    I think Latinos entering the United States is a great thing. This country was founded by immigrants. There are laws that need to be followed to gain permanent entry into this great nation and they should be followed.

    Blacks don't smoke weed more than Whites. From what I notice, Blacks are more open with smoking weed than Whites. Many of the Whites here smoke as much/more than Blacks, but do it in their homes and not outside. In many Black neighborhoods, the police presence is rare and if there is a presence they are more interested in catching the 'Big Fish'. Many of my friends are White (approx. 98%) and they smoke weed sometimes with their parents/relatives, but do it inside or in their yard.

    It's not that. In many Latin American countries they try not to classify themselves by race, but nationality. In these countries, it is more important to be Cuban, than a Black/White Cuban because it shows a since of unity regardless of what race you belong to.

    We are grateful for the people that came here, helped and kept us in your prayers, Thank You. People have a tendency to care about what directly affects them. Tensions in the Middle East involving oil has been going on for years, but many don't care until they see that dependence on foreign oil comes with a price. When tragedy strikes, it give people more of a reason to treasure what they have and to unite for the common good. You saw that after both disasters. The reason that many do not leave after a disaster is bad things do happen and it maybe caused by terrorists or mother nature. This is home.

    I think that it would be flattering. Maybe I'm fantasizing about him too.

    in reply to: Why are the poor poor and homeless homeless? #45837

    There are many reasons a person maybe homeless or poor. I had a friend of mine that was very young and homeless. Both of his parents were deceased and he has mental problems (genetic and developed due to circumstances). Other members of his family refused to take him in. There are veterans that are homeless. PTSD can wreck a peaceful life at home or having to leave your well paying job because you love your country enough to sacrifice everything (Vietnam and Iraqi vets). 1)There isn't enough housing for everyone. 2)There's not enough jobs for everyone. People must realize there will always be unemployment and with unemployment comes... 3) Not everyone that attends college and gets a degree (or two) will make a lot of money. 4) Sparing some change makes you feel good. Nothing feels better than giving a little change or taking a bit of what you earned to help the less fortunate because that could have been you.
