CA has a new state holiday - Diwali — the Hindu “Festival of Lights”

[Zincwarrior]

For one thing, they are obsessed with money, just like the Chinese and Jews.

Wow. Ok.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Wow. Ok.

It's true though.

 

[Unkotare]

...

We shouldn't have a holiday dedicated to some foreigners' religious celebration.


...

"WE" represent every religious tradition on earth. Always have.

No Americans don't. Americans have a dominant religion, which is Christianity. They just don't persecute other faiths, is all.

...

They might have a passport that says they are American...

Which indicates that they ARE American. America is a nation founded on shared principles and ideals, not bloodline. If you don't understand that, you don't understand America.

 

[Unkotare]

No Americans don't. ...

Yes, Americans DO. It seems you don't understand my country at all.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Which indicates that they ARE American.

By nationality only.

I am pretty sure there was a time when only Nordics were allowed to come (aka the good old days). Too bad you guys abandoned that policy.

If you don't understand that, you don't understand America.

I don't give a shit. I don't want East Indians here.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Yes, Americans DO. It seems you don't understand my country at all.

Your people let Muslims pray anywhere they want, they make Diwali a statutory holiday, and I am pretty sure they also openly praise the teachings of Buddhism without fear or worry.

If this is "religious persecution" then I am afraid Americans aren't trying hard enough.

 

[Zincwarrior]

By nationality only.

Yes, Americans are Americans by nationality.

 

[Unkotare]

By nationality only.
...

By every measure that can be determined by a document.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Yes, Americans are Americans by nationality.

There is also a thing called, "In essence...."

 

[Unkotare]

...

I don't give a shit. ...

Then stay the **** out of my country.

 

[MayorQuimby]

By every measure that can be determined by a document.

Documents....those are all that East Indians have.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Then stay the **** out of my country.

I am not in your country. But that won't stop me from giving you tears.

We don't want to "try hard" at religious persecution, dumbass.

 

[Unkotare]

I am not in your country. ...

Good. See that it stays that way.

 

[MayorQuimby]

We don't want to "try hard" at religious persecution, dumbass.

God you can't read.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Good. See that it stays that way.

I can see your tears all the way from Canada.

 

[Unkotare]

Documents....those are all that East Indians have.

That's all anybody has. You have to get to know each individual personally to determine anything more than that. An American is an American.

 

[Unkotare]

I can see your tears all the way from Canada.

Figures you would choose the most insignificant country in the continent.
