I just love these things

This is an email I got a few days ago:


I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics.

I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately! I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen you should have to speak English!. My father and grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.

I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed. I know what the definition of lying is. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document and open to their interpretations. I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television, and that doesn't stop you from watching them. I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.


I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little ass' when necessary and say "NO.

"I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And Please stay home until that new lip ring heals, I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me fucking fries!

I am sick of "Political Correctness" and of all the suck ups that go along with it. I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa, so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don't like my point of view, tough shit!
 
:D

another one:


If you lived as a child in the 40's, 50's, 60's or 70's how did you survive? Please read all the way to the bottom!

Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we
have... As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air
bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!)

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones. Unthinkable.

We played dodgeball and sometimes the ball would really hurt.
We got cut and broke bones and broke teeth, and there were no law suits from these accidents.They were accidents. No one was to blame, but us. Remember accidents?

We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda but we were never overweight... we were always outside playing.

We shared one grape soda with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, video games at all, 99 channels on cable,video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, Personal Computers, Internet chat rooms ... we had friends.

We went outside and found them. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rung the bell or just walked in and talked to them. Imagine such a thing. Without asking a parent! By ourselves!

Out there in the cold cruel world! Without a guardian. How did we
do it?

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't, had to learn to deal with disappointment.....

Some students weren't as smart as others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade..... Horrors. Tests were not adjusted for any reason.

Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law, imagine that!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and
problem solvers and inventors ever. The past 50 years has been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

Too bad the point was missed, ash r. Not to start a big argument on this, but BET is owned by Sony-Viacom. It used to be owned by a group of black folks in Atlanta, and was started because there were no decent black shows on television. To be honest, there haven't been any since The Cosby Show on any network. I also don't hear any complaints about the Hispanic channels that show TV in Spanish 24/7.

To sum this all up...White entertainment television is basically ABC, NBC, and CBS. We, as the other races, like to see something besides an all white cast on TV, so don't complain.
 
As an aside, The Cosby Show used to be one of my all time favorites... right along side Sanford and Sons, and I'm as white as wonder bread. So even though you might claim them as "black" shows, they were successful because everyone liked them, not just the black population. This is why BET has turned into what it has.
 
True, but try and find a show, with more than 2 black people in it, on prime time and not in syndication. Once you see that, you'll know why there is a BET.

A bit of history...

For the first 30 to 40 years of television, you didn't find any black people in the usual line-up, unless they were a servant. No network would air them. That is why BET came into existence.
 
Sanford & Son...but that was when it started to open up some. And it was great. I don't begrudge BET one bit....I wish this black/white thing would completely disappear. We would all be better for it.

Hmm. What has it turned into? I used to like BET, but it's been ages since I watched it. I'm not even sure if we have it on the satellite here. We don't have any of the big three, because of the legislation that the local affiliates pushed through to prevent people from getting the networks via satellite unless they could prove they couldn't get them locally via an antennae. :rolleyes: Consequently, we don't watch sit-coms very often.
 
Doubt it, as its not off-air terrestial TV received via home aerial, you gotta meet certain criteria i think, if your standard out door antenna (omni or pure directional) cannot receive it you're in the group that can have it via satellite.

You're not missing much. Seems the folks at Sony-Viacom decided that black people in the US only like rap videos. :rolleyes:
All the programs with substance were removed, and garbage was tossed in.
 
Yes, I think alot of the problems anymore stem from more stereotypes than from racism.

i was leaning more away from BET and more towards the other points.
i want to get a scholarship for being white, dammit!!
why dont i know of any magazines, wahoo, for white persons??
hell, let's have a miss white america!

and while we're at it, why dont we start a White Student Acheivement Program?? other races should have theirs too, as well as all the other stuff...
"no, you can't do that!!" they'd say, "that's racism!!!" blah.

aaaargh, i'm too tired to talk anymore, lol.
 
He has a point though too, Ash. You want a White Miss America? Ok, go to the Miss America pageant. You want white scholarships, apply for any scholarship that doesn't specify black. White magazines, just about any will do. Things are already slanted towards us, no, they don't say it, and yes it does piss me off that they do and get away with it, but the truth is, mainstream is still slanted towards the white person.

I was talking with this to Black guy here at work, who was leaving town to go to the Missouri Black Caucus, I said "Why don't we have a White Caucus?', his reply, "You do, except you call it Legislature."
