    You have a lot of nerve making all these excuses for your country as people suffer waiting to be treated as a citizen and human being by the UK, while high handedly deciding other countries have to suffer. Even calling us racist.....really disgusting and not nice to have such little regard for the citizens of other countries who suffer with uncontrolled immigration. Must be nice to be on an Island with a natural border you didn't have to build.

    A globalized economy needs little of those good things. The US economy progresses despite unemployment, education or healthcare. Who needs healthy, educated American workers when their jobs can be given to Mexicans or Chinese?

    The US economy is doing well, but it has not trickled down to the working class.

    Ah. So back in 1941, the United States should have let the world start to function as one unit? Because it's not politically correct to isolate a country and divide the world? You need to get over to your local public library and borrow a few books before sharing these pearls of wisdom...

    I'm almost to the point of giving up on reasoning with some people. Honestly, I think my doggie has more common sense then some of the folks we try to reason with here...

    Yellowstone blowing would be a long term benefit and a short term problem because volcanic ash would revitalize much of the lands. If things got hotter, we have Alaska and the northern states to provide food and if the ice sheets returned in the north we would have the south.
    Most of the issues, like Syria, are a result of bad leadership and a lack of technology. The world could have prevented the whole thing if they provided resources to build 'farm skyscrapers' which are not susceptible to drought, pests, or even lack of light.
    Instead of helping them make their home better and be proactive in helping them provide for themselves you try to use them as cheap labor because there aren't enough europeans to run your factories.

    I agree about the middle east. Hillary and obama hired terrorists to over throw many middle eastern countries, and left them in chaos and ruin.

    No, you obviously don't pay attention nor understand anything about American and Mexican relations.

    There is no beef with Mexico. Its about illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

    hMMM, quite obviously illegal immigration would not be illegal if America and Mexico were united. Drug trafficking? it is not difficult to take away any drug trafficking by simply making all drugs legal. After all a persons choice to take drugs is their choice and to say otherwise is narcissism. I have no objection if people want to get wrecked and live a life drugged up, that would be their choice. The government could make a fortune for their country if they had the balls to legalise drugs.

    People lose the ability to'chose' when they are in the grip of drug addiction. Its how sex trafficers control their sex slaves.

    Democrats would love that, they love a wide base of indigent voters to pander to..........all the while taxing booze, tobacco, lotteries, and then debilitating drugs. Who is going to pay for that? The poor. :roflol:
    And yet the strung out meth and crackheads would line up to check D during every election, if they could find the polls. I'm fine with legalizing marijuana, but not the opioids, crack, and speed.

    They would have no control if the slaves could get their addiction treated and get free ''fixes''. Why is narcotics so illegal and such a bad thing? Is the illegal of it just governments money making scams?

    There is legal drugs with more affects and side affects than crack, speed or opiates. Cocaine use to be used for teethe ache, it is an effective pain killer like most of the drugs are. Alcohol is this planets worse drug yet we are happy to let this go on so why can somebody get so drunk they are dysfunctional is any difference to a crack head? The crack head is probably more alert.

    It has, but it tricked down past the former mfg sector to the Hi, Welcome to Walmart class of workers.
    The US economy may be progressing along, but as you seem to be aware, American workers are not participating.

    Right. Because of globalsim which you deem to be unstoppable.

    You are probably right about it's inevitability, but why pretend it is a good thing?

    We don't have a "beef" with Mexico. They are one of our biggest trading partners, and one of our biggest sources of legal immigrants. The problem some of have is not with Mexicans, but with Mexicans who don't obey our immigration laws and come in undocumented. They then undercut unskilled workers in the job market.

    That is why it is a good idea to drop all your gold in the Middle East and laugh all the way. It may seem an unimaginable action, but the world will not survive unless somebody does this action. A job market with no salary but benefits can not be undercut.

    "Most of them" is not good enough. If they are illegal NONE of them should be costing our taxpayers money.

    If humans weren't human, you might be correct.

    A balance of powers is necessary to give the less dominant groups and cultures a chance. Anyone who has attended school should be able to understand how easy it is for one clique to take over and totally ignore the needs and wishes of everyone else.
