But not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants who mow lawns in the US. Your thread title insults all Mexicans, not just those who are in our country illegally.

Let me clue you in a on a little secret. There is nothing you can do in this world that doesn't insult someone somewhere. So get used to that fact because we live here on a planet called Earth.

You have jumped off the PC cliff in a full swan dive. It is this PC attitude that is the cause of most of the problems in the world since people tend to look the other way instead of confronting the problem, all in the name of PC of course.

This isn't about PC. It's about taking cheap shots at a certain group of people.

You could have easily posted your story about a nifty lawn mowing system without the political commentary. Insults don't solve problems. Your cheap shot did nothing to advance the discussion or confront the very real problem of illegal immigration. To use another example, you don't stop terrorism by calling Muslims "ragheads."

You want to confront the problem? Start a legit discussion on illegal immigration without the gratuitous insults.

It was supposed to be funny.

How is it being politically correct by doing even further singling out than "Illegal Immigrants"

And frankly I don't give much a damn for illegals but the Mexican people are a diverse and hard working people and they deserve our respect. Only a small subsection choose to be asshats not the whole damn people! Just like ANY OTHER group!

Ah I'm not PUMA enough for you? :P


And I have not seen such a direct derogatory remark right in the thread title about women before. I am not on Subsim 24/7 you know.

I have said my piece on that. (ref.)

I got accused of:
Being "high and mighty".
Laughing at paedophilia
Posting "a load of horse feminist crap"
Being a woman with PMS
and having constipation

It gave me the impression that misogynism is accepted at Subsim, even
if SUBMAN's casual racism isn't.

theres about a 45% demographic of hispanics in my school, 99% of them aren't illegal (i know one is, and he's an a**hole about it, when I can understand his incredibly broken english) I got SUBMAN's joke and I had a bit of a laugh about it. Albeit it was a little rascist, but, again, in my school (and other places in this wonderful town of ours) there are hispanics who decide to sell their work for cheap, my dad and almost all of his friends lost their work, which they were incredibly good at, mind you, i saw the fitness reports, because some guy who was about a 6 hour drive from crossing the border works for $5.00 cheaper.
I watched a show about an illegal immigrant family, and every time it showed the father, he was talking about how hard life was...with a 45" flatscreen tv and a PS2 in the background! I mean, I love the hispanic work ethic, but they need to stop doing it in our country, we are getting overpopulated here in the US, and its only getting worse because all of this cheap labor, combined with a crashing economy, ( I have a sneaky feeling it's mostly their fault too) and we are going down thr crapper in america, while aliens get 90% of their profits back, almost no taxes!
it's really sickening for me to see what our country is coming to.

Well that's awful. Now I feel bad about posting jokes in those threads.

Come to think of it, I'd like to see some jokes about men from our female subsimmers. One good turn deserves another.

True , the global credit crisis and international economic mess is mainly the fault of illegal immigrants in America . Those sneaky latinos lent out too much money to people who could never pay it back .
