Yes. It is how America became a country

In the United States a citizen has a right to voice their opinion. This is called Freedom of Speech and unfortunately you cannot do much about it.  If that person were to infringe on your rights, or commit an act of violence because of your nationality/creed it would be a hate crime.  The best thing to do is to keep on going and ignore their hateful comments.  If you let an idiot affect you, what have you become?  an idiot.  So don't let these people get beneath your skin because thats what they want.  If you take steps to silence this person, well that would be infringing on their rights, so its best to just ignore them and move on.

It is standard operating procedure to vilify anyone who opposes you. But since you have to argue for the other side, try saying it is a necessary label because these countries threaten the very freedom the country is founded on.

Yes I believe an owner operator has the right to refuse service and remove potential costumers. This is called Free Enterprise. You can choose to serve whomever you want within reason, (debatable in the courts) and there is the other side as well. The client can go elsewhere. It's your choice as to who you want to patronize with your business. Two points here: some time ago I was asked to leave an establishment and refused the employee's demand. He then took away his service and I had no choice but to leave. The following years the establishment across the street gained some thousands of dollars in business from me and the other lost.  Second point; a convenience store operator asked a pointed question about my property inferring that I had stole from her. I then laid out her product I had picked up to buy and left them with her to put away. I left telling her that the insult was not to my liking and I've never gone back. \n  It's Free Enterprise. You and I can choose where we buy our products and the owner operators are free to discriminate to their own detriment.

Many groups self-segregate. Multiculturalism proposed that all cultures are equal, so immigrants were under no obligation to assimilate. I think all immigrants should have to sign an explicit contract as a condition of entry agreeing to support the dominant culture, to abide by its rules, to encourage their children to join the police or army, etc. If, say a Brit settles temporarily in Saudi Arabia, there may be a case for living in an alcoholic ghetto, but if they wish to reside permanently then they need to sign up for an Islamic dress code, public executions, etc.

There is controversy. I know someone who had to teach the foreigner who was taking her job what to do. It's rough up here in the Mitten, but how can one protest against something going on overseas when it's easier to protest what's going on at home?\n\nAfter all, we need jobs here NOW. Illegal immigrants are taking away those chances. We also need the jobs overseas, but we can't be immediately affected by them (in terms of, if the owners said they'll come back, they won't be back for months or maybe years.)

Yes\n\nThe bottom line is that all countries, in this supposed civilized world, have no right to occupy/invade another country unless there is a threat.... That threat has to be proven and UN approval must be granted. This is exactly why we, and many other countries, helped Kuwait when Iraq occupied/invaded them.\n\nOne country has no right to decide on its own to suddenly go liberate another country. That is common sense in a civilized progressive world. That (and I am not trying to compare Bush to Hitler) is exactly what Germany did in WWII when HItler kept occupying one country after another. The world recognized that as wrong.\n\nAlso as far as being charged with war crimes... yes.\n\n* Bush has violated the geneva convention \n* Bush has used redension to knowingly use torture.\n* Bush is holding prisoners without allowing the Red Cross to have access to some of them and also not releasing some of their identities.\n\nSorry if some of us Americans don't want to hear that but all of that is fact and are clearly war crimes.\n\nI also believe that assassinating ppl in Iraq and killing 100,000s shoud be considered a war crime in this circumstance because Bush had no right to invade that country. He invaded on false-pretense. BUT that part is just my personal belief and I am not sure where that falls under any war crimes act.\n\nAlso Answerman, don't fall into the 'congress voted for it' trap. They want you to believe that all who voted to GIVE BUSH AUTHORITY IF NECESSARY was saying it was ok to go to war. I've seen many interviews with politicians who stated they never would have believed in 100 years that Bush was going to go into Iraq without UN approval. They got tricked into falling for his scam.\n\nPpl should learn their history: Vietnam, Korea, Bosnia were not occupations. They were either forms of containtment (that is the political term for the freeze on the spreading of communism) or humanitarian acts.

Ditto to hobbit.  If it's worth it enough, you'll do it right. You're welcomed to come, but do it legally. You are not above the law. You cannot come here illegally and expect us to look the other way "because you're only here to work hard at the jobs no one else wants," And then turn around and demand a living wage or unionize to bully your way to a better salary like the farmworkers and the hotelworkers have done. Do you want to be above the law? Than you can't expect the law to be on your side when it would work to your benefit.

Yes, that is the risk you take to exercise your First Amendment rights.  If there were no consequences to the actions, then what are the protesters really saying/\n\nLast time I checked my Constitution, I have the right to assemble, but it doesn't say anything about a right to force my employer to hold my job while I make a political statement.

No. I would refuse, stand my ground, and do everything in my power to stop such a thing.\n\nI would rather die for my rights and property than fight a war that we provoked for this country.

To come here ILLEGALLY and then make demands is utterly presumptuous, especially if no attempt is being made to acclimate into our existing culture.   Would you expect anything OTHER than a backlash to that?  How rude!

Ok,Ok.! So why not, "If you would like to continue in any language other than English, press"...etc. Then proceed as though silence is consent...to proceed in English.  Aw, Shucks! Those unfortunates who hadn't understood the admonition to "press' would have to find help from someone who understands that to function in the United States of America one needs to know the lingo of the land...as we do when VISITING the land of their language and visiting is what they are doing if they disdain learning at least the basics of our language. Bo-do-dody-o-day!

Turn it around.\nIf another country occupied America, would YOU resist it.\nI think you have an understanding of what is happening. Anyone working for the coalition is not a terrorist, even if they terrorise whole nations. Anyone defending their own nation is a terrorist.\nThat is the slant that government propaganda puts on things.\nThe only REAL terrorists ARE the American Government, and especially the secret services.

Not at all, why would you oppose immigration from any country?

In a free society, there is no such thing as the "right" to not be subjected to offensive things. \n\nIf you read the newspaper, browse the web, watch TV, etc. you will be offended in the West. \n\nYou do have the right to protest (peacefully), picket, rally other people to do the same.\n\nIf their "deen" (a Muslim word for faith) is strong, they shouldn't worry about what some non-Muslim has to say about their religion.\n\nYes, I've seen the cartoons. They're a lot less offensive than what the OFFICIAL newspapers of some nations such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, etc. say about Judaism

I agree with you - no illegal immigrant has the "right" to do anything but to be returned to his/her own country. It disgusts me when people compare our ancestors who immigrated here legally with these people who care nothing of our laws, and so have no problem breaking them to enter.  We have immigration policies (they need to be enforced), and people can enter this country through an already established procedure. We should not be made to feel ashamed because we ask others to obey the same laws that every American is asked to obey!
