Bottomline: if you want respect, don't fit the image of a scumbag.


Main Entry: 1hate
Pronunciation: 'hAt
Function: noun
Usage: often attributive
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hete; akin to Old High German haz hate, Greek kEdos care
1 a : intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury{/B] b : extreme dislike or antipathy : LOATHING
2 : an object of hatred

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

WTF is the difference?

It seems you look down upon anyone who dosen't look, act, or dress like you.

The two cultures you listed in your sterotype are fundementally deeply respectful people....  The funny thing about it is you have to give it to get it.

Florida has them hit every year yet we keep sending millions of aid to them and never ask them to move do we? Some people on this board need to get a clue and open thier minds to new ideas and different points of view.  

Oh yeah I forgot to mention those people that live near forests are on thier own as well because if you lose your home to a forest fire it is your fault because you made your home out of a flamable material and not completely out of concrete.


Been livin in Dallas 20 years and aint seen a tornado yet.
Living in a forest is a silly arese example and you know it.
Living in a city that is BELOW sea level is just plain ignant and if you choose to do so dont come crying to uncle sam because your house got flooded.
Kinda like those who live in Kalifornia. they know there are earth quakes there
and yet thay still live there there choice as Is the folks in New Awlins just seems stupid to me.

cut and paste is about the exent of my computer skills, thanks for noticing.

as far as your point of view, no.

your tellling me that you develop an opinion of a person based on what they wear or how they look or dress that identifies a particular race and that makes no sense to me.

in the time that i have been in law enforcement i have learned not to take anything for granted and not judge a book by it's cover.

The friendly man wearing a button down suit that looks "ok" pulls out a pistol and smokes you when you walk up to his window to give him a parking ticket.

on the other hand the 18 year  old vato in the wife beater shirt and sagging khaki pants helps fight off two guys trying to assault you because you gave his little brother a junior trooper sticker at a resturant last week.


the point i'm trying to make is that things arent alway what they seem.  you can choose to live in a world of paranoia, only associating with those like you or the "others" that you deem worthy or you can step out and see whats out there.

you might be surprised.

concho... he is telling you that a person who is, or trys to look like a gangbanger is an evil person not worth knowing.

That is a very safe and sane way to think.  

Not every man covered in blood and wearing a hockey mask and coming at you with a chain saw is a murdering psyco either but it pays to treat him like one.
