I don't think that analogy helps as much as you think. Presumably you wouldn't think it fair if after 30 years of being an upstanding citizen, the police decided to prosecute you for a thirty-year-old drunk driving offense. And if it turns out that means you were a felon all this time, it would seem wrong for the local government to claim your house and everything else based on the fact that a felon drunk like you had no right to the jobs you've held and the money you've made.

Exactly.

What is the statute of limitations for most non-violent crimes? 10 years or less in most states? In Texas, it's 5 years for theft, burglary and kidnapping.

Stubborn ideologues who have no reasonable concept of law preaching about lawfulness...oye!

statute of limitation.....they are breaking the law everyday!

Same could be said about unskilled worker visas. If we had them in 1986, there would have been a legal way for those 12 million people to get here.

We don't need unskilled worker visas. There are plenty of unskilled people in the US who are US citizens.

Then all the illegal aliens should be out of work right?

yes every last one of them.

i have watched & participated in this debate several times. the 2 things i can tell you is nobody is changing anyone elses mind on the subject. and almost everyone is going to get PO'd

i am on the side of enforcement of current laws & do not understand the other side. no matter how much i try.

1 thing i think we can all agree on hopefully is: Green-eyed girl has the coolest avatar on VJ!

i was joking relax a little. cmon it was kinda funny

Ever had someone tell you to f*** off in response to: "Excuse me sir, would you mind putting your seat forward a bit?". I have.

well based on the way you've been flaming overweight people for 2 days now, i'm kinda doubting thats what was said on your part, but i can believe that was the response you recieved.

You are a Reserved Analyst.

i've been called worse.

very cool test jenn!

according to cnn...he strangled his wife and smothered his son and then the next day hung himself

just read it on fox sports.

i still don't agree w/ you about the extra charge thing. we've all got our opinions. but to maybe help you later, when you book your next flight ask for an aisle seat infront of or behind a bulk head, they tend to be the roomiest seats in economy.

dunno if it was roid rage. i'm really curious how they died. 3 different rooms, appearent murder/suicide, family died over the weekend & he was monday. going to very intresting as the details get released.

you people gotta be kidding. you're sitting here justifying bashing over weight people with the front of it's costing the airlines money. no i'm not a "fat, sweaty, hanging over into your seat & all the other hateful #######"person you're insulting. & all of you doing it are pathetic. if it bothers you that much find a small person, find out where they are sitting & go to the ticket counter to get your seat changed. and concentrate your hate on other elitist moroons.

Excuse me? It's elitist and hateful to expect to be able to use the entirety of a seat I've paid full price for?

Also that making significant concessions for very large people would end up costing me money.

In a way this argument reminds me of the negative reaction from smokers to smoking bans in pubs and clubs - as though people offended by their filthy habit should just stay home, rather than for the smokers to concede that what they are doing actually impacts other people in a negative way.

scott & lai- no getting what you paid for isn't elitist or hateful...but calling people fat & suggesting they pay more for transportation is. an airline ticket is for transportation of a human from point a to point b. not how many heads of livestock from point a to point b.

erekose- how does providing a service to a larger person cost you more money? smoking in public places is a health issue. not wanting to sit next to someone or charging them extra because of their size or weight is elitist & crappy. like i said earlier you can change your seat.

didn't they already close this thread earlier.-people complaining about the mods/personal attacks etc.

i think it came to this:1- have some respect for each other. 2- the mods don't get involved till it gets stupid. 3-the mods try to cool it before they kill a thread. 4- the mods are the mods coz ewok trust their judgement. 5- this is ewoks site & ewok makes the rules. 6- have some respect for each other.

yah thats f'ed up. my pics are coming down.

probably a dumb question but..whats MENA?

Middle East and North Africa

ok yep, i feel dumb.

probably a dumb question but..whats MENA?

I think the question on when to close a thread per request of the OP is excellent and I have asked for clarification on this.

when a tread gets a ridiculous & redundant as this one would be a great time

i voted american coz its what im use to. i went to a couple of pizza places in the philippines & sauce was sweet. it was okay but different not like home, just changed the flavor of the rest of the topings.

sorry to see you go HA. thanks for the advice.

please tell me people weren't mocking her yesterday. if you agree w/ someone or not, or even if its personality issue. poking at someone w/ a broken heart is beyond cowardly.

I met her in Ukraine. She was sitting in a chair and I said "Hello! May I sit on your lap?". She said, "Yes. As long as you are not my brother!"

are you guys still bashin that poor guy?

i was introduced to jennilyn by her sister(usc) that lives here last summer.

dude if your serious & not trolling....RUN LIKE HELL, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET USED & ABUSED!!!!

Red Horse, holy comoly, I thought I was one of the very few that drank Red Horse.

i found it by accident in the philippines.....that stuff should require a perscription

the label says "EXTRA STRONG" & they aren't playing.

Best marketed terrible tasting beer: Heineken by far. It's what regular beer smells/tastes like after it sits too long in the heat - skunk piss in a bottle.

exactly!!

budweiser for taste & quality.........i can't do the dark beers.

but for pure effect RED HORSE!
