Here's a question for ya.

It worked for the ancestors of most American citizens. Not all to the same degree, but that only helps prove my point.

Moving isn't much of an option for them. And why should they have to leave? And you didn't really answer my questions. Your second comment is non sequitur, IMO. The issue isn't "overpopulation", its the fact that there's a large group of people who aren't going away. Any solution has to recognize that fact and deal with that fact in a constructive way. Cheers, Scott.

And incidentally, if nobody, literally nobody, wants them, whose fault is that? They should try to be a bit less bloodthirsty, hmmm?

Did you even stop to think about this for two heartbeats before you decided to flame me? You're not just wrong. You're downright silly.

Post #8,934 by marlowe 9/13/01 3:28:04 PM Reply	Okay. My bad. Addison and jabberwhatever hurling ignorant scorn at me, and you standing a little too close to them. I'll try to aim more carefully in the future. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfir...e/index.html]
Post #8,681 by jbrabeck 9/12/01 4:36:41 PM Reply	Of all the unbelieveably stupid questions... No money, no education, no hope. Every visit one of those 3d world countries? What are they to do? Jump on a plane, fly to Redmond and get a job as a Microsoft certified software engineer? So, how do they "up and move"? Where to? And how do they support themselves once they make that move? And where do they get the education necessary to improve their "quality of life"? [link\|mailto:jbrabeck@mn.mediaone.net\|Joe]
Post #8,722 by marlowe 9/12/01 6:45:50 PM Reply	Of all the unbelievably stupid objections. Plenty of immigrants to America had these very same problems. They managed. To get here and stay here, that is. No excuses. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfir...e/index.html]
