Since the "Womens Lib" movement:
almost all families need 2 incomes to get by, not get ahead, just get by
almost all families are burried in credit card debt
homes being foreclosed on & bankruptcy arent even shocking anymore
kids are going to school and killing their teachers and other kids
kids are comitting crimes of violence, getting pregnant, have no or little respect for adults
fast food and take out are replacing pot roasts, pork chops and dinner at the family table
kids are more commonly overweight or obese (fast food)
parks are empty or sparsly visited
couples are not marrying, not staying together or divorcing in spite of having children together
abortion was supposed to liberate women and make "every child a wanted child" however, the rate of child abuse, neglect and molestation gets higher and higher
we dont appreciate neighbors, family, friends or our nation like we should
families dont pray or attend church like before
communities are not close now
thoughts?

I have been staying in Italy part of our so called COMMON MARKET, but have returned to the UK and am trying to claim Jobseekers allowance, it is being delayed because I have to put that I am returning into the country! I was born in the UK I have UK parents, I have worked most of my adult life in the UK, paid taxes etc and feel I am being treated worse than an illegal immigrant!

but that fear doesn't seem justified when it is obvious that the materials to make a dirty bomb, have already existed in both countries for some time. Isn't all this hype, the same sort of hype that took us all to war in Iraq?

given that the US' border with Mex is about 2000-mile long and the fence they're building is only about 700-mile long, are the minutemen going to hold hands across the remaining length of the border to seal the US off? It should work, seeing as the average weight of the minutemen is about 205lbs. Agreed?

I know that my parents needed to had to gain citizenship for me prior to returning to the states. I am in my 30s now and have been wanting to regain my german citizenship for a long while now but I am not sure if I am able to. I would love to move to Europe and have all of my rights as a EU citizen.

Does anyone know if I am still able to regain my citizenship?

seems to be the battle cry of a lot of people on this forum. Yet my observations have led me to believe otherwise. If Mexicans are not the problem, why are so many questions directed towards Mexicans? Why not always use the word illegal when a complaint about em arises? I just hope that when illegal immigration is reduced, we don't turn against those who are here legally or were born here yet have Hispanic roots. Peace sells.... Nobody is buying.

These people are able to work, and do jobs for cash. They collect a welfare check, food stamps, etc. Some have even bilked local churches out of charity money and food. One couple got divorced so they could get benefits. Of course they are still living in the same house. I don't understand why these liars and thieves are not prosecuted. Maybe because they are indigent, and it will cost the state more money. I just think that it is wrong that the rest of us working people have to put up with this. Knowing that a portion of our paychecks go to these thieves. Maybe I am just wasting my breath ranting about it. What can be done. I have mentioned it to the police and they act like I am just starting trouble.

you met me in the mall you would'nt even know because i speak proper english and i look like an average black woman. another thing that hurts me is how some folks talk about these poor children born of illegal alien parent's like my children who's father is a born american citizen and yet that still does'nt matter because here i am all the way in belize far from my babies whom i love dearly. Another thing is it's not that easy to get a green card so dont believe every thing you hear on tv i can't get a green card or so they tell me because my children's father has been to prison before so now what am i supposed to do i dont want my children to grow up here in belize because they deserve to have a good education and a better life thats there right as a us citizen so can some one come up with any ideas. to all you ignorant people how would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot???????
