Well, yeah. You know. Shit happens. The problem is society, not
criminals. It's all about racism and antisemitism. It's about
homophobia and reaching under a stall and being misunderstood.. It's
about the poor being abused and "immigrants" being discriminated
against. It's about crime caused by citizens having "easy access" to
guns and taxes caused by the other party. People aren't responsible
for events. It's just the times we live in, right?

Unless you already have a history of such behavior. Suddenly, it's not
"misunderstood".

So then you support raising taxes, unbalanced budgets, federal
restrictions on gun ownership, congressional pay raises, government-
paid junkets, increasing the power of the executive branch, the
Patriot Act, and the Iraq War?

Those who oppose all of these things should vote for Paul. Those
who oppose even MOST of those things should vote for Paul.

Naturally, the fact that the "illegal" immigrants you speak of are all
brown Mexicans somehow doesn't bear scrutiny. Like the elephant in the
living room.

Thus far, the only screamers I ever hear are those pushing the issue on
TV, radio and Usenet.

You and the mouse in your pocket? Or do you have some kind of
organization?

Including the United States. Just because your impulses aren't being

What hope? Look closely at the EU and see how well they control *their*
borders. Look at Pakistan, Iraq; Iraq and Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

What countries are you talking about who control their borders so well?

In fact, the *only* nations in the world who control their borders the
way you want are the ones with the iron-fisted despots in charge, who
control their borders as much to imprison their own as to keep others
out. If that's the kind of nation you want the US to become, expect a
little resistance.

I wouldn't know about that, I don't live there. If it is true (and as I
said previously, I don't trust any of the information given on this
issue), then it seems highly ironic given Mexico's puny desirability as
an immigration destination and their corrupt infrastructure.

I don't know anyone who is amazed by it except for those who can't see
past their noses, but then they are the ones who are amazed when they
walk into lamp posts, too. If you admitted you don't like brown people,
I would be much more inclined to hear you out before dismissing you out
of hand.

> Well, that and the fact that they BROKE THE LAW.

So did the numerous people driving 90 on my local freeway yesterday.
Does that make them illegal drivers? Each of those individual speeders
presented a greater and more immediate risk than practically any
undocumented foreigner. The economic result of their behavior is clearly
recorded by numerous sources. Where is the outcry for enforcement? Where
is the outrage over the needless costs to society? Oh, right. Most of
them are middle class, if not white, and bad driving is not likely to
ever become a populist issue sufficient to win elections.

Wow, you sure nailed me. You are as perceptive in your personal
apprehension as in your political view.

Too damn late, Thanny. Anyway, in five minutes this'll be all about
Mexicans again.

That will probably be perceived as a racist lie.
Don't expect people who can't see past complexion to believe you.

My wife just told me a neighbor's house is for sale. He was an
illegal from Poland, his wife left him and went back there, and
reported him to the ICE. He was deported to Poland.
Good for ICE. None in this thread will complain about me saying that,
of course.
After all, he has the right complexion to qualify for deportation.
Having grown up and worked with people of many ethnicities, including
Mexican-Americans, I've got a good nose for racism and prejudice.
Those looking at this as a "racial" issue instead of a
border/economics issue, and accusing others of racism pretty well
reveal their hearts; only blatant racists. latent racists, or those
guilt-ridden about race and who can not see beyond race constantly
dwell on race, or invoke race when it suits their paranoia.
Those throwing down the race card in this thread are mostly sadly
reminiscent of those well-off socialites Tom Wolfe wrote about in
Radical Chic, who when entertaining the Black Panthers
dismissed the black help for the night and hired white looking Latinos
to serve the canapes.
Of course the penurious sods here just want Mexicans to cheaply mow
their damn lawns. They're too fucking white to do that themselves.
And these cheap asses call others racists just to justify continued
neat lawns and low strawberry prices! Pure dittybags.
And then there are those race-to-the-bottom free market capitalist
scum who are too busy thinking of how to score an extra buck to even
bother with race. GWB and Chambers of Commerce fit in well here.
BTW, I've seen figures that about half of Mexican-Americans oppose
illegal immigration. God damn racists.

Given tha they vastly outnumber illegal white Canadians, why shouldn't
the talk about them be greater?

Given the conditions in several Central and South American countries,
Mexico is practially a paradise.

OK! Let's do it! Well, the ICC will drag him, Cheney, Rumsfeld and
Gonzales off to trials for their War Crimes sooner or later. So in a
sense, I'm just waiting to break out the beer and popcorn and get
ready for the inevitable drinking game.

