Racism, at least in my part of the US, is hardly an issue. Sure, there are people who are racist, both black and white people. But the majority don't act on it, just come up with stupid stereotypical 'jokes.' People think if you're against affirmitive action, then you're a racist. I'm against it, but I also can't stand AA for women, too. Getting a job because you fill a percentage quota of black, asian, or women is just ridiculous.
Again, if you don't live in America, you don't know.
[QUOTE I just think the useage of that word is very inaccurate and ignorant... The KKK is in existance, but they're so underground that they hardly have any prevalence, except in some parts of the south.
...they prefer to be called...Keg Kounty Kowboys....I am surrounded by them..
...they know not to bother me...or anyone else...
That's what makes the country strong. Our country was a series of colonies and the federal government was originally only supposed to deal with a few issues, like levying taxes, issuing currency, managing international relations, and managing interstate commerce. The state and local government was supposed to deal with the rest. Unfortunately over the years bureaucracy has smothered our system and only now people are beginning to realize how much of a benefit strong state's rights are. You can see this clearly in the recent raids of cannabis dispensaries in California. As the weed was taken away, protesters chanted "State's Rights!." The CA authorities aren't busting people, it's the Feds. This is a tragedy that would sadden our forefathers immensely.Quote:

I've seen a few european guys with quotes from some of our gangsta rappers and I don't get it. Do you guys identify with them or what? I'm not dogging you, I'm just curious. Sometimes I forget the way music can go across the world.Quote:

Said terrorist is planning to set off this small nuke let's say, from a boat on the Potomac? How would THAT effect this country and the world. Give them all the power they want, they aren't listening in on Jane Smith in Paducah, Kentucky. They are listening to Akbar talking to his child hood friend in Lebanon, or Zawahiri contacting his sleeper cell in Nebraska.
It is important to have people in power that are willing to bend the rules to accomplish the task at hand. If this country were run by the ACLU we would all be killed, famined, poverty stricken, or stuck in a depression.
This is a long thread. While re-reading all of it, I smoked a bowl and sipped a beer. Now I can't remember what I wanted to post. Something about having pride in where you live.... I dunno. Love aroud the world
Im very patriotic. I also love Canada.Quote:
