Nothin' remains quite the same.....
No, but given the rate that we are being invaded over our southern border, every day there is a better and better chance they are.
What on earth are you talking about? I only did two things wrong that I can see. I didn't capitalize Hispanics and I used their instead of they are (they're).
I have no need to have a chip on my shoulder. I'm white/american/middle america. Perhaps your refering to another poster.
I just think this idea of blaming the ills of humanity on a race is the most ignorant thing, I or billions of people throughout history have had to listen to. Let alone feel the brunt of. Coming up a close second is blaming the actions of a small fraction individuals on a race as a whole. That was the intention of my post, to relate that white america has little to boast about if we're using a world view as I mentioned above.
This same ignorance is what lets us send cubans back to cuba because their "immigrants", and lets us forget that their fleeing a dictator and a country where they and their children have no hope. I think its stupid that I can hardly do any work and have a full plate at every meal, and they can't even get a chance to try. I'm not a socialist, I don't think my money should go to raise these people up. However, I think they aught to have the chance to pull themselves up by themselves. I hate it when people act like this is just a game. People die, and people starve, and its not a game. Turning back people fleeing from an oppressive government borders on our not helping the jews during the holocost in my mind. We don't really believe that life can be as bad as they say it is, so we can its okay,
(sarcasm) I mean they're just "immigrants" right. They'll be a burden to our healthcare system. They obviously won't get a job and work for their living, and if they do they'd probably work for less than I would and we can't have that. And if they didn't whine and complain about not getting their break, then the economy would crumble from the lack of purchase of jelly rolls, and pepsi. So can't you see the evil of allowing people willing to travel from cuba to america in bathtubs to stay here. I mean they aren't playing by the rules of the game. (/sarcasm)
Maybe I do have a chip on my shoulder, but its their because I can't for the life of me figure out what I can do about this. Its cause I feel helpless while other people suffer.

You mean "your", not you're, right?? Sheesh, even a silly Hispanic knows that. Who'd have thought? Some advice... do a spell and grammar check when you play spelling/grammar police.
honey, anyways is NOT a word, leave the s off the end........
And if you need further instruction please let me know, for a Russian immigrant's grandchild, I speak the language fairly well........
