Immigration bill: Go ahead--break the law! Who cares?

[LaL 418]

guys - these topics really divide our forum. they are absolutely important to discuss and educate each other about, but the quote above in Steven's post is exactly what we should be avoiding.

let's remain civil please!

Laura, with all due respect - when such statements are made here on this forum, IMO - they should be exposed for what they are. I wasn't really active yesterday and then noticed a whole slew of threads and posts regarding illegal immigration - riddled with inflammatory remarks and images. I agree that civility is what is needed when discussing such a heated topic - but we also can't turn a blind eye when outrageous statements are made such as the one I quoted. I have yet to see anybody who sides with AddieGoodvibes' opinion about illegal immigration, openly admonish him for making such a statement. In this case, silence is pathetic.

applause..i agree....

then I am sorry I did not see the original post, perpetuating it also does not help.

Well, then I think someone should say something that does help. Watching how people attack each other without saying anything it doesnt help either. How come you just are not making any comments about the racists posts?? and just about a comment from someone who pointed out how mean some people can get? I just want to know, I am not trying to be rude, I just would like to hear why, maybe you are seeing something that i am not.

Sorry to reiterate my previous post, but I did not see Addie's post. Of course I would have responded. Yes, I am sure my "reminder" could have been better placed, but this is where I saw it, and this is where I suggested it be curtailed. I don't read every thread, and no one sent myself or Mags a PM about it. I reacted where I saw it perpetuating, and am sorry if you feel its misplaced.

ETA: I have gone to look back on Addie's posts, and i do not see the post quoted above. either is has been dealt with, or I am missing it.

It is OK, thanks for taking the time to explain me.
