Message | So foreign countries can waltz in, take our national right to sovereignty, and set-up shop? No background check whether they are friendly or hostile to us? No oversight as to what their intents of being grounded here are, or who they assign to the embassies? Why have a country at all? Just let other nations say what we can or can't do. National safety is not a priority; we'll just give anyone who harms us free college and that'll fix everything. The victimized can subsidize the terrorists. |

Message | We are talking about emebassies here, we don't pay for them you know, not the other guys' embassies. Every nation has the right to put their views, and then we can make better decisions. The MLP s paranoia is duely noted, but not understood. |

Message | It's not a matter of pay. It's a matter of national security and maintaining our sovereignty. Paranoid? What an easy cop-out generalization. We want embassies here, we just want OUR government to have oversight over whether a friendly nation or not can set-up shop here. Of course, why would I expect oversight from the FSDP? Spending other people's money like water and letting other nations push us around seems to be your collectivist mantra. Gee, I'm glad your at the helm of this nation now. Less take-home pay, more citizens feeling entitled falsely, and giving our ability to govern ourselves over to internationalists. Socialism rules, right? |

Message | Agsin, maybe I must spell it, how does embassies threaten our security? It gives other nations the change to state their case, and hear ours. It builds bridges, and gives usto opertunity to turn enemies into friends. We care about the security of thes great, finally free, country, and that is why embasies should be allowed. They've been here so far, and not problems! |
