While there are some predatory plants and even some parasitic plants, they get the bulk of their nutrition from chemicals and sunlight, not other living thing's. There's no reason not to call a herbivore anither type of predator. If you're going to entertain the meaning if predator at all you really have to redefine it; otherwise it's really kind of vague.

Repoman05: The point is to counteract all modes of smuggling not just your favorite rhetoric of the week. A wall helps with that.
Simple logic will tell you that if U.S. customs and drug enforcement agencies have certified that 90% of all illegal drugs coming across the Southern U.S. Border have come through legal ports of entry, then spending billions of dollars rebuilding and extending the wall would not be the most cost effective means to stop the flow of drug traffic. Further, intelligence from arrested Mexican smugglers and law enforcement partners shows that drug cartels clearly prefer moving high-profit narcotics through the busy ports of entry because their chances of success are much better there.
Nonsense, on top of the fact the smuggling over the open border does in fact take place there's also the fact the people themselves make both a domestic consumer for the illegal substances they're also very very often assistant smugglers that relay the narcotics later on even if transported through a crossing. When you're fighting a war you don't just fight one type of troop armed with one type of weapon. Having the strategically placed laser turrets also helps take down low flying smugglers like Jeff.

Poppies themselves can be considered a predatory plant. How sad is it that people fall victim to it? There are poppies alive today that have killed people today.

It kills you by changing your mind for you. It benefits from your death by cultivating people to take care of it and to help it kill you.

Heroin producers say we should curb heroin dependence by eliminating a market for it. Heroin makes its own market. This is proven by the heap of politicians that always have a statistical fallacy to pin the problem on a different mode of smuggling whenever anyone attempts a fix to any given one of them.

Maybe most of the heroin comes through the crossings, maybe that's even true, where does the bulk of the invading army come from?

Every step you take is important to reach your goal, not just the last one.

I'm listing the opponents of wall building as enemy combatants; the proof I cite is their never ending tide of lies, damned lies, and nonsense.

You are missing the point, Repo.

Consider the different kinds of relationships:

- competition, when two or more organisms rely on the same environmental resource
- predation, one animal feeding on another
- symbiosis, close relationship of two dissimilar organisms
- mutualism, symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit
- commensalism, a symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and one does not benefit but is unharmed
- parasitism, a symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and one is harmed.

To start, if the people could see Trump's tax they would better be able to weigh up his contribution to society. Alas, his "charitable" foundation turned out to be dirty - shock, horror.

Tired rhetoric.

And

I don't intend to pursue a metaphor based on a subjective pseudo science like zoology, any further.

I do however have more to say about domestic enemy combatants.

Sanctuary cities,
When you facilitate irresponsibility you create a life style that's subject to exploitation.

Catholicism is intentionally irresponsible in regards to procreation for the purpose of adding bastards to the folds of their army's. It's the way they've been since Rome. They opposed contraceptives, they oppose abortion, they oppose tampons even. They do a lot to conceal their irresponsibility by claiming superiority on the topic while they stab you in the back before you can remedy anything in the smallest ways. Their nations are hopelessly overpopulated cesspools complete with heinously corrupt overseers based around nepotism and racism.

How can you call upon others to facilitate that kind of thing? Either by direct funding or by legalising a supportive ponzi scam?

After that, when help is so racistly/religious-selectivly distributed to only hispanic catholics(and it often is) and otherwise exploited in an already bloated Enron budget, how can you expect responsible people to overlook what's going on?

More people equal more seats. Municipalities, counties, and states all benefit from illegals like a neo-Tammany hall marked by unchecked corruption. Meanwhile, they ask everyone else to pay for the consequences of inviting a Catholic pederast heroin cartel entrenched in a 200year invasion plan.

You are engaging in what psychologists call "projection". All of the unbalanced rhetoric has come from you, not me.

I appreciate that's it's a common method in today's bare knuckle approach to debate, but I see it as an admission of defeat. If one cannot be effective in honest debate, then such games are played.

But when you look at his 'actual' words and actions (not the media spin and interpretations, i.e. propaganda), he seems to be a pretty nice guy with good intentions for our country. In fact, I quite admire his fight against the never-ending 24/7 nasty attacks against him and his family.

My opinion is that most Trump haters are the gullible victims of their own propaganda. They have been blindly taught to hate, and are so consumed with this hate that they are unable to see their own hypocrisy (of hypocritically preaching non-hate).

...and please don't (hypocritically!) "hate" on me for my opinion!
Spot on RJG. The liberal media, aka the propaganda deptartment of the Democratic party, consistantly spread hate and division. They make no effort to be fair with the news, always presenting their biased opinions as fact.
Putin is loving our media, they are doing far more damage to America than anything he did.
Trump is a genius, and a great man. I'm amazed by his energy. He was already rich and famous, he didn't need any of this, but he wanted to repair America. The left doesn't get this, they think he's motivated by money, even though he gives all of his pay to charity.
Shouldn't people have at least a minimum level of intelligence to vote?

Perhaps because it conflicts with the "science" of the Bible?
