Tch. I'm shocked, really, I am. It almost seems as though America is mocking this bright genius who has all the answers. Well, cluck_cluck, you can't say you didn't try. If I were you, I'd just go home now.

Bye, honey buns!

I'm off for a pedicure!

Amen. Like I said, nod your head and say "yes, mmhmm."

The plight of ducky is in her own head, have an internal monologue with yourself and America no on in the cellar cares, agrees or wants to HEAR the useless shit that comes out of your piehole. Take all your ideas and revolutions to policy and keep them in Hong Kong.

Do you even realize no one in the cellar takes you seriously? Look how many people think you are ridiculous. Save yourself, and Hong Kong's reputation of its youth.

People who enter any nation without permission are invaders. And when you let invaders protest in your streets is stupid and lazy on the part of your government.

Your mistake: what you call invaders are the same people who contribute so much to the American economy. That also applies to other parts of the world such as Northern Italy. What you call invaders are really a rich source of responsible workers.

What happens when illegal immigrants are rounded up and deported? That region goes recessionary. The illegals being a very important and productive part of that economy. But then these are facts as even documented in Nebraska and upstate NY.

Again, the most productive people in any nation are its third generation immigrants. Illegal or legal does not matter. They are only illegal because American immigration laws are being promoted by the same fools who also insist Saddam had WMDs. They are even using the same logic.

Those immigrants - and those many student we have now drive from America using the same 'we fear them all' reasoning - are a major source of American wealth and productivity.

Those you call invaders are also some of the best workers in America. Apparently you have been listening to 'loud and vocal' extremists rather than listen to quiet logic from moderates. Those are the misguided one who claim illegal use the social services. They do not due to risks of being caught. Heavy users of social services tend to be the lazier citizens who instead it is their right - responsibility be damned.

From the Washington Post of 2 Jun 2007:

Violent Crime Up For Second Year
The number of violent crimes in the United States rose for a second straight year in 2006, marking the first sustained increase in homicides, robberies and other serious offenses since the early 1990s, according to an FBI report to be released Monday.

My experience with tw suggests you might have written this post rather shorter without suffering as to accuracy:

tw has taken to lying to humanity.

The guy is not always to be believed.

Just a suggestion to use the "Chinese Method" of dealing with protests in the streets and squares of Amerixca.

Violent crime up as is illegal immigration.

We'll get it under control.
Over all, violent crime is down and has been going down for some time.
Some specific types go up for short periods, but the large picture is good and getting better.
Once we get illegals under control it will vastly improve.

Do you have a source rage? It is really hard to tell but everything I find says its going up.

From what it looks like it has been going down for the past few years and then just suddenly jumped back up.

I think he missed your point. It was a good one too. Wish I had thought of it.

2005 is the last fully tabulated year to date.
There is a really good book on it, you can get it on Amazon, it is about the culture of fear in America.
