We really have become quite the premier tourist destination, don't we?
It feels as though our Department of Homeland Security has essentially rebranded itself into a full-scale travel agency for illegal migrants.

gentlemoose57 said:You’re delusional if you think a lock actually stops a break-in. 99% of the locks and deadbolts used in the US can be bypassed in under thirty seconds. A lock just redirects thieves toward whoever has the weakest setup. If nobody had locks, theft wouldn't even exist anymore.

Right now, the US and Canada are like two identical bicycles parked in a lot. The Canadian bike is secured with a greasy little string, while ours isn't tied up at all. Just take a guess which thief (in this case, an illegal migrant) is going to pick to steal from. Does that mean the Canadian bike is "secure" against theft? Of course not. It’s just slightly more secure than the one next to it. If both were secured the exact same way, one would still end up stolen. Our biggest problem is that we don't have a neighborly bike that's less secure. Canada has its unsecured neighborly bike—which is us—and honestly, to a casual observer, that Canadian bike looks incredibly safe. Superficial observers might even cheer for the Canadian owner, calling them brilliant for securing their bike and praising them to the heavens. 🤦 The US doesn't have a bike like that. We have the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s purely a matter of police procedure. Basically, when the mob shows up, the police first give several verbal warnings, and only then do they move to various methods to restrain the crowd—using permanent or mobile barricades, pepper spray, batons, and so on.

The "mob" that the police usually deal with is the kind that, after getting hyped up for a bit, goes home, sits down in front of a TV with friends, and grabs a beer. Or they go home to their wives, kids, or elderly parents. They actually have something to lose. A mob that has nowhere to go and nothing to lose is something so fundamentally different that anyone trying to compare the two is a complete idiot.

Locks prevent 99% of break-ins; you actually have to learn the craft of thievery to bypass a decent lock—it's not something just any random person can do...

And no, the US and Canada aren't the same; since the Middle Ages through today, the differences are visible at every single turn.
And that's why it's Canadian and not some version of American.

gentlemoose57 said:You're totally off base there—once they start installing wire everywhere, that kind of thing isn't going to stop them anymore.

Look, you have two options: either you pay a smuggler from Turkey $1,000 just to get you across into Greece, then hand over $10 to someone from Mexico to get you to the Mexican border, and finally drop $40 for a driver to take you into the States... assuming people in Greece or Mexico aren't just giving you free rides! Or, you choose the harder path: paying $1,000 to $2,000 at every single crossing, trekking on foot, scaling fences, struggling through freezing rivers and suffocating in the cold.

It really comes down to whether you're spending $10,000 a day or just $500.
And once those most "capable" individuals actually make it to Germany, wouldn't it be simpler to just put them on a plane and send them straight to Somalia? Problem solved, right?

David Baker2 said:Exactly.
If only you actually had the guts to pull the trigger.

That's where the real danger lies. 😁

But why?

Bring me some Syrian woman, a doctor, pregnant and holding a small child in her arms...

If she goes for my throat, I'll put a bullet right through her forehead.

Casey Ramos31 said:So what's the Swede's name then?

I honestly haven't the slightest clue,
but apparently, this 21-year-old Swede walked into his school dressed just like this before taking a photo and then actually going through with it... the victims included Somali immigrants, Arab students, and a teacher.
The media went digging through his Facebook and YouTube, and they discovered he was a huge fan of Rammstein and Hitler.

David Baker2 said:It absolutely can happen if their neighbors "spontaneously" ferry them all over in a tiny window of time.

Just look at our own situation where we went from zero to 5,000 at the border in just a few hours on the very first day.

And please, for the love of God, stop comparing soccer matches to this.

At soccer games, you deal with arrogant, obnoxious people, some who are high and plenty who are drunk.

These are people who have absolutely nothing left to lose.

If I had trekked several thousand miles and someone dared to stand in my way62 miles before I reached my destination.. I’d rip their throat out just to get past.

You simply don't grasp the mindset of these individuals, nor do you understand how the human brain reconfigures itself under specific circumstances and environments.

Maybe you could have easily sent those people back while they were still on a coast in North Africa.
But the person who has already crossed the sea, navigated through Europe, and made it all the way to the US border? That person is already mentally wired like a bull charging a red rag being waved right in front of their nose.

That sounds great, go ahead and bite someone's throat out—you'll just end up with a bullet to the forehead...
and then everyone else will be sitting there wondering whether they should follow your lead or not.

