I live in north london im 15, and some things you hear are bad, but this happened a few years ago at a pub near me:

There was a young man (about 22) who was a student, he even went to church. At this pub he was just talking to friends, a group of young men were shining a lazer pen into his eye, so he asked them to stop, he than sat back down and forgot about them, when him and two friends left, they were attacked outside, just outside on a highstreet, his two friends got away, but the group caught him and beat him to death, on the street outside this pub. They brutally smashed his head in with baseball bats, my dad said he saw the abulance and police, the boy's head was covered with a clothe, he was brutally beaten to death, with baseball bats, he had is head smashed in (litterally), and for what, asking someone to stop shining a laser in his face. Scary thing is, after 8 years in prison, for some reason, they are out now!!!

illegal immmigrants are honest hard working people,,,they deserve thier human rights becuase they are great people,,blah blah

Ok

is there any single demographic that is across the board honest and good-willed and hard-working,,,ever

who started the rumor that illegals where these ultra-holy hard-working people, with ethics and morals and wrm goodness and

I remember when the stereotype was just the opposite,,,

even the illegals themselves are beleiving this , hence the arrogance

I know things like not paying taxes (then going to jail) is civil disobedience, but if you conmmit a crime and then run, is that civil disobedience too?

What about if you just express hate for the goverment/police (like cursing them)

example: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/2pac/outonbail.html

would that song considered to be one with a civil disobedience theme?

From what I understand, it can all be civil disobedience as long as you dont use violence..

Houston police trampled on striking janitors with horses last night. The janitors make on average $20 a day with no health insurance. That is frakking ridiculous. It is wrong. So, these workers protested peacefully for higher wages, and the Houston police department rode into the crowd with horses to intimidate and injure the workers.

It worked, as they arrested 44 workers and hurt 4 of them, including an 83 year old man. I don't care if you don't like unions. This is insane.

Because it's not "natural"? There are many, many examples of animals that show homosexual behavior. See the article in National Geographic;

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal.html

Because there's no procreation? So what? Irrelevant. Lots of heterosexual sex doesn't produce a child.

Because you find it disgusting? Who cares. That doesn't make it wrong. Lots of people find NASCAR racing disgusting too.

Who do you think you are to stand in judgment of other people?

This is the best letter I have read on this matter. I wish I would have written it myself !!! It represents my views EXACTLY !!!


Profiling? So What? From a pilot's point of view...

This is the most profound, most insightful message to Muslims I've seen. I think it should be read on Fox, sent to the President, and forwarded to any other form of media to express what so many of us feel toward the Muslims!
The paper stated today that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been checked three times while getting on an airplane.

(A Letter From An American Airlines Pilot)

This well spoken man, who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart beautifully....read, absorb and pass on....it's time to get answers from those who claim their terrorist members do not represent them..why are their leaders not LOUDLY AND FIERCELY AND CONTINUOUSLY condemning their visible murderous brethren.

YOU WORRY ME!
By American Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalc

"I've been trying to say this since 9-11 but you worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.

I notice you because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their grievances and hate but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.

On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers.

The Palestinians Celebrated, The Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.

How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim-Americans and the Arab/Muslims in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter these same good neighbors and children? The events of September 11th changed the answer. It is not my responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.

I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know whether or not you love America . Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car?

Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that He will protect and prosper it? Or do you pray that Allah with destroy it in one of your "Jihads"? Are you thankful for the freedom that only this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America ? If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.

Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America . Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent. No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more sympathy...I am only interested in action.

What will you do for America - our great countr y -- at this time of crisis, at this time of war?

I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets.
I want to hear you chanting "Allah Bless America " I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time, and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole. The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Hand them over to us, now! But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action.

Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisals.

The very few Arab/Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States proves who was responsible before taking action. They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing "leaders" like Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat.

If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for all people then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it if the teachings in the Koran are good and pure and true when your "leaders" are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance?

It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if large numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world. A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great Unit ed States of America, the country of their birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.

Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because our women proudly show their faces in public rather than cover up like a shameful whore? Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because we drink wine with dinner, or celebrate Christmas? Do you and you fellow Muslims hate us because we have befriended Israel , the ONLY FRIENDLY CIVILIZED SOCIETY in the Muslim/Arab area, that thinks and acts like most Americans.

And if you and your fellow Muslims hate us, then why in the world are you even here? Are you here to take our money? Are you here to undermine our peace and stability? Are you here to destroy us? If so, I want you to leave. I want you to go back to your desert sandpit where women are treated like rats and dogs. I want you to take your religion, your friends, and your family back to your Islamic extremists, and STAY THERE! We will NEVER give in to your influence, your retarded mentality, your twisted, violent, intolerant religion.

We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us: Our rights under the greatest constitution in the world. I want to know where every Arab/ Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to demand it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting the very institution that is protecting you and your family. I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American. But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand." "Until then .. you worry me."

I see a lot of arguments for illegals saying that they come for a better life and whatever other nice reason you can think of.
How sure are you that all illegals are just out for a better life? Explain for me then the large numbers of heinous criminals who are illegals, or how about those idiots in the protest marches shouting for a foreign country (Mexico) and denying/insulting the country they are in (USA)? Is this your vision of "illegals getting a better life"?

If you (like me) know that not all illegals are good people, how would you weed out the nice people (who I hope are the ones you want to support) from the scum? Are you psychic?, Have some new gadget for catching criminals that you'd want to sell?

If you are incapable of knowing who among the illegals is good and who is evil, are you still willing to risk allowing all illegals to remain and/or keep the borders open? Why/Why Not?
