Relax you survived Bush 8 years. Be careful with depression and negative information, you seem very tense.

Making some assumptions about Sarah's age, there. =^[.]^=

Ummm, excuse me. BIGOTS but you can't just assume someones age. Just because someone has been on this earth a certain number of years does NOT mean that is the age they identify as. Crawl back to 4chan!

Would be sad to hear that Sarah is older than 20 tho.

I'm guessing that Sarah actually identifies as a 154 year old Wooden Ship from the United States Civil War years.

I identify as a 2016 Nissan Altima Coupe with bucket seats.

I identify as a rutabaga. I'm conflicted what to do now because I'm staring at stew with rutabaga in it.

RAWR! I want to stew you with my Guacamol

Meanwhile, Mexico doesn't want to accept its citizens back when the US expels them for being in the country illegally.

So, it's horrible that the US refuses to accept a criminal alien presence, but Mexico is cool to refuse to take them back?

But it's not gonna work out so well for Mexico:

What no one noticed yet was Trump administration immediately postponed the release of the new immigration policy executive order (until next week). Remember, part of President Trump’s expressed policy outline was an immigration rule that explicitly invalidates any reciprocity Visa process from any nation that does not accept repatriation of it’s own citizens.

The ‘repatriation-tied-to-visa-program’ principle, was generally directed toward nations like Yemen, Somalia (or any others) etc. who are part of the larger immigration policy, and who have refused to accept the return of their own criminal citizens.

However, if Mexico also takes themselves into this tenuous position then Mexico could also lose non-restrictive travel authority into the United States; and simultaneously blow up the former NAFTA agreement which is their only lifeline toward any semblance of economic leverage.

If Mexico refuses repatriation of illegal Mexican aliens from the U.S., the larger Mexican population could lose their ability to travel legally into the U.S.

Some people do honestly identify differently than they are perceived. Mocking them for this is sad. Just because we may not understand someone else, it doesn't make it right to think negatively of them if they aren't harming or advocating harm to others.

The lack of exposure to, or understanding of people who are different from what we know is one of the ways discrimination starts and spreads. There's a wealth of info out there for people who are interested in learning more. I've found the following site is a good starting point for the general topic

i think i can make a little obviously hyperbolic joke toward a user who called me mentally ill and told me to "seek mental help" in a very serious and hateful manner a few pages back

I totally agree with what you say but here's my two cent. I grew up being epileptic, and from the age of 10 I started being heavily medicamented. Wasn't easy all day, still not easy after all those years. I can say it even became worse in the last few years.

Humor and making fun of myself and my sickness helped me. My brothers calls me the defective child of the family with the fucked up brain. It sound pretty harsh maybe but, for me it just help a lot making the problem way less heavy than it is.

I tend to approach most of these very complicated problem with humor, and I know many human being are doing the same thing.

Later on I had a friend who was very afraid of coming out of the closet. We at one point started poking fun at him. Not in a mean way. But making fun of his homosexuality made him realize quickly that, we treated him no differently because he was our friend. We were still joking around with him treating him exactly like every other friends we had.

I could put up more example but I would just end repeating myself. Poking fun and teasing each other is part of any friendship. Not poking fun at someone because you're afraid of hurting him is treating that person differently. And most of the time, all of us we just want to be treated like every single normal being.

Poking fun at people and teasing them is not a mark of disrespect, it's not a lack of understanding it's mostly a mark of affection. I think there's a false missconception in current society, a sort of narrative that we shouldn't joke about these things and I disagree with that. Humor is good, free and it brings us together, it bind us trought our differences.
