It's a shame that G Bush Jr didn't do more for them. I highly doubt that Trump'll do anything for them. Pence might if an arms deal was involved.

I know we agreed not to talk about him,but this is about Ash,and has political implications since she gave me a lecture about racism and banned me from GI for a week,even though we all posted on there saying we were going to leave GI nearly a week ago anyways.
Basically,I told her a certain person made anti-western comments constantly on FUSE,even referred to westerners as bullies,but when I talk bad about arabs,I am the racist?
And in general,how come minorities can use terms such as 'white trash', 'cracker', 'honkey' , 'redneck', but if you call an Arab or black person a bad name,you become the racist? The counterarguments are'minorities have it tougher,so cut them some slack blah blah blah'. Minorities use this double standard and they laugh behind the backs of the good hardworking majority. That's why we have BLM and SJWs. A black man gets shot after trying to kill a police officer,the police officer is racist,BLM at it again. A mention on restricting people from Arab nations to prevent terrorism and crime,SJWs call you a racist.

Somewhere along the way a significant portion of the population majority were brainwashed into thinking it's okay for everyone else to be racist and take advantage of them. White allies (apologists) are the absolute worst. Even the minorities they claim to be trying to help want nothing to do with them.

Yeah,even though I am half Asian and half white,I've had white people tell me not to joke about Asian women being bad drivers.This is despite me and Bunny seeing the humor. I got called a racist for saying the reason the Yankees win in baseball is because they have many imports,the White American person told me.America is very culturally mixed,don't hate on different races blah blah. She probably didn't know I'm half Asian,so I'm very mixed myself,and my comment was actually in references to how the Latinos and Japanese have the best baseball players(so I was actually complementing them).

Teacher at center of 'MAGA' controversy resigns after death threatsDeath threats are not an appropriate reaction but seriously how did this teacher think this was going to go? She tried to trample on the 1st Amendment when this wasn't a violation of the school's dress code under the claim that wearing a campaign slogan t-shirt in support of the guy who won the election is akin to wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi Swastika. Trying to argue that some have co-opted the slogan as a message of hate doesn't really cut it as an excuse either, unless we are going to change the laws to say that I am responsible for the actions of others now despite not being involved. This falls into the greater argument of who gets to define "hate speech." I've seen calls from certain folks of late to amend the constitution to define hate speech under the 1st Amendment so it can be banned and punished. Who gets to define that? Because there are people who are all too willing to label someone a Nazi or a bigot or fill in the -ism for having an opposing opinion on even inane issues. This teacher says: "I want my children, my students, to be safe in my classroom, I want them to be comfortable in my classroom," she said. "People have chosen to politicize this whole issue when it was never meant to be politicized. People can wear President Trump t-shirts, it's the statement, 'Make America Great Again,' that is a problem." I haven't read any statements that said there was a problem beyond the one she was creating. It just seems more like she let her own politics get in the way of rational thinking and created the very kind of disruption to the educational environment she says she was trying to avoid. End result... I still say if they just had uniforms in public schools none of this would have been an issue.

Yeah, herein likes the rub. Sometime between the late 70s and now the definition of racism changed from "a belief that one race is inherently superior to others" to "White people did colonialism and have privilege and therefore are the ONLY racists possible in the world due to the fact that every other minority suffers beneath the civilization they created even if there is no overt discrimination by white people against a glorious person of color; which is defined as all non-white people." In this manner racism will NEVER die because it will always be OK to discriminate against one ethnic group.

Court: Cross-shaped WWI memorial is unconstitutionalThis is where the PC culture has led us. This is where the want of frothing ignorant activists has taken us. A war veterans memorial honoring those who died during World War I that has stood for 92 years is in jeopardy of being torn down, altered or moved because it is in the shape of a cross and (though not originally when it was constructed) is now maintained with public funds on public land. I am all for following the Constitution. I am all for separation of church and state. But I whole-heartedly have to agree with the defendants and the original court ruling in this case that the purpose of the memorial is non-religious and "does not have the primary effect of endorsing religion." If some people could see past their own nose for two seconds they would recognize that in all this call for monument razing that's been going on lately that the down side to what they're asking for far outweighs any offense they take personally. Today it's Confederate monuments and religious symbols, tomorrow its statues of noteworthy figures currently considered heroic and admirable. When they come for Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. these people hawking now will be the first ones screaming foul.

