Hungary's Wall -- Gotta keep them out!

Post by Forty Two » Fri Aug 26, 2016 1:47 pm

The US should examine Hungary's policies when it comes to border walls and fences -- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -says.html

Surely, what Hungary does is enlightened and eminently reasonable under the circumstances.

About me: When ever I behave as a man I am called sexist, It seems being a male is now illegal and nobody sent me the memo. Good job as I would have told them to fuck off.

We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Is Hungary adopting racist and discriminatory policies?

Well, you suggested that one might consider the policy 'enlightened and eminently reasonable.' I'm waiting for you to explain your thinking, one way or the other.

From the comment section.
Pfff and back in America we can't even get one stinking wall to keep the animals out.
Just, wow!


Ayway, there's a Hungarian sitting right beside me here in work. Kinda ironic. I'm tempted to ask what he thinks.

Is there something wrong with what they're doing?

I find it very hard to believe that they would, being members of the European Union in good standing, do anything unreasonable or unfair. Unless, Hungary is not among to the civilized, industrialized nations that do things the right and proper way....

As you suggested the policy might be 'enlightened and eminently reasonable' you tell me.

Does the European Union determine your views on the matter - whatever they might be?

Hungry is kinda funny. They have right wing and far right wing lol.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
