So just because other cultures treat us poorly when we visit them, we should do the same? I don't know about you, but I as well as the majority of audlts have grown out of the kindergarten mentality.

I myself have done lots of travelling as well to foreign countries. I am a visible minority (asian), and even when visiting places like France, Italy, Hungary, Spain, etc, I have always been treated well by the majority of people. In fact, I find I am often treated better there by strangers. Though they often speak little or no English, they often go out of their way to help me out. I am often humbled and gracious by just how well they treat me. And regardless, should they have treated me poorly, I would not do the same. I realize there is ignorance, hate, and bigots like you of all shapes, colours and sizes. Isn't it ironic that you hate those that hate you? And isn't it ironic that I who do not hate those that hate you, am not hated as you are?

I can understnad narrowing a field of people to search for those to have a higher probability to be associated with a group that wishes to do harm. But jumping from that to basically telling all current imigrants to shove off because they don't think and do what you want them to do is even dumber than I thought you were capable of.

Let's see, immigrants like the US and Canada. They come here after making HUGE sacrifices. When they arrive, they work their butts off to make a new life, starting often with nothing more than the shirts on their backs, all in hopes to make a better life for themselves and their children. They tolerate great adversity, racists, the lack of understanding the language, discrimination, and more hate than even you are spewing and inciting. And in all this, they contribute. Their business, their education, their different ways of thinking, all provide the fortunate citizens who's ancestors or even our parents, with new ways of thinking, problem solving skills. If you still can't see the value in difference and individuality, I can only say that I have tried, and that I pity you.

This is a VOLVO board, hence we discuss VOLVOS (just an observation), I encourage everyone with a political agenda to discuss their opinions in an appropriate area of this site (The general category) or go to one of the many politically motivated sights on the internet! And to everyone lets keep the bigotry down to a tolerable level, ok?

This is a Volvo Message Board not a bitch-fest. Why don't you all start your own little Yahoo! chatroom and bitch there.