'Trump' high school football sign called racist
This is the level of stupid we have reached in this country with the PC politics. The perpetually offended. This school was having patriotism week and in typical high school football rivalry put together a banner for the game that reflected a beat the other team message with a flavor that represented current events at the school. Typical high school thing in schools all over the country. But because the student body of the home school is predominantly white and the students from the visiting school are predominantly black the sign mentioning Trump even as a play on words is immediately considered RACIST by the visiting team. To make matters worse the dumbass super intendenent threw her own school administrators and students under the bus and agreed with the visiting school complaints like a typical white guilt apologist thus labeling them all as insensitive and racist rightly angering the parents from her district. The woman in the video says "You can't tell me how I feel about that sign." You're right lady, I can't. But I can tell you to go fuck yourself since you seem to think this is all about you somehow.

It's sad how white people can't even put up a simple banner that has no racial undertones without being called racist. But,minorities get away with using terms such as 'white trash', 'cracker' etc. In Australia,arabs do the same BS that blacks do in America,they are often racist against whites and Asians,but white people are not allowed to say anything bad about arabs.

Deserter Bergdahl says Taliban more 'honest' than US Army
Seriously who gives a flip what this sorry piece of shit has to say? He's a deserter. Worse yet a deserter who was captured by the enemy resulting in a lengthy search and process to get him back that endangered his fellow soldiers and caused injuries. He speaks of kangaroo courts and lynch mobs. They should have just put a bullet in his worthless ass and been done with him. If he didn't want to uphold the oath he swore to serve then he shouldn't have signed up.

This is more of a rant,than about anything political,but I'm sick and tired of people who are sponges.
I'm on a higher income than most of my friends,and many of them try to sponge off me by inviting me to go to places with them,just so they can have me pay for everything. Even if I am sick,or I'm not in the mood to go. Then if I am unhappy about this,they will tell me 'stop complaining' .
I wish people would learn to be more responsible with their finances. Many people I know are greatly in debt,or bankrupt because of their own stupid decisions.
Instead of buying a condo/house,many people spend their money on smoking,drinking,shopping,fast food etc. Many people would choose a car over a house. I know some people have no choice if they live in a rural area,but I know people who live near public transport,and they still buy a car(a brand new,expensive one,because they want a new car to show off to their friends).Your brand new car will lose 50% of it's value after a couple of years. In Thailand,brand new cars are usually more expensive than a condo/house,but people choose to buy a car,even though the public transport in Thailand is very good.
Even when I was living in Australia and America,I saw this thing often though,and had friends in Australia and America wanted to 'borrow money'(what they call borrow money actually means get money for free),and those people pointed out to my stronger financial situation as a reason I can 'spare' some money,and even people within the group called me selfish if I asked for the money back from low-income friends.
That's why people who win the lottery are encouraged not to tell anyone,and just disappear,because you will never be left alone. People begging for cash,or plotting against you with frivolous lawsuits to milk as much cash from you as they can.

People begging for cash,or plotting against you with frivolous lawsuits to milk as much cash from you as they can. Bad Monkey! is for rants =-p I sympathize with you but I really don't have this problem! Even though I now make more money than I ever have, it is used to support a family of 6 so disposable income is rare. But I've been 'poor' so long it's hard to compel me to go out and waste money at all. That's why I love video games. I make an investment and I get dozens of hours of entertainment. I told my wife when we married "I'm easy. All I want is video games and beer. I don't need a bar, I don't need a strip club, I don't even need gadgets." I am perfectly happy working and giving her the money, provided I get video games and beer. On the topic of a lottery win; IF I ever won (big if since I'm too lazy to buy a ticket) and it was "fuck you" money (enough that I had to ability to tell everyone to fuck off) I would take care of all the debts of my closest friends. House, car, credits cards... done. A one time gift to lift them from the shackles of capitalism. I would buy a modest house, a pair of Tesla Model S vehicles so I could flip off every gas station I passed, and then I would simply NEVER WORK AGAIN. That's it. I would invest enough money to have a decent income to pay for property taxes etc and then my life would revolve around leisure and travel. As for people asking for money well, they don't call it "fuck you" money for nothing.
