I'm aware of that. In fact 1 in 10 is East Asian, IIRC.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

4. Hey, you don't seem to bitch about all the legal white immigrants living here.

Just curious, what white immigrants and why would anyone care about them if they're in the USA legally? ???

I can't help but be amused that the person pointing out a missing "il-" in a post about illegal white immigrants lives in the Sooner State.

Take a closer look at the post I quoted; the "il-" was left out intentionally and you'll and you'll also see the source of my confusion.

2. No one think the former is offensive. Just we happened to not adhere to blind patriotism.

Oh, I think it's offensive.

However, I also think that I don't have the right to not be offended.

They love to point out that the two are contradictory, but they're projecting.  They think something is offensive, they want it outlawed.  We think something is offensive, but we protect the right of the person to say that.

Really, the latter is the reason the former is allowed to happen, if that makes sense.

That being said, freedom of speech also means freedom to disagree with speech, so I'm free to call out them on their bullshit.

Um I did correct myself and said I mean to say "illegal". ??? I should probably edit that post.

Meant to say illegal white immigrants. Generally from East European decent. Our anti-Immigration laws targets illegal Mexican immigrants but gives free passes if it's from eastern Europe.

Edit. God I'm doing all sorts of spelling mistakes.

Not quite. The laws target everyone equally. The enforcement, on the other hand, tends to go after, well, countries with brown people (Latin America, Middle Eastern, Pakistan, you get the idea).

On #2 - Has any pro-choice person really claimed that an embryo isn't a life?  It's alive.  It's just not a person.   It is a living thing with its own DNA and bodily functions... kind of like a mouse, I guess, if a mouse were completely dependent on its parasitization of your body.

You think that simply flying an American Flag is offensive? The hell?

I think that civilians who fly flags 24/7 is offensive.  It's also more offensive to fly flags on things besides buildings, such as on bikes.  It's being "more patriotic than thou".

It's also a good way to identify wingnuts from non-wingnuts.

Government buildings are, IMO, the only buildings that are okay to have flags flying 24/7 at.  Civilian buildings?  Not so much.

It's like people who wear crosses or have cross bumper stickers.  It's in-your-face.

You know I agree it is very in face and annoying as fuck, but I find flag pattened clothing more offensive but that may be because I find them to be extremely tacky as fuck.

To me, that qualifies as "Flying flags on things besides buildings"

I think it only applies if you actually cut up a flag, and wear it as clothing.

Eh, I don't care about the display of the US flag.  It doesn't harm me any.  At least it's an actual existing country (Confederate Battle Flag, I'm looking at YOU).
