I've been out for awhile, but I have to comment on this.Quote:

And Paulie: it's a vicious circle... Palestinian terrorists kill some Israeli's, the Israeli's kill some Palestinians in revenge (most of the time it's a 10 to 1 ratio, but anyways).
You only call the Palestinians terrorists, I call them both terrorists...
Would you call yourself a terrorist if Canada would invade the US by building a wall on its territory, and you would go to Canada to kill some Canadians? Or would you call yourself a freedom fighter...?
My first thought here was why is a wall between the United States and Mexico relevant in comparison to Israel and Palestine? The last time I checked we were not at war with Mexico and Mexican citizens were not conducting suicide bombing attacks. They might be trying to kill us with illegal drug overdoses but not terroristic acts.
Then I started thinking more about the wall example between United States and Mexico, and I deciced that I completely and vehemently oppose the proposition of any wall separating the United States from Mexico.
If you look at the cold hard facts about this, you will come to realize that if a "serious" wall was built between the U.S. and Mexico that would mean a drastic curtailing of illegal immigrants working as migrant farmers in the U.S. Thus U.S. citizens would have to be hired to fill these positions at a much higher income rate. The workers would then form a Migrant Farmers Union demanding health care and other benifits, which in trun would drive the price of produce out the roof. I for one do not want to pay 5 - 10 bucks for a head of lettuce IMHO
