Chris...I am going to reply to what you wrote in the other topic.

"When I heard about the Southern states turning away immigrants, I ******** raged.

America was MADE by immigrants for Christ's sake! Every person in America is there because of immigrants. Even if you were born there, you had an ancestor that came there from another country seeking freedom and opportunity. If you're white anglo-saxon like the majority, chances are your ancestor came there from Ireland escaping poverty and famine, or Britain trying to get away from imperialism (OH THE IRONY) and finding their own fortune, or France finding a new life and getting away from the lawlessness and corruption of 18th and 19th century imperial rule. People en masse, from all over the world came there to be treated fairly and equally outside of repressive imperial regimes that ruled the world at the time.

People all over the world now are going there to escape from gangs, drug runners, anarchy, communism and bloodthirsty warlords, and are now being turned away by other people who fled to America to escape from corruption and crime in their fatherland. What the ********? "

Ohh dude...I know. I went ballistic! I was like, what the c**k is this s**t? How is it that after all these years of calling America free, it really isn't? If we are so "free" then how come our rights are being ripped out from us? Which is why I believe all of our freedoms were just bullshit to begin with. Just a way to keep everyone from protesting and going ape s**t. Or, if we ever had them, they were snatched away a VERY long time ago. I am so disgusted with America. It makes me want to puke. I mean really, its that bad. And now people coming here, its probably going to feel like their old country because of how ******** up this country is.

I wish I could say the same. Every country has its problems but some are better than others.
