Well, then, I'm assuming that you, like most of us, must avoid the immigration threads, because it's rampant on those.
I don't participate on immigration threads anymore because I find the discussion unproductive at a certain point. I have my views about immigration most are decidedly anti-illegal immigration. However, I see the political climate for what it is and that is that there's not much I can do about it. I avoid most all threads about Africa now, even if it's about South Africa my favorite place to talk about. These days I'm avoiding most all threads having to do with Hurricane Katrina,etc. and any thread Mike might have posted in the b/c ping list. I'm so over talking about race on FR. I rather discuss more productive things like Beyonce's cellulite.
