  1. This was interesting: "For the sake of the American people,” Akesson and Karlsson wrote, “with whom we share so many strong historical and cultural ties, we can only hope that the leaders in Washington won’t make the same mistakes that our socialist and liberal politicians did.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/23/sweden-democrats-trump-was-right.html
  2. What a shame. I had no idea that he was ill. I can't say that I agreed with him a lot, but he always came across as kind and genuine. Rest in peace.
  3. But are they the correct majority of non-white males?
  4. Sweeds? Hard to believe that this crap is taking place in the heart of what used to be Viking territory. It's getting about time for the Swedes to start channeling their ancestors and show'em what real raping and pillaging is like.
  5. Maybe a technical school grad doesn't have his/her occupation listed in the poll, seeing how there's little to no tech even implied in the list you provide.
  6. So now I have to find a Chamberlain emoji too? This is the best I could do:
  7. No telecom? Good grief, you'd think that would be listed since we all have to use the freakin' internet to answer.
  8. You know who else didn't answer polls?
  9. Agreed on implementation & issue, but as I'm known to say, it's the principle of the thing. And you're absolutely right about visas, what they grant, and their restrictions. I spent the better part of three years and an awful lot of money on an immigration/visa case - most people don't realize the extent of the conditions and restrictions involved, which makes the issue perfect fodder for riling people up.
  10. I realize they said that, but anyone who has a shred of objectivity knows a moratorium when they see one. The 9th circuit may as well put on their pink kitty hats and join the hysterical crown in the streets for all the good they're doing.
  11. There neither is nor was there ever a "Muslim ban". It's fair to be critical, but at least get your criticisms right.
  12. Approve, for 100% of what you so eloquently stated, especially the purple Twinkies. The entertainment factor is off the charts.
  13. What little I was able to see around all the pop-ups is just more of the same. I get it - we're not going to agree on this. I continue to believe that the new jobs created by automation will be at least comparable in number to those lost, but they will likely be higher paying, specialized jobs.
  14. Because they're all about diversity. It's difficult to avoid innuendo when talking about Milo.
  15. Best way is to go to the source. If it's happening in Sweden, read what the Swedes are saying: http://www.thelocal.se/ http://www.nordstjernan.com/ http://www.swedishwire.com/ All in English. Google search - took all of 20 seconds to find just those three.
  16. Particularly since Milo isn't a republican.
  17. Given the current state of affairs, I'm not shocked at all. The thing I don't get is that Trump sets himself up as an easy target, yet his detractors bypass the obvious criticisms and just go absolutely bat%$#@ crazy. Milo has stood up for Trump since the beginning, so he's made himself a target now too. What's made it worse for him is that he's an openly gay immigrant, both of which are qualities the left considers to be exclusively within their domain. They can't afford to have someone like Milo preaching against them, so they're loading up every trebuchet they can find with a mountain of crap and pelting him with everything they've got.
  18. Take Bill Burr's advice - buy a .22 some NSFW: http://youtu.be/2_VQ32uGGKI
  19. Well, maybe those people will serve as an example to younger generations.
  20. I had to guess. I'm paid in baby Harp seal pelts, which is a wildly volatile commodity and a real challenge to calculate, even if you can find a trustworthy calculator/conversion program.
  21. I really don't know much about AI, so I'll let those more familiar address that. Some call center work will continue to automate, but a lot of companies have actually begun to scale back and bring more human beings back on board, mainly to solidify their customer point of contact. If trucking begins to go driverless, then there will be a need for more maintenance and programmers. Unskilled people will always have service work of one fashion or another at their disposal, The problem isn't that we're automating our way into high unemployment, it's that too many people stubbornly fail to realize that they need to develop a marketable skill. It's one thing for an old fart like me to become professionally obsolete because the tech advanced beyond my capability and training, and it's another for people to bemoan the fact that unskilled labor is going away while doing nothing to stay ahead of the curve.
  22. What industries are going to automate that haven't begun to do so already, and why do you say it will happen in a couple of decades and all at once?
