General Chat / Obama Elected President

I still don't get the limited immigrant thing. Could someone explain why we need it?

And Kevin, how could Marx be the devil incarnate? Yeah, he was wrong, but he wasn't evil. I mean, extreme forms of capitalism don't work either.

kevin enns is merely ignorant of the legal process behind immigration, that's why he's saying "oh everything would be fine if they came legally".

It's restricted by their own government, kevin. That's why. They want to come over legally, but CAN'T. Please try to grasp that it's a far more complex issue than your current understanding allows.

If I have to explain why, then you obviously don't know economics all that well either.

I would like to cast my vote for Chuck Baldwin.



























































To be publicly hanged.

Fair enough, but it's not OUR job to clean up THEIR's government's shittiness. Honestly.

...But it's our job to clean up Iraq?

Right.

u guys where talking bout immagration & i wanted to bring somthing up
wy do stores (arc,goodwill,wallmart)have english & spanish on there signs? people should know english when they move here right, if i move to germany im gonna lern german, not put in a vote to the goverment to put english AND german signs every where

marsh, I am REALLY liking everything you say today. Holy fuck! Another one!

And, are you serious? You guys have Spanish everywhere now? That's bullshit! I have to put up with fucking French sometimes, but we're an officially billingual country due to some bullshit, the Quebectards were going to break off a while back but for some reason all the Anglophones protested and by like 1% the Quebecs voted to stay in Canada. Too bad.

Anyways, yeah, your German analogy was incredible.

Seems to me, most of the Americans I know that are pissed about bilengual packaging are Americans that don't know two languages.

Don't be lazy.

im not talking about pakeging, that gets shipped to all diff. contries so thats ok, im talking about in stores here, on all the signs it has Spanis&English, EX:
children says ninos under it,
men, Hombres,
women..., bla bla bla

and Kevin/ yes, here in CO Springs its al like that, and the futher south u go, the worst it gets

MA, I draw the line when street signs are in kanji.

I can't very well phone someone directions to a place if the signs are in a language so different I have no way of audibly illustrating it to the person on the other end.

Fast food chains with all their menus in korean?

Ya see MA, it's not a matter of "not knowing a second language", it's that people come to this country to both live in it, and piss on it. Many asians who immigrate to the US are very disrespectful of the culture and like to form their own little shell communities where nothing at all is written in english. They basically said "fuck you" to our culture and set up an outpost of their own fucking country IN ours. Then they communally legislate really bogus shit that divides cities. Look what happened to places like cerritos...

And kevin, it's not about cleaning up their mess, but their mess is affecting us and those are fucking PEOPLE, so no we shouldn't just fucking throw them all out on the street back in mexico. That's almost as bad as when the US threw all those japanese in desert camps during WWII. It's a knee-jerk immature reaction with deep consequences you obviously are NOT fathoming.

If I have to explain why, then you obviously don't know economics all that well either.

Thank you.

As annoying as it can get, I find the reverse even worse. There are people trying to ban St. Patrick's Day, Chinese New Year, ect.

blitz for once I 110% agree, nothing is worse than foreginers coming and still doing everything the same. Muslims are the worst for this, but to all cultures: If the Homeland was so great, then why'd you move, fucker?

Lolwut?

I live in an area with a surprisingly high number of Muslims. You wouldn't know it unless you've been here a while. Same for Slavs/assorted Eastern Europeans. The only other culture that's had a distinct impact here is Hispanic... and considering they make up nearly 50% of the local population (upwards of 60-70% in the city), that's to be expected.

So what? They're proud of their culture. People don't emigrate based on that. They emigrate because the government sucks, or the economy sucks.

If you want to ban CNY, or SPD, then you have to ban Christmas and Easter as well. In an extreme example, I find the worship of Jesus Christ on Dec. 25 to be offensive to my beliefs. (Really, as an athiest, I have nothing against X-mas. I just don't see it as Jesus' birthday. I see it as a time for family to celebrate togetherness. Santa/Father X-mas > Jesus)

If you're going to ban one culture's celebration because it offends people, then you have to ban all cultural celebrations because they all offend people to some extent. It's one of those things that has to be all or nothing. You can't have both.

And Kevin, IMO, Chuck Baldwin is worse than McCain. I'd vote McCain before I'd vote Baldwin (Or Baldweiner, as I like to call him. )

That is a disgusting thing to say.

We speak English.

We?

You're not part of us.

Is this directed at me? Because I never said I wanted to ban these holidays, I said people who do are worse than the people who start Chinatowns.
