dave610 0 #1 February 12, 2003 I got this as an email and had to share it. I don't agree with all of it, but I do with most of it............and I am courious to see the reactions to it. Subject: HELL YEAH THIS SHOULD BE THE E-MAIL OF THE YEAR......HELL YEAH! Bet you stand up and say "HELL YEAH!" after you read this. If the man/woman who wrote this ran for PRESIDENT I would VOTE for him. 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's 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 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 a**es 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 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brains 2 #3 February 12, 2003 Amen is right!! There are a couple of songs that come to mind when i read this. Probably Aggie Dave is the only other person on these forums who would know who the singers are. Jason Boland and Cross Canadian Ragweed. They each have a song that is along these lines. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push 0 #10 February 12, 2003 My 2 cents. The "I" and the "you" here refer to noone in particular. > I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires. SUVs too? > 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. Or maybe it's an abused runaway mother? > 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. Definitely. > 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! Or maybe it's time to make one big Scouts, without gender roles? > I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. Would it not be better for science to decide? > 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. That gets a standing ovation from me. > I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. They have the same right to you. Just make sure you don't exercise your right too much, otherwise you might find yourself in a dark alley with them exercising their right. > When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that's not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics. Wow, sanity> 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! Why? What if you were both single? If it was completley consensual? What if the subordinate is your wife? > 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. Definitely. > 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. Doesn't matter what you speak, if you threaten police, or anyone else, that anyone should have the right to self defence. > I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed. I know what the definition of lying is. If the machine works. > 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. This economic policy is entirely up to the Americans to decide. I don't see how the whole constitution affair ties into this. > I don't hate the rich. > I don't pity the poor. Maybe this is more reasonable: "I don't hate the rich just because they're rich. I don't pity the poor just because they're poor." > I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude. Depends on the cause? I agree though. > 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. He did not invent a better OS. Neither did he invent the Internet. He is a piggybacker on the backs of his predecessors that everyone has forgotten. He definitely has the right to his money though. > 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 a**es when necessary and say "NO." Smack them how hard, and when they do what? Is that really the right way to teach them right from wrong? What makes you sure, because it worked for you? > "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 fries! If I tattoo "Bush is a dick" on my penis, that would be a political statement. And if you don't like the staff, go somewhere else. > 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. You are proud to be from America. If you lived in Britain, would you prefer to be called British or American? Maybe the African-Americans are like you, only they are proud to be African? But yeah, less political correctness will definitely help. > And if you don't like my point of view, tough shit!

wmw999 2,444 #13 February 12, 2003 Something to consider is that until very recently, "Miss America" WAS Miss White America. And Look, Life, Cosmo, McCalls and all the others WERE white magazines. Go look at the older issues. Television pretty much was white entertainment television until recently, too. And the number of minority "real" movie stars is very small -- is that really because there's less talent, or because of stereotyping. I could go on, but I don't think anyone wants to listen. I don't disagree with all of it, but it pretty much accepts one version of the status quo and declares it to be right. Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
