Remove the stinking illegals and you will find persons willing to pick
the crops. Just as we
did in WW2 with millions in uniforms. Eliminating the social costs of
these invaders would
more than compensate for any brief inconvenience.

Teehee. Yeah. I saw something a few months ago in which the reporter
spoke to a strawberry farmer who had been in the business for more than
25 years. When he was asked if he felt bad "stealing" jobs from
Americans by using illegal immigrants, he said that he had never ever
had an American come to him looking for a job.

The crew then went to a local town and asked some of the locals why they
wouldn't pick strawberries and they all agreed that it doesn't pay
enough...saying they'd have to be paid $1000 a week to pick them!!!

Now, imagine what strawberries would cost with Americans picking them.
(And of course, it doesn't just apply to strawberries).

So, they have a choice. Tolerate the illegals or pay the price.

Simple.

Keep all that in mind next Nov when you stand in line to choose the next

Second, its not *your* republic.

Couldn't help but notice you didn't mention anything at all about the people
that steal the money in the first place and give it to the so called
*illegals*.

No one would buy them of course and the business would fail and thats a
lesson contained in basic Economics 101.

Wrong again, some problems fix themselves. One obvious example of that
is people having too many kids. Thats fixes itself in all modern first world
countrys without any public policy, let alone actually defining the problem.

There's nothing "so-called" about them. They broke the law to come here.
Their continued presence is a violation of law. That makes them illegal.

It's amazing that with attitudes like this it's the folks who favor
secure borders that are routinely branded as racist.

You're apparently arguing that the status quo must be maintained: that
there needs to be a permanent underclass populated by some group--
whether it's illegals or American citizens-- that is perpetually
exploited and paid less than the law requires, otherwise our economy
cannot survive. And since American citizens will always have the option
of reporting any attempts to undercut the minimum wage laws to the
authorities, it necessarily falls on the shoulders of the illegal "brown
people" to fill this essential niche in our society. After all if
illegals are working jobs for less than minimum wage, it's *because*
they are illegal and the employers know they have no recourse-- if they
complain to the authorities, they'll get deported so they have to just
shut up and take whatever is handed to them.

Who's the racist again?

Pity about those who arent that silly who keep only the useful free stuff.

Yes, to add a little bit of information, NNTP, which is
the protocol used by Usenet, allows for "cancel" messages
which have a higher priority than normal messages.
Thus in the early days when propagation could take
days (weeks, where Usenet was propagated by magnetic
tape) the 'cancels' would catch up with and overtake the
messages being canceled. These days normal propagation
is so fast that probably most articles are fully distributed before
the cancels catch up (Just my guess). If so, then
most people will have a chance to see the article at
least for a short time before it disappears from their
server.

Like a lot of things on the internet, it is apparently trivial for
people smarter than I to forge cancels. As noted above,
for that reason, may servers will not forward cancels at
all.

IOW, when I asked "Do other people get better results"
and you ansewered "Yep". You meant "Yep--by using
ROXIO instead." Hopefully I've got it in two.

The real reason that cancels dont work is because most news servers
dont honor cancels anymore, because they are so often done maliciously.

Most in fact continue to be available for as long
as they would have if a cancel was not issued at all.

And dont honor cancels that they receive either.

You had already mentioned Roxio yourself, so it wasnt obvious
that you meant just DVDFlick in that particular question.

You did.

Doesnt apply in this case.

It's not just that cancel messages aren't forwarded, it's that they
aren't acted on when they are received.
