You're just upset because you're scared. Scared that uneducated dumb white males will have no job opportunities if Mexican citizens are made legal.
Uneducated white males have no opportunities regardless...  |
Mexicans citizens can already be made legal you silly sardine!
I think that people are mad that they can now come here and work without becoming citizens.

| Quote | In either case, what should have happened is that if the people did not like their situation then rise up and change it! I don't care about the conditions of your homeland. It's called a Civil War. Try getting your hands dirty for what you believe in!
We simply should have armed the Iraqi population (in the far north and south) who hated Saddam to begin with and let them take care of their own problems. Same with Mexico, if they don't like the way things are done there, then by all means they could change it. Instead we spend billions taking care of problems that others were too lazy to take care of themselves! |
I couldn't have said it any better.
One added note here, while unemployment is still considered high and jobs are paying so crappy that many have to take two or more of them just to survive, then what makes anyone think that flooding the market with more employees is going to do some good? Especially flooding a market with employees willing to work for extremely low wages.
Minnow, you constantly throw out the argument that competition among retail is ultimately best for the consumer, but if you look at this argument with the same view, wouldn't that mean the only winners from an overly abundant low-wage immigrant workforce would be business? After all, competition drives down prices, and in this case it would be wages.
Unless things change to where any person who wants a decent paying job can find one, where do you think this economy is ultimately going to end up?

On the statement by Goodyear Pimp. That's a good plan, if its possible, thats what the C.I.A. did in Afganistan, but it wasn't possible in Iraq. They approached it like that at first, but it wouldn't work. I can understand people being against the war in Iraq, but I think if we're going to support the people to take back their country, we have to see it thru, even if that means useing our military to do it. Otherwise, we'd be setting them up for failure.

We must stay in Iraq to finish what we hopefully started. That is to give the people of Iraq a chance to become part of the world, not as we know it, but to become their own part of the world. We went to Iraq because we knew we could send a dedicated professional armed force that would succeed in reaching Bagdad in a few short weeks. Now the real task of letting those people become themselves is at hand. I don't think we took back their country for them, but rather found a disorganized people, governed by a brutal regime that we could easily defeat. We need to start somewhere to let the terrorist world know that we will not sit back and let them continue the way that they have been doing things for the last 20+ years (i. e. Beirut-1982). Giving the Iraqis an opportunity to show that they can improve their lot, when they are in the center of the arab world, is of the utmost importance. Only then will the Bin-Laden ideals be crushed.

You honestly don't really have a clue do you?
There's no way out of this mess without losing face or becoming an occupying force. They only want to be liberated from us.
Don't you see? They're brothers...they may fight amongst themselves for power, but they'll BOTH fight us to get the hell out!
This war was a very serious error. It's like some kids threw a brick through our windshield, so we scope the neighborhood in a rage looking for the culprits and when we can't find them, we take it out on someone who looks like them and made us mad 12 years ago....
A very dumb reaction egged on by diliberate lies. But I remained strong. I kept my head above the crowd and realized the WMD hype. Needless to say I was CRUCIFIED by this crowd as unpatriotic. Now you all can see who was the TRUE patriot afterall. Because I loved my country the most, I could see through the BS.

I don't give a rip if Saddam had nuclear plungers, for Allah's sake!
You may disagree, mr. fish, but I firmly believe that if we do this Iraq thing the right way, we will give the Arabs an example of how they can truly become a part of the rest of the world, and not just a gas station.
India has the same religious beliefs, and they are a big part of this world.
If we can help the iraqis make something they are proud of, the rest of the Arabs will take a look.
Libya sure woke up in a big hurry after we said no to Saddam (even if he didn't have WMD's), and Libya has the nuclear plungers, don't they?
Of course I respect you opinion---so respect mine.

---->I mean what does that gibberish even mean? It's nonsense.
We didn't do anything except feed the war machine and spend ourselves silly. We've shown ourselves to be dumb and reactionary. We lost 3500 lives in NYC, then gave ourselves a 500 life chaser. 500...that's the number of lives we've wasted chasing a nonexistent boogie man.
Pssst...over here...Saddam didn't do 9/11.

Minnow, maybe you just do not like your U.S. freedom! Why don't you just move somewhere else like France. I think you could easily be taken up by and eaten up by the frogs. No pun intended! You dickhead! Your crying about 500 dead for the sake of freedom, which is not a lot considering we lost an average of about 100 soldiers per week for seven straight years during Vietnam. Over 58 thousand Americans lost their lives and over $150 billion was spent during Vietnam, so Minnow's fat ass can be free to say what he wants and do what he wants, so if you do not like it then move out of the country dickhead! You just do not appreciate what the armed forces of the United States of America does for you each and every day!
