People, Americans included, are allways going to find reasons to put down about the "other " countries of world, but, I feel that looking for the good in somewhere or something gives us a a better world view and maybe some hope for better days to come.... have a nice day folks , Jim well said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Well jvi, our main problem is too many people having different opinions as to what kind of country the U.S. is SUPPOSED to be. Christian, Atheist, agnostic, interfaith, right, left, forward looking, unchanging, white powered, black powered, diverse, inclusive, elitist, capitalist, "socialist"( for those who actually know what that is), youth centered, age centered or not centered at all. It can drive a person nuts. For more than a hundred years we had a statue on our East coast beckoning people to come here and join us. Now we have people who want to build walls to keep 'em out. But as for me jvi, you and yours are welcome here anytime. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau is sorting it right out. “If you guys don’t leave the border I’ll get mad and that will show you truckers who’s boss of Canada”.

Look up what you have to do to denounce your American Citizenship. That’s my point. No matter how bad they claim that this country is, they’re not about to give-up what their citizenship means.. They love to talk, but they’re not willing to suffer the consequences. Nothing is keeping them from getting on a plane and leaving for a country that hates us as much as “they” do. All one needs is a passport and they’re easy to get and then fly to a country that will accept you and denounce your birth country from there. There are numerous rich celebrities who routinely travel the world who proclaimed they would leave the country if certain people won elections and/or if certain things were not done. They are still here, even though things didn’t go their way.>………….I think most of these people would benefit to some degree by just sitting-down and playing a guitar.

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Here is another one. I decided to retire in December. I'm going stir crazy doing nothing at home, and want to get a PT job to get out of the house and have a little cash for guitar strings. I am a bad person and smoke weed, which is legal in the state I live in. Yet, every place I look to apply requires a drug test. Even working in a grocery store. What is the difference if I take a bong hit when I get home, or pound a 12 pack, as long as I can make to my shift on time, and both are legal in my state? I certainly will not be high at work. I have never had a drug test outside the military on a regular basis except for when onboarding for a job. I start smoking weed as soon as I am hired, and I pass my p-iss test. Never had an accident or a lost day at work due to it. Are these companies so dim witted that they really think their employees are truly drug free? Yet being a drunk is okay, cause its legal and there is no panel on the drug test for it. Edited February 16, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weed for crying out loud… this has to be one of the most moronic policies in general for companies to enforce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I also love it when the telemarketers call, and tell me my car warranty has almost expired, yet when asked they can not tell me what make or model car I own. Its usually a Filipina who calls and then I start asking if they are really calling for sex, and I tell them I like to touch little boy's pee pee's. By then they hang up.

"We" benefited from the good they brought with them and 'they' benefited from the good we and our forefathers had created. And that Statue of Liberty - don't worry: all those folks who want "No Walls" (code-speak for Open Borders).

Just out of curiosity, what era do you consider the “first generation”? The 1400’s, 1500’s, 1600’s, 1700’s or 1800’s? Another thing I don’t understand is who are “we” and “they”? Weren’t we they at one point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racist, White Supremacist - the usual reasons, is another danger. They are just pushing further the 'tear down the statues' program another step further.

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Whoopi Goldberg said a few weeks ago and then got a 2 week ban for saying "The Holocausts was not about race". You stupid ignorant t-wat, it wall all about race. It was about an Austrian guy who became the leader of Germany and wanted to eradicate all the Jews. How is that not about race. Why because the Jews were not black like her? Now she is back on The View to spread more of her stupidity to the Libs and they eat it up like a 10 piece McNugget meal. But she apologized, so that makes it like she didn't say it, right? Own your s-hit b-tich. Remember when Whoopi and Ted did this funny thing. People forget about this. I think it was to Roast Sherman Hemsley. They would be cruxified now if they did it, but back then it was for comedy sake. Look at Whoopi yukking it up. Edited February 19, 2022 by Sgt.
