Quote from Rearden Metal:
I wasn't implying that Middle Eastern immigrants to the U.S. deserve any special treatment. They don't. I'm an IDF veteran, not a cultural relativist moonbat.
I just saw the whole episode as an opportunity to drive home the point I've been trying to explain here for years. Widely held misconceptions bother me, which is why I have the hobby of attempting to correct them.
Fair enough, but my point is this. People who CHOOSE to live in America need to assimilate to OUR culture. Should they CHOOSE to have a preference for THEIR culture, then they can go back where THEIR culture is the norm.
One more thing. It would be nice if at some point college kids actually grow the fuck up. Must we run through this silly 'we are the world" nonsense with every fucking class, year after year, decade after decade! I hate to be the one to break it to the kiddies, but we ain't all gonna' get along....ever. Deal with it! And I know it may come as a shock to the children, but for a society to work, there actually have to be rules/laws which are enforced by people given the authority to enforce those rules. While there are certainly those enforcers that will abuse the power given to them we still must have the laws, regardless.
I'm not some lilly white guy that's never been in trouble. I've had a pair of cuffs on and spent more than a night behind bars. While the crime(s) committed were stupid on my part, I was smart enough to co-operate once arrested.
