White and bland are often associated.

"It had nothing to do with people," other than the fact that you dismissed InformedConsent's reasonable and polite post as "juvenile" and "pedantic."

Maybe you should apologize to him.
Maybe you should worry about your posts and attitude. I'm a big girl. I appreciate your concern about the environment of our boards but perhaps you can lead by example first.

How so? Justice is blind. How is that juvenile or pedantic? That's the underlying basis of our entire justice system.

Oh I agree. Remember the supposed death panels? People don't want to discuss the real issues of extended life care, birth control, etc. like you said. But that doesn't change the fact that there is a big group of people in our world who would rather bury their heads in the sand regarding the environment than do something about it.

I suggest you set a good example by apologizing to someone whose post you called -- without any justification -- "juvenile" and "pedantic."

United States has to be the dumbest country. Every other country has laws.
And people wonder why we have such attacks

Because the justice system isn't that simple. It never was and with good reason. There are precipitating factors in many crimes and they should be examined.

Maybe you should have just said that instead of calling what InformedConsent said "juvenile" and "pedantic."

You might also give examples of "precipitating factors" and explain how they are relevant.

You're very welcome.

I'm looking forward to seeing you "go high," as Michelle Obama would put it.

Most of us understand that it takes two to tango. Apparently you don't realize that.

If they speak English and obey our laws, then they are assimilated. That's my definition.

What people say matters less than what is true.

People saying false things about legal immigrants in the past doesn't automatically mean that people are saying false things about illegal immigrants in the present.

Logic -- make friends with it.
