Hmong in Thailand and Laos realized that they can earn money with Youtube videos.  The more subscribers watching their channels, the more money.

In the end, just as in our working environments, it's not what you know (how smart you are), it's who you blow that gets you elected.  There are lots pf powerful lobby groups that will influence your elected candidate to vote a legislation a certain way.  You and I, our main job as a citizen is only to vote.  But once these people get elected, their party and associated lobby groups take over your elected official's legislation ideas, etc.

The more I learned about American politics, the more I despised it.  Catering only to the rich.  You and I vote, but in reality our votes don't count.  The Electoral college selects the winner every single time.  To win the highest office, you have to pander to various lobby groups for their support.  Trump proves you don't need skills to be a President.

Candidate Yang looks like a really smart, level headed guy.   He's got some pretty good ideas for the country.  I think I just found my candidate to vote for...

Only in America, will you see this sort of issues.  The rest of the world has other better issues to deal with and here in America, the issue of using the bathroom is a hot topic.  Stupid really...if I'm a guy and the guy stalls are occupied and the woman's stalls are available, guess which stall I'm going in.  Shit doesn't care where its being dumped into...

Marriage & Family Life / Re: Hmong ladies who marry white guys...

Noticed a lot of "successful" Asian woman married white men only.  Example, most of the Asian women cast on "Crazy Rich Asians" either are married or dating whites only.  Wealth, power and status seems to be the motivator with some woman.

Asian woman with black dudes on the other hand are not about wealth, power or status.  It's the opposite.  Mostly about masculinity and the "package", if you know what I mean.

One BIG reason the U.S. is getting involved is because Venezuele has lots of OIL...it has become a common reason why most Western powers want to go and do regime change.  The reward is very high. 

"The proven oil reserves in Venezuela are recognized as the largest in the world, totaling 297 billion barrels" - Wikipedia

Gentlemen, gentlemen, did I not said to keep this hot topic discussion to a respectable level?

Let's keep the name calling out of this.

Let's keep Jesus and religion out of this.  This topic is NOT about Jesus or religion at all.  It is not about you being an azewhole or me being a di(c)k.  It is about a very well organized groups of people trying to come over into this country illegally.

There is a time for being compassionate and a time for order and rules of law.  As far as I'm concerned, this "migrant" caravan has nothing to do with being needy for humanitarian reasons. There are thousands of other people groups in far worst humanitarian crisis that are more qualified for seeking asylum.  It is about coming into this country under any means necessary.  You may see the little kids being dragged around and trying to get over the border and such.  I know that it is just a ruse to attract empathy, photographic effect.  It is them thumping up their middle fingers at the rules and laws of this nation.  It is an act of defiance at President Trump.  Imagine if we allow them all in, I guarantee you, more will follow...then what do you do?

Some of you are playing the empathy card but I guarantee you, if a homeless person breaks into your house...you will either call the cops or shoot them down.  I don't think you will accommodate them at all...I will spare them some change and some food but I will NOT allow them into my home where my family is...people need to use their brains sometimes...

What bothers me the most about this "migrant" caravan is the silence of the governments where they are from.  It seems there are no passports requirement, port of entry inspections for these people at all to be able to cross all the way from their home country to the U.S. border.  They made it through without any intervention from the different countries along the way.  You, as a U.S. citizen, can you make it through all those countries without anyone asking you for your photo ID or passport?  Those of you who has been on vacation to Mexico, what are the rules?  Perhaps you can try to explain to the rest of us the requirements?

So, do you see my point?  These are a very well organized groups "testing the waters" to see how far they can go.  I guarantee you, this caravan will not be the first or last to try this.  How do explain the ~14 million illegals living in the U.S.?

Let's keep this hot topic on a respectable level gentlemen. 

Here's my take:

1.  This caravan issue has been going on for years...when you have ~14 million illegals in the
     country...ther e's an issue with border security and living conditions in countries where these 
     illegals are fleeing from. 

2.  Yes, this country was built from migrants all over the world, I totally get that.  However, this
     country is "great" because it was also built on laws and orders.  Most immigrants came to this
     country through legal means, following immigration laws.  If you drive higher than the speed limit
     on the street, you will be expected to get stopped.  If you trespass onto someone else's
     property, expect to be confronted.  If you steal, expect to be caught, etc...

3.  These "migrants" are economic migrants.  They want a better life.  They expect to find jobs.  They
     expect "their children" will be able to get health care, attend good schools, grow up in a land
     "flowing with milk and honey"...everybody wants that for their families...I get that.  However, you
     got to still follow the law...don't start breaking things, causing riots because you did not get the
     results you want...even Jesus commanded his followers to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
     meaning you got to follow the laws.....

4.  I don't know about you folks out there but I fear there will be a class warfare in the near future
    between minority groups and "white supremacy" groups.  There are a lot of white folks buying
    guns left and right.  Not one, two guns but more than 10 or more.  Trump becoming President
    already lifted the faces of "racist" people out there.  Trump empowered, inspired those groups
    more than ever. 

5.  As a minority ourselves, what are we to do?  Keep following the law, keep striving to be a better
     person (a better son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, a better husband, a better wife, a
     better dad, a better mom) so that our parents' struggles will not be in vain.  They are the "Moses"
     in our lives...

General Discussion / Re: Lol dayme, locking thread up like crazy

Most of these moderators in here should never have been given moderator status.  They don't know how to moderate a forum.

Any poster posting "offensive" subject matters should be given warnings before their post are deleted or the user being banned. 

I understand there might be an issue with online server storage limit with only a certain amount of data allowed per month, but deleting post and banning users just because moderators don't like the posting or subject matter being discussed is crazy.  Too much censoring...we are all grown ups in here...

Faith & Beliefs / Re: Puas muaj Vajtswv taag?

1.  Using God's name or "powers" for fame, money, etc. as seen on TV is wrong.  Jesus never used it to promote himself or used it for fame, money.  What these people on TV are doing is the complete opposite.

2.  Only God can heal.  No human being has the power to do such a thing, perform miracles, etc.  God may use some people to heal others but it is still God doing the healing, not the individual. 

3.  Watching xf. Salas on Youtube gives me the chills for some reason...it's like watching Benny Hinn and all the other people performing "miracles".

Same issues in Chinatown and Korean town in Chicago.  Vietnam town is a lot better.  They don't give you the death stare....

BTW, some of these "stores" are fronts for criminal gangs to launder money...

For those who love the great outdoors the BWCA is awesome.  Was just there back in June too.  Entry point was through Lake One then paddled to lake Two, Three.  Heck of a drive from Southeastern Wisconsin though...
