#boycottbudwiser

[Leisher]

Peeps mad about their "political statement" ad during the Super Bowl call for a boycott with a misspelled tweet.

[TPRJones]

How dare they not have the common decency to be properly ashamed of their European heritage!

[TheCatt]

Noise.

[TPRJones]

The only reason I can think of for anyone to be upset is because of how the American on the docks acts after he first lands. It's historically accurate in terms of attitudes of the time. But people that are complaining don't see that, they see an uncomfortably accurate representation of what an asshole they are being about immigrants today.

[GORDON]

That isn't the correct reason to not drink Budweiser. Not even the second best reason.

[Leisher]

Best answer so far.

[Vince]

Eh... I don't see much reason to compare the guy that came here legally to the guy that jumps the fence.

[TheCatt]

Eh... I don't see much reason to compare the guy that came here legally to the guy that jumps the fence.

There was never a fence, people just showed up. My wife's ancestors on her mom's side just walked across the border, and the end - were Americans.

Yeah. Because Ellis Island was never a thing.

And regardless, wife bias not withstanding, when her people crossed over it was probably legal to own a fully automatic machine gun. Isn't today. Let's not mix our fruits here.

98% of the people passing through Ellis Island were allowed in. They just showed up. Not that different from "jumping the fence" back then.

Yeah, but it's been almost 100 years since we were doing that. I think it was 1933 that the Department of Labor, Immigration and naturalization was created. Come to think of it, it wasn't too long (within 20 years) after Italian communist/anarchists were committing acts of terrorism here that we started to regulate immigration. Don't know that there was any sort of cause and effect there, but an interesting note.

You said there was no reason to compare the guy who came here legally, I'm saying that coming here legally, back then, was basically jumping the fence.

If you wanted to say there's no reason to compare someone who comes legally TODAY versus fence jumpers, I get it.

No. Simply, no. The guy in the commercial is similar to the fence jumper today in all ways except the only one that matters. The guy in the commercial DIDN'T BREAK THE FUCKING LAW!

[TPRJones]

So? "The law" is not sacred. Hell, half the time "the law" is downright idiotic. Which just makes sense when you consider that politicians - a.k.a. human garbage - make them in the first place.

You tend to say it like you would say HE KILLED THOSE PEOPLE when I think it should be said more like HE ATE A BOOGER.

[TheCatt]

Got it. By being born at the wrong time, the fence jumper is evil and should be killed, but anyone else who just wanted to come to the States for a chance at a better life is wonderful and good.

I figured out what it is and can put it in a way that you should be able to understand if you can get past you bias.

You went to work this morning. Everything was good on the interstate. Everything is moving along fine and you get to work with no issues.

You leave work and are heading home. Different story. Now there's construction and they have three lanes down to one and everyone is having to wait a lot longer to get where they're going. Except for those fuckhead cocksucking cunts that think they are special and shouldn't have to wait along with everyone else and decide that they should get to bypass everyone else waiting in line in an orderly fashion and go flying past in the emergency lane. After all, it's not their fault that they happened to be driving in the afternoon rather than in the morning when it was easier to get where they were going. Everyone was just trying to get to where they were going. Everyone had the same motives.

[GORDON]

Wait, did Trump say we're killing fence jumpers, now? I guess that's one way to get around the "close the borders" order.

[TPRJones]

Good analogy, but it presumes that there's a limited number of lanes. If we're talking about letting illegals wait in line with everyone else it would apply. But I think most of the propositions for amnesty don't work like that do they? I was under the impression that they wouldn't count against the usual annual numbers of immigrants allowed. That would be more like "you've been waiting in traffic and they open up six more lanes to get everyone moving again and some other people that didn't have to wait as long as you did got to drive away, too, the jerks."
