I for 1 am tired of this game.This is to all of you illegal immigrant anti-activist’s like Yo! and rogershapp

AND FURNACE4BRO.And the rest of you who’ve called me a smelly wet bag( you don’t even have that right it’s wet BACK) and told me to leave your country and that you pay taxes so my kids can have free lunch.I am not on welfare I don’t have kids and I am an American citizen and I’ve been married to a legal alien for ten years.And I can tell you that he’s been employed for the entire time he’s been here and that he has never recieved any of the money that you’ve paid on taxes in the form of welfare or FOODSTAMPS( HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE THOSE.).Like the money you pay in taxes is such a big deal, you don’t care that money goes to fund millions of stupid projects that our government has approved for us.Like the space program or the persuit of oil in IRAQ,or a stupid study on f******squirrels.You only care if you even think that it’s going to pay for anything for Mexicans, because Americans hate Latinos and we know it even if we are still civil to you and we greet you with smiles .We see it in every day life.And we don’t let it get us down because we know all that is is your need to feel better than us you can say we are dirty that we’re stupid for not learning English and all that is is you basically saying that your smarter than us that your cleaner than us just all around better than us.Why don’t you look around sometime and realize that we are not your biggest problem there are far bigger problems in this world pick a country like Africa why don’t you pour out your time and energy trying to do something for those poor people.There is GENOCIDE HAPPENING OVER THERE.THERE ARE PEOPLE STARVING DAILY.There are countless orphans because of AIDS.When you say that all Latinos are gang bangers you aren’t doing anything to improve it maybe it is that kind of thinking that made them that way.What else are they supposed to do are you going to give a latino a job if you can give it to somebody of a differnet race.Basically all I’m trying to say is that Latinos are not a problem here there are plenty of jobs in this country as for TAX PAYERS MONEY why don’t you complain to YOUR government about the price of gas?There is no gas shortage in this country THEY (YOUR COUNTRY) are allowing us to be milked dry by big oil.The problem in this country is not Latinos but how CITIZENS percieve Latinos.It is not us that needs to change it is YOU.

What’s wrong with some people on here?

I’ve just stumbled across some pretty disturbing posts on here. One gentleman was unaware that hte Earth wasn’t the center of the solar system. Another questioned whether or not Hitler should be removed from power, and another blatantly claimed that diseases like AIDS and SARS (originating, he claims from Africa and Asia) are designed to rid the world of ‘skum’. Having entrenched myself in academia, gimpsing such views by ‘the common man’ is shocking. Is this really the way the American people think?
Okay, let me correct my awkward double-negative in the second sentence: One gentleman was unaware that the Sun is the centre of the solar system…. as for AIDS being traced to Africa, that’s true, but saying that it’s some sort of Divine punishment is just ridiculous (as I was pointing out)

Watching World Cup, thanks to solar power

The village of Jericho lies just over 70km from the South African capital, Pretoria. But like millions of other South Africans, residents of Jericho have limited or no electricity, so watching the World Cup has been practically impossible. As Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa reports, Jericho’s residents are now watching the tournament with a little help from solar power.
