    Dunno about taking down the whole statue but at least take down that poem about the huddled masses causes it’s false advertising.

          Immigration is never a crime, because immigration is done through established channels.

          Maybe your right though and we should stop calling people who violate international borders or break the law by violating visas illegal immigrants, because that is a politically correct term.

          I know you are actually arguing against the existence of countries in favor of a single planet spanning global commune, I just couldn’t resist.

            We could also just have countries without controlled borders. Border control and citizenship are very new concepts. And they suck.

              I have never heard someone call all of recorded human history relatively recent outside of paleontologists or geologists.

                Sure, because you’d realize the developed world’s wealth comes from exploitation and that you don’t actually want to give it back

      It swam here dummy. Everyone knows lady liberty is the first mecha ever made. That’s why it turned green, from all the seaweed it had to eat.

        I have it on good authority that she is fueled by ghost boogers and Jackie Wilson songs, and she’s controlled with an NES Advantage joystick. There was a documentary.

      That’s the real question: what the hell technology were these ancient peoples using to be able to assemble something as complex as the Statue of Liberty? You might not like the answers the science points to, but it’s hard to rule out aliens.

    I mean if you had paid attention you’d know that the Statue of Liberty has only ever been filled with ghost slime.
