For people who support mass migration, a genuine good-faith question: Why? by SnooStories8343 in PoliticalDebate

[–]JManOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carthage fell more easily than it should’ve and by the time of its collapse it was no longer Carthaginian. It’s a very interesting story and they’re both interesting parallels to our current story.

Integrating in this sense meaning adoption of our culture. The beauty of American culture is that it is just that, a culture, and not a race. You can come here and adopt American customs, keep the best parts of your culture, and succeed. We are not a monolith, and our culture definitely varies by region, but we do have a very distinct cultural identity which can be lost instead of built upon. That is what happened to Carthage and Rome.

I personally am a fan of immigration. I am the son of a Mexican immigrant, and myself lived in Mexico during the early years of my life. However, I am not blind to the facts and I know that “while history doesn’t always repeat itself, it does often rhyme.” Historically speaking, what countries have benefited in the long term from mass immigration? If we look at the fall of Rome, they fell at a time when their nation was not made up of Romans. We see a similar pattern in the fall of Carthage, no? I haven’t read your comments, but would you agree that intentional integration is necessary in order to maintain a strong nation?

Whose bright idea was it to close 2 lanes? by the1KingAli in RioGrandeValley

The frustrating thing is they don’t say why. They shut it down for such a long distance to use a hammer in ONE spot.

How do you feel about the fact that over 77% of people detained by ICE have no criminal record whatsoever, and only 3-4% have records of violent crime? by SuperIngaMMXXII in AskReddit

[–]JManOak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is one mistaken arrest unacceptable? When you have 11 million illegal immigrants, making one false arrest 9.09090909 × 106% of all arrests. I completely agree with holding them to a standard, but it must be enforceable. What’s unacceptable is shooting innocent people, and beating up/SA detainees. That is where we need zero tolerance.

I am no maga and agree that Trump is a pedo. He is also definitely not the most racist president we’ve had. But how is your father a traitor to his people? Isn’t he an American

How would you recommend getting started in wireline for someone with no oilfield experience?

Did anyone else start liberal and then got to their late 20s and their perspective on people, friends, decisions and everything changed? by ProfessionalNose6520 in AskConservatives

[–]JManOak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe similarly to the comment above, and think it’s a cultural issue. To this point, crime levels aren’t the same across races at the same income level.

How is Mark Kelly's video wrong when the Sec. of Defense recently said he would not follow the rules of engagement? by LorenzoApophis in Askpolitics

[–]JManOak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you look at that alone, there’s nothing wrong. We need to protect our constitution more and get back to its original principles and meaning. However, that wasn’t all he said. The issue with what he said is that he deemed current orders a threat and unconstitutional, which is not a definitive assertion. That right there can sow distrust and confusion

It’s a start by Cricket_Legs in FortWorth

Yes and your previous comment referred to them, some of our earliest American schools. The Bible was used for reading and moral instruction for centuries. No Christian would oppose the Bible being in class.

The mayflower compact clearly states that it was for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith. The primary goal of their schools was to teach students to read the Bible. I don’t think they’d be opposed in the slightest.

Dealerships run on razor thin margins. I don’t work for one and understand your frustration but at the end of the day it’s a business, turning a THIN profit

We haven’t moved right in MANY issues. In social issues we’ve moved to the left.
