    By all means, explain the difference between the first 700 and next 200. Clearly there must be a massive difference to make the addition to the existing barrier "immoral". I'm all ears.

    It's been pointed out to you by many other posters already. You've ignored it then. It's already been done.

    So, in short, you can't explain. Gotcha.

    I kind of assumed you wouldn't be able to, but I felt it was only fair to allow you the opportunity anyway.

    Again, you are making up an argument nobody but you has said. Like I mentioned in my first post. It has been explained to you. The fact that you for whatever reason don't get that isn't the same as people not being able to explain it. Feel free to re-read the clear explanations that have been presented to you.

    If you can't, or won't explain yourself, I can't take you seriously. You've spent more time coming up with excuses for why you can't or won't explain why the 200 mile extension is "immoral" and the current 700 mile barrier is not than it would have taken you to just explain why you think that is.....that is if you even had an answer to that question at all.

    Given your failure or inability to explain yourself, I have to dismiss your objection to my initial statement and conclude this side conversation with you. Better luck next time.

    Bobby: So nobody can tell me what is equal to 4?
    Poster A: 2+2 = 4
    Poster B: 6-2 = 4
    Poster C: 5-1 = 4 and 3+1= 4
    Bobby: So just as I suspected, nobody can give me a clear indication of what is equal to 4. Well, I thought it was only fair to give you a chance to explain what is equal to 4, but I didn't expect anyone to actually be able to answer the question.

    You don't further the conversation by continuing to fail to explain yourself or by coming up with excuses for why you shouldn't have to. If you want the conversation to proceed, then you will do so.

    Again, I know you haven't thought things out well enough to explain yourself and that's why you are putting on this show, you know that's why you are doing it, EVERYONE knows that's why you are doing it. So just stop derailing the conversation with this BS if you want what is best for the board like you claim.

    Honest to god, he looks eerily like the face pic (hat tip, @Jugdish) Costanza swaps out in his boss's family photo.

    LOL by all means, you just keep proving my point. This entire tantrum you've thrown could have been avoided if you were actually capable of defending your stance on the issue. You weren't, so you've been doing nothing but trolling the thread ever since.

    Either way, keep it up if you like, but you'll be doing nothing but making yourself look bad. This kind of ridiculous response to merely being asked to explain your position suggests that you don't have any intention of discussing issues intelligently so you'll understand if I have a hard time taking you seriously.

    It has been explained to you. Like I said, you either ignored it or didn't understand it. That is very different than people not answering you.

    No, it really hasn't. Again, I know this is just a tactic to hide the fact that you have no explanation so just stop wasting everyone's time. Either give your explanation or don't bother responding because all you'll get after this is gifs. I'm done being patient with you.

    Anyway, back to talking about what this thread is actually about, the deal proposed seems like a more than fair compromise, it'll pass the Senate, but will Pelosi decide to keep the government shut down due to her Trump Derangement Syndrome? My guess is that she will be unwilling to accept the deal and open things back up, or even engage in negotiations but I guess we'll see what happens. She might even try to skip the country again just to avoid having to do her job.

    I do not know who you are replying to, since there are some here that I ignore. Whoever it is appears to be intellectually challenged. You might want to ignore him as well.

    I agree, ignoring the person in question makes the site far more enjoyable, which I had forgotten until recently putting him back on ignore. You should try it @FranchiseBlade . Hell everyone should try it.

    I would support everyone who can't handle opposing views without throwing a tantrum do exactly that. If you ignore enough people, you'll get your echo chamber that you want and you won't pollute otherwise productive conversations with nonsense tantrums about people daring to have a different opinion than the one you were given in your talking points.

    You guys know who you are.
