"Japanese American internment was the forced relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese residing along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps," in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.[1][2] The internment of Japanese Americans was applied unequally throughout the United States. Japanese Americans residing on the West Coast of the United States were all interned, whereas in Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans composed nearly a third of that territory's population, only 1,200[3] to 1,800 Japanese Americans were interned.[4] Of those interned, 62% were United States citizens"

So much for our so called "rights!"

Rights are not rights if they can be taken away." ~ George Carlin
 
If you told people in Africa they had an 'unalienable right' to food, water, shelter, job, safety, and now the internet...they would look at you like you didnt possibly understand how the world really works...

I would hope sane Americans would also look at me as if I didn't possibly understand how the world really works. I would never tell anybody such a thing.

I don't believe ANYBODY as an 'unalienable right" to food, water, shelter, job, safety, and/or the internet or anything else that requires contribution or participation by others. We do have an 'unalienable right' to acquire such things for ourselves so long as we do not interfere with or violate the right of others.
 
You might be the one that could use a little expansion of your horizons. I know MANY very wealthy people who VOLUNTARILY...not by the point of a sharp stick which the government weilds...donte not just money but significant time to the service of people. Our nation is a tremendous example of the generosity of the INDIVIDUAL. I think we are even MORE generous WITHOUT government involvement.

And I will try not to be derisive of you, but...Ive spent years in places a lot of people dont even read about. Ive seen things firsthand that would make a lot of people curl up a ball and cry. And in spite of the horror that exists there are still outstanding and shining examples of how powerful and positive some people can be. No...you wont change my mind at all. Some sick people? Sure. But the world in general...the world just exists. Its what people do in it. Which is why this ridiculous discussion about 'rights' is so foolish and naive.

lols id love to be where you live. around here, noone is generous except the church, and im non religious. The U.S. in most rich neighborhoods are stuck up snobs who dont give a damn.

Which was an awesome refute against prejudism in America's airport security, albeit loosening up the past two years.
 
Airport security isnt very good. UnderWear Scare.

Pardon my ignorance, could define UnderWear Scare? I googled the term, with many unreliable sources.
 
The christmas bomber in michigan had a bomb behind his schlong :)

Oh wow, no.

I don't know where you side with this, but I don't think there should have been an exception amongst Americans, the whole Muslim dissent thing is a flock of ****, and a Nazi move on national security.

Fear is the most destructive weapon known to man. If you are afraid enough of someone or something to kill it, harm it, or imprison it based on a stereotype, then you are not fit to be in charge.

I wish America followed a universal code when tightening security, rather than discriminating me, during my teen years, treating me like a criminal. -___-;;
 
Not on the individual level, but on the societal level yes. A doctor should care for someone regardless of their income and ability to pay, if the person can't pay, then the government should pay the doctor. If a person has no food, their food should be paid for by the government and charities. Should a doctor be allowed to deny care to someone in need based on income? Should a starving person be denied food because they are too poor to afford it? Isn't there sanctity to life? Is someone's right to life and necessities dependent on their income?

Is this the kind of s**t they are teaching in the public school system today??:roll:
 
Yo Boomie, it's Haut in here.......:2wave:

Yessiree, the Liberal agenda is strong with this one....:mrgreen:

Haven't been here long. Is that any different than with the rest of this forum? If it is, they need to take a broader view. They and their agendas are getting summarily whacked.
 
its sad isnt it?

Very sad. Don't have much time tonight--actually very early morning--but there may already be a thread on the Texas Textbook wars. Texas has been under heavy assault by the leftwing PC crowd wanting to take most or all of the references to our religious history and heritage and most of the patriotic stuff out of U.S. history, but those who believe that accurate history should be the norm in the history books have dug in their heels.

The last I heard today the board has ruled to keep it in. As Texas is the primary purchaser of school textbooks in this country, it generally sets the trend everywhere. We can hope that this ruling sticks and the worm is finally turning.

There is no unalienable, civil, or legal right to rewrite history as we want it to have been.

Another reason I don't support government schooling.

Both sides are massaging history to reflect personal political views.
No thanks, you guys can keep your government kid jails.

Most of the history they teach us is the b.s. of america it would be much different in another country.
 
Last nite, I heard on the news, that the Libs on the Texas School Book Board were so p**sed that they couldn't get their revisionist wishes that they walked out of the meeting. Buh Bye!:2wave:

If they cannot hold the line against this Liberal onslaught in Tejas, there is no hope for the rest of the nation.
