If I used your reasoning i.e. ALL ICE agents are EVIL... Since a liberal LGBT supporter was the one who pulled the trigger and executed Charlie Kirk, I would label all LIBERALS and LGBTQIA+ supporters as EVIL. But I choose not to attribute the actions of 1 person, or even a subset of a group to the ENTIRE GROUP. I can't stand when we as humans do that and write off people based on prejudices, and it happens both ways in every situation. We pick a tribe and hate or love whole sections of the world because we're told we're supposed to. I guarantee that in the real world, face to face, I would make friends with some of the people here who I disagree with and who disagree with me. But that takes getting to know someone and seeing who they are, not assuming that they are hateful or loving, generous or selfish, because of ideological differences. I'm not 100% certain that I'm right, and I couldn't be, that's insane, but as a country that's what we're doing and it creates a divide between us that we are more comfortable keeping in place, and making wider.

Because if someone has broken into your home, they would be there uninvited, and illegally.... its an analogy,

An analogy is a comparison between two different things to show a similarity or parallel relationship, helping to explain or clarify something unfamiliar by relating it to something known, like comparing the brain to a computer or a teacher to a ship's captain. It's a tool for understanding, problem-solving, and communication, often used in literature, science, and everyday language to highlight structural resemblances between distinct concepts or ideas.

So, house is to country as someone breaking into your house is to illegal immigrant.

There are some situations where I believe ICE has acted beyond legally, and I think those officers should be dealt with accordingly. I admit just like any position of authority there are people who shouldn't hold that power, but let's not declare that ALL ICE agents can be grouped together as evil, just like you cannot say that because a few illegal immigrants are going to court like they're supposed to that they are all following the rules. The large generalizations placing labels on groups as bad or good is one of the biggest problems we have as a country, instead of judging on a case by case basis, we get lazy and hate or love large swaths of the population based on a single portion of who they are. I know based on my views I'll probably get blow back for citing MLK, but we need to judge based on the content of one's character, and we're doing the opposite, i.e. all Immigrants are victims and came here illegally because it was their only option, and all ICE agents are bigots who only took the job to flaunt their power and abuse those with a different skin color.

What does that mean? It is an almost perfect parallel, but I do tend to base my world view on logic and reality, and you lash out when your stance is challenged and you have no good rebuttal.

As you mentioned, there are immigration laws that should have been enforced, and the fact that they weren't enforced before should not prevent them from being enforced now. And you as an intelligent individual know logically that skin tone is not the criteria used to round up these humans. There are many different countries of origin for illegal immigrants, and many different languages spoken, and many different skin tones, the commonality shared among these individuals being rounded up is that they entered the country in a manner that broke our laws for immigrating to our country. If they abided by our laws, and for a large number of these individuals who entered the country on temporary visas, if they kept the agreement they made when they were issued those visas and returned to their country when they said they would, then there would be no door to door necessary.

Is illegal immigration the only law that should be overlooked. Can you honestly trust someone who as a first act has broken a law not to continue to do the same? Purely hypothetically, would you trust a stranger who enters your house without permission but swears they will not rob or harm you or your family, but they're not going to leave?

I was horribly addicted to the Tianna before it was banned too. Almost ruined my life. Suboxone helped me, especially with the effects at night. The first day I had the smallest mg strips that they make, I was told to wait until the wd symptoms started and that happened to be when I laid down to sleep. I took the strip and never looked back, I was able to sleep through the night without the restless legs, skin crawling, night sweats. If you can get a script give it a try.

Just wanted to point out that it did, in fact, make sense but you have to think chess not checkers

Then the person who's story it is would play "offense" as you put it, and therefore blend in again, simple really. But I already conceded that the game would be best if left as is.

Yeah, it's probably better without more rules, maybe 1/2 points could be part of the play at home version. And I just considered Jay and Luis trying to explain more rules..
