Please remove then the TOS violation post the preceded it. Thank you.

How is that a TOS violation?

This thread is going to be closed if one more TOS violation surfaces.

I'm done.

I'm done.

As I've said before - it's easier to drag these arguments in the mud. It's a lot harder to actually argue the merits of your POV. Perhaps you are having trouble arguing the merits of your POV on this subject but felt frustrated and decided to go into personal attack mode.

Only 1? How many violations constitutes a close?

The amount of TOS violations to get a thread closed, is a complex formula that is secretly guarded by moderation.

Sorry, I cannot share it with you.

Seriously though, you have been here long enough to realize that each thread is evaluated individually.

It's a judgement call, based upon severity of the violations and several other factors.

Whatever you say, peejay. I remember what you posted over the years regarding population. In essence, you want to severely limit all immigration. You're a Nativist and all that that entails.

So what does that have to do with your original accusation of labeling me a white supremacist? Guys like you feel that you can just throw bombs out there without any proof or explanation to get an opponent to back off. The liberal Left is famous for throwing out terms and labels such as bigot, racist, xenophobic, etc., etc. without any other elaboration just to scare off people that don't buy into their agendas. Well...not everyone is so easily frightened away by those tactics.

you don't need to subscribe to any political belief to use hyperbolic labels. It's attributable to the individual, nothing more. Edited August 14, 2010 by Its a MADHOUSE

That's rich coming from a guy who never hesitates to make bold claims about other people's attitudes and views on immigration, particularly if they don't agree with your Nativism.

You haven't proven that we need to import millions more people or the sky begins falling.

As far as your brown people go...that is more of your problem than mine. Liberals are habitually anally obsessed with race. Especially white liberals anally obsessed with their own white guilt. You are no exception.

It appears quite clear you are the one obsessed yet you continue to project your obsession upon others.

I post my opinions along with data and reference materials just like any other VJ member can and does in Off Topic. If you don't like my topics, posts, opinions, or commentary then don't read them. Otherwise you are quite free to comment or criticize them within ToS.

ToS is per the VJ management more so than by me. I really don't care what you think of me or my views. I can defend myself as I have done all of my life. I wouldn't post them if I couldn't defend them. Likewise for yours' and others' posts...if you can't take the heat...don't post. Plain and simple.

So f*cking what? How is the sky falling? How does that justify importing poverty through mass illegal immigration from the third world through Mexico? Or perpetuating it through chain migration policy. When the old people die that just leaves more wealth for the youngsters to divy up. So what? The world keeps on turning and the sun keeps on burning.

That's exactly right. The economics of never-ending population growth is a flawed theory

which assumes that the whole world is just a market system, and that goods and natural

resources are infinitely supplied.

Who is arguing for endless population growth? Our population is shrinking with the exception of immigrant birth rates. As for any concerns of natural resources as it applies to population growth, conservation would have more an impact than a reduction of population. The African continent, for example, uses considerably less per capita, than the U.S..

That's because they don't have cars or refrigerators or air conditioners.

I'm not going to live like an African to reduce my carbon footprint, and neither will the rest of America.
