I have been noticing a very alarming trend on these threads recently. Many people, even coherant, logical, intelligent ones, have been discussing
immigrants with such antagonism and bile, that it seems as if the concept of immigration has come to represent a destructive, evil, force that wants
nothing more than to kill you and your loved ones and to ridicule your way of life.
For every so called 'terrorist' posing as anti western immigrant, there are 1000s of hard working, decent people just like you and me, who want
nothing else but to live their lives in peace.
Why are we buying into the media spin on racial disharmony and intolerance? Do we honestly believe that these people are what are causing our current
problems? Do you not see that perhaps it is our countries themselves who have become too greedy, too militant, too uncaring of its own citizens.
Let's face it; we KNOW our governments screw us, lie to us, count on our vulnerability and waste our taxe. Our politicans are as corrupt as they come
and some are crazy to boot, but rather than demand that the true disrupters face up, we take the easy way out. We blame all our problems on the
immigrants.
We (the west) are but a small part of the rest of the planet. If we continue turning on ourselves we are going to self-destruct. Pretty soon this
dangerous attitude is going to lead us into civil war. It will be between those that believe that the rights of innocent people should be respected,
and those that believe that all people who are different to us are potential terrorists.
