		<description>just like you took of the bird feeder(or whatever) why don&#039;t you remove the contextual adsense on this article coz they are advertising immigration services therefore contributing even more to your so called &#039;Problem&#039;... 

here is my joke for you
&quot;This problem with illegal immigration is nothing new. In fact, the Indians had a special name for it. They called it &#039;white people.&#039;&quot; --Jay Leno</description>

		<description>OneVoice, I agree with you in some parts. Putting religion aside it&#039;s just a good thing to help out a fellow human when they need it. 

Although it was just a joke that I find also maybe me think about why we do these things to immigrants in this country. Did citizens say we don&#039;t want to help people entering into America or was it the Government saying so?

I have a problem with someone coming into this country and demanding the helping and leeching off the tax money we provided and then when they&#039;re well off or saved some money just leave and go elsewhere.

Some times illegal immigrants don&#039;t end up paying for any services and cost this country more than it should.

If a man or women walks down my street and falls and hurts their self I&#039;ll come out and help them. If they were hungry or sick I would feed them and get them attention. But if I knew they would take some much and turn around and go back to their country to get their friends and do the same thing. I&#039;d have to think twice.</description>

		<description>We are one of the richest nations in the world. Many of our corporations have entered into Mexico, and other 3rd world nations with NAFTA and other treaties to make record profits to the demise of our workforce because the people down there work at low pay and long hours. 

Then our news media and citizens blame those seeking better lives, as did our ancestors, by coming here and seeking our good christian aid to better their lives. The media and many people who proclaim their christianity and subservience to the divine master and great feeder of masses, while passing on emails such as these, demanding that we stop being a charitable
nation, and instead embrace anger toward these faceless people.

I think that it isn’t really charity if it is easy and doesn’t test us spiritually in some manner. This issue has been ridden by the likes of Lou Dobbs and Charlie Daniels, who both proclaim themselves as christian, yet what message did Jesus tell us to carry? To deny those who seek succor?

I think that this is a terrible issue, and I don’t know the answer. I know that comparing people to birds is not really accurate or appropriate. Some people have used that argument to justify stopping aid to starving nations like Africa, or regions, like Appalachia…saying that these people if they are fed, will only reproduce and create more hunger…and I can’t get my head around viewing people in this manner, as animals, or rats.

I live and teach in an area that is heavilly populated with immigrants, and I’ve never seen a classroom where 50% of the students didn’t speak English, so I’m not sure where these numbers come from…other than to say they obviously come from the emotions of people trying to enflame the emotions of
other people. 

If my response offends you, then good, maybe it will make you think. Either way, you don’t have to pass it on, just know that I am one christian who believes that my faith tries me on a regular basis to change the way I think…less like a sheep, and more like a lamb.

These words are just the words of onevoice crying out in the wilderness to remind people that love is the answer, and it isn’t
easy loving in this complicated world, but even still….love.</description>

		<description>you&#039;re quite disagreeable and bigoted, aren&#039;t you?

i sense this from reading a handful of your self-important blogs. your rant against teenagers comes off as having the same earnest compassion as an old man beating the sh!t out of his remorseful hound.

it&#039;s obvious you haven&#039;t found peace or happiness yet and i hope you do (but it&#039;s more likely ýou&#039;ll continue to be ground to agry dust by this life).

take responsibility for your loneliness. stop letting taxes and scary foreign people stress you into a seething frenzy.

oh, and thanks kensavage.com for the hot totty recipe, my cold is killing me.

anyhow, i certainly won&#039;t be surfing this way again.</description>

		<description>I thought it was thought provoking JOKE with some truth behind it. If you have no sense of humor don&#039;t read a JOKE that might enrage you enough to write a story as a comment. I guess maybe no one should be allowed to JOKE about things others might consider stupid or offensive....well there probably wouldn&#039;t be any then.</description>

		<description>I bought some land in the middle of a forest.  It was real nice, I loved the surroundings. 

I was surrounded by wildlife which was nice but I needed the room to expand so, I forced out all of the wild life for about 25 acres so I could have my space. I had to fight them almost daily but once I killed enough of them they stopped coming back.  I had a big garden and for the first decade or so my garden was fine 
It made great produce.  I had enough I was able to sell extra in town at the farmer&#039;s market.  

But about ten years after I moved in I realized my produce was dwindling.  Without the original inhabitants the land wasn&#039;t as fertile.  Because I had to buy fertilizer, I had to raise my prices for my vegetables and this angered the folks in the city.  They said it was wrong to charge so much for what were needs of American citizens.


I had to let some of the original inhabitants back on my land to help me with my produce business.  I would feed them with rotting vegetables and other scraps that my domesticated animals wouldn&#039;t eat.  They rewarded me by providing me with plenty of fertilizer and my gardening business flourished once again.

The lower prices made the people in town happy again and all was great again for a few more years.  But eventually the word got out to the original inhabitants of my land that there was food to be had again.  Unfortunately I didn&#039;t have enough rotten food to give them so they went on into town looking for food.  At first they would hang around fast food places and eat the food nobody else would eat.  Then when that food ran out they went around to other businesses and they were always willing to take the food that nobody else wanted.

But soon the people in town started saying you know there isn&#039;t enough food here.  They first thing they noticed is that the original inhabitants of my land were eating plenty of food.  They said &quot;Hey there sure are a lot of those animals eating food.  Shouldn&#039;t they go back where they came from and eat food there?&quot;

Oh that&#039;s right; they are BACK where they came from...

It&#039;s not even compassion, it is logic.</description>
