Actually, I'm listening to people who at one time thought welfare was the worst thing invented. Now that they're over 85 they think, young people need a break and are asked to do to much to get ahead in life.

Wonder where this nation would be if this was the thought when their children were growing up. Or their parents......

Minds do seem to keep changing about people sitting around doing nothing.......

Too bad those poor Boratpeople got suckered into giving up their nukes.....look what happened.

Texas will be a foreign-like country in 10-15 years.......well, at least to people who don't speak Mexican.

There is some truth to that comparison. With the number of criminal aliens welcomed into this country with open arms, at some point they could well vote for Texas or CA to become part of Mexico.

I'm afraid the Borat people know how to live life better than Texans.

Or anywhere in the country --except perhaps for NYC. But the Big Apple is the opposite of Texas in every aspect, particularly guns and social life. Some people say New York is a European city.

By the way, Odessa is being contested but either way they'll have a good life.

Odessa is one of my favorite city. I have relatives there and I've been to Odessa a few times.
But what is Borat people?

Guatemala also kicked Mexico out but Mexico doesn't have any interest in wanting that land back. Too; if Mexico has LOST its war with Spain around 1821, hell Spain might've sold ALL of what became Mexico to us like France did with the Louisiana Purchase 200 years ago.

What you are talking about has happened in many places like Poland, Germany, France, and even Tibet.

If Mexico was still making lots of babies; I'd agree. Mexico's pop is getting OLD since less and less kids are being born there every year per 100 people.
