Reply #155: Hard to refute those arguments [View All]

[Goblinmonger]

Being an English teacher, I laughed quite hard at the irony of these two statements:

You Do Not Tell Me What I Need To Do

Now go away, leave me alone, never respond to me again.

I know you are, but what am I. Oh, wait, that's right, we aren't in grade school anymore.

I think, in the last few days, I have been trying to tell you how to get along on a site that you have been on for less than two weeks. If you don't want my help, fine. Just know that the attitude you have exhibited here (your general statement, ignoring what others say, general attitude) are not looked at positively here. If you continue, I will not be the only one to call you out. Trust me.

Though I am worried about your reading comprehension. You say this:

You are absolutely REFUSING to credit my legitimate fears about my economic security

On three different posts I talked about understanding where you are coming from. I even gave you two personal examples of times when I was in a similar situation. I am not sure how that is me REFUSING to address that issue. Though, when pressed by 3 or more different people to explain how YOUR JOB was lost to illegal immigrants, you failed to provide that explanation.

I don't give a crap if the immigrants are white, brown, black, green, or pink with purple polka dots...I don't want more immigration at this time...our economy cannot support it.

Can you not see how that is xenophobic. Plus it is nationalism to the extreme which is a vital component of facism. Something most people on DU want to fight. You did not respond to the person who pointed out to you that the US GDP is one of the highest in the world. We have enough money to deal with our problems. It is our market-based economy that is screwing people like you and me over.

I know you said you were putting me on ignore, but I am guessing that you are the type of person that cannot resist reading what somebody responds to you. :hi:
