No, they shouldn't. I'll always remember the movie, "Blade Runner" and how that type of society seemed like our future. I think in the long run, we will see many more "robots", taking the jobs of what most humans currently do.

Yes, actually, I did know that. Back in college when I was taking an ethnomusicaology course on Japanese music and learning to play the koto (a Japanese instrument) the professor covered the history of the Ainu. They look nothing like modern Japanese. They are as hairy as vikings but the hair is black like other Orientals. Very interesting.

Its a good system and we should also remove all reference to race in this country. Of course that would prevent liberal race-baiters from one of their tried and true tools for staying in power: divide and conquer. They'd still have the class warfare card to play but it would take a big arrow out of their quiver.

Very good point about the hypocrisy of the left. We aren't allowed to enforce our own (very lax) immigration laws, but every other country with laws much stricter than our own are A-Okay.

America = Bad

Everyone else = Good

Got it.

Racial segregation couldn't be farther from a liberal approach. I see it more in the south, in Texas, more than I ever saw in the liberal states. You opinion doesn't mean anything. But if one did, then you're just as guilty of playing and associating race card by implying that welfare is somehow limited to certain races. Now, would you dare what you implied by it? And which races might that be?

Yes, we'll be boycotting Japan because Japan's immigrant policy has so much to do with us over here. That proposition makes so much sense. Smart boy.

I think Japan has retaken the lead, it had relinquished to China, on IOUs.

Yep. For anti-immigrant, we have the city of Farmer's Branch here in Dallas area, that is holding the beacon. I do think that AZ politics would like to see a drop in Hispanic population.

maybe to the contruction trade, to a lazy american construction worker, an illegal mexican might seem like a super natural working robot. btw loved the film but the "robots" "skins" of blade runner were not worker bees they were super killer gangbangers.
and very much like our new crop of illegal mexicans, looking for a better life over your dead body.
