All those damn towelheads should be deported, unless they were born here. If they are a born citizen then thats kool, but deport all the rest of em and dont let anymore in...we cant take ANY risks....if u have something against what I said then screw u cuz I dont care....this is MY opinion.

Charming. Excuse me miss, but your small-mindedness is showing.

You are of course welcome to your opinion, but you shouldn't essentially tell me to f*#k off because I disagree. It only makes you and your argument look more ignorant.

Bootsy, I would demote your decription, "small-mindedness" to infinitesimal- mindedness. That would be more accurate.

I hate to admit it, but I agree. The government should
close down the borders so
no one else is aloud in.

1. We (The United States) are, and have always been, a nation of "foreigners;" and this is, and has always been, a great strength of our country. We would not be where we are today without the immigrants (famous and unknown) who made America what it is now.

2. Closing our borders to legal immigration would not have prevented what happened on Sept. 11th.

3. Americans are more violent than almost any other peoples of the world, as evidenced by our murder and crime rates.

4. The type of ethnocentric, jingioistic claptrap you are expressing is part and parcel of the reason Americans are hated around the world.

5. Religious fundamentalism and the arming of religious extremists to fight our national enemies brought us to this sorry pass, NOT our openness to legal immigration.

Care for me to come up with more reason why we SHOULD NOT close our borders?!? Because I certinaly could but frankly I have homework to do right now.

Here's a final note:

THE NEW COLOSSUS
Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

About border closing. Not a good idea, I'm in agreement with Bootsy. Beyond that though the notion that "our goverment" could succeed in accomplishing such imperviousness shows a confidence of mythological proportion in the government. We aren't impervious as we were well reminded of on Sep 11. To go on thinking that we are, or that our government can do anything it chooses to do is a naive and dangerous trust. So few have caused you to fear so many. That is a misplaced fear, a waste of time and energy that could be directed toward the real problem.

Why, thank you for sharing. I never told u to F*#k off or w/e, I said screw u....it doesnt mean the same thang. I gave fair warning that I dont care what u hafta say to me. And what do they wear on their heads? Towels yes thats correct...therefore that would be a towelhead.

Divisionbabe:
Judginng by your venomous return to the board, you do care what people have to say to you. Actually, you said damn towelheads. S..off and F..off are one and the same. To argue semantics about it is disingenuous and not credible. But to the problem: terrorism. Ask yourself if your solution--kicking out "towellheads"--will ever happen. Ask yourself, if it did, would terrorism end or even be abated? Do you want to help solve the problem or spew insults and retorts?

Screw "u" and F*#k off are essentially the same thing, as you would know if you had a grasp of semantics above a second grade level. After all, what do we call an act of sex? Screwing...and well, bingo, we also call it f*#king. Just one example of many as to why they are essentially the same.

Again, your problems with the grasp of the english language are evidenced by not being able to notice the simple difference between a towel and a turban. Allow me to help you, since you probably burned your dictionary along with your other books...

TOWEL: (n)-an absorbant cloth or paper for wiping and drying something wet.

TURBAN: (n)-a man's headdress worn cheifly by Muslims, consisting of a long cloth wound around the head.

Even if you are so ethnocentric as to demote a culturally significant headdress to a mere piece of cloth used to swab our bodies, you are ignornant for reducing an entire culture's identity to that headdress.

WAIT! I guess all Americans are cowboys after all, since that seems to be the predominant stereotype that ignorant foreigners reduce our culture to.

Are YOU a cowboy Divisionbabe05?

If you really don't care what I have to say to you, then please, don't respond. We can all live without your racist babble.

I am interested in helping you overcome your xenophobic tendencies. Trust me, you won't make it far in our ethnically diverse culture if you cling to them and continue to voice them, unless you go hide yourself in some log cabin in the woods somewhere and do nothing with your life other than read white supremist literature. If you do continue to voice your racist ideas, don't come crying to me when you wake up with swastikas spray-painted on your dorm room door.

Brilliant reply, kittflynn. Just as you claim I helped you to "see the light" a few days back, you have helped me to see the light.

I am not going to erase my last post because I think it needs to be said...however, I am going to try to refrain from lowering myself to a level I don't like being at, which I just did a few minutes ago. From now on, I am going to try to focus on the issues and refrain from name-calling.

Most of you know that is how I generally operate. Some of my posts in this thread are somewhat out of character for my generally mild mannered nature. However, some things just incense me....

[Kay Scarpetta]

I certainly ain't gettin into this, but I just want to say: Well Said, Bootsy and Kittflynn

The reason I said that the
borders should be shut down
is because, the foreigners
are coming in and somewhat
taking over. Look around your
home, house, apartment and
what-not. Almost everything
is foreign. Now, I will admit
that the US and other countries are in trade, which is great. But, in my eyes, it
looks like the foreigners are
slowly coming over and taking
over. Do we, the US Americans
want that? I highly doubt that! Now, as far as foreigners wanting to come live here, good luck trying!
Some of them are killed trying to leave their country
especially the people in Afganistan. If they try to escape or leave, they will be
killed. For those of them who
have made it over, good for them. But, the US can't keep
letting these people in. If we keep letting in, I guarantee they WILL take over! Almost everything we have is foreign, true? So, they are slowly taking over!
I realize the goods that the
US and other countries are trading are helping each other, that I do understand, but can someone tell me what
around you or us is American,
besides some of the people in
this country? Sorry this was
so long!

Divisionbabe05, your from Arkansas? I would have never guessed.....

Bootsy, brilliant comeback. I think that Divisionbabe05 is probably young and is just trying to sound cool by repeating some ignorant remark she heard from a friend, sibling, parent, whatever. Maybe when she is on the receiving end of such harsh statements, she will realize that strong language can hit harder than a fist and should be used responsibly. Not doing so does not make you sound cool or intelligent - it just makes you sound ignorant. There is nothing worse in life than ignorance.
