Diversity makes the US stronger ????????

You almost had it! You just added the word "politically" in front of it for some reason. Politics board, I can see how it could happen. No harm, no foul.

Ya missed my point...professor....I for one served in the foxholes...I just used the "Political" word to bring home the point...it is very easy to sit at home and make comments based on college courses....to get down and dirty....gives one the proper perspective on life....

Very, apparently we're taught two very different version of US history.

psst, I think he has his own version, based on his own history.

So you have the 'proper' perspective?

While I certainly appreciate your service, I assume it was not done in early 19th century, unless I am grossly underestimating your age. I cannot see how serving and understanding the Irish immigration to the US can be remotely relevant.

The fact is that, Irish weren't allowed to be police in significant numbers in either US or Canada till later in the 19th century do to widespread racism. Their roots were in construction of the Eastern railways, canals and bridges of which their cheap labour founded the basis of American infrastructure. Women were often employed as servants, cooks (ironically) if unmarried.

During the next wave of immigration as a result of the potato famine in the early 20th century, immgrants were largely disposed to farming and generally skilled as such.

Suggesting that their major role, was that of policemen, is with all due respect, absurd.

As so it would appear.

Sorry Arch, I watched what my wife had to do to get her PhD. and it was massive. Me, I barely got out of High School! It's not as easy as you think.

Sorry truth, too much of what is coming out of universities is based on la la data and land. On that we agree Arch. As for me, I've not been PC since 1975.

I was a law enforcement officer...I... neither did you live in the 1800's...but the fact remains the requirements for height and weight were based on historical fact...not to say it applies in todays world...but one cannot change history....just to try to make a silly point! If changing history is a political prerequesite for a PHD then you and kathianne are in good company...I will pass...thank you!...and bye the way have a nice life in lala land!

Could be, problem is, have you ever figured out the problem, before it bit you in the ass?

 

[archangel]

i'm sure you will make some points on this one...go for it!

until you get your prissy hands dirty in the fight...keep on in denial! I'm sure you will receive a A+ for effort...again I am glad to not be living in a target zone!

 

[Nuc]

You like to talk from experience, but you don't want me to? I'm not making this stuff up.

I wish my hands were 'prissy' if that means smooth. In any case, you are blinded by your own prejudices. I don't think you enjoy the pic, but can't break out of it.

I will be here when the big flash occurs....denial is a gift for the uniformed...I tried so have fun in the "Big Apple" while it lasts...adios amigo...I will be happy and safe in the desert...not as artistically preferred from your point of view...but oh well...better hot and sweaty than stuck up and having what you call fun..

we will wait and see who is left standing when the big flash occurs...adios!

If the 'adios' meant forever, I would raise a glass.