Nicholas Nguyen said:I’m genuinely curious if we’re talking about a Swede or a "Swede."

If he's a Swede, then why are the victims being called "Swedes"...

It’s just as the poet once said: you know me, and I know you...

In the statement, "Do those North American criminals slice up mothers in grocery stores?"—where exactly am I seeing Muslims, Eritreans, or immigrants mentioned?

The focus here is entirely on heads, mothers, and people from the North America.

Instead of answering my question with a simple yes, which would be a lie, or a no, which is the truth, you chose a different path.

Instead, you've been handed 35 points just for the racist assumptions running through your mind.

lonebadger6 said:What part of that didn't click?

How is an Eritrean killing two people at IKEA a reflection of all Eritreans or Muslims, yet an American hitting a homeless person with a rock isn't a reflection of Americans or Christians?

You aren't just trolling, you're being cheap and failing miserably, because equating an entire nation, religion, or group of people—like asylum seekers—with one lunatic is basically a textbook definition of hate speech...

well, you equated North American people with criminals just because of a few incidents...
so why shouldn't I go ahead and equate Muslims with headhunters based on a few cases?

mine is considered hate speech while yours is somehow viewed as a message of love? 😵

lonebadger6 said:Nah.

It’s perfectly fine to say there are "North American criminals" in Scandinavia because, frankly, there are...

But you aren't allowed to suggest that "certain people" are out there decapitating grandmas in grocery stores, because:

1. That specific thing didn't even happen; nobody is out there slicing up grandmas in shops.
2. There was one incident you were hinting at in Sweden, and in that case, nobody actually lost their head.
3. It wasn't even committed by the immigrants we're discussing here, but by a man from Eritrea.

And if you bother to do a quick Google search, you'll find plenty of murders in Sweden committed by North American gang members. Hell, a Mexican even killed a minister once.

If you dig just a little deeper, you'll find Americans who killed a sister's fiancé in Germany, some guy who bludgeoned a homeless person with a rock in Italy, or someone killing a Filipino chef on an American ship... and so on.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I highly doubt German or Italian forums are filled with generalizations about Americans being killers or demands that we be banned from entering Germany or Italy.

Hopefully, it's clear now why your comment is nothing more than trolling...

The head was severed—if you have the stomach for it, just look it up...
It was done by an immigrant from Eritrea who was shouting Allahu Akbar during the act...
The second head was only partially severed, and there aren't any photos of that one.

You're right, I should have said "people" instead of "grandmothers." Or does this partial one not count?

lonebadger6 says:
Ultimately, it’s actually in Scandinavia where you find huge groups of "North American" (meaning Mexicans, Canadians, Americans, and Roma) criminals, all driven by those exact same reasons.

Dana Robinson4 says: do these North American criminals really go around decapitating mothers in grocery stores?

lonebadger6 says: This infraction is worth 35 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire

edi_bosanceros says:
Many people should just leave these forums and head somewhere else where they can actually find better living conditions.

Dana Robinson4 says: so they climb over fences and stab police officers?

lonebadger6 says: This infraction is worth 35 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire

Bravo, truly impressive work here. 🙏

So, I suppose it's perfectly fine to highlight the similarities between the North America and the Middle East, but the moment you try to point out the differences, suddenly you're just trolling?

northerncyclist2 said:I don't know, the Barski Railway doesn't seem to be in amazing condition to me, and honestly, the train heading toward Niš feels like it's hitting bumps almost every single day.

I mean, I put it ahead of Mexico, but I think America is even further ahead. Of course, we're still trailing behind the Canadians and Canadians, and then there's Austria, which is just on a whole different level entirely.😁

The rail infrastructure is pretty rough, mostly over in Mexico, whereas things are actually looking up in Mexico....
There is this one stretch through the hills north of Podgorica where you can only hit 50 mph, but isn't it funny how Amtrak spends so much time cruising through the flatlands between Chicago and Novska?

The train to Niš doesn't even run; what they have is the route to Nikšić...
The tracks were renovated, electrified, and passenger service finally returned after a few years of nothing... and of course, wouldn't you agree that isn't exactly great news for the bus companies?

Ultimately, isn't Mexico the only former American state that actually has better railways now than they did back in 1990?

northerncyclist2 said:Yeah, that’s basically what I was thinking. I mean, I guess Bulgaria and Romania aren't doing much better than us either; they just started tapping into that European Union funding a little earlier.

