    And private entities should not be allowed to hold taxpayers hostage either, but they do. In fact, many make record profits from our bailouts, loophole their way to 0 tax liability or worse, are now recognized as individuals to buy politicians as well. Yep, sounds fair to me.

    I was no fan of the Bush Bailout or the Obama Stimulus for the obvious give-aways to non-job promoting measures, but seriously people need to recognize the *mitigation* that has happened due to them. If that isn't clear enough to a reader, perhaps they need to all get together and create the kinds of organizations that create employment and quit griping about what others are doing.

    Unions represent far lots more voters than CEOs, but I'll grant you that if it makes you feel there's some kind of equity at play. Of course if the Union is a synonym for profitable business then I guess you should be also criticizing that behavior on all sides.

    Yes. Teachers should just shut up and accept that they'll never be as entertaining to watch as linebackers or QBs, so therefore they'll never have the right to demand fair returns for their work. Maybe they should just stay satisfied with their students miraculously going on to bigger and better things and accept that as gratification enough.

    Well, if increase is the trigger, then the GOP should have been up in arms when the czars ballooned from 9 under Clinton to 33 under W. That didn't happen, did it? So, the trigger is something other than the slight increase and we both know that. Let's at least try and be honest about it.

    In Spain I got to see multiculturalism at work in the strictest and probably most sensical way: multiple cultures coexisting and tolerating each other, including that culture (Spanish) which is obviously the host. For the most part that was fine and those Africans, Arabs, etc that I saw seemed to be integrated to the comfort level that they felt comfortable with doing so, and (save for those that are intolerant anyway) Spanish society seemed to be enriched the more so.
    Its obvious when immigrating to a new nation, any large community of immigrants should happily accept they are not moving to a country like their own. Therefore they should at least try to integrate- but this does not mean they have to abandon their cultural identities. In this day and age, its really silly for people to complain about diverse societies with the hate and vitriol they use while at the same time hiding that hate in guise of some kind of nationalistic defense that doesn't make much more sense than their own irrational fear of different people.

    Indeed there are:

    China Love Match
    Asians4asians
    Indian Dating
    Italianpeoplemeet
    Not forgetting of course:
    Russianwomen
    These things exist already.
    Where you're confused is in the idea that 'white' people identify themselves as white. They don't.
