I don't think Boru ever said New Zealand couldn't be more generous with the resources they use to help the migrants who land on New Zealand's shores. In fact, he said they're actually updating their quotas. And I don't think he ever said there's a cap to how many he thinks New Zealand can help.

I know Boru never said that. I was pointing out to Boru that OLB was asking if New Zealand could be more generous with its resources.

They do take immigrants.


The difference?


Refugees have for the most part less job skills.

Nice show of empathy. So the real litmus test is that what big corporations can get out of labor, and not the value of humans regardless of class?

Why is it then you don't deport this white guy, me, who never made more than minimum wage despite the fact I was born here?

FYI there is no such thing as a job that lacks skill. Easy to learn does not translate to easy to do in high volume. Every job takes skill, bar none.

If you eat produce do know that those workers run themselves into the ground, often under extreme heat. So if you are unwilling to do that, STFU, and be happy that there are people who provide you with that produce.

If you think faithful Democrats all love Biden, you think wrong. You can start there.

How is my logic twisted?


All I did is point out facts.

President Biden' s guys say "We don' t do the things those evil " other guys" do -

Then I show that they use the very laws the previous administration passed to do exactly that ( deport).

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

YMMV

This: 

"Now the fun part --

The excuses of how "this is DIFFERENT"..."

is not a fact. It is nothing less than douchebaggery.

I admit this was more directed at Biker; I just thought your post would be the most logical step to elaborate on it. Post has been edited to reply to Biker's post instead.

You don't know the difference between accept and except. I am not taking language lessons from you, of all people.

You were lying.

  Non sequitur, My improper use of two words in no way makes me wrong about the difference between lying and hyperbole. One is deception the other is exaggeration really simple.

Quote:You were lying.

Nope, I was being hyperbolic and you can't prove otherwise. So no gotcha points for you Lemming

And this rule is written where?

I think there are actual laws and treaties regarding how refugees are to be treated.

True but I consider it more a moral issue than one of law

I hate pedantic crap like this, and I am NOT talking about the subject matter, just your nit picking about human flaws.

I also have a problem with "accept" and "except". I also transpose "their" and "there". 

It is one thing to correct someone's spelling. It is quite another to assume because someone has a natural malady that they are POS. 

In college I had a couple of professors who came across as "organized" in class, but when I went to their offices to ask for help or advice, their offices looked like an episode of "Hoarders". 

I forgot which scientist said it, but what they said conveyed the message of, " If your desk is pristine, you are not doing your job."

If any atheist here is seeking perfection, then they to me, are no better than any theist seeking the same.
