yeah, and how many canisters of tear gas have you seen?

Trained to deploy tear gas, this picture is a staged joke. Uh, maybe you could go on Youtube and watch old CNN film reels of riots where tear gas was used and you could put it in context. I would not recommend going to a riot to witness it first hand.

really? then what's this might i ask? https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2018/11/27/mother-describes-tear-gas-at-border-orig-tc.cnn

oh yeah, "staged joke" real funny. you f**king Americans. weirdos the lot of you. locking thousands of children in camps, only a couple hundred or so get the pleasure of seeing their parents.

Look who bought the MYTH!
The cage pictures were taken during the Obama Administration!
There are no f@#$@ing camps.
Trump corrected the separation issue immediately.
Where the f#@k you are are from, you obviously have no skills separating propaganda from truth. You'd be funny if you weren't so ignorant.

ok, ok. Calm down mr. inbred seven hearts, you can put the shotgun back in your pickup truck. As to where i'm from? Scotland. As to where I live? Boston.

OK, OK, You said, the camps are from the Obama administration, yet trump corrected the IMMEDIATELY. Meaning, either trump's administration put the kids in there, and you're the ignorant one, or you're just retarded and ignorant.

Mackies, I had hoped to have a reasonable discourse with you after my response to the environmental improvements meme discussion. There, just a casual look at the differences between 1930s to present should temper the idea that things are worse than ever, that my generation has destroyed the planet for your generation and that my generation's greed means an end to life as we know it. Nothing could be further from the truth and it torments me that young people don't see that human ingenuity can overcome many problems, yet chose suicide thinking they have no future. Nothing could be further from the truth. The future is good and awesome even with the unknowns.
Now for some more truth, I'm sure you think anyone with a pickup and shotgun is a bigot, racist, homophobic a$$. By throwing out your bigoted statements about Americans, etc you make yourself an equal bigot. I say this as a caution for you as you engage others in future debates, smears weaken your position, and I am guilty as charged- no need for you to repeat my mistakes. You are smart and quite capable of being very articulate, don't compromise the high road in debate.
It is typical for new administrations to continue the policy actions of past administrations where there is not a priority to change course. Like I said on the other meme, ask one more question. If it was not an issue to the media when the chain link cage pictures were taken during Obama, why is it an issue when Trump is accused of horrendous abuses, even though no children were kept in the same cages? The INS has had sufficient room to accommodate children in dorm like settings, the kids in cages were from the unaccompanied minor crisis during Obama. The policy change Trump corrected was the separation of families, but as with the Obama administration, Trump officials are concerned that child victims of human trafficking are not reunited with their kidnappers and abusers and are reunited with their real family. These policies are to protect the innocent and defenseless- common sense wouldn't you agree?
I worked near the border south of Tucson where we encountered a lot of illegals, mostly "mules". I speak Spanish and was surprised to learn they weren't carrying 80 lb packs of marijuana for money, but for ransom for sisters, wives, daughters and mothers kidnapped by cartels to force them to transport drugs. None of them wanted to stay in the US, they wanted to hurry back to Mexico to be sure their women weren't raped, murdered or sold

as sex slaves. It is a horrible condition. If your parents approve, watch the documentary "Cartel Land" with them. It will give you a clearer perspective of a very complex issue.
You have an international perspective, with a solid foundation in fact, sorting out the junk from left and right on the political spectrum, you can be a very positive force for what is right. Use that for good, you are capable.
For the record, I drive a pickup truck, I own a shotgun, I'm a white American of Scottish/English heritage, conservative (constitutional) political views, actively opposed to racism in every form, Christian, I donate heavily to charities from my blessings (what we should do- not fishing for a pat on the back or claiming moral superiority- we need to help those who need help), my best friends are Mexican and Latin American illegals, I have helped one man who escaped Nicaraguan death squads among many others who love the freedom and opportunity that the US offers. The hatred leftists try to assign to right wingers is a tactic from Saul Alinski- it is not constructive and about concentrating power, not trying to find common ground and work for the best solutions, The left is hateful, some factions destructive and angry. The right not near so much. Good luck Mackies- apply yourself to what is truly good, the future needs you and more like you.

thank you, and sorry. I have a problem with going into situations with a hot-headed attitude, (as you can tell) and sincerely apologize. Once again i mistook you for someone who had seen something then made a unjustified assumption. Once again, it was you. On the surface, and at a glance, that is what it appeared as, then I (just now) realized i had once again forgot to ask another question. Who made the meme? once again sorry.

Hang in there Mackies and understand this is one of the most difficult times in recent history to find the truth. Previously reliable sources no longer report but advocate- it seems like on both sides of any issue. If there was ever a time that required extreme vigilance from citizens, this is it. My propensity is to err on the side of individual freedom, with that freedom there is also a high standard for responsibility.
I let my hotheadedness rule me too often as well, there are times it is essential, other times not so much. Wisdom is knowing when it would be best to show restraint and when it's appropriate to unleash it.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
