How is that extreme and ignorant?

I said, your second post was watered down and explained properly. I said your first post was extreme and ignorant and said how. By saying some sort of complexity in immigration is needed expressedly for prevention of hal the planet having some fatal disease due to immigrating people was extreme and ignorant - you went on to explain that's not what you meant, fine, I didn't say those responses were extreme and ignorant. You agreeing that you went too far on that original statement shows that.

Well I'm sorry that I didn't write out every possible factor and every potentional problem that "some sort of complexity" could prevent. You're just looking into the post way too literally now. I already admitted that I had exaggerated the world-wide statement, even looking back on it, I agree that I had over-exaggerated that statement. The spreading of illness, minor to major, is a potential problem that could happen if some sort of complexity to immigration, like health checks, weren't present, happy?

You didn't need to write out every possible factor and potential problem, I'm pretty sure you'd be hard pressed to as most of us would without the most up to to date legislative literature (which seems to change in the blink of an eye lately). You also didn't need to put such extreme emphasis on an unliklihood (original post) if that was not even what you meant. I don't see how I was taking it too literally, when you put it so strongly and only put that. Just a little use of any reasonable language would have changed the whole nature of it and as you displayed in your second and now this response. Plus, you 'admitted exaggerating that statement' in this last post and made it sound like I was being pedantic afterwards, but I hadn't yet had the chance to even read you'd admitted anything!

I figured that most people would assume that "some sort of complexity" meant "Some things like...", but now I see I was wrong.

You mentioned what Ke had said in her post, and Randy had said something too, so I wanted to put some clarification on it all.

Um, I didn't. I said that she didn't say what you said she said and that she'd explained herself more then that, try saying that three times and fast
