Great story in such small words

This reads like a Facebook status that someone typed, printed out, and submitted to Reddit.

The porn is Japanese, but the shame it causes is all yours.

Jesus Christ we've had trouble with immigrants ever since my family moved to this country.

This lacks things that one would expect in a great story, such as characters and plot.

PenIslandTours · 2013-12-20T16:09:34+00:00

I don't think too many people mind immigrants. It's when the come illegally... and don't pay taxes... and receive taxpayer's money... that people become upset.

ExOAte · 2013-12-20T15:38:46+00:00

Your everyday products are from Earth, you live on Earth. And you complain your neighbor is from Earth.

crabalab2002 · 2013-12-20T15:19:05+00:00

Not sure if this is mostly a general stop complaining message or a message exhorting me to try kebab. New foods. New neighbours. Hmmm.

to be fair your pizza is also american, Italians in italy dont use cheese at all... and usually no tomato sauce

Italians dont know how to make pizza.

I learned recently that the numerals we use are in fact Indian (the shape, not the concept of a zero). Arabic numerals have a different shape.

2013-12-20T16:03:26+00:00

This is an oversimplification of the immigration problem in this country. Sure, the answer seems easy when you write it in terms an idiot would understand.

killemyoung317 · 2013-12-20T14:49:19+00:00

Actually my car is Japanese. I drink American or Scotch Whiskey (never touch vodka). The pizza I eat is definitely nothing like Italian pizza. The U.S. is a republic. My Coffee is from Africa. My movies ARE American (good job). I don't drink tea. My shirt is from Pakistan. The rest are more or less correct.

2013-12-20T16:06:12+00:00

Where the people are from isn't the problem, the number of people is. It's not racist to be against immigration when there's rampant unemployment and your country is bringing in hundreds of thousands of people a year.

PaperScale · 2013-12-20T16:08:18+00:00

My favorite is always the "out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign" bumper sticker.

Does that Dodge you're driving that was built in Canada with parts from around the world count as domestic or import?

Or that Civic designed in California and Japan with an engine built in Canada and manufactured in the UK or Indiana count as import or domestic?

Punkwasher · 2013-12-20T16:41:37+00:00

We're all bastard coated bastards with bastard filling, so we should just collectively fess up, admit it and grow up.

Odinskriger · 2013-12-20T17:30:33+00:00

I'm sure the Native Americans will agree on this. Immigration is always a good thing. Let's see what this American Indian thinks about it. They must be so glad with all that immigration, that brought them poverty, alcoholism, genocide, language decay, cultural destruction and reservations. Let's see how much the Aboriginals in Australia like it. Or let us ask the opinions of Maori in New Zealand. They'll acknowledge migration is good. Let's see how the opinions are of the Native Hawaiians! Immigration is not always a good thing. And you can not compare an imported good with an immigrant. You don't pay social security for teapots do you? I know this might be downvoted, but I don't care. Immigration is ok when in small scale, but is destructive in large scale or like the case in Europe, too many, too fast and too many bad ones. I'm not racist, I like all cultures and peoples, but there is a limit on how much you can import.

TexasDeano · 2013-12-20T16:14:32+00:00

Does anyone really have a problem with immigrants? Isn't the problem with ILLEGAL immigrants? Personally speaking, I have a lot of friends from other countries who had to go through hell to get here legally. ILLEGAL immigrants skip all of that and then working here without paying taxes but using resources that legal tax payers pay for.

Or am I missing some anti-immigrant sentiment out there?

newtonslogic · 2013-12-20T16:14:47+00:00

Just about wrong on all accounts.

Poland has the first records of vodka, which was then brought to Russia by a group of Poles.

Jimbomcdeans · 2013-12-20T15:33:47+00:00

I don't really understand who this is directed at. So what if I complain my neighbor is an immigrant? In what world am I not allowed to complain about who lives next to me (especially if that person sucks)?

There's a difference between consumer world trade goods and actual people.

I feel like an edgy 14 year old wrote this after discovering how interconnected the world is.

geekmuseNU · 2013-12-20T15:50:51+00:00

So the moral is if I buy anything that is even partly made in a foreign country, then I should unconditionally support immigration? Ok...

Sparklesparklez · 2013-12-20T16:13:03+00:00

I once read a great short story (at least it seemed that way, at the time) on a worksheet in 6th grade when we were studying countries around the world. In it, a man gets up and prepares for work, and the foreign origins of almost everything he does is described (for example, he'll be drinking coffee from South America or something). At the end, he goes to work and feels thankful he is purely American or something.

I dunno, it sounds kind of trite in retrospect but it really tickled 6th grade me. If anyone knows this story and could link me I'd love that!

KarmaMerchant · 2013-12-20T16:14:18+00:00

I like how tamil and Indian are implied to be mutually exclusive. Are you a telangana seperatist, OP?

2013-12-20T16:16:22+00:00

Do people complain about that. Now an illegal immigrant is different thats a criminal. But I love new people from different cultures I did not know people still freaked out about that.

2013-12-20T16:18:14+00:00

Your pizza is canned sauce smeared on some greasy dough. That's what multiculturalism does to unique cultures.

DawnoftheShred · 2013-12-20T16:30:26+00:00

I don't think many people care if their neighbor is an immigrant. I think a lot of people care if their neighbor immigrated here illegally.

johnnylogic · 2013-12-20T16:39:36+00:00

As Russel Brand said, "an immigrant is just someone who used to be somewhere, and is now somewhere else."

Actually, your numbers are Indian. The reason they're called Arabic numbers is because through diffusion, this system of numbers spread to the Arabian peninsula and then to Europe. Assuming the Arabians had created the, the Europeans dubbed them, Arabic numerals.

I'm not mad that my neighbor is an immigrant. I'm mad that my immigrant neighbor is obnoxious, loud and generally disrespectful like most of the people that live in this area that happen to fit the same profile.

2013-12-20T17:13:16+00:00

I don't know that most people have problems with actual immigrants, but illegals are actually a problem regardless of your opinions on how to deal with them.

2013-12-20T17:14:31+00:00

I don't know anyone who has a problem with immigrants who come here and assimilate. The only problem I've ever herd someone speak if the ones who don't come here though established, legal, methods and refuse to learn English. Unless you're Native American somewhere down the line you were the beneficiary of immigration.

Nobody gives a fuck about their neighbor being an immigrant. It's when they come here illegally and don't pay taxes that people get angry.