It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.

Let's have a little backstory on this, eh? With more than just a
self-serving anecdote, maybe there will be protests over his treatment.

You know, OTOH, if he was a guard at Buchenwald, Stuthoff or Auschwitz,
then no, you will not likely hear anyone defend him.

Glad something cheered you up, anyway.

Here's something else to cheer you up: when Mexican immigrants are
reported to ICE, they are usually sent back too. The mexicans even have
a name for it: la migra.

There now. Isn't that just great to know how egalitarian are our laws
regarding immigration? And here you thought immigration was only good
for ad hominem arguments, insulting, cursing and wishing ill on your
fellow citizens with opinions different and perhaps more informed than
you. Wouldn't it be great if you could deport them, too? Maybe someone
will write a law. Maybe Tancredo.

I mean, why is it illegal? Other than paying taxes and alleging some
oath which means diddly anyway, what's the difference?

The real reason I wrote the paragraph above was to provide a bit
of historical perspective perspective, not to explain why cancels
don't work.

Probably so. Google, at least, honors cancels that originate
with Google's Usenet interface.

Ah yes, quite so.

As Seen On OPRAH & 20/20 - TURN $6 into $24600

Earnmoney using PAYPAL

1) An email address
2) A PayPal account
3) $6.00

THIS IS A 2007, CURRENT EMAIL LIST
I decided to give this one a shot...
Especially since the so called "risk" is only $6.00. Anyway, only
hours after implementing this exact system I about fell out of my
chair
asmoneyACTUALLY started
rolling in. I couldn't believe it.

This system is THE legit and profitable one. Here is how it works...
There is a list of 6 email addresses. When someone new
comes along he/she removes #1 off of the list, moves
the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5,
#5
to #4, etc.),and places their PayPal email address in the #6
position.

Honesty and Integrity creates Profitability. Following
this EXACT process is what creates themoney. Altering the system
creates weak
of course
creating a mailing list, and a "service" is being provided
Now on to how your $6.00 creates BIGmoney...

INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:
The first thing to do is highlight and SAVE this entire post on your
computer so you
can come back to it later.
After that, if you are not already a PayPal user you need to go to
the
PayPal website at https://www.paypal.com... and SIGN UP.
If you want to be able to receive credit card payments from other
people
then you will need to sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not
just a
PERSONAL
account).
In order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will
have to verify your bank account with PAYPAL. and is used STEP 2:
Here is where the action occurs. The first thing to do is to send a
$1.00 payment to each of the 6 email addresses on the current list
from
your PayPal account. To do this follow these simple steps:

1. Login to PayPal and click on the "SendMoney" tab near the top of
the
screen
2. In the "Recipient's Email" field enter the email address
3. In the "Amount" field enter "1" (This is your $1.00 payment)
4. In the "Category" field select "Service" (Keeping it legal)
5. In the "Subject" field type "EMAIL LIST", and in the "NOTE" field
enter "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST". By doing this, you are
creating a service
and maintaining the legality of the system by "paying" for the
service.
6. Finally, click on the "Continue" button to complete the payment.
Repeat these steps for each of the 6 email addresses. That's it!
Here
is the current
e-mail list:

*************************************************

1) smudger@hotmail.co.uk
2) gregory8@yahoo.com
3) ca595@wcupa.edu
4) rose@adelphia.net
5) davincifan@gmail.com
6) getagripp@hotmail.com
************************************************

STEP 2:
Now take the #1 email off of the list that you see above (from your
saved file), move the other addresses up and add YOUR email address
(the one used for your PayPal account) as number 6 on the list.
This is the only part of the document that should be changed.

STEP 3:
Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or message
boards. I've began to see money roll in before I even hit 100 posts,
but try to hit around 200 to allow maximum exposure.
I'm not going to say this is going to make everyone over $800,000,
but within a few WEEKS you begin to see results, thanks to the speed
of the internet!
Follow the system as described, and enjoy your PROFITS!!!
REMEMBER... HONESTY AND INTEGRITY = PROFITABILITY
Good luck!

easy money just follow the directions

TURN $6 INTO THOUSANDS AS SEEN ON OPRAH...HERE'S HOW....

Note from PayPal:

I have been ordering from checks in the mail for years. Pretty reasonable
prices, depending on what you want on the checks. But I haven't had to
order checks in 2 years because most of my bills are paid online now. And
my debit card at wally world and the grocery store.
