Agreed. The Mexicans we've been getting up here are by far some really good hard working people.

the best way I've seen it put is by a local Radio personality we have here.
Went somthing like this

"Say what you want about the Mexicans but these people will WORK.
And they work their arses off doing anything you want them to do without a moan groan or complaint.
You need them to work 14 hours a day 8 days a week they work 14 hours a day, 8 days a week and dont complain about it.
They also dont have alot of the "issues" you get with alot of other people.
They dont call in sick, they dont say they cant come in or they will be late because they have to pick up their meds or their kid or because they are depressed They dont need "mental health days" And they dont develop attitudes.
If they get a 15 minute break they take a 15 minute break then they go right back to work
If you want them to shovel crap they shovel crap.
As long as you have work for them these people will work And it doesnt matter what the job is they will do it.
But these people will WORK and work HARD"

From what I've seen of them. I am in total agreement

I was visiting a friend in Redwood City,CA in 2001, where there is a huge Mexican population, which has probably exceeded the caucasian population by now. Hehe, I remember taking my laundry to the laundermat one Saturday morning - I was the only white guy in there, all others were Mex, but that was OK.

From the balcony of my hotel room, I could see another hotel being built - just a small one, 2-3 storeys. The building workers were all Mex, and by heck they DID work hard! They were putting the roof on when I was there, and they kept right on the job and never stopped. It was a pleasure to watch them, their radio tuned to an Hispanic station, cheerfully hammering in tile after tile.

In Britain, there would have been a couple of tea breaks and a cigarette break in the time I was watching.

wrag... "American" inb this case is more than a place. They were not "Americans" when the place belonged to mexico or.... loosely.. indians.

skydancers sig is correct... you can't have rights without responsibilities... you can't have the right to freedom if you are not willing to defend it... no right to live if you don't defend... No right to a fimily if you are not responsible to them to defend them.

I believe that he means something not quite so truthful tho... I believe he means that you can't have human rights unless your government says you are doing it the way they like. Which really means, in most cases, that you have a lot of responsibilities (restrictions on your life) with very few rights.

As for the gun thing... I think these Americans know, even more so than the city dwelling taxi riders, what responsibility and guns have to do with being an American and a family man.

And St santa... I am not a young man but I could kick the crap out of your sister. It's really not a fair fight. I wouldn't tho because... I do everything possible to avoid hitting women. You, and her are the ones who are wrong not I. What is better? Thinking that women are the weaker sex and defering to that or thinkinhg we are all equal and fair game if we get angry at each other?

I have fought dozens of men in my life... no women.. would you feel it more fair.... less biggoted... more "modern" if half of those people had been women.
