Hey Ken,
The only people that I am "bigoted" against are those with closed
minds. I have ZERO problem with folks coming to this great country of
ours, from anyplace in the world, as long as they do it as my
ancestors did - Legally. If the government were to change the laws
that made it legal for anyone that manages to get inside our borders
to stay here, then I would have no problem. But until that time,
ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL .... no different than crack dealers or the guy
that wants to fish the Gallatin or Madison with ANFO, Semtex charges
or a gill-net.

There is a *huge* difference between undocumented workers
who are encouraged by unscrupulous Americans to come here
and harvest our crops, build our homes, work in our canning
factories and a crack dealer.

And you and I both know that the undocumented workers you're
talking about are Hispanic. That's why your .sig is offensive.
If you want to post offensive slogans you should come up
with one that's a slur against the people who knowingly hire
undocumented workers. Until then you're just another anonymous
bigot.

Um, Ken, unless your lifestyle has changed _considerably_ in the last,
oh, few hours or so, much of your consumption encourages "undocumented
workers" (who, by-the-by, are mostly "Americans," too...) to come to the
US.

and a crack dealer.

Depends on what you are using for comparison. If it's simply being
guilty of knowingly breaking the law, then nope, there's no difference
whatsoever.

And you and I both know that the undocumented workers you're
talking about are Hispanic.

That may be what he is talking about, but you need to look up what
"Hispanic" means. For example, I'm "Hispanic" and yet, AFAIK, I stand
absolutely no chance of being an "undocumented worker" anywhere in the
Americas or Europe...

That's why your .sig is offensive.
If you want to post offensive slogans you should come up
with one that's a slur against the people who knowingly hire
undocumented workers.

Howsabout "Budweiser drinkers suck worse than the beer" or "Those who
drink amusing little California wines aren't so amusing..." See, Pogo,
when it comes to encouraging "undocu..." **** it, illegal aliens, most
US citizen-consumers are the ultimate source of encouragement of their
coming to the US. And here's the thing - there's nothing wrong with
that...

Until then you're just another anonymous
bigot.

Spoken like a guy who wouldn't mind having a few off-the-books
employees himself. ;-)

So do you consider yourself the equivalent of a crack dealer ?

I wouldn't mind it in the least. That doesn't mean or equate to my
wishing to be able to exploit them, though.

If I hire them, and the standard of comparison is simply "breaking the
law," yes, because there is nothing even debatable in such a scenario.
Again, that doesn't mean I would consider myself the full equivalent of
a crack dealer, nor does it mean that _I_ consider them "equal" crimes.

Well that just doesn't make any sense. What kind of dimbulb
businessman would run the risk of large fines and possible
jail time unless he was planning to profit from a cheap labor
pool ? If you're *not* planning to exploit your illegals
you'd have to be an idiot to hire them in the first place.
And you're no idiot.

To the casual observer, it must appear sad and tedious that so many with so
little to say can go on at such great length about nothing in particular
without contributing anything at all to an understanding or appreciation of
anything imaginable......and do it all so poorly.

That's because the casual observer doesn't know much about the value.....or
the limitations.....of free entertainment.

Now you are trying to mix apples and oranges. All of a sudden you
can't come up with a reasonable, coherent response, and you change
subjects.....You're not a politician by profession are you? According
to your logic(?), if I have willing buyers, it is OK for me to take a
bunch of Rotenone grenades and start fishing the Gallatin for profit.

And you and I both know that the undocumented workers you're
talking about are Hispanic. That's why your .sig is offensive.

Sorry Ken, your crystal ball seems to need a bit of cleaning or you
need to back off of the booze and meds a bit. When you profess to
"know" what I am talking about, *something* is fogging your thought
process.

If you want to post offensive slogans you should come up
with one that's a slur against the people who knowingly hire
undocumented workers.

Slur? Just where did I use a *slur*??? I also believe that those who
knowingly employ, aid or harbor illegal aliens should be prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law.

Until then you're just another anonymous bigot.

Ken, it appears that the only bigot here, is you. You seem to be
bigoted against free speech, thought and anyone who doesn't worship at
the Altar of Fortenberry. You sure have changed over the years.

Tell us Ken, just what part of I-L-L-E-G-A-L do you not understand or
comprehend?

Calling an Illegal Alien an "Undocumented Worker" is like calling a
Crack Dealer an "Unlicensed Pharmacist"

Lookee here now, not (you don't mind if I call you by your first
name.....right?), an illegal alien (not a proper noun.....no need to
capitalize in standard English) IS an undocumented worker (ditto) assuming
he or she works (which IS, after all, what he or she came here for, as has
evidently escaped your razor keen notice). A crack dealer (no need to
capitalize.....see above) is NOT (expect in instances rare enough to be
entirely dismissible) a pharmacist (no need to capitalize for reasons which
should be pretty clear to anyone but you and a few other slow learners by
now) at all, illegal or otherwise. Thus, contrary to the comical excuse for
logic unblushingly displayed to public view above, the one is nothing at all
like the other. You see the problem with using a poorly comprehended
language to disseminate half-witted aphorisms that say nothing whatsoever
about what you think it is you are bleating about while making proper
identification of specimens like yourself a ridiculously simply task, even
for the likes of kennies?

No, of course you don't.

notbob? nothome? nothere? Well, perhaps. But certainly notbright.
