haha ok.
Frankly, i'm not riled up by this kid. Any sort of extremist rant is going to illicit from me one of two responses:
A) Hey, i agree, all right.
b) Wow, i disagree, no good.
But he's too extreme to be changing my mind, so he doesn't bother me. So long as he restrains himself within the limits of the law, all i see is sensationalism. His opinions in themselves, however, are another matter entirely.
What i've never understood about the argument against immigration is that, save the descendants of Native Americans, we're all the product of immigration at some point in the family tree. Bueller has plenty to say, but some of his comments do smell of racism, and certainly intolerance.
Also, these attacks on Eestlinc's comment about Bueller having opinions similar to those of the Nazis are foolish. He didn't call Bueller Aryan - he simply said that Bueller isn't far from that mindset. It was merely a comparison. Yes, it carries with it a connotation greater than extremist politics, and perhaps it wasn't the best term, but "Aryan" hardly has the same diminutive racial slant as any ethnic slur, and it has nothing to do with an actual ethnicity or race at all - it's a political and social invention. To attempt to make a mockery of his argument like that is rather petty.
