Greater Miami Shores wrote:NS Batman, and all persons are welcomed to share and discus their views, I support an agricultural guest workers program with Mexico and perhaps other nations. I have one on my real world based nation of Greater Miami Shores. They all have the work law rights all legal citizens have, and when the contract ends they all return to their nations of origin, including kids born in Greater Miami Shores, I think we can call agree on this? I know US immigration laws and the constitution are different or might be different. But I think we can all agree my ideas are logical?

I think most Republicans or all Republicans would strongly agree with my ideas, based on conversations with my family, friends, Republicans at Republican Party meetings, and Republicans at right wing news sites I post on from time to time, we also post to leftists in American terms, and they post back to us. I am usually or always very civil and respectful to all posters on and off NS.

Thank You.

Unfortunately from what I recall various Republican presidents have reduced the number of Visas available for those who do that type of seasonal work

I see your point. But we need to contact the farmers and ranchers and see how many agricultural guest workers they need and for how long, if they need them temporarily or permanently and adjust our agricultural and guest workers visas to the time needed.

I know all nations have other type of guest workers as well.

I just thought about it because of your post, and now it is part of the laws of my real world based nation of Greater Miami Shores. I am an RP addict with real world based nations, real world statics as much as possible., with real world leaders and VIPs, with Pics.

Contrary to popular belief based on my experience it is actually not easy, hard or very hard to find real world statistics, depending on which statistics you are looking for, but I am very picky on the details of these statistics.

Contrary to popular belief by my many of my fellow posters, I have posted many detailed posts on all my views on all issues over my 10 years on NS.

Have you had a chance to see my real long post to you about my religious views on the, USA, Cuba, Fidel, Raúl and my Family in Cuba I posted to you, if you wish to share any comments with me on it at any time, it would be cool? Peace over and out unless we continue this chat.

Contrary to popular opinion by certain fellow posters, I am a nice guy Dude, despite my strong support of Republican President Trump and the Republicans as a Republican, who strongly agrees with them on most issues, as I posted a 34 point post that needs some editing and additions.

I am not a role play RPer, I am political post RPer, my specialty, but I have done a few limited role play RPs, that I think I did good or ok on. I hate war RPs, but I once did a guerilla war RP that came out excellent, :) yeah right lol, :) But I got a few ideas from Fidel in my own words, way and style.

I would make a great Minister of Foreign Diplomatic Relations. I wish I could be Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, as the Minister of my nation is called, in my real world based nation of Greater Miami Shores, my specialty.

My English is not perfect, many times I have to look up online the meanings of certain words, terms and abbreviations they post to me. But I think they can understand my English, since they read my posts and post back to me, I think the jokes about my English are just excuses to disagree with me and whatever.

Granted my grammar structure is bad, I generally speaking don't know a noun, a pronoun, verb or predicate or whatever from one another. I just think, write and type the best way I think it sounds to me.

I love math, statistics, facts and figures, history, geography and biographies, by geography I mean, facts and figures and statistics of real world nations, I guess, my specialties, I pride myself on.

I don't stick any persons on ignore for any reasons, it is on my sig, and I am very proud of it, but I am not the only one on NS.

Peace over and out unless we continue to chat for now.

Thank you.

I strongly agree with you, The American public cares more about sports than politics, usually men or man, lol :) care more about sports than Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving, we need to stop the practice of sport games during thanksgiving and all holidays. I don't care about any sports and don't follow any sports.

1 - Who agrees and who disagrees, add comments? I agree for the reasons I stated above on my post.

Thank you all.

Yes, our system wasn't and still isn't designed for everyone to vote much less be fully educated. The United States was mostly designed to increase profit for the already wealthy.

Post updated on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 to add more election law points as stated below, election law point 06 added.

I kind of strongly agree with you on your second point to an extent, because our system is designed to be able to create wealth for any persons who can do so with their talents, skills and hard work.

I strongly disagree with you on your first point, our system is currently designed for everyone to vote that wishes to vote. But we need mandatory voting IDs with Pics for all legal citizens. If you need to charge the costs for them charge for them.

Who agrees and who disagrees, add comments? I agree for the reasons stated below. All these election laws are on my real world based nation of Greater Miami Shores as written and typed, :) lol. I think we can all agree many or all of my election law points sound logical, but we can still disagree on them, and share our views and opinions on them?

