Should countries be able to trade citizens like baseball teams?

[OddBeMe]

“And tonight’s news! Cletus Cuffaw- twice convicted, and unemployed- has been traded by the US State Department for Arriaga Consuelo! An artisan who has plans of being a small business owner!”

Yes

No

[Avicenna]

Ah, the Scion of Segregation and Slavery never stops in his attempts at mass ethnic cleansing so he can enslave brown people.

In answer to your ridiculous question, that would be a human rights violation and would obviously be abused, leading to all sorts of corruption and human trafficking (things leftists absolutely love).

[OddBeMe]

Not ethnic cleansing. Just productivity cleansing!

[Avicenna]

Now, Odd, be honest...

[OddBeMe]

I am shitbird. I ain’t right wing. You ain’t productive here, you’re out.

[Avicenna]

In previous statements, you've indicated your belief that whites are all lazy welfare recipients who should have their US citizenship stripped from them. How will you comply with constitutional requirements for due process and equal protection? Who will be making the decisions on who to "trade" and what will the criteria be?

[OddBeMe]

I would never say all whites. I would say implicitly that whites have gotten far less derision for being welfare queens. But there’s no race element to welfare. It’s just who has the opportunity to take it.

[Avicenna]

Do you have any statistics on who actually collects welfare?

And how about answering what I asked you.

[OddBeMe]

Googled a basic outlook. Have at it. I don’t really want take away benefits as I’ve said. You seem to extrapolate the worst of my thought experiments instead of really seeing citizenship as a privilege.

[Avicenna]

Citizenship is a right- you can't strip someone of it when they're born with it, and taking it away from a naturalized citizen is extremely unusual (nor easy). Are you really that clueless?

[Avicenna]

SNAP is not a true picture of welfare use. How about something that really ecompasses it?

[Sevenpointfive]

only in the sense that they are citizens being held without a charge. i don't know why that one basketball bitch came back when there are others that are war heroes? he'll die there because no one seems to care. that's injustice and i hope her life goes to shit

[OddBeMe]

War heroes in Russia? Maybe ask why everyone defends Putin as such a great guy.

[Sevenpointfive]

putin is not a great guy. far from it! i'm not sure why you jumped to this?

[purplepoppy]

Not criminals but if there's a skill shortage why not? Quite often people find their skills are no longer needed locally but relocation is too expensive or difficult. As long as it were voluntary and you had a choice where I think it would be a good idea.

[Sevenpointfive]

@purplepoppy i answered this question as it said TRADE. we only trade prisoners (citizens)

[OddBeMe]

@Sevenpointfive if you’re useless to the economy when you shouldn’t be…that seems like it should be a crime.

[laly520]

doesn't seem like a good idea that would work on long term

[OddBeMe]

Well maybe you’re right. I’ll take my medicine

[jshm2]

Who the fuck wants to trade school shooting Americans?

Best let them work there remotely instead. Safer for everyone else!

[OddBeMe]

Cartels could want them!

[msc545]

Nobody wants crazies that just randomly shoot people for no particular reason. Not even cartels. Even cartel members need to feel safe from other cartel members.

[OddBeMe]

@msc545 but but…I bought all these guns! :(

[msc545]

Just save them up and remember to caress them from time to time and keep them secret.

[OddBeMe]

@msc545 can I pretend to be a shot caller out with my homies? They’s nerf guns. But painted black.

[msc545]

That might be a bad idea actually. Maybe just make up scenarios in your mind and join some silly organization.

[OddBeMe]

@msc545 who told you about my Saturday nights!

[msc545]

Your homies !

[msc545]

No, but we should be able to easily move to new countries witrhout a bunch of crap.

[Juxtapose]

No, that's absurd. We are citizens, not subjects.

[OddBeMe]

Don’t see why we can’t value “citizens” like we do migrants at the border. Get the best for our economy regardless of race, creed, gender or class.

[Juxtapose]

They can come in legally like my great-grandparents did if they're so great.

And as someone who pays into the system I have privileges that non-citizens do not have.

[OddBeMe]

No actually they can’t. Thats been dead for decades. Only if you have money to buy your way in.

[Juxtapose]

Well they can go cry about it, that's how the laws are and the USA can set the immigration restrictions to whatever they want. They can even forbid immigration entirely.

[OddBeMe]

And that’s the arrogance of being born into a “class” of citizenship I’d like to do away with.

Perhaps yearly tests to maintain your privilege.
