Ad hominem is not debate. Why you're here is puzzling. You're not going to win any converts with all the mud you sling.


The reason why I’m here is the same reason why over 600.000.00 died in the civil war, the same reason that made people across the nation in the 60s march for civil rights, there is no permanent cure for racism the only way to deal with it is to be constantly vigilant and militant, new generations do not come prejudice free, kids growing up with the likes of
Paleopete, J Haley, Sansuheil, Philbymon and other will be contaminated by their racism. It’s not about winning or losing man, it’s about working for a future with the list amount of prejudice.

For centuries we the wasps have been dictating who should be the better human being and who should be discriminate or even enslaved, well demographic can and will change the day that the wasps will be in the minority we we’ll be reaping what was sowed by our forbearers.

The villains of the day sadly are EVERYBODY. Those Americans who hire and pay ILLEGAL immigrants under the table are villains. Those government entities who absolutely have IGNORED our existing laws and LET the 20 MILLION illegal immigrants into this country are villains. Those ILLEGAL immigrants who have come into this country and contributed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the way of taxes and have GOTTEN ABSOLUTELY FREE HEALTHCARE while those of us LEGAL citizens who pay through the nose for health insurance and CANNOT AFFORD IT are villains. We are ALL VILLAINS. Mr. Stringdancer, YOU are a villain. I am a VILLAIN. WE have elected government officilas who have IGNORED the EXISTING LAWS and we continue to re-elect them over and over again and don't throw the mother fu*kers out of office, WE all are villains. Every last one of us idiots who cannot get our collective sh*t
together and set this country on the right path...WE ARE ALL VILLAINS.


Let me correct you on the estimated number of illegals in the US, it's not 20 million, the estimate number is 12 million or less.
Estimated contributions to the US economy from illegal’s is between 13 to 15 Billion, while you guys squabble for the scraps left by corporate America and their lobbyist, the real damage is done not by few illegal’s, the real damage to our economy is done by people who control the economy of the entire country. The financial disaster that we find ourselves in was not caused by aliens, the loss of wages, jobs, homes; saving pension plan was not caused by aliens.

Don’t reason with your frustration and emotion, look and inform yourselves who is doing what and the consequences these actions have on all of us. Now having said that let point out that even in a good economy, there will always be people who will fare poorly for various reasons relative to others, we have few examples on this board, these guys I’m guessing in their 50s have lived and experienced a strong economy to no avail, they are poor and probably die poor, I suspect even if they win the lotto their lack of capability will make them poor again.

Take stock of yourselves, stop blaming others for you failures if you are a born looser it’s not the fault of aliens legal or illegal, if your argument is right that Americans are doing poorly because of aliens how to explain that most Americans are still employed and prospering? It’s because success has to do with ambition, drive, talent, marketable skills, intelligence, and willingness to put up with the rat race day in and day out.
There was a time when a carpenter once he learned his trade he could make a living for life, these days does not work that way, one has to be trained, evolve and mutate to suit the job market throughout his/hers career life, he who fails to understand this is doomed to poverty.

My brother-in-law got laid off because his great American company farmed out his job to somebody in India. Our laws make it profitable for companies and greedy back-stabbing corporate CEO's to send the money they make overseas. Bernie Madoff garnered 40 billion dollars because our laws had no effective oversight of his business. You make some valid points Mr. Stringdancer. I'm not blaming the ILLEGAL immigrants. Hell if I had a chance to survive in another country and SEND ALL MY DOLLARS back home I'd do it to. The real villains are the employers who pay them under the table. If the ILLEGAL immigrants had no way to earn a dollar here they wouldn't come here. I believe in capitalism with a healthy dose of oversight. We already have aspects of socialism in this country, social security, medicare, medicaid, etc. We DON'T have effective oversight, effective checks and balances. Our illegal drug enforcement is a joke. It provides a huge incentive for the drug cartels. We need to figure a way to take the profit motive completely away from the drug cartels. When Mao Tse-Tung took over in China one of his first acts of government was to execute all prisoners who were there on drug charges AND take drug addicts out of hospitals and EXECUTE them. The drug problem was solved over night. I DON'T want that here. I'd rather LEGALIZE all drugs, collect taxes from companies selling drugs (cigarette companies are ready to sell pot cigarettes) and prosecute people who actually commit crimes, and DOUBLE the sentence of people who commit crimes while high on something INCLUDING alcohol. I'd like to see an impenetrable border. This argument over ILLEGAL immigrants will be endless until we completely close off the border. Anyway enough about this crap, unfortunately it will won't be solved by us on Bandmix. We need to talk about music, that's what we're here for. Speaking of music, where's your audio? It would be to your advantage to let other musicians know what you sound like. You'll get more contacts.

