Mexico Not Happy

[Wadi66]

Perhaps I'm missing something but how did Mexico not being happy with us turn into an English lesson?

Count, as a TV producer you should think twice about arguing English with an English major. Likewise Redwinger would have to think twice about arguing TV production with you. Swallow the pride and move on.

Gentlemen, can we get back on the topic?

Well, Wadi, it started out as a statement about the topic, but when the reply was...

Your statements reek of syphilis.filth
and that it was fact because...

As a teacher I just state the facts
I pointed out that, as a teacher he should know that the statement could never be fact because it is based in opinion with a describing verb that can only describe concrete nouns when used as fact (i.e. that garbage pail reeks).

I've never tried to use my own credentials as evidence that I am right, as they cannot be proven.

that's what vieques and small islands in the south pacific are for.

edit: not to mention, if we tried to go militaristic on everybody, we'd find ourselves taken down pretty quickly. We may have the best military in the world, but its not good enough to fight the entire world.

Finally someone with some logic!

so i guess politicians can't be oozing with corruption, or words can't gush outta someone's mouth, or a river can't lazily meander through a valley, b/c that would be putting unlike terms together. Corruption can't ooze, words can't gush, a river is inanimate and can't be lazy or meander. No shit sherlock, but these words are used for EMPHASIS!!! Is this not a known technique? do you not know how to use the English language in creative ways to EMPHASIZE a point? it's ridiculous how you sidetrack conversations based on your opinion of correct word usage. Did you support CHI when he misunderstood the dictionary lead in "OFTEN CAPITALIZED" describing facisim meaning Facisim and not the economic structure of facism? I mean he completely missed the boat on that one and no liberal called him on it.

and no we're not gonna try to take over the world. Would it be nice to beat our obnoxious neighbors to the north and south like the immature children they are (uhoh, mex. and canadia (yes i know i spelled it canadia) aren't really children. my grammer / english is wrong), most definetly. a little corporal punishment now and again is good for character.

I never said I liked it, I just pointed out that that's how it's done. (in regards to bombing vieques and islands in the south pacific, I'm not sure if you were referring to that or to the "we can't take on the world" comment)

[riddle]

don't count on it. Considering we've had to run and save Europe's ass twice and everyone else had archaic armies from the Soviet era, I think we could take on everybody.


I agree. All those liberal countries would have less than a satisfactory army anyway. Besides we have nuclear weapons. Hypothetically we would win if we used them.

You may say that they would use nukes too, but then again why didn't communist Russia during the cold war do that? Because they knew that if they did it would turn into a nuclear holocaust that (because we have more) they could not win. That is why they have always backed down from us.

What I want to know is, where are all of the liberal human rights activists when it comes to the reason why Mexicans are crawling over that border? There's plenty to go around in Mexico, but they do not care about their own poor people, so they send them here for us to take care of. Should'nt the buck stop with the Mexican government instead of our own?

We're being invaded here in the southland. You can hardly go anywhere without encountering roving bands of illegals. I lived in San Diego almost my whole life, and have now moved just outside the city limits into a more conservative gated community, largely just to insulate myself against this sort of crap. I should'nt have had to do that, but honestly I just don't want to have to be surrounded by Mexican nationals who blatantly break our laws and a city that sucks up to them.

I will be giving no more money to the California Republican Party until this border is secure. It can be done, and I want no more excuses from our government.

How do you know who is illegal and who is not?

Thank God we dont have idiots running this country! Do you not think our enemies would use them? Do you think the Islamics would think twice about using one?

It is not just the Mexicans

A smuggling ring specializing in bringing Iranians into the U.S. over the Mexico border has been broken up in an FBI sting operation.

A 39-year-old Iranian with permanent legal residency status who is suspected of having smuggled 60 other Iranians into the U.S. was arrested Thursday in Mesa, Ariz., according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Yeah but everyone just screams about Mexicans! I am aware that Mexicans are not the only illegals here! There are people from all nationalities that are illegal. So why not go after them too? Im cool with closing the border!

Because Mexicans are far and away the largest group. We don't have businesses printing product descriptions in Farci and politicians pandering for the Iranian vote.

You asked TL how she knows that these people are illegals. The statistics tell us that there are 10's of millions of illegals, so therefore a basic understanding of statistical data reveals that it is highly probable to the point of being likely that these bands of roaming hispanics are illegal. HG, everyone knows that large groups of non-English speaking hispanics hanging around looking for work are illegals. It's common sense. You think like a typical liberal here when you deny the obvious.

[WhiteAfricanAmerican]

How do you know who is illegal and who is not?

It's called a GREEN CARD, you moron.

What percentage of illegals, do you suppose Mexican's make up?

50%, 80%???? How about 90%

Your ridiculous position demonstrates your ignorance.
