> [@Rack-a-Bones](#): > > And I have to throw in the obligatory “I love this place comment.” A pitting of a non-tipping, SUV-driving, Republican, picky-eater fatty who hovers over toilet seats turns into a discussion regarding enchiladas. Priceless. Could you beat someone to death with a two pound unfrozen enchilada? Is it take out? 'Cause we’re gonna need a plastic bag. ---

RR… Don’t you get bored? My general dislike, as I can’t quite work up to anything else, for you being such a twat isn’t necessarily about the ignorant drivel you come up with, but the fact that it’s relentless. Don’t you have another hobby? Or did people think you were a wanker there (wherever) as well? Has anyone posted a “Should Rand Rover just Fuck Off?” poll yet? …please direct me to it. ---

> [@Cosmic Relief](#): > > Yes, it’s inevitable that some individual person has to be on the bottom. Or that certain regions might be getting hard hit economically. But when it’s an entire group of people who have nothing in common except their race and gender, you don’t find that fishy in the least? You don’t find it odd that even when black people are a numeric minority in the country, they always seem to end up heavily represented in the statistical category of “people who are screwed”? This is not remarkable to you? No, not in the slightest. Because something else that this demographic has in common is a set of behaviors - not always, but commonly. It is not politically correct to say so, but it is nonetheless true - poor blacks in the US are poor because they did things (or their parents did things) that caused them to be, and remain, poor. It has little or nothing to do with racism. That Liu person in the article of the other thread’s OP is wrong - this has everything to do with behavior, and nothing to do with government relief programs. A black woman who behaves like a middle-class person - delay gratification, don’t have children until you are married, don’t hook up with some fuckhead with a criminal record and no job, etc. - is no more likely to wind up poor than anyone else, of any race. Everybody knows this, but the race pimps deny it, because it threatens their lip lock on the public teat and their trump card excuse for every failing. Regards, Shodan ---

> [@Rack-a-Bones](#): > > The American Ream ended on November 4, 2008.\* > > - well, sort of Sort of, indeed. The Ream has been in effect since we ran out of frontier and the indigenous Americans had nothing left to steal. It was then that we turned loose the US military to plunder the developing world … Iraq and Afghanistan are the natural extensions this policy which has continued unabated since the Spanish-American War. The domestic face of this policy is, of course, corporate ‘personhood’ which literally owns the govt. The foreign and domestic philosophies are the same: make as much as you can and buy or shoot anyone who gets in the way.
