Quote:

Pope Benedict XVI denounced gay and civil unions, saying marriage between people of the same sex is "weak.''

"Only the foundation of complete and irrevocable love between man and woman is capable of forming the basis of a society that becomes the home of all men,'' Benedict told a convention of the John Paul II Pontifical Institute today. The pope said "confusing marriage with other types of weak love'' should be avoided.

Not surprising.

He should be nicer to people. I mean, nice people go to heaven, right? Tick tock, tick tock...

Prudence, while there are a small amount of hispanics* who work in the orchards and farms over here in Eastern Washington, I would have to say if any bias exists it would be against the russian immigrants. (Which I don't happen to agree with).

Lizzibith, I am not sure I follow what your edit means....do you think I am racist, or I am being manipulated by 'the other side'? I'm not turning into a pod person, am I?

*Illegals; I'm not sure how many people of hispanic descent there are who are here legally, but I think the population isn't very large compared to the southern US.

I think all points of entry should be firmly enforced but it sounds like some people here are saying that the firement shouldn't put out any of the fire unless they can simultaneously put out the entire fire.

Border control isn't even the only issue. Many illegal immigrants enter the country legally, they just stay in the country illegally. There are an estimated 60,000-75,000 Irish in the country Illegally (mostly in the New York City area, Chicago, and San Francisco) and most of them enter the country on valid tourist visas and just don't leave when they're supposed to.

I know it is racist, but I think they should be deported when found. I also think quotas on legal immigration should be removed so that anybody who can show self-support once they get here can come legally (regardless of their "race").

I do not see how it's racist to expect our laws to be upheld. I don't care where you come from- hispanic, blonde european.....here illegally? You should be deported.

Lots of Russian immigrants over there? I did not know that. There was a small cluster around where I used to live in Kent, but I didn't notice any bias. Maybe I was just too busy patronizing the "european deli" and buying all of their chocolate bars. I can't remember which brand, but one of those bars was the best chocolate bar I've eaten in my life, and I've sampled plenty.

Mary Cheney claims that during the debate when John Edwards brought up Cheney's lesbo daughter, she looked Edwards in the eye and mouthed her dad's infamous words at him.

Mary Cheney. What a complete and utter turd she is. Can't go up on stage with the rest of her family during the RNC, completely silent while this administration goes anti-marriage equality... Who the heck wants to read her book now? Complete sell out. When we're both put into the same concentration camp, I'm gonna totally hit her with my purse.
