You are correct with that definition. However, adamschneider is comparing anti-illegal immigrants with racists (inferring that we don't want them here just because they are Mexican). This is far from the truth- we don't want the illegals here because they are illegal, and there is no "fear of anything illegal" in the definition of xenophobia. I have no problem with anyone that comes here legally, pays taxes and contributes in a non-criminal way to our country.

Just had to clear that up- now back on topic!

Just got back from the Dragon .....AGAIN Well , I just found out that they did an investigation , and I was cleared of any wrong doing . Imagine that Well now Coryn is in the body shop and we are haggling over what needs to be fixed . I mentioned my last clash with Nationwide . The fact that they screwed me over a shock absorber . I presented the bill for the TRD's and stated that they (TRD's) can't be bought seperately . The bodyshop said "Yes Sir" . Nationwide said thats not true . I said look all you want , but you will buy me new TRD's or there won't be a Nationwide any longer . It will be HTM YARISWIDE insurance .


On a seperate note , wait till the rental company sees what I did to their tires . Who knew that Mazda 3 could pwned a porsche cayman and a few Mustang GT's . Hey , at least I took the hubcaps off first . But then again maybe they won't notice .

You bet I will post pics later this week

That's great news! I'm glad to hear it's working out all right for you. I used to have a Mazda3 and loved it. I thought they handled pretty good for their all over length.

You, personally, may be entirely sincere in that statement -- but I find it hard to believe that the anti-immigrant sentiment floating around these days would be quite so passionate if the illegals were coming from, say, Belgium. You're kidding yourself if you think racism has nothing to do with it.
