I see the article, but you claimed it was in the OT article.
No, I did not. I said earlier that I gleaned it from other reading on the topic. I also questioned why you were so stuck with the silly notion that you had to remain pure in your knowledge by reading just the one article.
Apparently the act of staying informed for you is like monogamy or something. You only sleep with one source.
Unlike you im not obssessed with such topics as to glean everything about them, if you are bringing another source then put it forward before using it as argument.
Obsession now stands for reading more than one article?
Since you've commented in this thread at least a dozen times, your obsession is already on display. So what you must mean is that you don't want your obsession to be informed. You prefer an ignorant obsession.
LOL, only in your crazy head.
No, that's clearly what you meant.
I'm talking about illegals and americans, and you immediately jump into hispanics vs whites, because clearly only whites are real americans and all latinos are illegals.
Yes, most of them are either illegal or the progeny of illegals. That's even more true in southern California.
And the progeny, which are born and raised in America and American citizens are more apathetic than those who arent, which is my point, immigrants dont take shit for granted.
Well, that's nonsense. Illegals don't come here to be citizens. They come here to work and earn money. Many stay and become citizens, but they don't do so out of any love for their country. They do so because they can continue earning more. That has nothing to do with citizenship.
Im not picking up the race bait.
I didn't mention race. I was talking about culture. A majority of those Hispanics in Huntington Park identify as white. (They're not, but they do identify as such.)
But what you're really saying to me is that you can't think critically about some topics. They are taboo to you. So you don't know how to think about them. You allow other people to do your thinking about them for you.
Also lol at caring about the citizen angle, you are claiming that US born and raised hispanics arent true citizens.
Why would they be if they haven't been assimilated and live around a lot of other Hispanics who are fresh over the border? They don't vote when they get citizenship. They don't volunteer. They don't have a love of country.
Being a citizen in law doesn't make them citizens at heart.
No, the ones that come from bottom are harder working than the one that gets handed everything, thats how every fucking empire has risen and then collapsed.
LOL ! Every empire? From the Manchus to the Mongolians? From the Brits to the Aztecs? You sound like a very confident historian who doesn't have a clue.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your little history of the world needs some work. Empires have fallen for all kinds of reasons, including getting swamped demographically.
Compare the Americans that grew in the great depression vs the Americans of today, if you cant see people are softer today you are delusional.
Of course they are softer. The whole world is softer. But softness is derived from wealth and brains, and wealth and brains are the key to strength. The Brits were softer than many of the people they ruled in the nineteenth century, but it didn't matter; they still ruled them.
Nope, its about recognizing people that works hard to improve their life.
People also cheat to improve their lives. They lie and steal to improve their lives. They do all kind of wrong and illegal things to improve their lives.
You clearly dont know Mexico, and you clearly dont know where these people came from. Even in poverty, their kids are in a far better position than the parents who immigrated.
Mexico is not that poor, son, so you should file this away with your claim that all empires die from softness. It's not a shitty place. People aren't dying from starvation down there. In fact, Mexico is one of the most obese countries in the world. Life expectancy is moderately high. It's a mid-tier country with pockets of real poverty and problems with maintaining state control.
Yes, they are spoiled, thats why you will find more patriotism in the illegal parents than the second gen sons who may even despise the nation, because they dont know how shitty life can be in Mexico or other places.
Again, you're just silly to claim that Mexico is a shitty country. It's not. Travel to some countries in Central America or the Caribbean and you'll discover what real shitty places are like.
