"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Problem is... the US Government is not of or for the American People anymore. Has not been for some time now. The current situation is just further down the drain then we were. It'll all come to a head some day. Brother fighting Brother. We seemed to have forgotten our past.

I'd love to put this on a big sign in my front yard for my neighbors to read.  I doubt it would do any good, they still would have 0 respect for those of us who work for a living, and it's, well, not written in Spanish.  :cry

I was on last night but I dont read the Comms as I'm playing so I have no idea what was said or who said it. But you dont need a degree in astrophysics to figure out it was race related and in bad taste.

And while saying such stuff is stupid enough it aint much better to paint all of Rookdom with a broad brush and leave in a Huff over a squadie Political purse fight on 200. Or was it Rook channel? I dont read that either. Either way someone would have to be silly to think human nature changes when you change your chess piece in an Internet flight game, 1/2 of which regularly change with the eny anyways.

I think your a good guy Talon but this little "forum dance around the thing" is pretty silly. I feel silly enough for reading the entire thing.

Good luck with the Nits. Tell me later if their species is any different.

Don't worry, Talen will be welcomed here.

He will also make an excellent addition to one of our Schwarms   :devil

Rook channel sir. And as for it being a "forum dance around thing". I just thought I'd express a little bit of what happened and what was said over rook channel last night after the election. Indeed you're correct, It will never change even if i change countries, but at the same time I'd rather start fresh not knowing how alot of people feel about specific races & political views.

Thank you sir  :salute Was a honor flying with you.

4 yrs ago, almost to the day I quit A/H over political crap. I vowed it wouldn't happen this term. I'm still here. There is a way to squelch your text box as well, its called "ducttape". try it over the textbox, and shaZAM! no text!. :salute

Indeed. But i rather not fly with the "former" countrymen after tonight. I know everyone has the right of speech, but that's why i hope that political talk could be eliminated.


It has been much more fun switching countries than sticking to one. Some of my former foes turned out to be decent guys and much more fun to fly with than the same old same old. As for political talk who cares who's feathers it ruffles up.

Watch how this simple word explodes into a 30 page thread :lol
