http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19513374/ Interesting... do you want your area flooded with thease illiegals? i read a story here in england of thease immagrants killing swans to eat!! they got done by the cops cause those swans are the queens birds.men that have fought in 2 world wars are denied benefits here because those scum are coming here, and taking all the benefits,health care,and housing.

I think that theory is a crock. However, it does seem that a country's first obligation should be to care for it's veterans rather than paying for the healthcare of people who for all intents and purposes shouldn't even be there.

Interesting indeed. I think questions like these are hard to provide concrete answers. As far as immigration goes, I understand the desire to keep hordes of people from swarming in "your" area, taking up all the natural resources, but on the other hand, it is hard for me to appreciate the "draw a line in the sand, you stay on your side" line of thought, when all the good stuff is on my side of the sand, not yours. The world would be a much better place is there was a more reasonable sharing of resources, rather than the way it is now. Is it fair that the Arabs nations, whose residents just happen to live above large deposits of oil, should enjoy enormous wealth, simply by luck of their birth? It seems akin to me that if I happen to own property where there was the only known deposits of an aids cure there, and I held the rest of the world hostage demanding billions of dollars for it. No doubt I would want to be compensated, but shouldnt there by some compassion in my heart for those that are in need?

The arab NATIONS as in the MONARCHY are wealthy because of oil revenue. The vast majority are living in sub standard conditions while the top 5% live in luxury. So it seems that it's unfair everywhere you go. I disagree with the article because, as has been proven time and again, you can make statistics say virtually anything you want them to. I could make a chart drawing the correlation between the lack of immigrants in the midwest and their frequency of tornados. Of course it's bull but the statistics can make it look legit.

So it seems that it's unfair everywhere you go. True that. Not to just pick on Arab countries. Even though supposedly there isnt a MPONARCHY in this country, the top 1% own 95% of everything. The distribution of wealth is out of whack the world over. I disagree with the article because, as has been proven time and again, you can make statistics say virtually anything you want them to.

I was wondering why there were all those tornadoes recently.....

The distribution of wealth is out of whack the world over Oligarchy is a form of government where political power effectively rests with a small, elite segment of society (whether distinguished by wealth, family or military prowess).
