how soon we forget. Trump was the world's most famous birther. But no racism there, of course!? right?

One can understand distaste for washington, globalization, politicians and middle america wishing for manufacturing jobs to come back, but to think Trump will fix any of those things is beyond comprehension.

Yes we do. Grab em in the pussy = sexist attitude. Nationwide stop and frisk in the inner cities = racist. Central Park 5 fiasco - also racist. Denying black people housing in the 70s - racist too!

Just look up his behavior on the Central Park 5 (and he still thinks they're guilty, even after all the evidence). Also his nationwide stop-and-frisk desires. None of that has to do with illegal immigration and it's very racist.

Facebook is more like a phonebook of people you know (either wellish or by blood). Next generations of users aren't going to use it to broadcast unfiltered things simply because their parents and grandparents are on it. But that doesn

yeah! The ones who did it legally should leave. You're very solution oriented.

If you want indentured servitude, that's how you get indentured servitude. It is also, not a system of wage suppression that people think it is (although it certainly is abused in that way). The entire pool of H1Bs represent a tiny pim

This happened before in the late 90s. Before the first bubble. What happened then was some slingshot effect, when Canadians go to SF and make $200K for 10 years, and still can't afford a house and are faced with mediocre schools unless
