sigh
Doug, my grandparents were born in the US, Pennsylvania.
So was my mom and dad and myself and brothers and sisters.
I do not know where any relatives before my grandparents were from,
nor
do
I
really care.

But, you DO know that it's relevant to this discussion about
diversity.

Look, I have asked you several times now WHY diversity is a good thing
and
you have yet to answer it.
All you have done is parrot the same old stuff I see everywhere, with no
REAL answer.
It isn't about ME, Doug. It is about YOU, and your unsupported claim
that
diversity is good.

Remaining hysterical tripe snipped.

I gave you MY answer. You didn't like it. And, for purposes of your own,
you've chosen not to discuss your ancestry. So, before I give up on this
subject, let's try this:

Do you think it would've been better for American if YOUR ancestors had
never come here?

I'm not going to further debate you on this Doug, for you are missing the
target completely.
You are attempting to *personalize* the debate by making it about *me*, when
that is not correct.
I asked you what would seem to be a very simplistic question, one that I'm
surprised you of all people, haven't answered outright.
Now, if you don't know the answer, fine, there is nothing wrong with that.
But don't even think that I'll allow you to twist the topic to something
else entirely because it just ain't gonna happen.
Take a look at my reply to Gould 0738 for some insight as to what this
about.

I am not against diversity, but believe that it should be held in
moderation, as with anything else, so as to not lose sight of the bigger
picture.

So, you're saying it should be controlled. How do you propose to do that?

I noticed another message to Gould in which you said something about
moderation, which means you think diversity can be controlled. How, and by
whom?s
