I'll take that advise when you speak from the same perspective.

I never get pissy when someone says something obvious negative about Texas.

You would if you were here, knew something about awhat you were hearing, and recognized it as bull****.

Don't lecture me.

Oerdin is right. Yeah it might be casual racism as you so put it, but this is the de facto state of society. I tell you what, a lot of you wouldn't last ten minutes down a pub in this country So get off SlowwHand's back, he's just a normal bloke making a normally worded comment - there was certainly no malice or incitement to racial hatred in his comments. Really, sometimes political correctness goes too far!

Well, to keep it short and sweet, some of you speak out of ignorance. The only cure for that is to try and learn.

Do you ever take your own advice?

You are correct - I would not spend ten minutes in a pub where casual racism is considered the de facto state of society.

As Imran pointed out, Slowwhand could have posted about his anger that illegal, non-tax paying immigrants are taking jobs when the economy can least afford it.

Instead, his opening post can be condensed to, "wow, the economy is really sucking but at least it is keeping the dirty Mexicans out of my country".

And this is not the first time in recent memory that Sloww has fallen so far into his ad hominem arguments (a common trend in forums), that he has exposed his core nastiness.

I am no fan of politically correct; I simply refuse to accept any longer the excuses of the racist/sexist/religious/superstitious. Calling people names is a childish sin, but if it persists into adulthood then you can be pretty sure you are a bigot.

[SlowwHand]

Oh, screw you, you pious dumb bastard.
You don't know anything about me, what I meant or what I'm even talking about, so STFU.

Illegal immigration arrests are down 17%. Partly based on increased security, and partly because of jobs and economy.

That is the core point to the thread. If you don't like it, tough.
