This assertion was put forward by a person as an answer to another question, and I think it has merit. My own feeling is that, no, we wouldn't mind as much because the illegals would be less likely to be carrying leprosy, TB, Dengue, West Nile Virus, and other diseases being brought here by immigrants from tropical climates; and the British immigrants would probably be more well-educated and able to contribute as more than manual laborers.

But placing all that aside, the fact that the illegals from Britain would speak English and come form a much more similar culture would seem to me to make them far more easily assimilable as American citizens. The cultures of such countries as Mexico and Guatemala are an uneasy blend of Spanish and pre-Columbian cultures, and far more different from the culture of the US than is that of Britain. As recently as 1964, for example, a Mexican father sacrificed his first-born son to the rain god.

But what's your opinion?

I am trying to get more of a national feel for this. I have lived in Michigan My whole life, and I cannot stand the Pistons. I hated them when I was little and I still do. Six or seven years ago, all of my friends were "Laker fans" or "Spurs fans" or some other team. I was a Pacers fan..... and I still am even though they are a frickin' circus right now. So, when the Pistons started winning a few years ago.... I called my friends out on jumping on a bandwagon. In typical Detroit Sports fan response, they say "Dude, I've always loved the Pistons" (also see Tigers fan in 06). "How can you not like em' when you're from Michigan?" Well, I hate them anyway. I think they have been overrated, and I can't stand to go to a game because the trailor parks are empty for miles around. They are all at Pistons games. That's right, a bunch of White trash d-bags cheering on ghetto drug dealers (aka Rasheed Wallace). Tell me what you think.

It just dawned on me that a world with a salty ocean and non-salty inland lakes can never have been completely submerged in water, like the Genesis account tells us. In fact, the global flood hypothesis makes a testable, falsifiable prediction: the salt levels in all standing bodies of water should be similar. Here's why:

Imagine a world with a salty ocean and non-salty inland lakes. Now, the water rises to cover all land, which removes all boundaries between the bodies of water and connects them all. A fish, for instance, would be able to swim from any point on earth to any other. More to the point, any salt in the salty oceans would, by natural physical laws of diffusion, begin to spread into this world sea. In addition, thermal currents and other "mixing" effects would accelerate the process. 40 days and 40 nights would be plenty of time to gain an equilibrium - all salt levels would be the same, everywhere.

When the waters receded back, whatever was left behind, whether in the ocean or in the inland lakes, would be equally salty. Salt doesn't evaporate, so where is it? It isn't there. The global flood hypothesis is falsified. QED.

Why do you need to be rewarded for a life well-lived? Shouldn't that be a reward inof itself? And, likewise, why do you feel that sinners should be punished so badly? Do you really think a couple that had sex before marraige really deserves to burn for all eternity?

And, while we're on this route, why do some of you need a purpose so badly? Are you too lazy to make a purpose for yourself, that you have to have God make a purpose for you?

Why do some people feel the government owes them money for something? Far too many people are victims in life! Our government is going broke on paying people for everything they feel they are due, for example, Food stamps… HELLO, Of course it’s not a lot to live off of, it’s not to help you eat like a king, it’s to keep you from starving to death – get a job! People are entitled to what they earn, not to what they can sue for or con the government into giving them. If we elect Mrs. Clinton – National Healthcare will brake this country or turn us into Sweeden.

No Cocoa-Puffs or Cookie Crisp or any sugary crap like that...By healthy, I mean low in sugar, high in fiber, and whole grain.


Some of my favorites are Cracklin' Oat Bran, Nature Valley's new Oats and Honey, and Whole Grain Cheerios.

Those all provide a healthy start to your morning, and they are very tasty, too!

Ok me and my family have been arguing about something lately. My sister think that a cop (with out radar) can give a speeding ticket to someone that is driving by them. In my opinion a cop has to have proof that you were speeding before he can give you a ticket for it, but my sister says that he can just give you it. To me if a cop pulls you over for speeding and he has no proof that you were actually doing so all he can say is "it looked like you were speeding" than he cant give a ticket. Someone please help stop this family argument.
