Sorry to hear you are leaving. While I don't always and haven't always agreed with your viewpoints, I never had any personal animousity toward you.

I can somewhat understand your hurt feelings, but you are a legal permanent resident and have as much right to be here as anyone else.

I grew up in the Cold War with immigrant grandparents from the Soviet Union and heard many derogatory things directed towards my mom's people by my fellow Americans and in the media. I never took it personally or held grudges. It was the current events of the era and is now past history. What more can I say?

Hopefully you will reconsider and return. Take care.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

Pedro,

sorry to hear you've decided to leave, but I understand that decision given the way discussion has gone recently. Once things cool down or rather if they do, I hope you'll change your mind, though. I will miss you if you don't come back.

Prejudice sucks. In solidarity. (F)

Pedroh, I too am sorry to see you go, open discussion is good and you have contributed to that but it is entirely up to you if you feel it is too much at times. Human nature is strange and sometimes hurtful without meaning to be and I am sorry if you have been offended.

Whatever you decide, good luck to you and your wife and may you always have sunshine in your life :thumbs:

pedroh... i have to agree with munchiekins...

i don't know whatever happened to human kindness and courtesy. we may not all be culturally alike, but - we are still human... and each human being on the face of this earth deserves a little respect and empathy. that doesn't mean that i will always agree with you or anyone else... i have my own ideas and opinions... but, i can respect you for your own ideas and opinions... your feelings.

it seems to me that as i get older... the world gets LESS kind... LESS tolerant... LESS understanding. if anyone thinks that prejudism andi gnorance was worse when their parents and grandparents time... i personally feel that they are COMPLETELY wrong. i see that it gets worse every day... and i feel sorry for my fellow man... that they cannot always see the good in people... despite color, religion, culture or gender.

not all people are like that... but, a good portion.

pedroh, i wish you the best in life.. and for always... i think that VJ would lose a valuable member.... and that the mexican people will lose a valuable voice here on this forum.

*hugs*

May God bless you in your endeavors.

Lynne

Pedro, you and I have been friends on here a very long time.

I don't know who has hurt you but - you gotta know that this place is full of good people.

And you gotta know that a lot of the concern over this issue is about how the bad press 'brown people' are getting is gonna affect all of us.

I'm not in your shoes so I don't know how you are feeling. But I hope you can get past this.

This is just an excuse b/c you want to spend more time playing WoW, right? lol. Surriously, I hope you get over it soon, and come back swangin'. You know there's many people got your back here (subiendo la marea!), and well, we're counting on you to get ours too. Don't leave us dude! But just out of curiosity, who's the VP, anyway?
