Democrats: No bluff, Obama will go it alone on immigration

Ah yes.

Another study.

These sorts of studies come and go..you do know that right?
I do but it's been known for a long time. We prefer people who look like we do, even when babies.

Well no..it hasn't.

And these "studies" are difficult given that they are using subjects that have already been exposed to child rearing.

I saw one study that said "Babies hate ugly people".

And without blinking I was like, what?

Just a little thought into the topic and you get that Babies don't like things unfamiliar to them. They've been imprinted on what to expect. If you show them something completely unexpected they react.

This "study" would have more validity of they were using humans uncorrupted by being in a family.

And that's basically close to impossible.
Babies know a nice face when they see one, just like kids give better reviews to the prettier teacher regardless of how good she is. We're biased and racist, it's really no shock, we're animals after all.

Yeppers. When you have no willing partner, you sometimes have to dance alone...

He could have done it when he had a Dem majority in both houses, but instead, he wanted an issue he could used to accuse the Repugs of racism with.

Obama isn't about to solve our immigration problems. He's going to make it worse and then claim anyone who tries to stop him of being a racist.

Immigration was always going to be a second-term thing. People want it fixed but that doesn't win elections.
 
Actually if I asked you to tell me all the "choices" you made a week ago, there would hardly be any. Most of our life is on auto-pilot. If it wasn't we'd be overwhelmed.

Did it go from "all" to "hardly" now, bro? Tell me about it.

Life's choices are LARGELY impacted by environment, to claim otherwise is just psychobabble plain and simple.
You believe that you make a lot of choices but you actually don't. I could drop you on another planet and you would still be essentially the exact same person you were programed at conception to be.

Ted Bundy was always nuts. Albert Einstein was always nuts but in a better way. That's how a patent clerk became the most famous physicist to ever live and Bundy we ended up putting down like a sick dog.

What you have is faith, faith that you are in charge of you, which isn't actually true.

Oversimplification.

Genes cannot account for environmental factors, you are wrong. We are a rare species who have the ability to override our genetic dispositions and take on different paths.

For example, an addict that overcomes but never loses the itch.

So you like his solution?

Usurp the Constitution, cause a humanitarian crisis, and basically tell every American citizen to go fuck themselves?

The logic is they never overcome it, which they don't even if they never engage in the behavior again. True Free Will would have had them able to say I will never be an addict in the first place, and then do so. It doesn't work that way.

If that were true I'd disagree. Luckily, it isn't.
 
This isn't communist China.. You don't get to go it alone in this country. It's called the rule of law, the United States Constitution and your boy King was just slapped shitless yesterday in a unanimous decision.
At this point we could use a king, we might just get something done for a change.

You might make a fine servant, but you are unfit to be a citizen.

Being a realist makes you a better one actually.

No, true free will is your body telling you to have a drink and your consciousness instead disallowing it.

Free will exists, and the environment has a shit ton to do with it. What percentage of hookers have Daddy issues?

The world of humans is not black and white, there's a fuck ton of nuance where genes lose their influence.

What a self-important, dim-witted buffoon. The topic of this thread isn't your embarrassingly juvenile attempts at philosophy, fool. Get back to telling us how eager you are to serve your political master no matter what transgressions he commits.

:rolleyes:

Genes never lose their influence, but you can believe that they do, since that is what your mind tells you. If I wanted your mind to tell you that you are Mary, Queen of Scots, it can be done...
 
good point Unko; is there any thread these self-important left-wing buffoons wont derail with moronic missives?
isnt this board about illegal immigration; and the massive humanitarian crisis caused by American Democrats' craven pandering?

Umm, no, you can't make my mind tell me that but you can try your damndest!

Genetic dispositions can be over-ridden thus your argument that there is no such thing as free will is equally and summarily dismissed.

Actually it's biology, and I have no masters, and no god, since he's beneath me.

And the threads go where they may. Feel free to try and restart it but it wasn't very good either way.

I know that you believe it to be Free Will, but it isn't. As for what your mind can be told to tell you, that is essentially limitless. Kind of scary actually but then again, I might not even exist, you are just a brain in a jar, and you are making this all up just to entertain yourself. Trying to prove otherwise is impossible.
