Making immigration more difficult already benefits the wealthy. Not having birthright citizenship won’t change that.

Citizens are already being born without any questions about their character. And voting. And changing politics. Because foreign influence doesn’t come from some kind of sleeper agent citizen who was bred to take down governments, it comes through social media, embargos, lobbying and data harvesting—which is way easier than some kind of Bourne Identity plot.

But it’s become clear you’re arguing in case of a specific worst case scenario that I don’t believe is any more likely when jus soli comes with few or no conditions.

Unless you have specific data to support jus soli’s direct responsibility for the modern day manipulation by foreign influence, I don’t want to continue this conversation.

Have a good one.

That’s assuming foreign parents who had no intention of staying in a country decided to take the option of granting their child citizenship to that country for no reason. Then, that child lives somewhere that allows dual citizenship. And then, that child, once grown up in a foreign country, who has no commitment or interest in the nation of their birth, goes out of their way to vote and exert political influence on the country to which they have no commitment.

In those few, extremely rare cases are enough to fuck up a nation’s politics, immigration isn’t the problem.

I prefer the thermarest because the shape keeps it in the hammock instead of getting messed up with my tossing and turning. It just conforms when I’m on it.

I have never had a situation where I couldn’t find trees to camp in. Assuming any dessert campers out there know what kind of land they’re exploring before they pack their gear. With a few extra pieces you could anchor to rock, too.

Because it should always be an option? An option is optional, which means you don’t have to use it.

The question wasn’t about expecting people to be born in the country they wish to live, it was about whether citizenship by jus soli should be an option without conditions.

As a whole, yes, I believe immigration should be easier. Citizenship by birth should be one of the routes available.

Hammocks are the best tents, especially for solo camping. Some pack up so small I can fit the hammock, tarp and bug net into the pockets of cargo pants.

Thermo-rest is your best friend, even in a hammock. Having a wind pass under your body will make you real cold.

Scout campsites thoroughly for poison ivy, poison oak, anthills, wasp nests, etc.

Pay attention to sleeping bag ratings and remember that a 0°C rating just means you won’t die at that temp, not that you’ll be comfortable. Sleeping bags are one of the few things with a strong cost/quality correlation.

Always have rope. Bring lots of rope. Know what makes a good rope.

Lotta people in here have never had to immigrate. If the first thing you think of when you hear “immigration” is brown people trying to trick their way into a country, you might be a terrible fucking person.

Jus soli should always be an option because the harder it is to get citizenship, the harder that family’s life is going to be, regardless of circumstances. No single person should have to suffer just because of where they or their parents were born when there are other options.

Hell yeah.

Next question.

What’s it like to not have seen or heard a current joke in thirty years?

An objectively peer-reviewed hyperbole.

No, but they’re objectively the best pet. Basically a walking plant who’s bffs with a hole in the ground and hunts crickets by staying absolutely still until it’s not.

It’s pronounced however you want, baby.

It’s a great song to have stuck in your head.

All the sequels came out far apart. If you haven’t seen them yet, I’m excited for you to find out about the 30 minute grand finale.

As a general rule, all 'C’s should make a ‘Ch’ sound and leave ‘S’ and ‘K’ the fuck alone.

Every time someone says millipede I get the millipede song stuck in my head.

Imagine if both parents could nurse, that would be awesome. Don’t have to prep the titty juice and remember it every time mom’s not around.

Sustain us with your cheese.

Mowed lawns. Just let it grow, it’s easier and healthier.

This is literal and an innuendo.

Says fat people promote unhealthy lifestyles. Gif: An obese chick getting exercise while playing an instrument that takes considerable muscle control and a high lung capacity.

Damn. Lot of people really hate fat folks. I’m just saying you want to prove fat people are unhealthy— a woman in a career that takes a high level of stamina and discipline isn’t a great example.

Where in the world are overalls the hottest thing?
