Be the change that you want in this world.
You want to know what reality is? are you ready for that?
have you ever fallen in love? have you loved your sisters, brothers with all your soul, regardless of their race, religion, country or actions?
Dunno but I hear that we export tons of x-tacy to the US. I mean it would be a crime not to do so since y'all are so eager to take it off our hands. And If we don't someone else will, right? I guess its all just a question of supply and demand, so as long as you keep demandin’ we’ll keep supplyin’.
So you're proud of providing for drug addicts? That's wonderful.

Why would I take responsibilty for something I had NOTHING to do with? And your BS about giving the US back? Are you suggesting we give it back to the Mexicans (aka Spaniards) who stole it from the Native Americans? Come to think of it, science shows evidence that Native Americans didn't settle in North America until the 1100's, and since I'm Norwegian and the Vikings were here BEFORE THAT (read: Leif Erickson) then maybe it's rightfully mine to begin with. Maybe Holland deserves to have their country taken over by Muslims, how's that situation going for YOU?

As long as they're doing it in China or migrating LEGALLY to the US, then I have no problem. However, ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE NO RIGHTS.

Really? Because I view the pro illegal "they're just nice people looking for a better life" to be the very definition of IGNORANT and SIMPLE. Or perhaps since you don't even live in this country, and you have no idea how illegal immigration is affecting middle class Americans in the US, you should consider that you don't have the slightest damn clue what your talking about before you start running your mouth.

Nope, I'm just pretending to be a (ruthless) capitalist, cauz they often use the same excuse. But hey, at least they operate legally when they do that, righ? So whenever you (mis)use the law to your own benefit we can't call it criminal or evil behaviour. So many individuals don't, because they are afraid of getting sued for every penny they own or worse.

If you believe that BS about vikings 'discovering' America before the Indians, then yes you should certainly give the country back.
Just because you have set a foot in a country, it doesn't mean that you automatically are the owner.

I don't care as long as they recognise that people have the same basic rights that I enjoy now.

Right, just like the Jews in Nazi Germany?

LoL as if Holland in the 60s,70s,80s and half of the 90s wasn't viewed as an economical paradise for many economic fugitives.
Do you really believe that the US is the only country the poor flee to? Just because you see yourself as THE free country of the world doesn't mean that you are the ONLY free country in the world, even if you Americans would like to believe that. Talk about simplicity and ignorance.
Well by your own quote, the Indians didn't own it first just because they "stepped foot" on this land first. The past is the past, GET OVER IT. Moronic ideas of giving land back are about as realistic as you ideas of setting all your opressed cat and dog brothers free from their owners. Moderator cut: personal attack

I am pretty split about immigration. There is good and bad.
However, I read this article today, and it really touched my heart. If this guy hadn't been trying to illegally enter, who knows what would have happened to this boy. I am really hoping they allow this guy (aka one of God's angels) to gain LEGAL status in the USA! He definitely deserves it!!!!!!
Being territorial and owning things are 2 different things. A Tiger doesn't give a damn when a giraffe strolls through his territory. But a man who has a car locks it because he believes that everyone covets his car. Man through his believe in possession has become paranoid compared to the other animals.

And a man doesn't give a damn when rabbits run through his back yard. If another man runs through his back yard, however, he cares. Same thing with a tiger. Tigers are territorial with other tigers. (Giraffe? You have your continents mixed up TD. ) The tiger owns his territory just as men own theirs. Being territorial means "owning territory," so it is in fact the same thing as owning.

I lock my car to prevent theft. Pretty basic. This has nothing to do with belief, but everything to do with the fact that cars and the items they contain are subject to theft.

Paranoid? Life is a struggle. Life is competition. This is fact, not paranoia. Tell a female lion, after a kill, that she's just "paranoid" of those pesky hyenas.

Nope, the tiger does not see the land and everything on it, under it, or above it as his. It is just a place were he finds food.
Man wages war with anything that disturbs his piece and he views everything on the land, under it and above it as his. You make the mistake of attributing a human characteristic to an animal.

They are only subject to theft, because you believe you own it. If one does not own a thing it cannot be stolen.

Lions do not hunt after hyenas when they are not after their food. Man wages war with everything and everyone that uses the same resources as him. He even hunts it into extermination.
No other animal does this. Simply because it is not cost effective.
