Nobody complains about Indian and Chinese immigrants because:
1) They are hard working and intelligent
2) They are mostly law abiding
3) They come here, mostly, legally
4) They are a net benefit to American society


Mexicans fall back on the 'hardworking' cliche, but so are dairy cows and sheepdogs. Hardworking without brains or skill is useless. It's not the fact that they are Mexican, it's the fact that they are unskilled and are a tax on society (prisons, hospitals, schools). The mexicans overcrowd the hospitals where they are cared for ny indian and Chinese doctors.
Who would you rather have?

Some americans (mostly latin america) stick up or say what they believe in the case of ilegal people. White, even black people have voiced concerns over this issue as a blue star worker can hardly get a job anymore. There hardly the apple pickers anymore or the florda orange pickers anymore? Nobody seems to want to give lee way meaning come to grips with a common ground and pursue a happy america and happy immigrants even myself i admit totaly, but lets say we put it aside a minute how can our nations come to a better common ground? Meaning a better way to do this because this way isnt working and just letting who ever come in isnt going to work either. Provide a hint of rules or regulations that you would set up to inure that both parties are some what happy even if there not fully happy with it.

I used to spend a lot of time answering what I believed to be serious questions. A lot of them went to the vote, so I had my doubts whether the answers are even read. I now look up the askers history of questions before I even attempt to answer a question now. Does anyone else do this. In annoys me so much when people have got nothing better to do than waste peoples times with stupid questions. Some are very serious issues, eg, suicide, yet when you look up their history, you find that it couldnt be true. So where are these peoples ethics? Just for those who dont know how to do it. Click on the Askers name and their history will come up. Why do they do it?

I mean every racist, sexist, bigot and close minded individual I meet say they recognize themselves in whatever the Republican party stands for.... I may agree with some of the party's ideas but it's just hard to associate myself with the party's faces..
Anyone else feels that way?

So why do I exist and live? I asked myself that question, but could not find an answer. But I need those reasons while I am still alive, or it would be the same as me being dead. And this is what I concluded...I exist to kill everyone other than me. I finally found relief inside the fear of being killed at any time. By killing my assailents, I was able to recognize my reason to live.I fight only for myself, and only love myself. As long as I think that other people exist to make me feel that, the world is wonderful. As long as there are people to kill in this world to make me experience the joy of living, my existence will remain.

We Christians don't get in a hissy whenever Jesus or God is ridiculed. If we did, we'd be chopping off heads left and right. I think the world is too simpathetic to the Muslims. Not that we should be less simpathetic to them, but we should be more simpathetic to religions that DON'T blow people up.

And yes, I know that 99% of Muslims are not terrorists. But many of them don't seem to fond on punishing those who are. I am not racist towards Muslims, I just don't really see how someone could be peace-loving yet treat their women so badly.

This cartoon expresses it perfectly.

Which is worse in your opinion:

1. For a much older man to legally (where age of consent is 16) have anal sex with a 16 year old boy.

2. For a much older man to talk dirty to a 16 year old boy on a computer?

Follow up question(s):

If you answered 1, why aren't you all up in arms about the age of consent the liberal DC lawmakers have in place?

If you answered 2, how can you be so stupid?

I think the main reason that 3rd parties are getting such a low amount of votes is because people feel compelled to vote for the lesser of 2 evils...

Esspecially with the last 2 elections being so close. People Feel Compelled that voting against a cantidate is best done by voting for the guy that is in the other major party.

If more 3rd party cantidates were elected across the board then this would prevent the party line majority and bi-partisan in the House and Senate....

Take this quiz to see what political party you are...

The world would be a great place without Mcdonalds and all the other crap and unhealty things that came from America. We would not have to live in fear of a terrorist attack. And we could bow to the Communist goverment who freed us from the evil yanks.

Belize is the only Country south of our borders that the official language is English. They are only 25 years old and are an emerging Country. You would think more support would be offered. I moved there over two years ago and see it as a Country dedicated to literacy and growth in protecting one of the few last remaining natural paridises left. I know that Belize has not signed the Trade agreement with the US because it would obligated them to sell cheap to the US like all the other central American Countries? Personally, I aplaude that. Just makes good business sense. Or is it because it's a place some Trafficers use to bring contraban into mexico or the US? Why punish the people / the Rightful inheriters of Belize for any reasons of that sort? Some facts would be nice.

Let's call it what it is, so don't give me this b.s that they are taking your jobs and not paying taxes, the fact is that they came here and prosper faster than you and you can't take it, if they all go home you will still be a loser.
