foster child.

There have actually even been criminal cases in the US where a family deliberately signs up to foster children only for the purpose of the payments that come with it and abuse those children thoroughly.

Absolutely. This kind of case can even lead to the lawyer who brings it being penalized for frivolity and abuse of court processes.

Full, something that is temporary has an end. It's like saying Trump has issues with people who overstayed their visa. No, the visa has expired, it's the country's law that has issues with it.

Their temporary status has ended or trump is ending it because it is temporary. This is so hard to get?
God have mercy. Had their TPS ended when Trump was lying about them eating cats and dogs and whipping up crowds against them?
Nairaland General › Re: Welcome To The Nerd - Philosophy, Existentialism by DeepSight(op): 4:39pm On May 03
NerdCat:
Thanks for giving me audience.
The pleasure is all mine - the high quality in your thought processes was noticeable right away and for me such a thing is almost like a narcotic to a drug-addict.

No. I find all evidence presented in support of the concept to be insufficient and the logical architecture of classical theism - in particular - to be structurally compromised.
Classical theism aside, do you countenance the purely philosophical concept of the existence of a necessary thing, a necessary first cause of this material and finite world / plane / dimension / reality.

I refer to necessary things in philosophy as opposed to contingent things -

https://philosophy.lander.edu/intro/necessity.shtml

And if God were defined strictly as -

That self existent root of all other existence. Would you say that such exists.

I think, therefore I am. 🙃
Cogito ergo sum. Descartes.

But this saying is used as logical deduction that we exist - and not of an explanation of what we are. But one concedes that it may also demonstrate that we are thinking beings.

Tho I suspect you're looking for a more rigorous answer, so I'll say that I'm an arrangement of matter that just happens to be conscious, and self-aware. I'm not entirely sure how I gained this awareness, though I can try to speculate. I'm equally not sure how much more time I have left on this planet.
Do you think that a machine could achieve self consciousness? I ask this question because personally I doubt it strongly and it is related to the issue of whether any configuration of matter alone could achieve the same.

In thinking of these questions please let me know if you think a machine can ever feel pain.

Meaning for me isn't discovered, but constructed. I don't believe in an objective meaning of life, as per the religious rhetorics for instance. Personally, I build my own meaning of life from my curiosity of life itself, the people around me, the universe in general etc. If I hard to pick my current purpose/meaning - it's to acquire sufficient material resources in terms of food, money, and more, to satisfy myself and my loved ones for as long as I can breathe.
Fair enough - at the subjective level. Am I to take it that you are firm in your mind that there is no purpose of this world inherent in any external factor beyond us?

No, and I think the desire for it is psychologically understandable but also quite dangerous in epistemic terms, as it too easily becomes the engine driving belief rather than the conclusion following from evidence. What I find more interesting is the question of whether "I" persist continuously even now, between sleep cycles. That one keeps me up at night, fittingly enough.
Eureka! I have found it!
I have finally found someone who wonders about one of the strange things I wonder about. Because I have strange thoughts, wondering for example if I have not already passed on and happen to still be having a human experience in another dimension cut off from the last point when I was awake or conscious. This leads to / springs from / is related to several other considerations some of which question whether this reality or experience is real or simulated. So let me ask if you think experience is real, or a sort of imposed virtual reality.

What do you think of that possibility and of Simulation Theory? Maybe you can also chip in here -

Who said its illegal?
Are you challenged? Like seriously? Do you have to be painstakingly walked through every discussion?
The issue at hand is whether Trump is against even legal migrants on grounds of race.

I showed you one group he has displayed that same hostility to - even when they are not illegal.
Simple.

The conservatives dislikes immigration as a whole. Forget the sell outs here saying the Conservative Party is all for legal immigration. Lies and rubbish.

The green card process is now being attacked. Immigrant VISA interview dates for those who are being processed via the right channel is now slow paced and highly frustrating or stalled.


How about immigrants who have done everything right and ready to obtain citizenship? The Trump administration and its conservative goons have ensured some immigrants who are already approved for U.S. citizenship are delayed and even last-minute cancellations of their oath ceremonies.

Suddenly the “we are going after the worst of the worst criminals” has turned into a crackdown on immigration all together.
Everyone knows this. Bemeruca and raumdeuter inclusive, dont let them deceive you.
Some people were even arrested or turned away at the point of coming for their oath taking ceremonies.

He does not have anything against them. What is their status?
Why then did he slur them as eating cats and dogs. And campaigned for them to be removed. Even after it was shown to be false he still went to a rally and whipped up the crowd to chant throw them out.

You are deceiving yourself.

The claim that conservatives are only against illegals is a huge scam.

At its root, people like Trump are against colored people, period. They dont care about white illegal immigrants a jot, and there are many of those, but they barely even check.

The issue is immigration of coloured people. Its racism, period.

If I wasnt getting used to you folk, I would have been shocked that anyone would say Trump had nothing against the Haitian legal immigrants in Ohio. But now I understand you.

Barefaced lying is normal.

This is brain dead in so many ways

1. Conservatives are anti-immigration. The particular black xenophobic south Africans are anti-immigration.
2. The same xenophobes do not like their fellow blacks. You don't see them fighting white immigrants. Just like how uncle Tom Conservatives don't care about racism from whites and white privilege but will fight DEI and blast black Americans. They dont care about Trump's white DEI hires eg (Hesgeth and Kristi Noem)
Perfectly said.
Oh he knows the bold. He is just fooling around. Dont be deceived.

Agnostic feels the closest, yes. I don't dismiss the spiritual outrightly. The existence of consciousness alone gives me sufficient pause for that. But what I resist - often strongly - is the leap from "materialism is incomplete" to any specific theological architecture like perhaps Christianity or Islam.
Completely resonates with me.

I am curious. Even tempted to create a thread to "interview" you here. I have a history as a resident Larry King on this board. Let's do it.

Welcome, Nerdcat

Your very well weighed responses to a few theological / philosophical matters interest me. Can you summarize your worldview for our benefit. Lets start with -

- Do you believe in the existence of God
- What do you think you are
- What is the meaning / purpose of life to you
- Do you believe in life after death

Many thanks.

Which side protest, destroy properties, want to claim what others worked for. They are victims. Nothing is ever their fault.

This post reminds me of Ishola Oyenusi. Girlfriend told him her birthday was near. Most men who have no money would have shrugged and explained that they're broke, or go out to hustle for something - or, if they're really foolish, go and borrow. But not Ishola. Dude brought out his gun from where he kept it, went to Herbert Macaulay Way in Yaba, stopped the first brand new car he saw, killed the owner, fenced the car, and viola - birthday party money was ready.

You are trying to say that this doesn't fall under detrimental reliance? A promise isn't a legal binding but he interfered with my legal right if not that I later went to the police.

What about the death threat?
Brother / Sister. You are a strange person. I sympathize with your hardships but for the life of me I cant imagine why you would report a person for failure to fulfill a promise to assist you. Please try and remove that person from your mind, take your life in your own hands and be logical, thoughtful, determined and focused. Whatever work you do or can do, focus on that and triple your hustle. Do not rely on favors and do not waste energy on chasing down favors that do not come or pursuing misguided vengeance.

I have a mind to offer you some help but second thoughts make me wonder if I might become a victim of your reporting skills in future as well. Aside from this, you do not come across as put together. You seem very unsettled, disjointed in thought and even somewhat unstable and this makes one wary of interacting too closely with you. I dont say these to denigrate or discourage: believe me I say it to urge you to put your self together and pursue things in a way that will not scare people away from you. There is an energy we each exude that can attract or repel.
