I sympathize with you Wolfguard, but you have to remember that common courtesy is what makes the world easier to live in.

Colorful euphemisms don't hide the truth, but pointing out the obvious isn't always right either.

The united states prides itself on its diversity. Making it a meltingpot destroys that basic ideal. Immigrantion is what makes this country what is without it most of you wouldn't be here. Its pure ignorance to dislike immigrants because they dont conform to your standard of life. Why should they? Just because you think they should?

You may give me the old well look at new your all thoese cultures living in 1 place speech, well come to Toronto that is a real cultural moasic. For the people who are talking about feeling dumb about not understanding people, how do you think they feel! It is not them who should be forced to adhere to our rules and customs it is us who should llook at their's and see what is good other places in the world!
Also it isn't racism to dicriminate someone if they are from a certian nation, although u may find this hard tobelive American is not a race..nor is canadian, dutch, or english

Well that and they also f*ck it up for the rest of us. You know why you feel that way? Probably because people with the same attitude did it to you somewhere down the line. This is a never ending chain of disrespect and disregard for each other- one of these days, someone has to be able to stand up and say "You know what? I got royally screwed over, and even though I want to just give up and screw the next joe who comes along, I'm going to try to be nice anyway, so that someday, when they have influence on someone else, that person won't become a jaded, bitter, mean spirited individual."

Of course, this requires people, for 13/100ths of a second, to think about something besides themselves. For a lot of people, the idea of EVER making a personal sacrifice for the betterment of others is absurd.

And people wonder why there is so much pain and suffering in the world today? I always think to myself "How could they wonder?"

Back to the topic of Immigration- As a Canadian, I see the various perspectives of it all. I feel for immigrants, and I think that many Americans (and Canadians alike) don't appreciate that many of these so-called "no good dirty bums" have had lives so difficult that our shiny-G7 pampered asses would never even be able to compare. Yes, we are all priveledged. Even Bob Smith, the typical minimum wage bus driver in New York, is a well-to do in the global scale of things. Canada and the US is like the Beverly Hills of the world.

Wow, now I'm getting WAY off topic. I think that the fact that I have a Calculus final exam tomorrow, and I should have got to bed three hours ago is lingering, and I can't concentrate. I think I'll just end this excrutiatingly long post here and hit the hay. Excuse me for any incoherence.

As for the language thing, if you were to move to any other country you would have to learn the language or you would never be able to get anything done. Just try to get a german drivers licence when you dont speak german. Try to get a french work visa without speaking french. Try to get anything in GB without speaking english(this is second hand but the guy that lived there told me it is so).

Funny thing is they have no problem taking our money, as long as they can ask for it in their own language.

Thats what happens when your raised by wolves. Its not wrong, if your a wolf, but the sheep fail to see the humor in being eaten.

And IMHO all the women here are the coolest.
