Read the definition of bigot and then explain how the sentence above doesn't fit that definition, Hans. Bigot (n.) One whose attitude or behavior expresses intolerance, as because of race, religion, politics, etc. (Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary) By the way, "bigoted" is spelled with a single "g." Read my lips: Race is irrelevant. Repeating that is not going to change anything, Hans. Race issues are everywhere in this country today and are not going to go away simply because you want to bury your head in the sand and act like they don't exist. While we're discussing definitions (and since you like to throw the word "racism" around so much). Racism (n.) An irrational belief or advocacy of the superiority of a given group, people, or nation, usu. ones own, on the basis of racial differences having no scientific validity. (Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary) Kindly show me where I've expressed a belief in or advocated the superiority of a group in this discussion, Hans. Simply discussing a race-related issue in a newsgroup is not racism. As such, your charge of racism is as patently false as your charge of bigotry. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ You have repeatedly heralded American workers at the expense of the immigrant population, Dwight--and irrationally so I might add. As a last word on this topic--because you seem incapable of a well-rounded discussion on it, let me say that the situation as it exists for *everyone*--not just employees but the corporations alike, in this country purely sucks. I say there's more likelihood that an non-US born person will do a crappy job; and you say there's more likelihood that a US-born person will do a crappy job. That given, Dwight, then *WHY* praytell are there so many non-US born people doing the jobs? You want to say it's "because of wages." DUH!!!!! I am speaking from the whole picture. We can all stand around all we want and say, "if the wages were raised, US-born people would do the jobs." It ain't gonna happen any time soon. You have been the one in this exchange that has been unreasonable, over judgmental, spiteful, hateful and quite impatient with the views of others--so much so that the gist of your whole contribution has been to condemn the way others believe while offering no real constructive contribution of your own. Have you offered any solutions? Have you reasoned any explanations for it being the way it is? Have you once, just once even *tried* to understand anything anyone else is saying? NO. You have done nothing but tell me that I think Americans are garbage. I have provided clear reasons for why I believe the statistics would show that US-born people would be less likely to perform the jobs that a current immigrant population will and are performing. You've rebutted with no evidence to the contrary of what I am saying. You have rebutted also with nothing but indignation and name calling--or very near it--but haven't provided anything substantial to tell me that those news reports, radio talk-shows, news magazine shows, Congress, and real-life conversations I've been involved with pertaining to this issue, don't exist. Like I said, we can be indignant all we want. But it won't change what's going on. We can whine all we want. But it won't change what's going on. All we can do is be mindful of the situation as it is and create contingencies for ourselves as we things get too close to home and we start being threatened. You act like I've never once been affected by the situation, Dwight. And, I have--a few times. But, each time I have done what I had to do to get through it. And, starting over again is not beyond me. It's become a sporting event for me now. Take your righteousness and shove it. Right where the sun don't shine. But, before you do...why don't *you* think of some constructive ways to deal with the situation instead of all the whining and finger pointing you've been doing. Kim W5TIT |
