Just Plain Ruff Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Actually, this was not posted to be a joke, that's the way that the discussion went. Blame AK I was really wanting people to post yes or no if the supported amnesty. I did not want a political discussion, I wanted actual good discussion but apparantly that did not happen here . I'm disappointed in that aspect. AK can you lock this post, OR can we have a valid discussion of the question asked?
akflightmedic Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Hey I made a joke but I did answer the question. Not my fault if others chose not to...
JPINFV Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I was really wanting people to post yes or no if the supported amnesty. I did not want a political discussion, I wanted actual good discussion but apparantly that did not happen here . ... AK can you lock this post, OR can we have a valid discussion of the question asked? I'm sorry, maybe I'm a little confused here. On one hand, you want people to post on whether or not they support a rather politically charged policy proposal (for the record, I was the 3rd person to vote in the poll), but on the other hand you do no want any "political discussion." I don't see how you can have one without the other and it's not fair to not allow someone to justify their position in a post. What sort of non-political/policy discussion are you expecting?
JakeEMTP Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Sorry the thread went that way Ruff. I voted no. As one who went through the process of coming here legally, and now beginning the process of citizenship at considerable cost and aggravation I might add, I cannot and will not support amnesty for illegal immigrants. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If one wants to return to their native homeland and apply through the proper channels, I have no problem with it.
Just Plain Ruff Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Jeez JP I'm sorry you take issue with what I asked. I thought I was clear but you apparantly don't think I was. I was trying to avoid the nasty political discussion that this issue seems to bring out in all of us. I was not squashing nor prohibiting those who wanted to voice their reasons behind their votes, I was merely trying to stave off the negative and nasty posts that I thought might come out of this thread. We all know how much this issue polarizes our society. What I was not wanting was people getting very upset over this issue. I have said in other posts on this that discussion is good. What I did not want was this thread to go where it did which was down the road of diversion. sorry if I wasn't clear enough. AK Lock this thread please.
