do i fall under the category of “some people are just fuckups”???
Ruh-roh, he’s back. I’d best run over to the new site and register “Pasty Brit” before he does. Or pastybrit apparently.

Yes, rf, I do think they are typical. There’s a broad spectrum of illegals, some become very, very successful starting small business, some make a decent wage as laborers (the ones I speak of) and others get treated quite poorly but all in all, the ones I know are somewhere in the middle.
Not sure why it is meaningless to say you support gay marriage. It is incredible how fast the culture has changed on this point in the last 6-8 years. Some of that is undoubtedly due to people talking to people they know about it and about people they know who would benefit. It hasn’t been a meaningless exercise at all. It is not the law in NYS yet (other than recognition of lawful marriages from other jurisdiction) but it is close, closer than last year. I feel fairly safe in predicting it will be a done deal legislatively by the end of the 2013 session.

I got to agree with rob and lech, some people are just lazy, dumb leeches.
Being lazy is different than being a useless doomed fuckup as an existential category of being.
I’m out of here… later.
“because of the fact that the rest of us are compassionate human beings and it’s egainst the law to exterminate them, we must support them.”
You’d like to “exterminate” people you consider “lazy and dumb leeches?”

They may or may not have been born that way but that’s what they are and because of the fact that the rest of us are compassionate human beings and it’s egainst the law to exterminate them, we must support them. There’s a lot of lazy dumb people out there
Oh Dave, you are SO COMPASSIONATE!
Ditto;
The writer Peter Drucker (for whom I have enormous respect) predicted that the current college “business model”, which consists of feeding into middle-class anxieties to justify ever-more-outrageous tuitions, will collapse under its own weight. Hastening this collapse will be the fact that we now have a technology (the internet, once again!) which can make the whole thing alot less expensive.
Worth reading, if you get a chance.
