All kidding aside: Give me some help here, Dopers. Has octopus ever posted anything intelligent in all his time here?

@Banquet_Bear

…the current administration has cut aide to the countries that need help with a “fundumental restructure.” Do you consider that a prudent move or a problematic one?

The current administration has dropped the number of refugees it will accept from 100,000 to 15,000. There are over 25.9 million refugees in the world, 3.5 million people are seeking asylum. Do you consider only accepting 15,000 people to be a noble and considerate ideal? Do you think you could do better, or is that a number you feel comfortable with?

@octopus

I think we can take in and assimilate more than 15,000. The US alone probably could, if fear mongering subsided, take in that 3.5 million.

@octopus

Banquet Bear has it right. Huey walked into a trap. When the usual gang piles on and it’s no secret that’s what they do and it’s many vs one, by the very nature of the fight the one is going to come across as unhinged and overly combative. It’s a nasty nasty tactic and I was surprised that that tactic worked outside the Pit; I am flabbergasted it worked in the Pit.

…I don’t agree with a lot of **octopus’s **politics, but I’ve never found him/her to be unreasonable in debate and able to be convinced with evidence to be able to change their position. And octopus, as well as asahi, supported me when I went out-to-bat for Huey. I’ll never forget that. That was a very, very rough time for me and both of them reached out privately and helped me through it and I’ll never ever forget that. I’ll always appreciate both of them no matter how annoying others may find them So the answer to your question is an unqualified “yes.”
