The point hitler is taht we got to run away from europe and use all that is had built to steal a north america from the Indians. Beyond that is the fact that we used the Indians and European countries like France to run the british off in the first place. We didnt earn anything it was given to us.
What did they get for helping out the americans? The indians got their land taken from them and raped, and the Europeans got a military superpower unparralled in teh history of the earth that all must tiptoe around now.
This is americas impact on the world. We dont impact the suffering of the poor at all, in fact we contribute. America throws money at its problems and says "Gee i wonder why that didnt work?" A nation of self righteous fools is how we will be remembered. Do you want that?

The light bulb? The television? The telephone? The automobile? The airplane? The assembly line? The microchip? All becuase of Europe, huh?
What the real greed is, IS THE FUCKING CORRUPT MEXICAN GOVERNMENT OFFICALS!!!!
Why do you think that country is so poor?????????
I'm not taking sides on the issue of illegal immigrants, because I've never cared either way whether they are here or not. I'm pretty indifferent about the issue.
But I will point out that Mexico's poverty, and corresponding corruption, actually has quite a lot to do with the United States. Recall, for instance, the Mexican American War, in which the US the put pressure on Mexico to sell New Mexico and California to the US. When Mexico refused, Polk started sending troops into Mexico and building forts along the borders to try and bait Mexico into attacking. When they did, war was declared, which we won. After that New Mexico, California, and the Republic of Texas were annexed. Texas became a profitable slave state, and a couple of years ater the war was the California Gold Rush.
The US has been sitting atop Mexico for a long time. Don't think that it is any accident that we own the wealthiest land and they own the poorest. We took it from them (of course they took it from the Indians first).

i say boot em, or make em felons. then when we flood our jails with illegals or deport w/e, it might force a decriminalization of minor drugs 
then again, we should really get some more people in the govt immigration industry so these people who want to get in legally dont have to wait so bloody long.

Well that thread that Phred made about self loathing lefties... i think we found one.
This thread was hilarious though, thanks for the laughs.
On topic: I'm all for legal hard working immigrants but the illegals need to go. I just dont understand how "caring" people can support giving preferential treatment to disadvantaged mexicans simply because they share a border with us and its easier for them to sneak in.

Because everything you have earned in your entire life is a result of the good fortune of being born in a rich country. If you were born in the wrong parts of the Sudan, or Eritrea, or hell, even in the slums of Nairobi, you would be suffering in terrible poverty, no matter how hard you worked.
You owe other people because you were born into a position vastly, vastly better than that of most of the world's population through no effort or endeavour of your own.

Because somebody was born into unfortunate circumstances that means I am beholden to them? Should we be forced to engage in altruism against our wills? No thanks. If you want to give to charity go ahead (I do this myself), but the second you demand that I do something I will tell you to fuck off.

Blaze2 stated:DId you ever stop to think about the peices of those highly advanced peices of technology? Would anyone be able to make a TV without Glass? Metal working, airifoil(the shape of teh wing) was first drawn by Divinci, Everythign we have is built upon Europe. Reality is a bitch man.
This is almost as funny, as when I saw you get banned. American ingenuity cannot be discredited.

Your right, everything is our fault. Since you make such accurate historical references, why dont you blame Spain for what they did in colonial times? Here is a search tip: Pueblo Indians........
