I'm talking more about how an overwhelming majority of Texans don't want that load of horseshit.

Besides...that's if we let you. If Texas ever wants to rumble, I'm fine with turning the "Lone Star State" into the "Lone Star Military District".

Country would never allow it, besides the United States doesn't have the heart for full scale reconstruction on its own territory.

If the historical Reconstruction should tell anyone anything it most certainly is that.

Well it's certainly a handicap if you ever plan on running for office.

How long before someone suggests that this kind of crime should lose you your citizenship, do you reckon?

Because as we all know immigrants who come to this country will perfectly master English.

Except that isn't like that in the real world at all.


Apparently my Orthodox Jewish friend who speaks Hebrew fluently (lived in Israel for a few years) is not integrated, oh and I who speak Chinese (though not fluently) am not integrated. Oh and my Hispanic friend who speaks Spanish fluently is not integrated.

In America? Is French or something other than English suddenly our national language or something?

Im more interested in the economical situation of his parents


You act like him knowing Arabic makes him not integrated to society. I can say a few things in Latin and I'm always trying to teach myself more of the language, am I suddenly less of an American?

And of course all those troops would be forced to withdraw since they are after all US troops, so any and all money that they get from that will be lost.

Your Jewish friend isn't integrated.


Really? Her parents where born here in the US. She grew up here and spent a few years abroad. So how is she not integrated when she spent her entire childhood and most of her adult life here in the US?

Give up because some Muslim women wear hijab? Some do, just like some Jewish men wear yarmulkes. Also like Jewish men, not all of them do. It isn't actually in any way required by Islam. Hell, in some Islamic majority countries the majority of Muslim women don't wear hijab. No, your argument was that all Muslims are exactly the same. I'm telling you that that is idiotic beyond belief.

If yes, please Leave the country and go to your sanctuary.

If not, no.

Yes, France taught me how to atheist.

Guess I'll go back to France...where I've never steeped foot on once in my life...

We don't even have an official language. People are multilingual. Speaking another language does not mean you cease to be an American. We're a nation of immigrants. Literally the only ethnic group that didn't immigrate here sure as hell didn't speak English as a native language. Most of the founding fathers were multilingual. You're calling people traitors for being knowledgeable.

And Chechens speaking Arabic who were living under Russia for 6 centuries but bear no resemblance to Russians are integrated how?

Being born somewhere isn't a voucher to say you're integrated.


Do they only speak Arabic? Have they lived in a major city, gone to public school, gone to college, gotten a degree in engineering, etc? You claimed she was not integrated solely on the fact that she speaks Hebrew (never even wondering if she speaks English, which she does it is her first language).

Given that Neutraligon's friend is likely not:
- Someone who was brought into the US by violent military conquest
- Someone who doesn't know English
- Someone who is a member of a violent independence-seeking insurgency

your comparison to Chechnya is bizarre and nonsensical.
