[quote="Aerdan";p="665636"] Every single country on this planet has immigration laws. ... It'd be a security nightmare and blur the lines between countries[/quote] Yeah, open immigration between member states of the EU is simply tearing those countries apart. :roll: I think we'd ...

What about all men being endowed with certain unalienable rights, one of which being the pursuit of happiness? Should trying to make a better life for you and yours be a crime? That is not what this country was founded on. She did break the law, but again, if the only laws she broke were the ones de...

But the son is an American citizen since he was born in the US. An "anchor baby" if you must. Why should they deport him? And if the mother's only violations have been out of survival in a system created by a broken immigration policy, then is she really the villain here? An otherwise lawf...

Always have to get the last word, eh Deacon? You say drop it, but still manage to get your shot in about me shutting out reason. :? Actually I'm a big fan of reason and political correctness. If bigotry is the alternative to being a square, I'm fine with being the square. Lose the intolerant attitud...

Re: Illegal Immigrant hiding out in church

Exactly! It is a SLUR that is used against a particular ETHNIC group, specifically those south of the border. Thanks for clearing it up Bigs. I'm actually quite comfortable calling people like Deacon racist and ignorant. If that puts me in the "small minds" group, I'm very certain I am in ...

Re: Illegal Immigrant hiding out in church

No Deac. I got your point loud and clear. Lash out as much as you want, but that analogy was spot on, nearly identical to what you wrote about "wetbacks." You may be interested in the textbook definition of the term, as it is, and I quote, "offensive slang term for a person of Mexican...

Yes Deacon, I have the same problem. Some of the mods have a problem with me using the term "nigger" because they think it is a racial slur. Let me assure you that it is not. I'm not referring to all black people when I use it. I'm just talking about the drug dealing gang bangers that are ...

I STILL love how there are studies around linking homophobia to physical changes in the brain, and yet nobody dares say that it might be a disorder like ADD or depression. Stupid political correctedness. It's a good thing I'm never going to be a politician; I've claimed that homophobia is probably a...

Uhm no... http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2005/09/1719105.php

And way to do exactly what I predicted...ignore every point of Bush slashing funds, and jump to defend against the "Bush is racist" attack.

Way to miss the whole point entirely. :roll:

Racism is at the Heart of the Katrina Disaster by Joel Wendland Saturday, Sep. 03, 2005 at 12:02 PM So is racism the motivation that drove Bush to target the city’s anti-flooding projects for funding cuts in order to pay for his tax cuts for the rich and h...
