I really don't know about this situation, nor do I know about Cinco de Mayo. But I do know that if a Canadian flag is waived around in any crowd during the 24th of June in Quebec, you'll get booed and thrown stuff at you. But maybe it's a different circumstance, as I don't know what Cinco de Mayo is really about.

Your previous comments regarding what you precieved as my sentiments left me with no other possible conclusion that you leap at every possibility to decry me as somebody who cheers at the deaths of americans, and the destruction of the U.S.

I'd rather we neutralise the terrorist's technical supports, the ones who actually know how to blow shit up, rather than their chaplain. Problem is, it has become extremely hard for them to contact each other

[quote]Good to see you back. And in my most un-PC analysis, you are very accurate. But then that is hate speech, so I cannot say it in good company.[/quote] How is that hate speech? Some nuts wants to kill a lot of people, for whatever reason they might wanna rise. Your intelligence agencies are making sure these nuts never make contact with people who have the skill and organisation to allow them to be good at it. So they are reduced to hitting what is known as "soft

It seemed to be an attack from an amateur terrorist wannabe. Lack of skill and organisation. Extremely hard to track-down for any intelligence agency, and it steemed from the complete decentralisation and fragmentisation of global terrorism, which occured because of the effectiveness of your intelligence agencies. It ain't close to ending, but it is somewhat a good news to see that organised terrorism seems incapable of even coming close of achieving their strikes. Also, the speed at

[quote]It is more of an administrative law and enforcement policy that the Feds have to write. Yes, illegal immigrants already break the law (that is why they are called illegal). But the feds are not doing anything about them (think of it as one of those old laws on the books that is never enforced any longer - like sodomy). Since the Feds are not doing anything to enforce the law, the states (Arizona in this case) are writing procedures for enforcing the law. The Fed intervention

But the thing is, if policemen can ask anyone for their immigration paper, what if that person happens not to have them on hand? Of if he isn't even an immigrant, he is just somebody born in the U.S.. Does that person has to carry around his paper at all time just not to get arrested?

Wether you accept the Federal justice system's ruling or not is up to you. Again, Obama produced documentation already, and some people on this blog (or in the street) aren't accepting these proofs.

If you want to argue we backed Japan into it, it was only because they were too stupid to realize they could have had their way and ignored us, and perhaps now would control most of Asia.
