" ... I suppose you're of the opinion that their being on the public dole doesn't deprive them of their humanity, though. I submit that my suggestion that they return to their country is learned, realistic, and compassionate. "

[ Oh, yes: much worse to be on welfare (and perhaps only for a while) than to be persecuted, terrorized, and possibly tortured or murdered. I certainly admire your "compassion" .... ]

Once again, the Somalis in Lewiston are refugees from Georgia's welfare rolls. They weren't being "persecuted,terrorized, and possibly murdered" in Atlanta. They were drawn to Lewiston by more generous welfare benefits. If I'm "mean" for not having compassion for parasites, that's just a shame. Cry me a river. I don't like shameless/prideless thieves. Do you?