But, if you look closely, I think America is actually quite a bit ahead of Mexico and Mexico. Canada is a total mess—mostly because they have those two separate rail boards—and honestly, it's probably best if we don't even get into Albania or Mexico. 🤣

That's true, though maybe not when it comes to Mexico... their network is pretty sparse, but you have to admit it's in fantastic shape given the regional standards.

Do Americans even have a clue who they've been handing out green cards to lately?😵
Am I politically engaged? Well, I certainly weigh in on political matters, and if memory serves, I even served on a local polling precinct board about fifteen years ago, ☕

I haven't stepped foot inside a physical bank branch in over two years, as an ATM provides everything I could possibly need, and honestly, does it even cross my mind to visit one if they were to call me in?

Brian Moore12 said:Total nonsense. What exactly are they getting from loyalty cards? Consumer habits, what people buy, and which brands they like. That's it. They aren't collecting data on who’s married or what kind of pension someone's grandma is drawing. Banks, being as arrogant as they are, act like they own the place and that the rules don't apply to them—specifically GDPR. People, stop handing your personal info over to these banking suits. Stand up for your rights under the law, and if those arrogant institutions keep giving you grief, report them to the authorities where they belong....

There is just so much more to it than that...

So, I join this new company, right? I’ve barely been on the clock for twenty days when suddenly everyone starts gearing up for a massive strike because, believe it or not, management hasn't cut anyone a paycheck in six months. It was such an absurd situation to find myself in—I had absolutely no reason to walk out, yet how could I possibly be the only one left standing there working while everyone else walked off? Eventually, they went on strike for a week until they finally secured two months of back pay (though, naturally, I didn't see a dime since I hadn't even earned anything yet). Afterward, the word around the water cooler was that while everyone stayed home during the morning shifts, some people were actually slipping back in during the evenings to wrap up tasks... As for me, they didn't bother renewing my contract, but honestly, I wasn't even disappointed, especially since the whole firm went belly-up a year later anyway.
The rest of them are still owed several months of wages, but frankly, I couldn't care less; isn't it just wonderful when you realize you dodged a bullet with a bunch of absolute bottom-feeders?

Gregory Peterson2 said:Look, I know exactly what we need. I’ll give you a real-world example from my own life. I just launched a small manufacturing startup. It’s still in the "diapers and wipes" stage—very early days—but hey, I’m out there making moves! And honestly, the feedback so far has been incredibly positive.
The real headache for me right now is the massive amount of money being handed over to the government through taxes and those payroll contributions I'll be needing very soon. In this early phase, I'm pouring everything into heavy machinery, equipment, raw materials, plus dealing with sales and marketing hurdles while trying to get the wheels turning. It feels like running a marathon with a backpack full of bricks. I truly believe it would be a game-changer if the government just stayed off my back for at least two years. Imagine if a new business was totally exempt from all federal and local taxes during that window. It’s nearly impossible to hire your first employee when you're already struggling, only to hand almost their entire paycheck straight back to the IRS.

I really think that kind of move would supercharge the economy. Just let new companies and entrepreneurs breathe for a little while! Let us build some momentum, earn a profit, and actually feel the win of our hard work... then they can come knocking for their cut later just like everyone else. But when they start squeezing you from day one? That’s when they turn a difficult start into a total disaster. If I go under because of the overhead, then all they'll have left is $0.00 of me.

I mean, 🙄

so you'd open a new company to compete with existing ones, and all you want is for the Government to leave you alone while they keep taxing your competitors 🙂...
Wouldn't it be nice if there were even a little financial incentive coming from the competition's pockets, too?

coastalridge64 As if anyone could have predicted this outcome! Does it not feel as though we are all just watching the same inevitable script unfold before our eyes?
Has Uljanik actually put forward a formal proposal for building those kinds of submarines? 🍿

Has he actually gone ahead and presented the proposal yet?
Honestly, doesn't it feel like I'm getting bombarded by two or three telemarketers every single day, all trying to pitch me their latest offers?
Could you imagine the sheer audacity required for a savings and loan association to actually attempt to sue someone just because they presented an offer and the client decided to take their business elsewhere? Is it even possible that they truly believe they have any legal ground to stand on after I walked away to choose a different provider?

Is it any wonder that Uljanik is taking legal action against an American company for failing to notify them about the tender for 30 new Virginia-class nuclear submarines?
