If You Are Not Multi-Lingual, Shut Your Mouth
Picking on bilingual people for speaking their own language is racist and silly. Hey evil racists, se habla español jerks, and I’m fluent from high school Spanish, my easy A. You see, you people thrive on hating minorities. Native Americans are also bullied for speaking their language in public since they are truly the ones who were here first when the United States was a mere colony. Don’t shame bilingual people into speaking in English, losers. You do not speak another language, at all, period. So who is ignorant and who is not?
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in The SwampDo the Democrats Truly Hate the President?
Click for AUDIO VERSION. This is part of an on-going series I have been writing regarding how Democrats think and the tactics they are using going into the 2018 midterm elections.
I Wish I Knew How to Quit You
In the last sequence that ends the haunting finale of The Americans, the car carrying former Soviet spies Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, who have fled back to their homeland after years of posing and living as suburbanites in the United States, all while carrying out their (at times) murderous mission, are finally coming home. Years after Mischa and Nadezhda arrive in the United States to become Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, it has all finally fallen apart.

Thoughts from an Oreo Pt. 1 Oreo. Half and half. Zebra. I've heard it all. It doesn't take long for people to notice that you're mixed before the floodgates open. The comments about my hair. The questions about what race my parents belong to. And let's not forget the confusion about which ethnicity I should check off whenever I fill out my paperwork.

Monday, June 11 marks the day that the FCC rolls back the Net Neutrality Rules and Title II classification on Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Now a lot of what public interest groups are scared about these rollbacks is all speculative, though everyone should be scared about what these rollbacks could do to every internet user.
John WalkerPublished 6 years ago in The SwampThe Racist Attorney
This lawyer who shall remain nameless has a history of racist ranting. Oh, not the person you are? When you have a history of being documented on video ranting about illegals, about Jewish people. You make me sick. Really, get over yourself. Learn to accept people. Learn to mix with people since you are an arrogant White person. You deserve having your law license suspended indefinitely. You have the company that operates the business center where your law office is canceling their contract with you. The space wasn’t full-time, but the company provided mail and phone services for you.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in The SwampAgainst All Odds
It is quite apparent that the DNC, as well as the most of our political leaders, continues to be oblivious to the real crisis facing America today. Not only are they noncommittal to the mounting inequality, but are intent in duplicating the travesty of the last Presidential Primary. Need we remind everyone of what happened in New York, Puerto Rico, and in so many other states where the DNC purposely committed voter fraud in denying Senator Sanders's bid for the nomination?
Dr. WilliamsPublished 6 years ago in The SwampMorality Vs. Legality
In America, our laws are often based off of Christianity. Thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, and the like. While we know these are wrong to do because they affect a person or property that is not ours, some of these laws fall into a gray area of doing what is right vs. what is legal.
James HowellPublished 6 years ago in The SwampDon't Move To The United States and Get Cliquish
People new to the United States do not understand the culture. Sure, our culture is what makes people suicidal, but that is another topic. We need to build a more supportive culture in general. People feel like nobody is willing to connect with them sometimes. Getting into cliques based on ethnicity is what the new immigrants do because they are scared to death. Not mixing amongst people is what can destroy a person socially. Learning English is necessary when moving to another continent altogether. The New World uses English as it’s the main language. But we are a melting pot or perhaps a salad.

The impending meeting of Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un is arguably one of the most significant in modern times. It shows either that old enemies are genuinely willing to discuss issues in person around a table rather than go to war, or perhaps it is the realisation that a war of the nuclear kind would crown no side ‘the winner.’
Patrick HollisPublished 6 years ago in The SwampWhy the 2018 Elections Will Change Nothing
Democrats or Republicans? The whole of American politics boils down to this question. While one can debate the relevance of politics and policy repeatedly question people about their positions on certain policies, but there will ultimately be only two people for whom they can vote. The question of party, unfortunately is as irrelevant as the third-party candidates that like to think they can win in elections for major political posts. The question becomes would you like this slightly different but altogether unchanged version of government or the other part of this binary system of government?
Thomas SebacherPublished 6 years ago in The SwampSegregation Is a Choice in the Modern World
Segregation is something people do to themselves deliberately these days. People stick to their ethnic group. What I want to know about this is, why? People come to the United States in search of a better life, but they do not mix with the average people.
