Exactly! I've told them that, but the people in the illegal immigration forum will believe what they want to believe I guess. They can only take jobs with no skills anyway lol

I would agree with this. You're probably much braver expressing your racist and xenophobic views online than you are IRL.
I like how u put this while ignoring a racist post from another poster online. So is this like a selective racism thing where u only call out certain persons if they don't align with ur views?

Not true. I met a guy that was a doctor in Mexico. Trust me, it happens.

Yeah, I don't have to respect veterans. They know what they signed up for and they get more than enough benefits. That's always been my point. Seeing our tax dollars go to people that have "ptsd" when they don't really have it is just sickening. And no, the native americans did have borders and those immigrants had no right to trespass.
You not only disrespected our veterans but stereotyped them all as not deserving anything for putting their lives on the line for American citizens and to protect our country. It was despicable of you! Yet you sing the praises of illegal alien lawbreakers, demonize our veterans for using our tax dollars when needed but you don't give a damn about the over $100 billion that your illegal amigos cost us? Huh? What kind of moral compass did you grow up with?

How do you know if there were any veterans who faked PDS? You don't! If you think so then blame the doctors who diagnosed them! Just your hate filled rhetoric against Americans especially if they are white!

No, the Amerindians (they weren't natives) didn't have borders on this entire country that were officially recognized by the world. The Amerindians didn't even believe in land ownership. Everyone had a right to migrate here back then. There were no immigration laws! So no, the Europeans or any other subsequent settlers were not trespassing. However, today we do have internationally recognized borders, immigration laws and an established government. You need to stop living in the past as it is of no consequence to today.

You only do so to spew hatred towards white Americans and defend your illegal amigos. Your hate-filled agenda is clear to anyone who reads your garbage!

I believe it may partially be due to US citizen’s mass infatuation with social media and news networks that are more opinion pieces looking for high ratings (aka money) than getting out facts and actual news. This all divides us even more.

Let’s try to have a civil conversation here. No need to rant about the left or right. No need for name calling.

Why is there so much hate in the USA? What is causing it?
Easy, People trying to protect a 150 year head Start at all cost vs People that just want to equal is the way i see it.

Also Rich Corporation and the top 1%, That benefit from the lower class fighting each other over the same damn Scraps

I love how you people frame it this way. Such complete boll-cks.


Equal would have been the nation staying 85% white, like Ted Kennedy told us it would, when they lied to pass that monstrosity known as the 1965 Immigration Act. As we see now, in hindsight, we were completely lied to to completely destroy America.

Are you (irrationally) blaming the media for yesterday? Even the idiots/criminals who stormed the Capitol yesterday don't believe that. Their savior (who was going to 'MAGA') manipulated them into believing his fabrication i.e. 'the election was stolen' for nothing more than his own power/gain; Trump has never had anyone tell him no. He has essentially gone into tantrum mode re: his inability to accept reality. Hence the reason he's being banned from Twitter and Facebook (at least temporarily) as he continues to incite with his inflammatory lies (despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary).

It's beyond clear he's not well (and is extremely dangerous) i.e. 'we're going to march down to the Capitol' in his 'rally/speech' for his cult followers yesterday morning. Then after chaos ensues, his message to a mob of thugs was 'love you, you're special'. It's hard to believe it could play out as such. Time to invoke the 25th Amendment and end the insanity. Enough is enough.

To the contrary, the media hasn't poured gas on the fire for four years; however, some Republicans have - little surprise he feels entitled to an election he didn't win.

You keep demonstrating my point re: people have lost the ability to discuss politics (or anything) intelligently and rationally without making it personal or throwing down insults. The thread is not relative to who you (or I) hate; it's re: the country as a whole (and where we are politically) per a Politics Forum.

If you disagree, then state so (and why) rather than make it personal as if a child would do i.e. 'go away already'.

What blows my mind is the amount of anger given how even the poor here live well compared to middle class people in other nations. Despite economic stagnation at the bottom everyone still has clean filtered tap water, 20 electrical outlets, most have a car, most live in single family homes. Our poor people are too fat.

There are so many people in the world who have never owned a car, had indoor water, and think it's wonderful to have a single electrical outlet. If you get sick beyond a common cold there are no treatment options, you die.

The morons on both sides need some perspective. The USA has problems that only need tweaks to fix. We are materially blessed among all people ever born. Not just the super rich but the people at the bottom.

I hope nobody from Flint sees this

I have quite a bit of native American in me, but I realize the world was changing whether they wanted it to or not. If it was not Europeans it would have been someone else. This sort of thing has happened a million times in history. We know the Indian tribes fought amongst themselves. Are you crying for them too? American colonists won and natives lost, get over it. If they didn't want them here they should have won the battle. They didn't so guess what? Europeans got to tell them what to do. Where there some wrongs, of course there were. That is war for you, and that won't change. We were a hair from speaking German. Thank goodness the allies won the war.

That's probably the most pathetic take I've seen here in awhile!!
The poor suffer here largely because they are not committed to moving themselves forward. There is EVERY opportunity here to make a good living if you want it and are willing to work for it.