Election Law Points, who agrees and disagrees, please add your view, opinions and comments, you may if you wish make it one post divided into paragraphs with their numbers to make it easier to read and understand, not posting your comments under each point.

I think most Republicans would strongly agree with me on these election laws points.

01 - We need mandatory voting IDs with Pics for all legal citizens. If you need to charge the costs for them charge for them.

02 - No same day voter registration, no 3 days voter registration.
We will provide enough time to register to vote before the election day and night and to receive and count all ballots.

03 - Mail in ballots only for medical excuses and handy capped persons, the virus crisis is not an excuse. They can wear masks and social distance as much as possible, I am aware of the potential problem of long lines, we need to provide for this.

04 - When you vote you vote, you changed your mind to bad to late. If you say you made an error, I might be willing to allow you to revote, but you could be lying because you changed your mind. Certain US states allow persons to change their minds and votes.

05 - No provisional ballots, temporary ballots and whatever, only one type of ballot, the ballot. The more different kinds of ballots you have the greater chance of vote fraud, the greater chance of mistakes and errors on the ballots and counting the ballots properly, less work, stress and headaches for the poll workers.

06 - Possible Political compromise, the ballot with its number is traced, located and amended by the voter and subtracted, added, counted and recorded by the Poll workers.

07 - The overseas government and military forces can vote from their diplomatic and military bases. The ballots are sent to their own states and whatever kind of districts needed.

08 - The overseas citizens can vote at government embassies and consulates, the ballots are sent to their own states and whatever kind of districts needed.

09 - When a mail in ballot is received it is counted on the spot and recorded. I have heard this is the law in Florida, but I don't know if it is true or not or I am not sure?

10 - You may mark all of the above based candidates for different political offices, based on your political party, this is not done in Florida, it is done in Chicago where I used to live a few times, :) lol.

11 - or you may vote for the candidates of different political parties.

12 - With early voting, all mail in ballots must be received and counted before election day and night. We will provide enough time to vote before the election day and night to receive and count all ballots.

13 - The mail in ballots are counted and recorded first on election day and night.

If I think of more election law points I will edit it on this post, if I can find it over thousands 1000s of posts and many threads, :) lol. or the thread might be locked by the time I think of them, :) lol again.

However your system was designed, that's not how your system works now. You have something most of the Founding Fathers despised, something from Old England. You have a system where the single biggest factor in becoming rich and successful, is the wealth of your parents. You have an aristocracy.

Yes. We have the same problem in Australia: our politicians tend to be posh. Not necessarily born rich, but they are almost always of above-average birth and well-educated.

This is why everyone should be able to go to college. Who you know, matters more than what you know!

Ok, can we just take a minute to talk about how under representative the State Legislature of California is? In a state where the population is 40 million, the lower house only has 80 seats. EIGHTY! This means that around 33 lower houses are larger than California's! Including New Hampshire, which has the largest lower house out of any state, 400 seats! If we take a look at Canada, a country with around the same population as California, their lower house has 338 seats! I mean yes, it is a state and state legislatures are generally smaller, but this is insane! The number of seats in California's lower house should at least be 200, if not more.

Real easy for me Dude, since I am a Republican and I assume you mean the Democrat bad guy I know all these bad things about, I would vote for the Republican bat guy I know all those bad things about, :) lol.

But seriously speaking, most of the Republicans I know are the good guys I know, so I have to vote for them, but we do have certain Republican Traitors we cant vote for.

Great pitch! I cannot help but agree. They should expand to at least 400!

American democracy sucks ass.


Two-party sucks ass. But America does have charming factionalism, within each major party.

How about, break the Congressional rules that every representative (Rep or Congr) has an equal vote. Representatives elected with 80% of the vote, would have 0.8 votes in the chamber. While those barely elected would have 0.49 votes. At the very least, this would cause some fiery primary challenges in the safe districts or states!

If we take a look at Canada, a country with around the same population as California, their lower house has 338 seats! I mean yes, it is a state and state legislatures are generally smaller, but this is insane! The number of seats in California's lower house should at least be 200, if not more.


I think we've found our new political consultant to fill in the role of alien space bats who traveled back to planet X after the midterms of 2018 or whenever they up and left.

When more than one person accuses someone of sexual assault, it's often because they're actually a predator.
