With respect, it seems to me that much of the actual system in the US is a danger to what the US is *supposed* to be about. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002Christian Graus wrote: what the US is *supposed* to be about.

But they want good ratings (so they can sell more advertising) and love sensational stories. Their news writers can stress the points they want to stress and gloss over the points they want to gloss over. That story was written from the perspective that all of those people who were detained or arrested are saints and that the INS/US Government are the gestapo. It simply wasn't balanced reporting IMO. Much of the mass media cater to the left. Mike Mullikin :beer:

One small village of indomitable geeks still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the managers legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Microsoftum, Javum, Ceplumplum and Vebasum

If it is not right, then do something about it. Write to your congressman, senator. Get onto the local news, join a protest march. This is America, make use of your rights before it is too late. Michael Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round -- Queen

I base my view on what it is *supposed* to be about by the rhetoric that I get fed through American controlled media, and by Americans every time I mention guns. But I'm not trying to bag America, like I said ( possibly not in this thread ), we're not really terribly different where I live.

The point is: You don't ask people to register, and when thex step forward, you put them in prison. Next time they won't. Would you step forward if you know prison awaits you?

peterchen wrote: Would you step forward if you know prison awaits you? No, but then again I don't commit crimes and I wouldn't attempt to stay in a country illegally by breaking immigration laws. This leads us to the crux of the situation: The ones who had committed no crimes or were here legally were not detained. I beleive the laws in Germany are very similar to the US in this area. If a foreigner commits a crime they can be arrested. True? Also, if a foreigner violates immigration laws they can be detained or deported. True? Why does everyone expect the US to do anything different? Mike Mullikin :beer:

On the morning of September 11, 2001 two distinct groups of people boarded flight 93. One group planned on arriving in San Francisco and seeing friends, family or business associates, the other group planned on killing everyone on board and hundreds of civilians. One group died trying to protect, the other trying to murder. Mike Mullikin :beer:
