Illegals?
We need to show more sympathy for these people.
They travel miles in the heat, they risk their lives crossing a border, they don't get paid enough wages, they do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do, they live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language, they rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day every day. I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans, I'm talking about our TROOPS. Doesn't it seem strange that the Democrats are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops and are now threatening to de-fund them? [Taken from someone ( no name) but I agree] |

Re: Illegals?
Uh...isn't that what they signed up for? This is a volunteer military. Remember that. I am against this war. I find the conditions our soldiers live in and the things they have to do are appalling, which is why I believe this war needs to end. And cutting funds is one way for the executive branch to get their ass in gear.

No. Cutting a Marines fund? Bull-shi*! [Or a Navy Seal! Or a Greenside attached Corpseman..] They work their ass off in the war and they don't get paid the shi* that they deserve! We shouldn't be freaking homing the illegal Mexicans that cross our border because they can't get a job, thats a waste of money. We shouldn't be paying for all the crap thats unnecessary! And first of all, As I freaking posted, I just found this. I agree with it 100% Don't ask me for any evidence because you feel like you want to act smart, I know this is critical thinking, but if some people actually think and read, you would have realized that I didn't post this. Plus, I hate all the people that are against the war and want them to pull out. I have said this before: If we pull out, other countries could see this as a weakness and attack us, more terrorist groups, even though we are contributing to a religious war and finding hidden terrorist groups.

As for pulling out, I don't have an educated opinion on that, so I'll skip over it. Quote:

Also, don't you think that since the Army is good that they should get a bigger paycheck? How about the Military in whole? Have you thought about that? Quote:

As far as who goes out first in the war, I'm going to go ahead and say we start with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, then the Air Force, then spec ops, then Army, then more specialized groups. Though, just a guess, and I wouldn't quote me on it. As for kids, the pay I gave you was the absolute minimum, and as such you can expect them to be making from 1209 - 13k a month, 13k a month being a four star general (only like one person), so you can expect most people to be making 2-3k a month base, and then going up slowly from there. You can easily raise a family off of 36k a month before including the wife/kid's jobs. Also, if the family lives on base most of their stuff is tax-free, and I'm pretty sure some of that pay is income tax exempt. Also, the terrorist death toll isn't nearly as important to me as the USA military death toll. Nearly 3,300 American troops have died as per wikipedia. According to www.Iraqbodycount.com more than 60,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in the war. There isn't any official numbers of how many terrorists have been killed in the War on Terror, so if you find any let me know. |
Re: Illegals?
I will look into it. I'm going over to Camp Lejune soon so I will find out what I can. I'm also going to Camp David but I doubt that they will give any info. out.
Regardless of Pting. Military needs money. We need money for families and weapons. |
Re: Illegals?
"We need money for families and weapons"
I find this sentence curious. Amusing, even. Also, a lot of the points raised are a bit blatantly trollish it seems to me. |

George Bush should NOT have invaded Iraq. Iraq wasn't even the official target, it was the AL-Qaeda in Afghanistan. George Bush wanted to finish Daddy Bush's job in Iraq. Now that Americans are stuck in Iraq, you cannot pull out without sacrificing many lives in Iraq as well as the American troops. George Bush dug the hole, how will he dig himself out? Let's sit and watch the news for a couple months. **EDIT** If some idea like i just stated was already said, then ignore this i just didn't bother reading after this post. **EDIT 2** sorry i didnt realize this topic was a week old. Sorry for bumping. |

Re: Illegals?
I think I'm more amused that you'd define that post as a "long post" than I am amused by the naiveté of the content.

My parents of course aren't stubborn, stuck-up Mexicans that think they're supreme over everyone else. We started to fit in, learned the language, and now my dad is Art Director of Capital One and my mom has a job too as a secretary for a rehab center. Also, my brothers and I are doing exceptionally well in school, and we probably attend some of the best public schools in the country. So yeah, we're doing well, even though my parents still have accents.. so they struggle a bit in the language even today, and I admit, even though I don't have an accent, and speak Spanish.. rarely ever.. I stumble a bit on my words when I talk too fast. Of course I'm not racist at all against white-skinned Americans or any other race to be honest, however, I get teased a lot just because I'm Mexican. Practically by anyone, for no reason at all. I mean, I even talked to this girl the other day and she started ranting in my face about Mexicans taking all the jobs as if it was my damn fault. And people treat me bad because of what people like you (soulofcerberus) think of Mexicans in general. It really pisses me off because I'm not that kind of person. Yeah, I'm proud of who I am, but sometimes I wish I didn't tell people what country I'm from just to avoid drama. Also, the part about Mexicans walking all over "your land" amuses me a bit. Maybe you should read up a bit on the Mexican-American War. Some of that land used to belong to us, but not even that. It used to belong to the Native Americans until the Europeans started conquering this land and slaughtering all the Natives. So, basically, you have nothing to be proud of, and no one does. No one should be proud about living in a country that was won over by such heinous acts, but it's still a better place to live in than in most places. |

About the incident with the girl, I think I understand why she ranted to you about illegal immigrants taking away jobs from legal Americans. Whenever I have a problem with someone or something, I usually rant about it to someone -related- to what's causing my problem, but not -sympathetic- to them. Meaning, a member of the group but one that isn't causing the problem. I do this because I feel a member of the group understands that some members of the group are causing problems, and therefore this person is most likely to be sympathetic towards me. Now of course I don't know the exact conversation or tones used or anything, so I can't guarantee what I said is the case. From the information you've given me, I've determined that what I wrote is a likely scenario. Now to clarify: Quote:

Hayate has already said that he's just here to piss people off, and even if that wasn't his primary intention, he always violates Critical Thinking guidelines.
