      - I'm still a big fan of apple pie. -- nm - Jason Biggs Aug 1, 07:41
      - And didn't his parents come to the US? Isn't that what we're supposed to? Come here, work hard, become successful? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 1, 07:23 6

    - Are you new here? (and by here, I mean America) - ty97 Aug 1, 07:10 7
      - Stop letting fear win and think about what's happening. -- nm - David's iPad Aug 1, 07:19 6
        
        Respectfully, stop burying your head in the sand and pretending the reality of America today is your fantasy version and not what we see on the news. -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 07:25 2
