I'd like to see it if he posts it.


btw.....I'm not saying immigration should be stopped, just controlled. AND since America is the "melting pot" the new (and includinng those arriving in the last 10-15 years) MUST meld into American society.

• LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH...it is THE language.
• UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CHRISTIAN BASED NATION (we allow other religions, but don't piss on our founding fathers faith and the faith that breeds our generous & caring nature. Without it we would have nuked your asses years ago!)
• Contribute to the country's well being. WORK. Contribute to society. PAY TAXES like we do.
• Don't bring you're whole freaking extended family so they can claim social security and welfare without having paid into it for decades like I have.
• Stop complaining. If your "mother land" was so great go back home. Stop trying to get us to cater to you.
• Stop waving the damn "insert country name here" Flag on your antenna, rear view mirror, etc. This is America. Be proud to be part of the greatist nation on earth not just be here to take handouts!
• Finally...I want a white middle class people parade. We have (in Chicago anyway) special parades for the Latinos, Irish, Black pride, gay Pride, etc.

Sorry....I'll get down from the soap box now...........:031:

Thanks!

I didn't mean to get all political...it kind of just hit me. Know what I mean?

generalizing in politics is dangerous.

i think you should realize that.

This is true. However my comments address concerns for a cohesive rather than a divisive society. Recent waves of immigrants have had a mindset of the latter rather than the former. The fact is this "mindset" is becoming increasingly common but certainly not all inclusive! Some still come here and appreciate the opportunity. They work hard to fit in and to make the most of opportunity. That, I can respect.

[Serum]

I wasn't able to filter that from your previous posts.

We have got issues here too with immigrants; we seem to have a good financial atmosphere, as well as the soft-drugs policies. some jump the opportunity to become well educated. I deeply respect that. Others don't and take the wrong turn. But most likely they where on the wrong track when they where in their own country as well.

Hard or impossible to judge IMO.

I think the entire world is changing and people are only taking care for themselves, and the tolerance is sinking away..

Last week i had two issues;

One of them was this; I had an appointment at two addresses, number 12 and number 14; Parked the car at number 12, and went to number 14.. Nobody answered the door, so i walked to the car to pick up my cellular; (in about 2 minutes of total time spent)

the guy of number 12 (being about 55-60 years old) came to the door and started shouting! Get the hell of my property!!!!, or I'll kick your car..!!! he shouted.. I was nailed to the ground, not knowing what to say.. i wasn't prepared for such an attack.. kind of surprised of his behavior, a few seconds later i pulled myself together. i asked him if he thought that he was acting in an appropriate/reasonable way. Somehow he was to dumb and hot headed, and repeated his fist words again, now with some more cursing added..

Needless to say i didn't visited him anymore.

I personally don't care what happened to him that day or in his life, My first reaction was; drop dead and F O..! but this probable makes me part of the change as well..

Tolerance.. That's what the problem is..

[Procharged5.0]

Perhaps.

My major beef is that people ONLY think of themselves and have no consideration for others. I believr that is the primary root of the evil. That and old fashioned greed.

Sidebar: US companies are selling off to foreign ownership with alarming frequency. Most recently GE sold of their polycarbonates/plastics division to of all groups, a middle eastern group. WTF were they thinking. Well probably they were thinking of ONLY the short term bottom line. That type of thinking here in the US is what will ultimately do us in.

My major problem with immigrants are those that come here and sponge off the system. Many drive much nicer vehicles and live in far better houses than I do, and I've been a part of the work force since I was 12 (first job was on a farm - the hardest and most physically demanding one to date). Everyone thinks they "deserve" gov't money not realizing (or maybe they do) that this money comes from the taxpayers. Too many people looking for a handout and the gov't gives it to them.

On a similar vein; it makes me very angry seeing people that make a career out of being on welfare/gov't aid and just spit out more and more kids so they keep getting benefits. And of course the kids don't see any of those benefits - they still run around in dirty rags. Arrrg!

And I agree about the lack of consideration of others. People are generally mean spirited IMO. It's rare to find someone who will lift a hand to help someone else. Just the other day, I drove up to a convenience store where a service guy was working on the outside ice freezer. He was trying to move it back into place and having a heck of a time. A bunch of people walked by and didn't even look at him. So, when I asked him if he could use a hand, he was almost too surprised to answer. And it only took like 10 seconds to do.

Just thinking about all this is making my blood pressure rise!

Anyway, rant over...

[Procharged5.0]

Brian,

Sorry to get your blood pressure up. The "heir of entitlement" attitude of the new immigrants boils my blood too!

anyway....go over to the "Optical Illusion" thread. Much more enjoyable! LOL!

I worked in a plastics factory for 15 years (sorry no rc stuff) and the last couple years there was an influx of hispanic Migratory workers with no english at all (owner was a successful businessman from atlanta) the last couple years it turned into a spanish channel because none of them could speak english. I was told they were setting up a spanish course for those of us who wanted it, I asked why they didn't offer an english course for those who needed it. I was told that would be discriminative, but it wasn't discriminative or insulting to dismiss my language( english ) in my country (america) . I told them they were wrong, it was probably the reason I don't work there anymore. Sorry i am a non-conformist, I have no problem with anyone wanting to live and work here, but please embrace the american way and speak english, at least to me, you can do whatever you want at home

[BrianG]

No, I think you are absolutely right. That would be like me going to Mexico and expecting everyone there to speak English. Sheer madness. My opinion is that this is America, and if you want to converse, speak the language or leave.

[jnev]

You are all saying the same thing, just in a different way, lol... and I don't know what way is the best. But I do completely agree with what you all are saying.
