Los Angeles 'is a Third World city'

It like all big cities in the US. There are people in poverty living blocks away from people that are unthinkably rich and want to rule over everybody else. It's only marginally different than most other of our metropolitan areas.
 
All large major cities are like this. There will be several housing estates full of poor people and a small minority of that community (as well as people in the more affluent areas) will commit crimes throughout the city, because they are major cities though every crime is reported and highlighted which can often make a place seem like a warzone but it's still no Rio or Juarez. Hell even smaller cities and villages have seen surges in crime, it's more to do with a breakdown of society and values more than anything else. Let's be honest the youth of today are generally assholes and people just congratulate them if they go to college or get a job when that should be just the norm.

Say what you will my friend, but there's a reason California operates the largest prison system in the Western world:

...

California now runs the largest prison system in the Western world. It houses more prisoners than do the countries of France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Singapore combined.

Shit just isn't kosher out there, especially in LA if you are Caucasian you are definitely the minority. :2 cents:

And please everyone spare me the rhetoric about "three strikes" and small amounts of marijuana and the like.
 
jesus christ WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

You guys are just shitting out words without knowing what you're even talking about. It's scary.



So where's the white entrepreneurial middle class in LA? Gone.
 
The simple and most effective thing to do is to not let anymore illegals in the country. That's a start.



It's not a matter of people willing to give their Social Security up. It's a matter of it running out. My dad keeps telling me when I get to be his age there won't be anymore Social Security. Do you know why? It's all the illegals in this country sucking the funds dry. It's not just L.A. that's a Third World city, but it seems to me that entire country is becoming a Third World country.

Your Social Security knowledge is based entirely on what your dad tells you? Are you 6 years old? Jeeeez!

Anywho your dad is dead wrong. Illegal immigrants ARE NOT eligible for social security yet many pay into it. It is estimated that perhaps up to 10% of the payments currently being made into Social Security are being made by illegal immigrants.

Illegal Immigrants are not bankrupting SS, they are actually keeping it afloat.

You all are victims of media fear.



Would a blonde white woman be able to do that in the middle of the street if the city wasn't safe???

Seriously people.


This man is an Evil Genius! You can clearly see all the pollution, trash & debris everywhere! :D Look at all the Gang Violence, damn Gangsters, My God the Tree's!
Its a mirror image of Hell! :D

What does social security do for you anyway? Is it like pensions or something over in Europe?

You know it is a hot issue that should be addressed. Now granting legal status to everyone from Obama's perspective, from any politicians perspective, even in the democrats corner. I'd imagine is political suicide....The right wing republicans would be all over it like shit to a stick, probably a non-popular move among his supporters even.

And a reason I think a lot of irish people and others are still considered illegals....But would it not be better to tax such people, as in get their social contributions.....Now I understand perfectly that you can't just single out a group of people and give them amnesty while others do not receive it.

So I propose that the government creates an exam similar to citizenship entry exams and shit.....With the express goal to temporarily allow abode in the US(they are there already) hence able to contribute to social security.

This way you would not be.....How should I put it, Be threatened by the non-speaking foreign hordes....They'd have to have a good understanding of English and your laws among other things* etc.....In order to pass this test. Or a willingness to learn, And basically when in rome do as the romans do.

They contribute to society, they get to stay in America, everybody wins. People that don't pass the test or even attempt to fulfill criteria for temporary status get kicked out....That way you remove the cliche's, Some must exist.

This then could be put into review where folks could get full citizenship determined by many factors such as employment, any incidence of crime etc. Whole thing seems very reasonable and fair to me. You really aren't going to be able to just kick masses of people out.


*Right wingers usual argument.
 
........and the idiot law makers in California rely solely on taxing the rich for their revenue. Pretty stupid especially when recessions hit.
Businesses are moving out of California because of the high corp tax, income tax etc. You'd think the Dems would wake up and realize that to get people jobs you need employers. To get employers to set up shop you need INCENTIVES to do so. Lower taxes you dumb shits Dems.
 
From the land of milk and honey to bankrupt and over-run by third worlders in 1 generation... Sadly, I think as in most things Cali is leading the way, showing what's going to happen to every state eventually. :cool:

Unchecked illegal immigration + Democrat/Progressive Economic Policy = Rot
 
Wasn't a Republican in charge of the state for the last 8ish years? (Until a couple weeks ago)

I'd hardly call Arnold a conservative, not in the least. Fairly certain he said something along the lines of illegal aliens were good for the state or that America was built on immigrantion. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Plus, he's fucking wife is a Kennedy. The apple don't fall far from the tree. She likely wasw getting her talking points from the late (most liberal senator) Teddy. :2 cents:

Arnold makes me sick. And the audacity of him to think he was going to overturn Article Two of the Constitution so he could run this country. Into the ground, more like. :nono:

Prop 13, which has been around for 32 years, certainly doesn't punish the wealthy.
It does quite the opposite, actually.

That's a really nice tin foil hat you got there.
