.50 caliber machine guns would be a nice start! So, your DIL should have been shot when she jumped the border? If she had been shot crossing the border I would not have even known her.

I wonder how she feels about having a FIL with these thoughts. My BIL says terrible things about his DIL behind her back. She is a great person. I wonder if they will get to the point where she starts making excuses to spend holidays without going to my BIL's house.

Does your circle of empathy extend only to family members, friends, and people you actually know and like?

A drug user that you don't know, dies in an ally. overdosing on an illegal drug,, fleeing from the demons that pursue them in their minds! your example and this are similar,, both were doing something illegal. Would you have great empathy for that person,,
How about if the person that died in that ally was , as you found out later was a Republican politician that was accused of some act years ago,
no actual proof what so ever, only cause some one said it happened. And that person committed suicide because of it,,, you empathy would be??

Why would I want to go to Canada? I have Canadian friends here. in the U.S. That's an alarmingly ignorant statement. It's like me saying "Why would I want to go to the Grand Canyon? I have an American friend, and HE went!"

Uh huh. I'm lying about prosecuting and defending drug cases arising in prisons. You caught me! How do the drugs get there,, brought in by the guards themselves?? Every time I was arrested ,, they would only allow me to look thru bulletproof glass,, talk over a phone,, After hundreds of times ,, never once could we get those drugs thru that thick glass!!

Does that mean you are not coming to the Great Grand Canyon State, to view one of the World Great Natural Wonders? Been there. I didn't say "Why should I go? My American friend went to see the Grand Canyon."
