Obama takes immigration reform off priority list this year - Page 8

Lock this thread already, you guys argue as if your input will actually have an effect in DC, as if Senators and state reps are reading this and will take it into consideration...just words and name calling. Useless thread by now. Just keep contacting your senators/reps/spreading the word/etc and if DREAM comes with CIR then be it and if it doesn't do you really think it was cos you posted your opinion on here? Probably not. You're either creating DAP enemies or stating the obvious...nothing is really coming out it. Some of you just like to read your own posts on here and feel smart/accomplished.

Hey Guys!
Take it easy! PLEASE!!Why are you guys not making phone calls instead of wasting your time arguing over bs! It really does not matter if it will come up with cir, or as a stand-alone bill as long as it passes! Do your part and start making calls!
Why is this thread still open????It is such a waste of time!

you want to lock it because you dont agree with it/doesnt see the point of it and so you want to block it and squelch it. thats the basis of all bigotry. if you dont agree with it, thats fine. leave it be. dont take it personally and go into a pms fit and post derogatory replies and imply that somehow i think i feel smarter by stating my opinion.

and for your info, i'm doing plenty lot to do my part in passing DREAM. would that help pass DREAM? maybe, maybe not. but im trying. and im passionate about what i do and what i plan to do. and i state my opinions as such. you may not agree with what i say but there are better ways to offer a counterpoint than resorting to random cursing and derisive comments.

Ok now that you know name calling is childish, then i assume you have apologized for your shallow comment in this post right?

?

But yet again, based on what you said, you are not really trying to force your opinion on others. I mean insulting some one that badly and trying to force CIR down their throat is not really trying to force your opinion after all .

Grow up guys! Start calling your senators!

having a meaningful debate on issues we care about isnt wasting time. it just turns ugly sometimes when couple people resort to name calling and stray away from the main topic of having a discussion.

of course it doesnt matter if DA comes up as standlone or attached to CIR as long as it passes. thats not the point. the point is DA has better chance of passing as a standalone. thats just an opinion im sharing because im writing a 7 page paper on the whole topic and i will have it signed by UCLA law professor and the dean before i send it off to my congressman and key senators. some people are just reading that and pulling their hairs out.

I second that.

you missed the whole out of the blue "f*cking moron" comment above directed towards me when i posted that. are you saying if i called you a "f*ckin moron" for posting something that i dont agree with you would just take that and ignore it and act mother teresa? lol. ok, you win.

So if some one acts childish towards you, then your childish act is justified?

If you truly believe he acted childish, then act in a mature manner, and instead of acting ten times a child, try to act like an adult.

If some one acts like a child and you act childish back then you both are a kid.

I am sorry for stating the obvious but that's how it is.

Now if you agree that your reply to Alex was childish and admit to that, then you have grown up and are mature. Otherwise, sorry, you are still a child yourself. Unlike kids, adults admit their fault and apologize.

OMG! Deft, was right when he called me shallow! He is deep like the ocean. You know I luv ya deft. I just like to irritate you more.

Anyway, Bruinman, I am glad you are doing your part on this. Also, good that you are writing that paper and that you are going to send it to D.C. For that I thank you.

I don't think that this debate is positive at all. Clearly writing acidic responses to everyone does take time away from writing your paper and other things that are more important than this argument. There is a point when a thread is just a nail contest and this thread became that a couple of pages ago. How is that a helpful exchange of ideas?

Clearly, you that know so much more than us about politics and D.C. would know that acting in an arrogant and bitter form is not a way to create allies or friends to help your cause and get your way.

As for me, I had it with you. Be right if that makes you feel so great and accomplished. I rather be wrong and win DA. Either the mods should lock this thread or just everyone should ignore you and let you win for the sake of moving forward. And yea, feel free to give me red dots and insult me, I am not going to read it anyway.
