Evil thought, but funny as hell.

BP is notorious for oil leaks at prudhoe bay caused by lack of maintenance. And that's a above ground pipe.

As usual, you missed my point. Canada loves immigrants, encourages them, but maybe these poor, starving Mexicans prefer sunny AZ to windswept Manitoba. When you can't afford $1000 to become a citizen go where you can.

Oh you are a riot. Correcting my grammar after complaining when others mention your's you say you are the big picture guy and can't be bothered with details Risking their life to cross the boarder makes it OK? If I risk my life to rob a bank that makes it alright? They are breaking the law. period. And by the way, since you are whining about US laws, why do they not go to Canada? Oh right, the bus ticket is to expensive

So you are saying [i guess] the immigration laws are no good so enforcing them is evil? A country can't control it's immigration unless the whole world approves? I have nothing against immigrates as long as they are legal, regardless of you thinking they are "unfair" laws. It is the law, so use your apparently large political clout to change them. 1,000 bucks and a literacy test? So? What do the typical coyote's get? A lot more I guess. Just do it in the law and I don't care.

I think white bread honky trash would be more in his vocabulary.

Oh great,mister deep understanding calles me a Polak.Will you never grasp the difference between LEGAL citizenship and illegally dropping in to pick up a few bucks and shooting home?

You miss my point entirely. My Polish ancestors kept there traditions, sure, but it was in the family.They did not DEMAND school's be taught in Polish, or expect anyone to accommodate their lack of English. They understood they needed to fit in a new country, and did so. Maybe the fact that they went though the hoops to get here LEGALLY was a factor.

Why do they need to come here? Whats wrong with Mexico? Why do they not clean up there own act and stop making their citizens refugees? The more we allow this the closer we become to being the country they fled from.

Look A wipe you will never understand the grief my Polish ancestors took in this country for being Polish. You think your brown skin Buddy's are the first to experience discrimination? They overcame it by understanding they needed to adapt to this country,not the other way around. And they where LEGAL immigrants, some thing you apparently feel is trivial.

That mirrors my experience exactly. My dads parents-both from Poland where proud of their English and only slipped into Polish when they where arguing with each other.

What was neat was they where legal immigrants because they did what the US required. And leaned English. What a novel idea. Adapting to the laws and language of the country you so desperately want to be part of. I guess that's old fashioned thinking.

Some here apparently are. I read his first 10 posts and figured a one day wonder. Silly me, the fish are biting.

I thought being a illegal immigrant was breaking the law? Or do I not understand the illegal part of illegal immigrant?

Yeah thats my brother. Seems odd to hear him called Dr Janik tho-I guarantee you I never call him that I will ask about the Polish guy and send you a PM with the name/info.

More then 20 years. Tom Janik. In fact he's still there.

At SUNY Fredonia? My Bro is Chemistry Department Chair.

Sharpest knife in the drawer? You would have to upgrade to qualify as a blunt instrument.

I can see Mongolia from my house. I will be the final word on Yurts, thank you.

You are all over the place. Are banks good, or bad?

You forgot connections in city hall to lower property taxes. And a army of volunteer labor. And 85 families with bad credit and no jobs who you will suddenly make responsible and accountable. I still like yurts when things go bad you just pack em up and go elsewhere.

You have a virtual son? Oh this is great. Almost liked that as much as no insurance on 100 houses. Have you even for a minute considered what it costs to clear a lot after a total loss house fire? Or are you just going to leave the charred remains? Yeah, you're smarter then the banks. Nothing improves property value like a few burned out houses on the street. Oh thats right you will just"move on" Where have I heard that phase?

Sex is OK as long as there is no after smoking. step outside for a smoke?

Clinton was Italian?

By gar, yes.
