Did you miss the disclaimer?
I still think that "nation states" are obsolete and are the bane of the world This means a whole lot to me, however unrealistic and utopian it seems. Most people seem to throw away any hopefull ideas simply because it seems unacheivable in their life times... this is a blunder. I feel that by at least proliferating a certain idealogy or at least emmolating it, no matter how futile the effort may seem, will have more of a potential to bare fruit somewhere down the road... like the butterfly effect through time.
Stop hating on me, I'm part Pollack.
I re-read the above a couple of times, thinking that the second or third time around it would make sense. Of course it was a lost cause the moment I attempted it, but I figured I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, because you're all deep and whatnot.
I'd love to address your point, except I'm more convinced than ever that you didn't have one. You remind me of this guy I knew once, who loved to throw out hot-button comments so he could have philosophical discussions and would flip the table whenever his view was confronted because he didn't want to have to defend it, didn't think he needed to, said all argument was fruitless in the end, whatever, you name it.
I'm not offended by you (hell, I've heard much worse, and more personal), but what I am is tired of people that won't outright admit their prejudices and stereotypes. You had a commitment in your early post---you said a racist thing. It was a great example of such a comment, I pointed it out, and you couldn't, didn't, or won't stand by it. Shame, insecurity, outright denial? I don't care, I just don't want you playing off my ability to commit to an opinion as anger. I'm totally neutral on the immigration issue, actually. It affects me only peripherally.
