The Right-Wing Disinformation Machine

All this has made me realize there's always cultural growing pains with immigration. For instance in the Detroit metro companies had to tell the Bengali workers to clean up the water that was splashed all over the place when they ritually washed themselves with the sink, and to stop standing on top of the toilets when they were s#!tting.  :lol:

But the companies also learned to provide prayer rooms and work to accommodate their needs while fasting during Ramadan. Everybody has to adjust.

Exactly. But, this has been happening ever since our country was founded. We have always had various immigrant groups moving in and that’s why we have grown and been a great country. Springfield has prospered because of them. Yes, theirs challenges. But….oh, I’m so sorry some people have to deal with people not like them. Go cry to the native Americans. 
 

And, sorry Republicans…It’s not going to change. Immigrants are going to keep coming.

A funning thing to quote but it is very real life.  Our manufacturing plant in Tulsa hosts customers from around the world.  We had this similar 'messy' experience - for the life of me, I could not figure out the standing on the toilets vs sitting :dunno   But you have to chalk it up to cultural differences.  In my global business class, which I taught as an adjunct professor, I spent a 4 hour segment just on all of these kinds of things.  What we might consider normal, is seen as weird by other cultures and visa versa.    Of course, Trump/Vance use our differences as a fear tactic to pit people against people and to encourage the feeble, unthinking masses to vote for them to save them from these horrible people of color.   

 
Counter argument. I trust Tom precisely because he doesn’t like Rich anyway and has no incentive to cover for him.

It sounded more like an M to me too than an N. We should simply point and laugh at Lowry for his terrible ideas and analysis, not pile on him for this if it’s not legit.

Free speech and all, but when does this cross into slander?  I mean he’s not voicing an opinion, he’s spewing bulls#!t he knows is untrue.   
 

I have experienced pain and suffering because of his bulls#!t.  Or maybe I just find this pain in the a$$ to be insufferable.  Same difference…
