Don't donate to charity for good reasons
Reason #1: They pocket a good deal of the donations and pay no taxes on their looting, which is pure bs. So the middle class has to pay all the taxes while corporation CEOs of companies such as Red Cross, MIcrosoft, e.g., get massive tax breaks. Unless you are one of these rich shits, then I don't see how you can disagree with me on this matter, at least.

Don't forget taking over Iran New Orleans, military force needed.

I checked to see if this was already done, and I don't think anything covered this specifically.

Now, the only type of immigration I have any issue with is illegal immigration. I've found that people who are pro-illegal immigration don't really know what goes on, the real effects on unemployment, and the unfair competition that goes on.

When I say unfair competition, I mean the fact that no American citizens have the ability nor opportunity to compete and offer to work for a lower wage than the immigrated competition. Employers GO TO MEXICO, find people that are willing to work for these much lower wages (under min. wage low, because that low wage is still worth quite a bit more there than it is here, making working for such low wages not nearly as bad of a thing), and ship them over here.

These jobs ARE in demand to some point, American people WILL do these jobs, so "they're shitty jobs anyway" isn't a valid arguement. I hate seeing illegal practices like this being supported as if it's America's duty to do this! Even though the idea of it is helping people, it's hurting citizens. When there are two equal people, and a country has to choose one to support, it's downright wrong to not choose its own citizen in such a position.

For each illegal immigrant that prevents a citizen from getting a job, two losses are made: the welfare that the unemployed individual now receives, and the taxes that the illegal doesn't pay.

Low paying jobs provide two things that would normally allow a person to become more hireable individual: work experience, and money for an education.

My opinion on the fairest, and possibly most effective fix for this is to enforce minimum wage, and tax deductions from wages (this means putting pressure on employers), thusly eliminating the unfair competition, as well as incentive to hire illegals in the first place.

This is only really my response to people that think NOTHING should be done about immigration, and that hell, it's a GOOD thing. I don't know about the current ability on doing this, or even what priority this really takes over anything else. I was just thinking about it because I'm going into the Coast Guard in the next few weeks, immigration prevention is actually listed in the job description . That and there was something on the news just now.

The fact you have the leisure to be talking of this means a couple things:
1. You have a computer, or easy access to one.
2. You probably don't have to do the type of work they do.
3. If you live in California or somewhere near, you are probably eating the food that they grew (but didn't get paid near that price tag you see at the supermarket).

And now for my reasons why your argument has many, many holes:
4. On taxes, heh, you should be worried about the rich ruling class of the USoA. Tax cuts for them means you(and your offspring, and their offspring, e.g.) have to foot the bill. Pork barreling, anyone?
5. Employers will just keep giving jobs overseas, also meaning less jobs to U.S. citizens. (Skilled labour as well, don't think that the rest of the world is deaf and dumb.)
6. Don't assume that they are eating what you are, there are plenty of "ethnic markets", for lack of better term.
7. Poverty is simple to solve, but greed gets in the way of this. Do you really think illegal workers are getting 5$ an hour? Some still get paid with mainly food and lodging.
8. Again, if you are wondering why your paycheck is so low, look up, not down. The upper class is pocketing your money, not the illegal immigrants.
9. Life isn't fair, people are corrupt.

And about what you said about not having enough to eat? You could(/can?)
1. Swallow your pride, soup kitchens are numerous, as well as food stamps for legal citizens
2. Don't shop at supermarkets, everything there is overpriced.

Don't think I don't understand, "that illegal immigrant across the street" that does "landscaping" has a brand new car and a bigger house than the rented one I (that am dying at an early age in) live in. Go figure. It is corruption, it happens, but not as much as you think.

It was a joke, hence the second link. Instead of charities, they should have a company that makes better made buildings, or not build below sea level cities...next to the ocean. It is a problem waiting to happen. I just don't donate to charity, since if I was in the position to need it, charity wouldn't help me, since I'm a minority.

Human greed makes this inprobable. It is possible, just like people not flaming me, but likewise, it won't happen. Initially, the cost is not even that high, it is just people will use other people if it is cheaper.

Religious debate is an oxymoron, but there is a lot of religious argument. By this, I mean that religion is based on faith, not logic. -__-;;

I was talking about the premises of a debate, since religious based arguments have little or no backup. "Because god said so" is a really shitty standard for a debate. There is no evidence of god, unless you make up one (bad idea).

Posted on 09-08-05 02:58 AM, in Easiest Classes or which.. Link
AP calulus-Easy, we do the homework in class.
Orchestra-Sleep time.
Japanese III-AP Chemistry time. Not to mention the funniest class on earth.
AP English-Pretty easy, bit harder than calculus, since more work.
AP Chemistry-A lot of work, but I have Japanese to do that in.Although, since the teacher is clueless, it is easy nonetheless.
Speech and Debate Team-Easy to get an A, hard to get past the statewide.
From easiest to hardest, I would say the walk to school is hardest.

Don't laugh, I decided to be sensitive and I was merely retracting some things...

I would think it was bad spelling. What is with you and opposites? And on the majority of immigrants, dont use googlefight as the decider of that matter. Also, read this

Immigrants
Aliens admitted for legal permanent residence in the United States.
-http://factfinder.census.gov/home/en/epss/glossary_i.html

So really, illegal immigrants cannot exist. There are, however, people living in the U.S. illegally.

Unless you live in a fucked up place, where if you have $35000, you don't have to get insurance.
Personally, I tend to speed all the time. Never over the speed limit, though.

People care when other people die because they remember those people and know that if they hadn't died, those people could go on doing nice things for them.

Wouldn't that assume that people are essentially good?
