Study your own immigration laws before you argue any more!
You want racism?
I worked many times side by side with Arabs in the UAE. I also have worked in Israel. Now forget race, how about we settle on pure hatred the type of which I have never seen anywhere.
As I already said, I don't care if he complains about his country's immigration policy. Does it escape your attention that the "group of people" who are trashing his native homeland were of a particular race? Do you think his comments about Arabs are flattering? I find them insulting.
Let's face it, as long as we want cheap food, our lawn cut, our cars parked, our brats cared for, etc. etc. immigrants will continue to be welcomed, even as the gripe about their presents.
The fact that you find his comments insulting is not my problem. I found his comments understandable from my perspective. His focus was on Arabs because that is where he sees the problem. Right or wrong in your opinion, he has a right to complain.
You seem to have a thing about produce don't you?
cheap food is an oxymoron in the US
Overall I see you race baiting and playing a race card where it doesn't in my opinion belong.
What I said, was that in my opinion when people choose (there is a choice here) to enter and reside in another country they should learn the language. I stand by that and don't care about veggies. I also don't have issues with or expect cheap veggies.
Let's face it your are speaking for yourself because you sure as hell aren't speaking for me. My lawn is cut by the guy up the street who started a lawn care business years ago. I don't want cheap food as I want good food and good nad cheap food is an oxymoron in the US. I park my own truck and as to my brats? They are grown with brats of their own. Though I prefer the word "children". However if brats trips your trigger, then use it to describe children.
I didn't say I was speaking for you or me. I cut my own grass and I don't have any brats. I don't care who cuts your grass, but the fact is many americans take advantage of those services. If you dont', then great, but you miss the point. I'm not surprised.
Look we obviously don't share any common political ground so let's just drop it. I see your views and just don't agree with them. Sitting here exchanging words isn't going to change our stance.
If you decide to not discuss this further, that's OK with me. But I see no need for an agreement to not discuss it, since this is an open thread.
My Sunday afternoon had been excellent to far, and in a few hours I get to watch the Dallas Cowboys open thier season. Gong-Ga! Hope you Sunday is fine as well.
This is threadjacking, but I have to ask - what would change "the stance"? You have your opinion, I have mine, others have theirs - and that's OK if ultimately it helps to move our country forward. All I see lately, though, is a nation divided on seemingly every single issue under the sun. We are falling, I fear...
\I watched the Browns lose the opener but that is nothing new. I have problems here in Cleveland anyway
\
I've often wondered how the Cleavland fans embrace the Browns, since they aren't "The" Browns. I remember Browns fans being some of the most loyal and supportive fans, back in the day...

Are you a farmer? Do you grow your own food?
If not, do you buy your food at a supermarket, like 99% of the population does?
If you buy your fruits, vegetables, etc at the supermarket, do you check with the manager and make sure that the food was grown, gathered and transported by people who have learned English?
I don't have so much of a problem with Boncuk complaining about immigration policy. But his description of Muslims smacks of racism.
But anyway, I've lived in Germany and many of the Germans I knew were drunks. So does that mean all Germans are drunks? Well, if I adopt the group think, then I could conclude that to be true.
I would be engaging in the same racism that I see prevailing on this thread ( and others ) Well, not racism per se, but chauvinism for sure. And I say once again; the Arabs I've worked with are industrious, well mannered and law-abiding people.
Boncuks hero sounds suspiciously like the many professional racists in the US that jam the AM airwaves and Fox News with vitriolic hatred. Hate is such an easy emotion to drum up, and many Americans fall too easily into that trap.
Each time someone comes on here to trash a group of people biased on their race, it will be seen as racism by many, there is just no way around that. It's a slippery slope that's best avoided.
I know my country's immigration laws, and I'll argue as much as I please.
IMO that question is totally displaced having nothing to do with the thread!
Don't you smell your own racism out of that sentence? You just have discriminated all Germans to be drunks
You are obviously talking about your own racism. The Arabs you worked with were of the kind not escaping their country to get social care at foreign countries to behave there like street robbers!
Are there still negroes to be found dead in a swamp, perforated by 80 bullets, tared, feathered and drowned, having committed suicide?
It's relevant in the context of the discussion we were having.
You need to learn how to read. I said "IF" I adopted the group think, which I don't. For the reading challenged, I don't think all Germans are drunks. (Many of my friends are German immigrants)
I said the the Arabs I know are industrious, well mannered and law-abiding. Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about.
And your point is what? That there are racists in the US? Did you read where I already said that? Does that make racism OK? BTW, we don't call them negroes.
A very interesting remark of a greenhorn! Here's your statement again: "But anyway, I've lived in Germany and many of the Germans I knew were drunks."
There is no "if" contained in that statement, but it makes me a drunk, which I strongly think is discrimination of the worst kind.
But anyway, I've lived in Germany and many of the Germans I knew were drunks. So does that mean all Germans are drunks? Well, if I adopt the group think, then I could conclude that to be true.
Make your own rime on that. Fact is that that kind of suicide was committed very often in Alabama, not too long ago.
So you still call them "niggers"?
You claim not be a racist, but you call Germans drunks on the other hand.
Don't only visit the skyscrapers when visiting a foreign country. Dive into the earthen, wooden or tin huts from time to time and find out about "normal" life
Go visit village people doing 14 hours of hard farm work daily
Last not least: Stop spraying your poison in the forum.
.See the big, fat "if"? You're very dishonest to say otherwise.
Still waiting for a point in there.
No, that's a insulting perjoritive. But many racists use that word, and it's disgusting.
I never made any such claim. Lying doesn't become you.
I lived and was emersed in germany for many years. I visited all the high spots, and all the low ones.
I lived in an immigrant neighborhood in Salinas Ca for 5 years. Most of the peolpe I know who complain about the immigrants wouldn't last 10 minutes doing the work they do, including me.
I'll continue to speak my mind. You've made comments that other, besides me, see as smacking of racism, and I just happen to agree with them.
If that chaps you hide, then tough titties.
A statement is normally ended with a full stop. Being followed by another statement possibly saying the opposite makes it completely worthless!
You should know that. I'm trying to edit your texts at all. Just be aware what you're doing.
If you haven't grabbed it by now start thinking.
I wish you had really visited ALL of the high and ALL of the low spots as you claim. To me it seems you have experienced Germany as the rest of the GIs I made acquaintance with.
I tell you what: You have seen your BX, your commissary and occasionally a bit of the German scenery.
Are you telling me you are too weak for a bit of body work? You can perform an excellent fitness training in Thailand pushing a rice tractor through the mud. I bet after that you can show the immigrants in Salinas how to work quickly and efficiently.
And once again: You should really think about becoming propaganda minister in a 3rd world country as I already suggested.
