Has Yahoo eliminated all pasionate people in the immigration section?
Answer:
I agree. There are so many super-ultra sensitive out there that are reporting everyone that does not agree with them. I have been reported a few times for what I consider just plain stupid. I have started to hesitate to answer any questions with any real significance for fear of losing my entire Yahoo account. I stick to the safe questions now.
Immigration is a non-issue. It's just a ploy by Republicans so their issues are off the front pages.
Let's go back to the late 80's. Reagan and the Pope pleaded with the communist block of Eastern Europe to tear down the wall, which eventually lead to the the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and toward illegal immigration from Eastern to Western Europe. The US and the rest of the West wanted a free market with the East block. Well done, you got it. But didn't you think that would have other consequences? Did you just NOW realize that CHINA, INDIA and the rest of the Asian markets and that Mexico and South America wanted a piece of that free market action. Well you got that too.
Fast forward to today, you have economic think-tanks worrying that China and India will overtake the US as the biggest economic powers and blame Mexicans and other south Americans for taking US jobs that Asians and Indians didn't take. Welcome to the free world market. Cheap, almost free labor aplenty. Twists and turns down a slippery slope towards a third world nation membership.
Blame illegals, they're easier targets of the western world.
Also, Republicans effed up so badly in 2006 they couldn't put a twist on any thing fast enough to cover their arses. No PUN on Mark Foley and the high priest, from Utah, who did drugs with his lover. Pass the blame onto other church leaders. Good going, republicans, that's one way to lose your support base. Wait a minute, don't worry, repent. You've got an excellent support base, so obedient. Keep asking for forgiveness and pray nightly.
If by passionate you mean people who ranted and raved about Mexicans, they seem to be gone. Hallelujah! Good riddance to racists is what I say.
If by passionate you mean the anti-Mexican racists, yes, many are gone, and for good reason. And a forum like that should not be interesting, it should be informative.
I agree with vegaswoman and jeff.
It is odd.
I disagree with "there aren't any good questions being asked"...the people with GENUINE immigration questions are practically IGNORED...but if a question concerning racism, illegal immigrants, politics, or other controversial topics etc...is posted, you see 20 or 30 responses...what's up with that?? Boring?? This IS an immigration forum after all!!
I agree with Yahoogirl
I find that there's still a(n) (un)healthy amount of people passionately spewing overtly discriminatory questions and answers about immigrants on Yahoo!
As for suspending these 'regulars', I am not for it. Let them spew their sentiments; I don't agree with them, but they have been given 'liberty' to do so by their country. Censoring them from externalizing their discriminatory feelings doesn't solve the problem, it just allows them to express these feelings in a more subtle way.
i don't agree with your views but i agree with what you are saying..........i miss eaton ........ hopefully he makes a new account and returns......the ones in which are implying violence such as shooting people becasue of thier backgrounds or race i think need a visit from the police. they have issues. but i also normally get reported daily and ithink the report system is severly abused.and about answering the "real immigration questions........if i was a lawyer i wouldn't be here. i had a really bad experience with immigration ......they banned my husband for 10 years after he crossed the border illegally .....its not that we haven't tried to do it right ........oh_well ........we keep our fingers crossedbut i do agree it needs to have limitations.......oh_hell
Illegal immigration is the most serious issue out there. The damage done by illegals is staggering.
