They say a lot of that region is poor, corrupt and dangerous so that's why and basically it's ok if people run away from there and sneak into another country. No.. how about these regions make themselves a place where people don't want to run away from... they take care and be accountable for themselves and their people.. while the U.S. takes care of themselves and their own people.

I foresee a lot pettifog incoming. Bless you, but do try to face reality

In 1973 in Stockholm, Sweden, a bank robbery and hostage crisis took place at a bank called Kreditbanken. After the crisis ended, the hostages of the robbery, who had undergone severe distress, expressed empathetic and almost identifying feelings in regards to their captors. Creating the term Stockholm Syndrome. The situation suggests this - an inescapable environment where abuse and the threat of abuse is so imminent, survival kicks in and there is an adaptation and acceptance that takes place. You start to go numb to abuse and you start to interpret an absence of abuse as a genuine act of kindness. This is the mechanism of the governing body vs. the people dynamic we have in society, perhaps civilization as a whole. They have all the stigmas, laws and barriers in place to alienate, incriminate and divide you whenever and however they want to. All to break you down into basically a panicked, desperate, near schizophrenic creature that is easy to control, at their mercy and ripe for exploitation. They've monetized existence. They've monetized survival. That's why you revere them, that's why you put up with so much, that's why you never even think to question them - because you practically have zero chance without them. You can't beat them. You have two options in this life. You are either controlled or you are condemned. A puppet or an alien. There's really not much in between. Take your pick. Or go through life without ever thinking about it. Many do.

A regular vegan or vegetarian who wants to tell me why vegetables are important? - i'm not talking to you or trying to ask you anything! move along now. Again - I'm look from insight from fruitarians. :)

i don't want to do any cooking, i want it to be raw

i honestly don't know exactly what a racist is. I'll say that i am aware of certain behaviors and attitudes that are undoubtedly prevalent in a particular race or skin color.. some attitudes and behaviors that i'm not particularly fond of and that i might have unconscious anticipation of it being present in a person of that skin color or race. But do I automatically HATE a person of another race...hm,, no - that's not an accurate way of describing me. Now i've heard the word "racist" described as thinking a race is superior to another. Uhhh, you can put that into many contexts.. in some contexts - Yes, i'd say some races are superior than others. Then there's the ultimate context - inherent superiority. Is a race inherently superior to another? The superiority simply found in the DNA and genes of that race? Well... i don't know.. i'm not a damn biologist of humans. I wouldn't rule out the possibilty of a race being inherently superior to another, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of that not being the case. Superior to me means civilized.

Mestizo means mixed race. She looks like most mexicans, mixed of some sort. So she is mixed race - mestizo