Wadda maroon! Look, no one has spoken in a racist fashion, here. It makes no nevermind from where illegal aliens come, they are not legal citizens, and as such, have NO rights under our law, other than the right to live, & to be ousted back from where they came. They do not have the right to work, to drive, to eat lunch at a fast food place, to go to a movie, or anything else. They are here ILLEGALLY.

How hard is that to understand?

How will you be safe with completely open borders?

This is not a situation of racism gone wild. Most of us here have, or have had, latino friends, black ones, asian ones, even canadians, for heaven's sake! LOL

The influx of illegals is a problem on too many levels for you to understand, evidently. You are unable to look at it with any kind of logic, so you continue your emotional attacks. Go somewhere & learn about it before you spout any more nonsense that should embarass you. You have yet to prove in any way that having ppl in this country who do nothing but take, who contribute nothing to the country, is such a good thing. All you can do is sit there & call ppl names. Make some sort of real, logical, meaningful statement, but don't compare yourself to the anti-slavery folk of Civil War times, because you are nowhere near them or their attributes, simply due to your complete ignorance, if nothing else.

Have you considered how many of these illegals are being exploited, used unfairly, paid unfairly, & held in virtual (&, in some cases, literal)slavery, themselves? THAT is also what you are arguing for, when you argue for their "right" to be here. They cannot go to the law when things happen to them, because they are running from it. Thus, they have to make their own laws & systems of redress when things go wrong for one of them. You cannot protect them if they have no right to be here - not from us "racists" or from each other.

Give us something of substance to back your ideas instead of just spouting hatred & bigotry at us. Thus far, you have only shown your complete misunderstanding of the problem, to the detriment of everyone in the forum, AND you have made it clear that you also think it's perfectly alright for these poor ppl to continue to be exploited. You need to explain yourself MUCH better than you have, if you are to appear as any sort of humanitarian fighting for a ppl's rights.

Straight from Wikipedia:
"Mexico had a gross domestic product (in terms of PPP) of more than US$1.3 trillion in 2007, and more billionaires than Switzerland (including Carlos Slim whom Time Magazine, ABC News, and CNN Money claim is the world's richest man and who owns 8% of the country's GDP). Yet according to the World Bank 17.6% of Mexico's population lives in "extreme" poverty, while 30.1% live in "moderated" poverty, for a total of 47.7%. In addition, the average annual income for a worker in Mexico is around USD$2,000. However, the poorest 40% of the population receive only about USD$550 annually and often fail to be able to afford adequate necessities. The large disparity between the upper income class and the lower income class is a key factor in the overall majority of workers in Mexico being poor and resorting to illegal acts to improve living situations."

So it's not just the rich bastards here, but the ones in Mexico that are responsible for all the illegals coming here. Add to that (also from Wikipedia) "As of 2007 there was a backlog of 1.1 million green card applications, and typical waiting time was three years." and it's no wonder that there are so many that don't go through the legal process. I'm not condoning their coming in illegally, but I can certainly see why. It's a matter of life and death for them and their families back home.

Hey Dinkleberry on a string, I love this man, what took you so long? you little Poser, Poser, Poser, you little want to be. I bet you can't even play a C major scale. I will see you and raise you and you best bet I will remain more vigilant than you and have tons of fun doing it :lol: . Yeah your little illegal alien friends are contributing to the U.S. economy by exploiting our economy not assimilating into the American way ya'll break the law to get here and you break the law the whole time you are here i.e. molesting my daughter, running into the back of me on the highway with no insurance, no drivers license, no I.D. breaking into our homes while we work, oh hey did you hear about the illegal aliens that were breaking into a mans home down here and his nieghbor saw them and confronted them as they were leaving his neighbors home with a big sack full of sh*t they had just stolen, this happened last year in a suberinite city called Dear Park the neighbor confronted them with a shotgun and shot them to death and guess what he was no billed so you illegals just come on into Texas and break ito our homes we're packin baby.

