    Why shouldn't they bring their positive customs and history. It's what know and should pass it on to future generations.....notice I said nothing about laws.

    Yes! I'm totally for the idea of sharing cultural attributes, customs and history. Doing so paves the way to peace, cooperation and getting along.

    we don't need their customs in my opinion, I've seen enough through the media to know their customs have too many dangers to women and children to tolerate here.

    GF you're clearly an intelligent and thoughtful person so there is no need for me to point out that your relatives brought their customs and culture to America and as far as I know they weren't a danger to women and children.

    We see what the media wants us to see. And think of it the other way around. I'm sure we are seen through a lens that makes us look just as bad. Most people in most places aren't bad people.

    Edit: I'd even venture to say most people everywhere are not bad people.

    But there is nothing left to interpretation when you look at a country's laws. This has nothing to do with bias. These are cold hard facts.

    A Saudi prince was arrested Wednesday at a compound near Beverly Hills in connection with an alleged sex crime after a bleeding woman was seen trying to flee the grounds.

    Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, 28, was arrested on suspicion of forced oral copulation of an adult, according to the Los Angeles Times. Police were called to the gated compound after a caretaker at the home reported the disturbance. The Times, citing jail records, reports Al-Saud was freed on $300,000 bail Thursday afternoon. LAPD officer Drake Madison told the newspaper the suspect was booked after 4 p.m.

    Capt. Tina Nieto said the police department has a consul liaison that checks with foreign nations’ consulates regarding a certain person’s diplomatic immunity. Nieto said Al-Saud doesn’t have immunity in this case.

    Tennyson Collins, a neighbor, told the Times he saw a bleeding woman trying to scale the property’s 8-foot wall on Wednesday. When Collins returned home from work, police followed his car through the gates and then onto the property. He said officers escorted about 20 people out of the compound, most of them staff members.

    Police said Al-Saud was renting the home, which Zillow values at $37 million. Collins said different foreign nationals have been renting out the home for weeks at a time over the past year.

    Earlier this month, a Qatari prince, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al Thani, was videotaped racing a yellow Ferrari through Beverly Hills at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour, blowing through stop signs and frightening residents. Al Thani later denied driving recklessly and claimed he had diplomatic immunity, Beverly Hills police said. Authorities consulted with the State Department and the Qatar consulate and determined he did not have diplomatic immunity, police Chief Dominick Rivetti said during a Sept. 17 news conference.


    Al Thani reportedly flew back to Qatar before he could be arrested.

    no, they had a desire to live in America. huge difference.

    did they leave all their customs at home? did they stop speaking their language? did they start wearing "american clothing" so they could assimilate? come on.

    the people coming here now have the same desires. but the people who came here first have some sense of entitlement that they should have been the last ones let in. it's bizarre.

    it's like the bratty kid who gets a new bike, and has a tantrum when a friend of his gets the same one, as he is the only one who should deserve it.
