a slight correction - men think they will be cured from AIDS if they have sex with virgins. and sad thing is that most of virgins are children

I was just going to talk about this, but I believe if the person is a virgin, which usually consist of children, and young women. It's sick! I don't know who in their right mind could believe such a thing.

eeeeehhhh - it didn't increase the number of people. People simply moved around.
Go look at the stats. :-) Most growth in California is fueled by international immigrants for one.

I'm hardly concerned about it anyway. My point is... you said "Many states in the US won't be growing at an alarming rate like California, Arizona, etc." It's not like illegals are ruining this country. It's not feasible.

I don't think he meant just illegals. I think he said international immigrants. And I wholeheartedly agree: you should see what mine did to our dining room table with just a small can of paint today. She's getting a running start on ruining America.

Actually, no, what he's referring to is growth inhibitors in which fish secretes in crowded space. There are people who have continuous drip system where the water is always fresh, and their fish ended up outgrowing their aquariums.

Got nothing to do with population or size of tank, but rather the saturation of hormones in the water secreted by its inhabitants.

It's impossible for jobs to be literally stolen. People receive them from employers who may be not following the laws properly.

Hmm, yeah like the Amishes? Only the problem is, they don't believe in one or two child population. They're very well known for procreating many children.

Well, tell me about it....why do I keep seeing my deaf immigrant friends get jobs so fast (some without college degree)after applying a few jobs with good pay comparing to me applying 1,000 jobs without getting hired yet? That is total insult in my face.

It's not stealing. The employers are breaking the employment laws by giving them to undocumented workers.

I am sorry, I highly doubt it. Most of my deaf friends have green card and some recently became U.S. citizen. They must show document proof when it comes to job interview before hiring. I mean, I am talking about store corporations such as Kohl's, Target, Wal-mart, Sears, Wegmans, Super Stop n Shop store, etc., and FedEx and UPS have a lot of immigrant workers...these immigrant workers seems to have a better life than some of us U.S. born citizens who are still unemployed. They're also establish famiy of their own as well. That's still an insult.

You know, a lot of employers favor immigrants because they feel that the immigrants have a better work ethic than Americans. You have to admit, the work ethic in this country is all but gone. Everyone seems to have a sense of entitlement.

I don't believe Amish families are overwhelming the world's resources. They are a minuscule percentage of the world's population.

If they have green cards, they are legally entitled to jobs in the country. There is not much you can do about it.

Most works in dental lab, FedEx, janitor, stock assoicates, cashiers, hotel clerks, and etc. Last month, I truly hated one of my friends from church -- Deaf Indian native's reaction (he came in America from India in 2002) when he asked me what kind of job I work and I told him I don't have one and still looking since almost 4 years now and his reaction was and he replied that when he came here in US and applied few applicaitons, bam he got job working a Target. (He eventually quit later and currently working in dental lab with great pay) He has 2 small children with his wife as well. He smiled at me and asked me why because I should have one because I am U.S. born citiizen. I was ****ing speechless at his insulting expression. Another friend of mine, also Deaf she is Bolivian born and moved here a few years ago. She applied for some jobs and she got job after only 4 months applying around.

You could combine the Mennonites and the Amish, and stiil not have enough people to overwhelm.

Like I said, some employers like the work ethic of immigrants. In general, they value their jobs and work hard. Americans don't value their jobs in the same way, and consider a job something they are entitled to, not something they have to earn.
