You were called imbecile for over the line bigotry (attacking a man for a Hispanic last name? You thought that was cool? Are you sh!tting me?). If I were a gambling man; I'd wager neither of those will be retracted until after you make amends. REPENT! And thou shall be saved. Poker anyone?

They said. They said. Repent. Repent. I wonder what they meant.

Cohen, isn't that a jewish name?

You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Leonard Cohen

What the F**K message are you trying to convey with your posted ditty

It is more than a bit over the top for someone who thinks our population could be increased by about 1,000 percent without any effect to call someone else an imbecile.

I did not make fun of anyone's last name.

There, people - Foxfyre says nobody has any of these kinds of problems with Hispanics. That should settle the hell out of it.

Pardon me for digressing however I have a question for Browne concerning his avatar.
Your avatar if I am not mistaken is a photo of Tancredo who takes a stand diametrically opposite to yours on illegal immigration and much else. Is there some significance in that choice, is it a message of some kind?Or just a coincidence?

No problem. You care to issue similar edicts, proclaiming nobody also has any problems with Blacks and Asians?

That would be an additional load off of all our minds.

You are not mistaken, and I am glad someone finally noticed.

I am a strong supporter of Tancredo for the fact he makes the issues involved in the immigration debate so clear to all.

A while ago I posted my strong support for Tancredo's presidencial candidacy.

I love Tancredo for the impact he has on public debate. As the self-proclaimed leader of the anti-"illegal"-immigrant movement, he has the ability to change the minds of people who hear him more than I could ever hope to. Liberals try to claim that the immigration issue is tied up with racism, but Tancredo settles this issue unquestionably.

As an aside a question, Foxfyre, re your names of "races":

- I'd thought, you Americans use the term Causasian for people of Europian origin. (Here, in Europe, Causcasians are people from the region of the Caucasus´.) Are Italinas, Irish not part of those? Or Spaniards and Portuguese?

- 'Hispanics' are originally those from the Hispanic peninsula. I think, it's used in the USA for people from former Spanish colonies as well. Why do you name Mexicans specially?

Do you have a problem with Europeans being included in the human race, Walter?

Caucasian is the common term used by most people here as a designation of people with 'white' skin from anywhere unless they are of some other race. We all know that the color of skin can only help us guess a person's race. And probably somewhere back when there was only one race from which we all descended.

From Merriam Webster:
Main Entry: Cau·ca·sian
Function: adjective
Pronunciation: ko -'kA-zh&n, kä- also -'ka-zh&n
1 : of or relating to the Caucasus or its inhabitants
2 : of, constituting, or characteristic of a race of humankind native to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia and classified according to physical features -- used especially in referring to persons of European descent having usually light skin pigmentation

You must remember you are in the midst of a wild liberal crowd. Words alone are not sufficient what is needed is a whip and a chair. Lots of luck. Rolling Eyes

In your dreams. Oh wait....let's think.....you've been less reasonable than Obill? Hmmm. Well, in the interest of harmony I'll take that under advisement.

Well, no. Why do you think so?

I was just asking because the differences you made (Caucasian AND Irish AND Italians).

And what is the difference in the use of Mexican and Hispanic.

au: could YOU give me a hint what these questions have to do with 'liberal'???

Oh I don't know. I guess because we've had this discussion before and you still made an issue of the semantics.

[quote]I was just asking because the differences you made (Caucasian AND Irish AND Italians).

So far as I know, most Irish, Italians, and Hispanics are Caucasian, as most Americans define caucasian, though there will frequently be identifiable ethnic distinctions between these and still other groups. My 'list' was intended to illustrate that the pro-enforcement group includes everybody in their policy rather than one specific group, but I suppose that was too subtle a distinction for some.

Quote:

No difference except that all Hispanics are not Mexican nor are all Mexicans Caucasian or even of Hispanic origin. "Mexican" to me identifies citizens of a particular country, not people of a particular 'race'.
