Chris Cornell is sooo hot! I love Pj. She doesn't get enough credit. Even Courtney Love is a psychopath I love Hole's second album "live though this."

You didn't answer my questions. I didnt see any question except,,, 'Where's the problem?' That is the question I addressed. the other points were valid,, CRIMINALS (illegal immigration is criminal) should have the rules and consequences applied equally (wherever they are from and whatever they look like) Those wishing to live in America should learn the dominant language and learn to flourish in the culture,, just as AMericans would have to do if wanting to live in France or Italy, or any other country. Americans do want their country back, but they just have different opinions about what can and cant be done, and what should or shouldnt be done to accomplish that because most of them are hyped up on emotion without considering LOGIC and REASON. Ya know, if we wanted to, we could make ANY law all about profiling. Nowhere in SB 1070 does it say ANYTHING about race. (You should know this, as YOU read the bill). If I (as a white male) were to be driving through a black neighborhood, I WOULD/have been stopped, searched and questioned. It was interesting trying to explain to the police that I was delivering PIZZA. Is that an example of racial profiling? YES But that's OK because I'm white. It DOES happen to ALL of us You were stopped for driving through a black neighborhood? ,,thats an interesting charge,,, is that how the officer explained it? were there black drivers stopped as well? was there a problem with drug sells in this neighborhood?,,,,,those would be interesting answers to have and would possibly justify the stop beyond just your race,,, in any case, because something HAPPENS still does not make it right or something we should ignore or shoot for... Yes, I was stopped for being in a black neighborhood. The cop told me that he wanted to know why a "white boy" was in a black neighborhood and what I was doing there. He then called for back up and they searched my car for drugs, they found nothing but a couple insulated pizza carriers. They then told me that they didn't want to see me in that area again. They didn't/won't harass black drivers in that area. "That would be racial profiling". But again, I'm white so it's OK. We ALL know that whites no NOTHING about racial profiling. seems as if you encountered a racist cop then, and should have reported him if that was all there was to it. Its probably not true that in a black neighborhood where drugs is apparently an issue that they would not be also stopping black drivers. But in a free country, your race has nothing to do with where you can travel legally and this cop should have been reported for harassment, but few people question the motives of cops. also, I never stated that whites have no experience with profiling, my point was just that profiling should not be permitted on mere grounds of race or ethnicity. Just for example. If I were to be in Mexico, I would be subject to the SAME laws that WE are trying to enforce here in america. That IS racial profiling. Weather you admit it or not, racial profiling IS a fact of life for ALL races, in all countrys. We DO agree that it IS WRONG, but it is a FACT of life. and I would NEVER live in certain parts of Mexico because of such corruption and abuse,, I agree it is wrong and it is a fact of life, but it is still something people should not support or ignore anymore than other 'facts of life' like theft, or murder, or war,,etc,,, and the laws should certainly not support or give validity to such 'facts of life' |

It just seems like to me you're trying so hard to find something to disagree with MSharmony on when in fact you both are on the same page. |

Hello, fellow grunge fans!

I usually work. Sometimes I go out or stay home and paint or watch a movie. I'm pretty basic.

I want to kill the people I serve. Especially the cheap non-tipping bastards who walk in with a chip on their shoulder.
