    Possibly. But let me point out all 3 of those countries were around long before America so they’ve had way more time to learn diplomacy.

    They had a lot of time to learn it before WW1 and 2 but they didn't.

    You're defensive because it's true?

    Damn dude, talk about letting it all hang out, lol

    How bad is it? I mean how sorry for you should I feel?

    JUst to put it bluntly are you on the small end of average or are you sporting a full on micropenis?

    I hear they have surgery for that kinda thing these days.

    Do you need a go-fund-me?

    Surely you can follow a conversation better than that. You don't wanna pretend to be too stupid, people might start to believe you.

    So I understand that there is little sympathy for gathering victims since most of them are either immigrants or illegals. I refuse to called illegals “immigrants “ since they are here as criminals who committed breaking and entry (illegal) into the country. I came here legally as a toddler tagged along with my parents and I do not appreciate either liberal do good.ers calling illegals “immigrants “ nor do I appreciates the right wing gebonees equating me a legal ( and American citizen) immigrant to illegals. This hatred for illegals though well earned by those criminals should not taint those of us who are legal immigrants.

    Relax. We are all immigrants here. No body hates you for that.

    I bet you never had an adult who was holding a bible walk across the street and yell at you ( age about 5 +. ) while you were riding your first two wheeler. The words she spewed out were ‘ you DP’s you hate Yankees ( Americans) but you love the Yankee ( American) dollar. You come here and you take our jobs and take our rents. Go back to where you came from.’ She had walked over from some sort of a “church” that was in a residential house. A DP was the acronym for Displaced Person being people who were displaced from their home country ( my parents) and could not go back. Reason is that Russia took over my parents home country and my father would have been executed for being an anti Soviet nationalist and my mother would have been sent to Siberia as was her father. I am sure that jobs that my dad “stole “ from Americans in the first few years were not wanted by Americans.

    If you think that the woman was sowing love and reading from her bible and thanking the Lord that we DP’s were safely living in the best country in the world you are grossly mistaken. I had suppressed that incident for many years until the immigration news about 20-25 years ago came creeping out. There has always been anti immigrant fever in this country starting in the 19 century with the Irish. Then it went on for the Asians, Italians, EasternEuropean Jews etc.

    Still I hold that illegals are just that illegals not immigrants such as my parents who were vetted, had undergone background checks, and lived in a refugee camp for a number of years until it was their turn to be counted in the immigration quota. I was a toddler when I stepped off the boat. My parents survived forced labor camps curtesy of the Germans during WWII.

    Has that woman been typical of the way Americans react to you?

    Boo hoo, some one said something mean.

    I was a blonde haired green eyed "white" boy in a mixed neighborhood. Guess how much hate I got. lol...

    One time a black boy about my age, 5 or 6, approached me with what I assume to be his parents, one holding each hand, glaring at me.

    The boy had to tears running down his face, as angry as I've seen anyone, to this day.

    They stopped in front of me and the boy screamed "Whitey" at the very top of his lungs. I didn't know what that meant but could tell it was supposed to hurt my feels, so I calmly called him "whitey" back.

    The result was stupendous. Holding onto his parents hands, his feet were actually higher in the air than his head was. Flipped the **** out.

    That was my introduction to race relations.

    Fun times.

    Well, in this case "illegal" is appropriate, as he was here illegally and has previously been deported at least four times.

    And the law is quite clear, illegal immigrants are not allowed to own or possess firearms.

    When it comes to firearms, then "illegal" should be clearly stated when one is involved.

    Does not matter what you want to call them.

    Funny thing is, I am 58 years old and can't think of ever hearing of anything like that, let alone somebody being called a "DP".

    Especially since I remember my community opening their arms in 1975 and 1976 to the "Boat People" from Vietnam. My school suddenly had a dozen students, who spoke little to no English. We did not tease them, we embraced and supported them and they are now as "American" as I am.

    Yes, there will always be inbred idiots like that, but they are by far the minority.

    The church I attended adopted a Laotion family, brought them over here and got them settled. But that's probably racist these days.

    We had foreign exchange students as well, two guys from Chile, a girl from West Germany, and one from Sweden.

    Never had I heard anyone say the things Partizan1 is posting about.

    Must have been a liberal.

    This guy was a nut but this seems to me that what we now is a short version. I think it's likely there is a history of ill feelings involved.

    No, of course not. Not many people outwardly behave as she did. Yet over the years I had heard comments which were anti immigrant especially from those who had no idea that I was an immigrant. Having come here at a very young age I never had an accent and if I pronounce my last name in an Anglican way many people assume I am of Scottish origin and that is as good as “American “ with them. Ever since the illegal crises came about and there was a massive fore giving of illegals circa Reagan , he is not solely to blame we ignored the illegal crises until it was impossible to round them all up I have noticed that tolerance of immigrants is less. I said this before but many people lash out and say all immigrants not just illegals need to “go back where they came from”.

    Seems like you have a mighty stick up your arse about being an immigrant.

    My wife is an immigrant. What's more, she was an illegal when we got married. And she said she has rarely heard such.

    We are a nation of immigrants. There will always be idiots, but they are very much a minority. And then you drag in President Reagan and his amnesty? Which was actually very targeted. Why? What does that have to do with anything, other than your trying to drag in some obscure politics that you apparently believe in? And apparently accusing the government of "round up" immigrants?

    You seem to have a huge amount of unfocused hate in you, and sorry but we can't help you there.

    Hell there are some illegals that live next door to some relatives of mine. Been there for decades. Our families are close.

    To be honest, that does not matter.

    He was drunk, an shooting in his own yard. One must never mix alcohol and firearms, and unless you live out in the middle of nowhere should never me shooting in your own yard.

    However, one thing I am immediately reminded of is the fact that the DC Beltway Sniper also had complaints that he was shooting in his own backyard in a suburban neighborhood. In fact, it was the bullets recovered from his backyard that helped put a needle in his arm.

    But on top of it, he was an illegal deported multiple times. And as such he had no legal right to possess a firearm. That is clear, plain and simple, black and white. It is a felony for an illegal alien to possess firearms. Period.

    And I bet if he had shot nobody and arrested for this, he would never have been charged for that felony gun charge and simply deported again so he could join the revolving door at the border.
