I hate to say this, but youâre being awfully generous there⌠
I mean, I hope youâre right, @Joe999âs position here is purely from naivity, and not out and out jingoism and racism, but I sadly doubt it. Those are some well trod tropes heâs pulling out of the shitter there. I doubt theyâve changed for years.

Well, one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar. Itâs worth a try.

Yeah, I know. Sometimes, this approach indeed works. Iâm just doubt it in this case⌠But I really do appreciate your kindness. We need more of it in this world⌠

I do find it interesting that there are some rather strong opinions being offered negatively about so-called âillegalâ immigrants by people who are perhaps only 3rd or 4th generation immigrants themselves. Donât see a whole lot of people asking the native people their opinion on immigration lawâŚof course, there arenât a whole lot left, smallpox and guns and all. But I mean shit, theyâre not exactly a demographic that anyone need pay attention to anyway, soâŚ
Can we agree at least that the story of Jesus is at best hearsay by definition, and at worst, the worst myth ever propagated on the human people? His (probably completely, or at least mostly) made up story has caused more evil, death and destruction than could really ever be reversed or made up for, how are we in a position to even take it remotely seriously? Itâs time we got our shit together as a people and dealt with religious horseshit, racial horseshit, and nationalist horseshit and made some progress into treating people on the basis of what kind of people they are and not what they might have been taught as kids or what country they happened to have been born in.
It would be nice, but it probably wonât happen until we find some extraterrestrials to victimize. Religion and nationalism were originally meant to bring people together, but we screwed everything up, as usual.
I see what you did thereâŚ
Well played 
Your agenda and/or presumption of the agendas of others comes through so loud and clear here that it drowns out everything else youâre saying.
The quoted paragraph is an implicit accusation that the Democratic Party seeks to gain political capital by advocating a specific solution to a very real humanitarian crisis.

What is the educational outcome of 2nd or 3rd generation unskilled Hispanic immigrants?
[emphasis mine][/quote]
Thanks for setting up the strawman. I wonder, does the outcome change for skilled Hispanic immigrants? Or is it âdarkies=badâ by default for you? Racist screeds will be racist screeds, I suppose.
That sounds worse that Dick Cheney!
Iâm afraid you were right. Hereâs empathy-challenged @Joe999 writing in a newer thread:

I take no pleasure in that. It both saddens and deeply angers me. Maybe donuts can fix that? Probably not⌠stillâŚ

Canât find @Joe999âs posts anymore, and that is a blessing. I was seriously thinking of changing my username. He gives all Joes a bad name.

Did @joe999 manage to get thrown down the memory hole entirely, not just banned?

I believe he was assigned to the oubliette, that âlittle place of forgetting.â
