      Not sure what's going on here but I think I need some popcorn.

      I don't either, but we'll never never find out since he's been put on MUTE.

      He can still use all the features of the site, just not post on the forums.

        (Assuming I understand what you are saying correctly… Meaning; you have duel citizenship, he only has UK citizenship, and is trying to get a green card.)

        YES, that is the case.  When we met, I was only a US citizen.

        So, calling you a liberal is "name calling".  I agree.

        Anyway, why am I a hypocrite because I live in the UK, but am commenting on the US situation?  That makes no sense.

          sorry to ask for something not related; but I wonder : The guy had a status of " self approved". doesn't it mean he is some kind of moderator? ( so there are even insults amongst moderators then?..) cant he create a new account then?
          thanks.

            Auto Approval is in regards to uploading torrents as far as I know. Checked the forums to double check and it appears so.

                Either way, I'm sure a contributing member to the site knows who to contact to get it removed. The spam accusation is comical.

                  Wow…

                  I want to be really clear about this: I don't mean this as a joke.

                  Trump's immigration policy is political suicide, it's just going to be story after story like this.

                  I could easily reword that into a sick joke and that's not what I mean.

                  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/mexican-man-guadalupe-olivas-valencia-kills-himself-us-deported-suicide-location-where-he-lived-in-a7592951.html

                  Is Mexico that horrible that he would rather kill himself than go back? If he wanted to come to America so bad, he should have followed the law and immigrated LEGALLY like I did. But, you can't expect democrats to follow the laws.

                    It's classed as spam since it adds no value to the conversation since it was only a personal attack.

                    "Auto Approval" no longer has any real meaning since everyone, except those that are moderated, are on auto approval now.

                      Err…is not horrible per se (otherwise, all mexicans would be crossing the border), it's just that there's so much corruption, insecurity and a true lack of opportunities for social mobility.

                      Most illegals belong to the lower class echelons in Mexico so they don't even have a high level of education, a great number are farmhands that search for work since agriculture here is pretty death (News Flash: Even though Mexico's diet is based on corn, the country fails to produce the amount it needs, it imports the rest from the US)  if they can't find a job in the fields they can make a living with little jobs or other.  For example, a waiter in USA, can eke out a decent living, while that is impossible in Mexico.

                      And there's also a disdain towards returned migrants.  For some mexicans, those who migrated to USA have become 'gringos' and behave snobby and uptight towards those who remained in the country. (Some do actually, but that doesn't mean all mexicans living in the USA act like that)
