I suggest you actually travel outside of America once in your life. You'll see places that function quite well outside of "how America does things." You might even realize that other places have a quality of life superior to America's today. That was not always the case. But since Americans can't shake our "gotta have it quick and cheap" mentality...http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/confused005.gif (broken link)

Maybe if you bother to care about "other people" you'll come to learn that "other people" aren't interested in taking over America and kicking the whities out...they're interested in making themselves better and, as a byproduct, America better. It is hard to better ones self and destroy one's surroundings in the process, eh?

It's amazing the way people personally attack anyone who doesn't go along with the left-wing, one world mentality. Note that they never actually address the issues. All they can think of is personal attacks and scream "racist." They have managed to use this tactic to defeat any attempt at a reasoned debate over immigration for years.

What gets me the most is their hypocrisy. They foam at mouth about seeing any other culture in the world destroyed by Americanization, globalization or even just McDonald's. Our culture, however, can be ripped to shreds without a moment's concern or consideration. Perhaps when you are denied a job in the name of diversity or because you do not speak Spanish you will change your mind. Think it can't happen? It already does. You people are just so naive.

I get an extra special laugh by posts such as this one, though, seeing as how I've lived outside the US on several occasions for extended periods or years at a time. It just shows how utterly ignorant and bankrupt the personal attacks are. They can't discuss the issues, so they just make up stuff. And they can't discuss the issues because they aren't interested in the issues. All they are interested in is making themselves feel virtuous through their pathetic smugness.

Glad to see the Moderators crack down on these ''nothing but negative'' posters on here. I see they also just closed down another thread and warned certain posters about them always spewing nagativity.

Something tells me that if they continue then we'll see ''Not A Member'' underneath their name.

Thanks Moderators (EnjoyEP, MB2 and SmokyMtnGal) !! as your doing a good job on the Trollsters !!

Hi all -

I hate to always be the party pooper, but we are kind of spiraling off here and are off the basic premise of the original thread and the intents of the postings in the city-specific forums.

Thus, I am going to shut this one down now.
