    We managed to wipe them out in North America and much of Central America decades ago.

    So are you gonna start requiring immigrants be vaccinated prior to entry, and by extension be in actual control OF immigration?

    Right. :bailey:

    Except that screwworms have been migrating northward for years and it was things like USAID that helped us keep it out of the US.

    This should be good… why don’t you tell us how requiring screwworm vaccinations for all visitors will work. Start with how many people won’t be able to enter the country as a result of requiring screwworm vaccinations.

    What do you mean by "work?" Some ridiculous "100% effective, or it merits no consideration" standard? :brood:

    It would have prevented it in THIS case, which was obviously the point.

    And gun control would have prevented who knows how many deaths.
    But gun control is a nonstarter for you.
    As is wearing masks in a pandemic.
    But as long as it allows you to make things more difficult for "the other", you're on board 100%.

    :sigh:

    And here we go with the derailing attempts when he can't address the topic at hand.

    And ALLOWED for who knows how many others. Hypotheticals cut both ways.

    Punishing innocents for the actions of the guilty will always be a non-starter for me.

    Go fuck yourself with your petty little lies. I wore your precious goddamned face diapers everywhere it was required.

    And you still bitch about having to do it.
    So you're okay with forcing "the other" to do things you wouldn't willingly do.
    Period.

    And by the way, you are right about one thing: Hypotheticals go both ways.
    Meaning you are 100% okay with thousands of school kids being dead, injured, and traumatized so long as the occasional homeowner can shoot an unarmed robber from the closet she's hiding in.
    Because you are a selfish person who only cares about what benefits him.

    Fun Fact: Our last two board members who made a Bible out of Ayn Rand's "The Virtue Of Selfishness" one, Storm, turned into a Nazi, and the other, Elwood, became a Christian fundie of a fire-and-brimstone church founded in the 19th century.

    Long way of me getting to: part of me wishes UA would read it to have better defenses of being a selfish pig than "because fuck you, that's why! :shakefist:" but given the track record, we're probably better off with regular meathead-Albert.

    No, I am not ok with school shootings, and I would do more than you to prevent them.

    Meanwhile, you are busy sucking the cocks of those poor, misunderstood fucking BURGLARS. It is undeniable where your bias lies at this point.

    I don't need to justify my refusal to participate, because I have committed no offense. You must justify imposing anything on such individuals.

    Again, proof? Proof of bias?
    I mean, I know you'll claim scientific evidence backing up my assertions as bias, but I mean real evidence.
    And it's funny, we don't have to turn our schools into fortresses, but you're rather do that than emulate the solutions of other countries that have been proven to work.
    I know where your priority lies. I guess, by your standards, that would mean you are *checks notes* "sucking the cocks of those poor, misunderstood mass shooters".

    I suppose that’s true in a very general sense. At the same time, that policy would end 100% of legal immigration and tourism.

    To spell it out even further, there is no screwworm vaccine.

    There is presumably a test or examination. SOME kind of screening or oversight. Not to mention all the vaccinations that DO exist. If it's important enough to shove at me just so I can fucking go to work, it's important enough to be a prerequisite of entry into the country. But that's if the goal is meant to be a practical one, and not a moral superiority pose.

    What, exactly, do you know about what requirements there are for people entering this country?
    Or are you just blowing smoke out your ass yet again?

    Edit: I know this is pearls before swine, but try reading before you post you moron.

    I know you must know WHO is entering your country before you can determine what kind of funk they bring along, if you care at all, which I don't.
