Not at all unusual in my neck of the woods where a $650k home is not upscale. Graduate from a top notch HS with an AP course grade of 3.9, get 1500 plus on the SATS and colleges will throw money at you.
I think I did, sorry.
Huh? "Problem"? What?
Strange that Catholics don't blow themselves up on buses full of passengers yelling 'Hail Mary'
Interesting that Catholics don't fly airliners into skyscrapers.
I really don't get Catholics! They refuse to blow up churches or synagogues and kill Christians and Jews...
What is it with the Catholics?
No problem at all. I should have been more clear.
A $600,000 house isn't upscale where you live? What constitutes upscale there?
I think they will convert - to conservatism, like many Freepers did when we saw the folly of our liberal ways. When the shadow of Islam looms over their heads, when they hear the call of the Imam above their cities, they will finally see the damage wrought by their mindless anti-Westernism. The best of them will repent.
More than 500 years after the fact and the Muzzies are still pissed aff about it. Where is the problem?
The problem being illegal immigrants, the majority who are Hispanic, and the "reconquista."
Again, I don't have a problem with Hispanics in general, just illegal immigrants. I mistakenly categorized all Hispanics as being illegal immigrants.
Well, Euroweenies, get busy!
Or did ya' need some help?
I'll take the cuties from 19 to 29.
Anyone else want to join in?
I guess we better start stockpiling ICBMs with a range of about ummmm... 6400 miles?
Expecting them to change if we are nice to them is folly. It's when we started being nice to them, after 1,000 years of conflict, that they started taking over. I'm afraid there is only one alternative to their victory. I won't say it here...if you can't guess, ask a Hindu or Chinese friend.
Yes, though I'm not as optimistic as you are.
I think its far more likely that the women of Islam will (rightfully) see how they are being subjugated and (unwisely) overdo it, embracing the freedoms that the west offers and enjoy careers and disposable incomes, brief sexual flings and affairs with hunky men, etc.
The Muslim male will the be sissified much as the western male has been. This will probably send the most radical of the 'I AM A MAN' Muslim men off the deep end, though most will just go along, again, just like the western male did.
Indeed, I think this has not been explored fully in the media - I think one of the driving forces of anti americanism in the mid east has to do with our culture. The males of that regions, who have largely subjugated their wives and daughters, are in mortal fear of the spread of western culture.
To them, it is an almost unspreakable horror that their brides and daughters, in their 1/2 t-shirts, exposed bellies, and low rider jeans, answer the door for the hunky UPS guy and let their more base instincts take over.
Now, we know that while this stuff happens, its an exageration. But the muslim male doesn't know that. For them, the West's liberalism (not political liberalism) threatens their stranglehold on their women. They know that if their culture meets our culture, ours wins, because it emphasizes instant gratification in the name of freedom, fantasy sexual activity without consequences, etc.
After WW1, a popular american song asked 'How are you going to keep the boys down on the farm, once they have seen old Paree (Paris)?
The question in their minds, I suspect, is how are they going to keep their women down once they get wise to the fact that they don't have to be subjugated by their men, the choice is theirs, and especially when they have gotten a piece of the (largely mythical) hunky, studly sex-on-the fly UPS guy?
The Muslim male is (rightfully) concerned that the little lady won't be jumping back int that burka when she realizes she should show off her pretty legs, and she won't be jumping back in bed with Abdul when she has been ravished by the excesses of western culture.
This is going to be good....

We live in the NW corner of Nassau County on Long Island. There is a fifty year old two bedroom, one bath wreck three blocks away that is on the market for $659k. Someone will buy it for $625k then drop another buck into it replacing bathroom and kitchen, etc. That is how it is here. The surrounding towns to the north start at seven figures.

They do. Watch what their kids accomplish.
It was also predicted that Jews will be the minority ethnic group in Israel within 20 years. They will be outnumbered by Christian Arabs and Muslims. The average Jewish family size in Isreal is 1.9 children whereas Muslim families have 5.5 children. (Is it any wonder that these mothers who are "proud " of their suicide-bomber children have 9 more at home?)
I'm with you. Most hispanics I meet are ALWAYS courteous, friendly and helpful.
They are a great people.
Studies I've seen indicate that the muslim squatters in EU will not marry a woman who has lived in the west. They will go home to find a bride with the right attitude. Educated, working, semi-westernized muslim women may be our secret weapon.
