Implacable is calling other people arrogant?

That's funny indeed!

Congratulations, you just proved yourselves worthless.

Whats that saying "Better to be thought a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt"

Here's an analogy...

If for some reason you did not get paid this week (especially 'if' someone alerted you before-hand)... I'm sure you could survive.... in the 'big picture' it would only be a dent to your annual salary... It would be a different story altogether to deal with that problem on a long term basis... pretty soon you would have to change your lifestyle... etc...

The 'One day' boycott was meant to show how many people are directly affected by this issue. It was never meant to be a 'financial lock-out' on the U.S. economy....

here is an analogy - us boycotts mexican goods - us boycotts mexico for vacations - no more tijuana - no more cancun - cozumel etc....... would have far more impact than anything the illegal immigrants who consume US dollars would.

[QUOTE=implacable44]as opposed to you ? I assume you live in america or not ? so this sweeping generalization would apply to you to ?
rather we should be mexican and presume that this land is ours to begin with and we are not immigrants but migrants and let the reconquista begin ? How arrogant is that? You want the reconquista -then man up and come and try to take it - let the cries of Santa Anna begin and see if you are man enough to reconquistar? don't walk around assuming this is your land - calling yourself migrants - with a hypocritical president with hypocritical immigration policies ( not that anyone wants to go live in that corrupt hole anyway). that is arrogance and ignorance.

Dont hate americans because we are the baddest of the bad asses on this planet.[/QUOTE]

Who's talking about a "reconquista?" Your assumptions about who I am make you ignornat, but if you must know, Im Native American and not Mexican. And exaggerating your own importance to the rest of the world makes you an arrogant American asshole. BTW, I don't hate America/Americans--the rest of the world does.

We don't need love, just respect. People respect power and that we
have in spades. We don't need nor do we show arrgance to the rest of
the world. But we should show them we will not be tread upon just to
make them feel good toward us. We tried that crap in VN and a million
or so people died by the hands of a government who shows nothing in
the way of care for anyone but themselves, just like the terrorist we
are fighting now. Screw those that believe in reconquista. We kicked
butt then and gave Mexico back much of the land we took over, they
should be grateful for small favors.

pay attention tonto - the majority of these folks are spewing reconquista -- like the employee of UTA up here who spews his garbage talkng about race wars and reconquista - how this is their land -

i dont pretend to know anything about you kemosabe - i am native american myself -- part anyways about 1/5th.

why ? the rest of the world comes running to us to fix their problems and then blames us for everything else. The USA is in a lose - lose situation. Help someone out - people whine - dont help and people whine. Get a grip.

And in a position of power, you expected anything less?

This country is comprised of 380+ million people. We cant even agree on our OWN leadership, yet you think that 6+ billion will love America unconditionally?

Who needs a grip here?

you need a grip -- if you know that is how it is - if you are truly aware of the reality of the beast then STHU. You interpret it as arrogance - that is your perception. IT is not a reality.

With cogent arguments like yours, who could argue?
