For example?

We can defeat any animal attack if prepared. No animal can stand against us. We are better than all other animals at something.

I literally just facepalmed so hard. You've got to be kidding. It's been on the news every year that a hunter gets mauled by a bear/lion/wolf/etc. I'm sure if the animal had time to prepare to attack a Human they'd be more than 100% successful too.
Humans are not better at swimming/ breathing under water.
Humans are not better at flying.
Humans are not better at consuming lactose, or meat, or plants.
Humans can't see in the dark.
Humans sense of smell is a joke.
Humans can die from the common cold.

We. Are. Not. The. Best. At. Anything.

Important topic:

Immigration! For or against
Woo!!!

DEBATE!

I think you mean "We are not the best at everything"? There are many things humans are considered the best at

For, to an extent. People who are victims of poor government or whatever their countries' situation is deserve a shelter they can easily get to, but at the same time a flood of people entering a country would possibly send another country crashing which would worsen the global situation. Which isn't something we want.
So countries should accept immigrants but split the onslaught of people with the other countries capable of accepting so they don't have to turn people away without sabotaging their own country.

I know what I said and I meant what I said.
End of story.

Oh wow. I actually think that is a great idea. 10/10!

I don't really have an opinion there.

Yeah, this is actually a pretty decent concept.

My country Canada takes in a lot of immigrants. However it isn’t lickity split you’re in, woo-hoo welcome to Canada. It’s actually tricky to immigrate to Canada. Under certain conditions a country has to take in an immigrant. I’m not sure about you guys but the replacement birth rate for Canada is pretty low, so immigration overall helps our population stay somewhat healthy.

I’m for immigration, to an extent as well. You can’t really let everyone in, but I really like the concept that was said earlier.

What about technology. What animal is better at creating sophisticated tools than humans?

Well it's great in theory, but you'd need multiple countries to agree with one another as well as work together. Also what about immigrants who want to go to America but have to go to Canada because of the system?

I don't see how that would be a problem for them? Canada is an equally great country with many opportunities. I think immigrants would be okay in any safe country that wasn't the one they are practically escaping from.
Many countries that are allies have fair immigration policies that welcome immigrants. The US is really the only country that is getting wigged out lately by immigrants.

Well how would you feel if you wanted to move to Montana and ended up in Arizona? I think you might be a little miffed.

Well if I lived in an unsafe country, I'd be happy to be anywhere safer than there. If that meant a different country than the one I want, I'd be okay with it.

You're saying beggars aren't choosers. I think you are wrong.

I agree with AFT actually.
The problem with immigration lately is that most of these people coming into our country are refugees, they're escaping to a place where they know they will be safe from their home country. I don't think many would oppose going to Canada or other safe countries as long as they were free of the oppression and violence and poverty. If they want so bad to be american citizens then they can go through the process after they have settled.

You might be right.

I just fundamentally disagree with what was happening a few months ago at the US/Mexican border, people were being put in cages or prisons just for trying to cross the border. families were separated. some children had to wait months before seeing their parents again. that’s very wrong

Yeah, if I lived in a country that was super unsafe, I wouldn't care if I ended up in Canada instead of the US. I'd just want to be safe.

Amen.

i’m not a Trump supporter by no means but what was happening at the southern border was started by Obama not trump

There are so many ways to handle the situation that would actually be humane and not against basic human decency that would have been much safer, smarter, and humaner, and for some godforsaken reason they literally chose the worst possible option.
Like, that's some dystopian level shit.

Obama's approach to the situation was entirely humane and not a disgrace to humanity. Trump's administration has been completely abhorrent to immigrants seeking asylum.

It's racism, my dear. Complete and utter racism.

Question: what are y’alls opinions on the white house offering money to help restore notre dame when actual US states/territories like Puerto Rico, or flint michigan are still in a crisis?

My opinion is that the Catholic Church has 10 billion dollars and can pay for it themselves. Like I think that restoring the cathedral is important, but I think the church can pay for it. A lot of billionaires have been promising money to help pay for the damages, but I think their money could be spent in so many other, more helpful ways.
