QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 09:02 AM) The study I sighted last week estimates it costs $20,000 a year in a net tax money out flow for each illegal, on average, that is in this country. I’ve yet to see an unbiased, official study done to find out what the real numbers are, and I have a feeling that’ll never happen. I can see how it would be difficult when having to factor in the contributions of their labor, spending as consumers and taxes on their purchases, true numbers of the social services illegal immigrants themselves use, taxes they do pay, etc., but I would think it would be beneficial to do so. Maybe someday… QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 09:02 AM) We also wouldn't have to depend on the racist system that gives preferences to the places in the world which are closest to us. There are plenty of people in the world who need help more than lots of the illegals who are here. Why is it that a Mexican who can climb a border fence is a better candidate to live here, than a Rwanada lost boy? Is the fact that one lives closer than the other, more important than the fact that boy might be killed simply for being what race he is? Why shouldn't someone like that have his life made better first? Because it costs too much? Hell Social Security costs too much, but I don't see anyone saying to get rid of it. Of course cost and distance are the determining factors. And I’m sure you knew that too. Your great sympathy and wanting to bring more immigrants in danger in war-torn countries is interesting, though… QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) Right now there are 7 hispanics doing the maintenance in the stripmall lot where my store is located. One is riding on a lawnmower, 2 are walking along with leafblowers on thier backs, and the other 4 are follwing behind. 2 are holding garbage cans, 2 are bending down picking up bits of trash and stuff to put in the cans. They have been out there for at least 30 minutes so far, and this is a small strip mall. Moving very slow (except for the guy riding the mower). Yup, they are working hard, just bustin' ass cleaning the parking lot. Hispanics doing yardwork?? Must all be illegal. Damn those lazy Hispanic illegal immigrants and there unsatisfactory pace… QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 02:22 PM) Oh, by the way, they would probably be making more, because they will have worked their way up. I’m with you on that. Only those born and bred in the good ol’ U S of A deserve to work there way up and prosper. Americans are worth so much more than non-Americans… QUOTE(NUKE @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 02:37 PM) Now THIS is something I can agree with. If it weren't for corporations trying to cut corners and hire these people there wouldnt be a problem with all this. No, no, no. Why shed light on the root of the problem when stereotyping and degrading illegal immigrants is so much more fun?? (And no, I am not directing this towards anyone here in particular.) More should be done to strike this problem at its root, i.e. the government and businesses/corporations who allow this illegal immigration problem to grow and become worse because of how they profit from it, rather than the slandering and degradation of Hispanics and illegal immigrants. QUOTE(NUKE @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 02:56 PM) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,282833,00.html Get a load of these hispanic activists' reaction to AHNOLD'S statement. They're of the opinion that Mexicans don't need to assimilate at all. And you leftys wonder why we get so upset over this issue. Some of the kids of Hispanic immigrants don’t even speak much Spanish. I see their assimilation as no different than any other ethnicity or culture that has come throughout the years. And in certain aspects, since Hispanic culture already shares some similarities with ours, prossibly quicker than the assimilation of those from cultures and ethnicities farther away that are much more different.

QUOTE(max power @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:44 AM) Who gives a f***? s***, I swear all the time. They are just words. Good for you, but in this incident, it remains to be seen what occurred. Hopefully the part about there possibly being racial things said truly is false.

If true, this sounds a lot more pathetic and embarrassing then their play on the field... I won't speculate on who it was but would luv to find out.

She's no 10, and I'm glad there was no mention of her forehead...but she's cuute... The music is secondary...she could get it

I think I wanna stand under Rihanna's umbrella...

So where would you put this in terms of series finales all-time? Slightly better than seinfeld but nowhere near MASH?

I say the whole series was just the thoughts and imaginations of an autistic boy...

I'm struggling to find something about this team to be positive or hopeful about...

Elbows up, side to side...

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 07:48 PM) I find Sarah Silverman extremely sexy. I don't.

I'm excited to see Fields...

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 09:33 AM) Did he recover? lol Did that little gem go unnoticed? I'd put you in the quotes of the month thread if I wasn't so lazy.

Now I get his name...

Alright, who called in the geek squad? Anyways, I didn't recognize half the list... but he should be higher. He's a badass in probably about 5 movies a year and very recognizable, yet I'll never remember his name.

She's hot, but the e-fame has gotten out of hand. Her dad bulls***s that they don't want the fame because of the harrasment, yet they have been doing interviews and even TV talk shows??

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) Making blanket statements calling out an entire messageboard when you have been here for a little while isnt really the way to bring about a healthy discussion, and it will offend plenty of long time posters. The point brought up was valid. Maybe the execution wasn't the best, but I didn't mind the way it was said.

Any posts and opinions from anybody outside of the 4,400 post and 24 year old range are garbage really...

I had already kinda forgotten pods was on this team...

Bale forced the voice too much, in my opinion...

Very little brings out the sports dumb in people like ridiculous trade scenarios...
