Valentine's Day is over and so I guess is this thread

I'm not too certain of the battle, but my map shows a pretty definite border. That might be some indication.

However, I will say that the Mexicans who are coming across that border deserve better than they are getting. I think many of them represent the "American Spirit" far better than most of us who were born here.

well, i feel the imaginary line on a piece of paper isnt really an indication of what really happened at el alamo. for one, its not clear who fought for who, were they texans? were they mexican? or were they gringos? and what were they fighting for? did santa anna fight his own people that were rebelling for independence? or was he upfront fighting the americans? i dont blame anyone for having their opinion on the issue, but like i said its history is CLOUDY at best. about the mexicans crossing having more american spirit, well, its complicated. amongst ourselves in our communities, we have different people that come here for different reasons and by different means. sometimes the means justify the ends sometimes it doesn't. but i really do appreciate your sympathy towards those who struggle.

I was just commenting on the fact that the winners of battles get to decide where border lines are drawn.

You do ask a lot of important questions, l33t. And those questions do deserve research if you are truly interested in them. I found epistemology daunting and more of an obstruction to decision than a way to absolute truth. Ultimately, we need to find answers we can live with.

I recently watched Food, Inc. . As the name implies, it is about our food supply and the mass production of cheap edibles at all costs. One major element was the subsidy of corn in the US. Due to this huge subsidy, it is sold below the cost of production. We have flooded other countries with our corn products. One of the countries we send large amounts of this corn to is Mexico. As a result, Mexican farmers have gone out of business and have been forced to find work elsewhere. Some of those farmers have made the trek up North to the US. This source of cheap, nearly disposable, labor is used to do a lot of the menial and dangerous jobs. Meat packing companies are hiring these workers- they also have agreements with the INS to only arrest so many per day, so that it does not interfere with the production lines.

I recommend people who are interested in immigration and food issues give Food, Inc. a watch. Ofc, everyone is free to agree/disagree with the show's premise and data, but many of my sentiments were represented/expressed in the show.

Thanks for your kind words, l33t.

Here in Israel we are world leaders in Medical Marijuana allot of growers here

I remember how the kiosk owners ever so simply hook you up with - or tell you where to get some - good weed on Allenby road in Ashdod. Hell, come to think of it, one of them even turned to be a cab driver. Is there anything those kiosk owners can't do?

I Think you mean Allenby in Tel Aviv the kiosks here are sort of drug dealers also the law has loop holes so they take advantage of them.....

Tis the season .
Like the title says this isn't really a giveaway so much as an opportunity for anyone wishing to to make a case of why it would be good for all involved(you,me and the tracker ) for me to invite you someplace.

I'm open to anything but unless I have some real confidence in the person beyond speedtests,ratio proofs or even profile links( you could have a dupe accounts there for all I know ) then I reserve the right not to give anything to anyone.

Also don't try to lie because then Christmas or not then I might have to disable you.

PS although I have invites to a lot of places in deference to certain sites I won't even consider applications ( except from friends ) for these.