Also your illegal aliens cost our society way more than you will ever contribute the cost of medical care alone is more than you contribute and trust me we will be fine without you so if things are so great being a mexican why don't you pack your sh*t and move to mexico. The burdens to our society lets see, you get free health care, free education, don't pay taxes, commit all kinds of crimes and then us legal tax paying citizens have to pay to incarserate your worthless asses. Yes there are more than 20 million illegals in this country. your lies cannot change the facts bitch we are on to ya we know what your agenda is. So yes you contribute to this country your kind is an anchor to our society dragging us down and HOW DARE YOU CALL US RASCIST I HAVE WORKED WITH YOU PRICKS ALL MY LIFE you see I am a carpenter and I have dealt with reverse discrimination in the worst way if we are rascist your kind makes us look like Saints. Hey everyone we have a radio station down here in H-town that is named La Raza translated into English (THE RACE) no prejudiced rascist undertones there is there, NOT! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just a quick programming note: "reverse discrimination" = "love".

In other words, there is no such thing as "reverse discrimination". You either discriminate against a group of people because of race/religion/etc., or you don't.

Bob and philby, some excellent points guys, which will be sadly over this guy's head, but nice try. He's not going to pay attention to common sense, he's here for one reason - to stir up trouble. No amount of sensible, factual responses will make any difference, we're dealing with an illiterate fool with nothing better to do than cause discontent. I'm even more irritated by the greed and corruption in our government that made the illegal immigrant situation possible, and would absolutely love to see some of the corporations profiting from it prosecuted. Unfortunately that will not happen, the politicians responsible for keeping that kind of thing in check are also making too much money from it, they are not going to do anything that will have a negative affect on their own bank accounts.

I've been saying the same thing for years, the people of this country need to get their act together and stop electing the same politicians over and over who are allowing this kind of thing to continue. It's common knowledge that politicians are liars, so why do the people still vote them into office? It baffles me, why keep voting the same ineffective, greedy, corrupt people into office and watching your country go downhill when you have the right and duty to impeach the lying bastards???

J Haley, some good points made too, but please don't post when obviously mad, that's exactly what he wants, you only feed his little simple minded ego when you get angry. Calm down, think it over and post the same information, but in a calm and conversational manner and you will deprive him of the negative energy he thrives on. It will also go right over his head, he has no intention of engaging in a sensible debate or considering the facts even when right under his nose. Sensible comments will be ignored, or misinterpreted and twisted around to fit his agenda. The only way to deal with someone of this nature is don't give him what he wants, he feeds on the negative energy produced by anger, it's what he lives for. Anything you or anyone else posts that makes sense and is presented in a calm, conversational manner will add substance to an interesting issue, but it won't feed his sad, twisted little ego like anger will.

He thinks I'll respond to his nonsense...I didn't say I wouldn't read his drivel, I said I would ignore him and I will. I did get a good laugh out of his nonsense though, it's hard to believe someone can be that ignorant...He will get no more responses from me, he can call me whatever he wishes, he can think whatever he wants to, he can go on believing I use a spelling checker to locate his horrible spelling and grammar. Fact is the spell checker only works when posting, not when reading a post and I don't need one, like I said before it's between my ears. He's never had to deal with an IQ higher than his waist size and thinks everyone has to use a spell checker...I'll simply ignore the simple minded little twit. I'm pretty sure he's no more than 17, probably has no audio up because he can't play anything. Personally I don't care, I wouldn't waste my time looking at his profile anyway after the attitude and ignorance I've seen in this thread, I only know he has no audio posted because you guys have confirmed it.

As I said, and now have proven, feeding trolls only makes them come back for more. Ignore them and they go away, it's no fun if they can't get anyone angry and they just leave. As long as they know they can get under someone's skin, they stay and keep posting whatever mindless crap they think might get another rise out of someone.

And yes, I'm giving him some minor ammunition calling him a simple minded twit, but it's still a fact, so I posted it against my better judgement, because it is simply a fact. He's proven it again and again.

Pete, you are a very wise man and I have the utmost respect and admiration of your intilect and musical ability and I thoroughly enjoy reading your post. I am just having some fun at his expense and I swear I am not mad. I have actually looked forward to his post and this is definately out of character for me to do and I completely agree with everything you just posted I was thinking the same thing about his age. I just could not help myself from hurling insults at him I was actually laughing so hard I almost wet myself. I will however refrain myself as best I can from continueing this juvenile form of entertainment I have engaged in as I can tell from the good people on this forum and their posts everyone is starting to tire of it. So back to the musical part of it.

Wow.I would argue there is no cure at all for racism. Racism is a moral issue, stemming from personal beliefs. So I read your "vigilant and militant" to mean killing off people you disagree with. This is the pot calling the kettle black.
