leave it alone lee..

I may be a day ahead, but I think I'm a week behind...

Morning Jax, Gypsy, Purple, and whomever else is about..

It just goes to show that rules and regulations are NOT applied in a fair and just manner.
Nothing vieled about it. It's right in your face and this poster has done the same in a number of threads.
Makes me think that he's afraid of intelligent people and intelligent women in particular. Nothing more spineless and cowardly than attacks such as this.

It wasnt a veiled comment.....it was slightly BLATANT!!!

Now......what happened to purples response???

It seems odd to me that her comment was "erased" but the prostitute comment was allowed to stay.....

hey there lee..harry,and everyone else

Hi Jax Hi Everybody else!

It might interest you to know that the Mexican Government owns both the copper company in Mexico, Cobre de Mexico, and the petroleum company, Petro Mexico. They have the money to make a better life for their citizens yet they seem to think that the solution to their poverty problem is to send them to the U.S.

THEY have no more power of their govt as you do of yours!!!!

I heard purple got into trouble and the poster in question is on timeout yet again.

Economy Mexico Top of Page
Economy - overview:
Definition Field Listing
Mexico has a free market economy that recently entered the trillion dollar class. It contains a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the private sector. Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and airports. Per capita income is one-fourth that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal. Trade with the US and Canada has tripled since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. Mexico has 12 free trade agreements with over 40 countries including, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan, putting more than 90% of trade under free trade agreements. The new Felipe CALDERON administration that took office in December 2006 faces many of the same challenges that former President FOX tried to tackle, including the need to upgrade infrastructure, modernize the tax system and labor laws, and allow private investment in the energy sector. CALDERON has stated that his top priorities include reducing poverty and creating jobs. The success of his economic agenda will depend on his ability to garner support from the opposition.

Economy - overview:
Definition Field Listing
The US has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $43,500. In this market-oriented economy, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets. US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers and in medical, aerospace, and military equipment; their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II. The onrush of technology largely explains the gradual development of a "two-tier labor market" in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households. The response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 showed the remarkable resilience of the economy. The war in March-April 2003 between a US-led coalition and Iraq, and the subsequent occupation of Iraq, required major shifts in national resources to the military. The rise in GDP in 2004-06 was undergirded by substantial gains in labor productivity. Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage in the Gulf Coast region in August 2005, but had a small impact on overall GDP growth for the year. Soaring oil prices in 2005 and 2006 threatened inflation and unemployment, yet the economy continued to grow through year-end 2006. Imported oil accounts for about two-thirds of US consumption. Long-term problems include inadequate investment in economic infrastructure, rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, sizable trade and budget deficits, and stagnation of family income in the lower economic groups. The merchandise trade deficit reached a record $750 billion in 2006.

insert head scratching emoticon here

How does one reconcile deep compassion for troops, that are away fighting in another country, in a mad man's war, and have such toxic views on people who are desperate enough to be shot, just to try and have a better life?

I cannot understand, that some of the posters here, are so selective in whom they choose to give their compassion to.

it is not who they are but the

laws they follow or choose not to follow

no one posting hates the immigrant what is hated is the illegality of their actions

and not many like the war the soldier is fighting
but understand the no win position they are in that
buts them there

hugs to you lee

Jess if they are so damn willing to be shot to obtain a better life, why don't they stand up to their governments and demand a better life where they live.

They have a very corrupt and dangerous government.
They have been so beat down and know no better. It is time for an uprising, but do they have it in them? How many will die trying?
