why are the illegal immigrants demanding their rights?
they're illegal, they don't have the rights of an american citizen because they are not citizens.
The fact that profiling is done de facto doesn't mean that it should be legitimized.
Hey, I appreciate having our say. Illegal immigration is a very big issue, and I agree that something drastic needs to be done. It appears we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Thank you. I would rather be suspected of being a bisexual than a rightie.
LOL! I understand.... (btw, there is nothing wrong with being bisexual...)

This law doesn't protect law abiding citizens. It serves to feed a right wing point of view and voting bloc. This law is incorrect and addresses the wrong issues on the immigration issues facing America.
Btw, I am (perhaps surprisingly) a little bit right handed on immigration. Border patrol and walls? No problem. I liked Bush's idea of illegals getting to the back of the line and some kind of amnesty for those who have been here a while.
But I will never be in favor of a law that allows racial profiling.

Robdar, you swing both ways? (that was meant to be a joke, it didn't work...)
Sorry, that was totally uncalled for. I am a liberal independent pragmatic. I have no idea what that makes me, although these days, I typically vote Democrat until given a reason otherwise.
I apologize for calling you a rightie. That was an assumption and I was clearly wrong. Sorry about that.

Yeah, I know Robdar, but I am a pragmatic. It happens. Am I happy about it? Doesn't really matter.
Now in a democratic republic, the law in Arizona is a little more troublesome then if some of my posts get censored on a private internet board.
Having said that, my issue is ultimately that the AZ law is bad law, bad policy.
Beks, you should never keep track of all the trouble you get in here. ;)

Robdar, I have no issue with you personally, but I really disagree with that law.
As for your your and other righties charecterization of libs, hell, since Lee Atwater, liberals have been called the same thing for over 20 years. We're used to it by now. After 20 years, I wish the right could come up with something that 1) Is different, and 2) Is accurate.

this is not really a jw issue but rather a xian issue.. when i hear someone say that i feel a physical revulsion and aggravation similar to someone taking sandpaper directly to my spine.. as much as i know human nature...i am still really shocked anyone has the arrogance and stupidity to utter that sentiment.. i mean, ok, if you in your middle class/healthy/suffering-free life can conclude everything in your life happens for a reason, well i pity you...but doncha watch the news?.
the haiti tragedy?
new orleans?
For sure, random things happen to good people and bad. Hell, look at all the rich people who sank the economy last year. Were they rich so they could get richer?
I have a slightly different take on this phrase. I don't like the idea that we can be fatalistic and that whatever happens good or bad was meant to be.
But
Sometimes, you have to look for the reasons, for the meaning, when bad things happen. Am I saying to look for god or a lack of god in everything? No.
But if you lose a job, can you see how moving on can affect yourself and others positively? What about leaving JW's? I don't know why it took me so long, but the timing of it allowed me to meet certain people, get certain jobs. To move on. If I left earlier, or later, then it would be different.
I am a romantic, but not fatalistic. I think the underlying message when people say that is "Take this as an opportunity for some different direction in your life that could be positive."
Our time here is finite. Time is short, even shorter for some. To look for reasons behind our life and what happens is bad if you try to look for the why and that is what you spend your life doing. The past can instruct the future, and that is the best reason of all to look for what might be around the corner, instead of what is in the rear view mirror.
over the years since i left jehovahs witnesses, one of the more fascinating things to observe, and really to me, the most important, is what to do after you leave.. to be sure, no one leaves because of a positive experience.
and therein lies the issues with leaving.
basically, people leave in three general ways: 1. they, like myself, resign or leave due to a disagreement.
Oh, nevermnind, Mozilla to the rescue!
