I never said everyone speaks only Spanish south of Houston, I said it is getting that way. Public schools still require English fortunately, until you get closer to the border. Assume less, it will work wonders for your small narrow mind. You think that I don't wonder how it would be living in a different area?? You also can't put yourself into someone else's position until you have experienced it... Here's a little lesson on Lifeboat ethics my friend. Think of each major wealthy nation as a lifeboat, each of these "lifeboats" already have say.. 20-30 people in them, and the limit is 40 before you start to sink. Every poor nation is considered a person drowning around these "lifeboats". We need to maintain a 10 person margin for error, or else we would risk being on the verge of sinking. This margin would consist of chances for high birth rates, low deaths, high unemployment, etc.. Everyone on the boat needs to ask themselves, how many people can we save before we drown as well?? Who should we let in, and who should we keep out?? It's funny because when you take one person on board, they then want to save all of their family and friends as well, or they start to see your point of view and want to save their own skin. If we continue to let these drowning people cling to us for help, they will only end up sinking us. Our "lifeboat" can only operate efficiently with so many people in it. An illegal immigrant/alien is simply a threat to our nation. Not only will their agenda to "Reqonquista"(Reconquer) Texas destroy the state I live in, they will end up dragging down the rest of America with them. Yea, a lot of people can say, "well put yourselves in their shoes and what would you do!?!?" Tell me Neurorad, would you give up your spot in this "lifeboat" for some complete stranger, or would you then calmly slide to the back of the boat and shut your mouth?? I highly doubt that self sacrifice is part of your mindset. We already have holes all in our boat, how much more do you think we can take?? We already give illegal immigrants free health care, they skip out on paying most taxes, and having to learn their language is a burden in itself. Illegal Immigrants are leaches and a drain on our country and society. It's not that LEGALLY immigrating somewhere is too hard, or impossible to do.. It's the fact that they can't/will not speak English, are too lazy to bother, or have a criminal record. Personally, I would rather live in Mexico and deal with MY OWN problems, than live in a little shack on the border of Mexico. They would rather run away from their problems than try to fix them, or they want someone else to fix their problems for them. It's ludicrous how they think this country is meant to help them, and meet their every want. Fuck them, they need to take care of their own country like we should be taking care of ours. -Nathan

It looks like it only ate half of the body, i can't find the head, and looks like there is a chicken in there as well from 2 days earlier.

And about that lifeboat. Seems to me that lifeboat is gigantic, with gold plating (and giant steamer trunks). My personal space on the lifeboat is huge; did you not get your latte this AM? Is that why you're grouchy? It's racist when you call a group of people lazy. Inability to learn English has many reasons. Illegal immigrants are poor, but calling them all of them lazy or criminals? Xenophobic trash. I don't advocate letting in whomever, just remember they are humans. Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy practice compassion. |

Us, English speaking Legal Immigrants, decedents of legal immigrants, citizens, tax payers. You know, the people that this country actually belongs to. I guess I will throw all of the slang in here that I want, since I am guessing you assume that I am using 'them' and 'us' because I am afraid of Hispanics on this forum or something?? I am using 'them' and 'us' because it is much faster than typing everything out, and sounds much better. Them, Illegal Immigrants/Aliens, Border jumpers, Leeches, Drains on society, etc.. Oh, and my Puerto Rican friend likes to call himself a "scratch back" jokingly, so I guess I will throw that in as well. No, I don't drink coffee and I am not rich. It's nice of you to assume so, however, I'm just middle class. Last time I checked an Illegal Immigrant wasn't a race. I also never called all Illegal Immigrants criminals, I said that is one of the few reasons to cross the border illegally, being too lazy to go through the process of Legal Immigration is another one. "Xenophobic Trash"??? Really?? Is what I am saying really that unreasonable?? Does it sound like I fear all that is foreign?? Do you see me talking about Asians, Germans, Irish, Indians, or any other ethnicities?? No, because they aren't a problem. For some ODD reason most Immigrants from these other nations have no problem learning English, and they take the time to go through the processes and adapt to our culture. For some ODD reason a majority of them aren't a drain on our society. I guess I could throw ignorant in there as well.. Me and my HISPANIC friend were talking about how he went to the border once to buy alcohol and was talking to some guy there.. He pretty much asked him why he doesn't invest his time in learning English.. The guy replied with "Why bother?? This is basically Mexico.. We are so close to the border that it shouldn't matter." There you have it, a large part of the mindset of Illegal Immigrants and a lot of Legal Immigrants for that matter. I was watching CSI the other night and some white detective on there was talking about how people should learn English, and he can't stand trying to communicate with someone that only speaks Spanish. Then the Hispanic detective jumps in and says "Why don't you learn Spanish then??", defending his race. Why doesn't he?? Because it is fucking America and English is the dominate language. People shouldn't have to learn your language and try to accommodate you. I also watched a broadcast of the candidacy in Spanish the other day.. I didn't know that Mexico was so interested in our election process?? Oh wait, I forgot that we have to accommodate for all of the Spanish speakers here in the U.S. that are refusing to learn English. Oh, but you do advocate letting in whomever.. Just as long as they are Hispanic and live south of the United States. You apparently think that Illegal Immigration is alright, and great for our country. No, I'm not racist and I could care less about skin color. If Mexico was comprised of white people that spoke Spanish, I would be having this same discussion, and my viewpoint would be the same. Same goes for any other group of people that are trying to take over a nation and ruin that nations way of living. Illegal Immigration from Canada isn't that big of an issue yet because the numbers aren't reaching epic proportions, and they also happen to speak English. -Nathan

Sorry, Expired, I meant prejudiced, not racist. You are prejudiced against illegal aliens. You are saying they are all bad people.
You are passionate about your cause. I assume that you are greatly affected, personally, by the presence of illegal aliens in Houston. Did you lose your job to one? Were you robbed? Did Fox run a special report on it recently? Did you get fired from your night minuteman job? Are the Jews, oops, I mean illegals, to blame for all your worries and sorrows? Go round up all the illegals and put them in a ghetto to start with. That'll straighten everything out. [uptight white guy Eddie Murphy voice here] "But my friend's hispanic, so I can tell wetback jokes. He. He. He." Why do I feel like I'm arguing with a Houston Archie Bunker(*), over something so stupid? Take the anger and bigotry and hatred down a notch. The talk on here about killing illegal immigrants = Nazi Germany. I'd like to teach you a lesson in being prejudiced by insulting some aspect of your location (perhaps a sweeping generalization about Houstons) and then asking how that makes you feel, but I don't have time now, and I refuse to stoop to that level. *Edit - Archie Bunker was a character in the 70's TV sitcom show All in the Family. He was a bigot you were allowed to laugh at, because he always got the short end of the stick. His prejudices were rooted in ignorance. Sorry, it was on TV before you were born.
