You bet I do; most chose to not 'act white' and take advantage of the education offered to them. You're just too stupid to face facts that you are far more r****t than I am. It is people like you holding back b****s, not me. You think you are helping them with your handouts but you cause more harm than good. And you do even more harm when you tell them you will give them college or job opportunities based on the color of their skin rather than their educational background.

Again, do you Libtards ever listen to the s**t that comes out of your mouth?

Firstly, one must get rid of prejudices. I am talking when I find that the older I get the more feminist are my ideas. I have always believed that there are jobs that should be done by women and definitely, those relegated to men. Because of physical differences, I've always believed that there are around-the-house jobs that should definitely be left to men - those jobs that require upper body strength such as vacuuming, floor mopping and window washing. But on the other hand, women can certainly wield a pain brush.

The reason I choose those tasks is that in order to apply the required pressure, the woman t***sfers the stress to the abdomen. I could certainly put up a wall better than my husband (he wasn't too handy in spite of his brilliance).

At my age of 80 I must say I am annoyed with men still trying to score. I passed too many years feeling like a steak rather than being appreciated for my thoughts. Regarding mental work, I still think the female g****r, with the exception of those females who are trained not to think, can easily outdo the male.

In politics, with the exception of those two ditzes, Palin and Michelle what's her name, women can do a better job and would be working for peace. As an example: Warren (she is something else and I admire her in almost every area). In psychological tests the results have shown that when things are difficult, women will join together for strength rather than fighting. That fighting was necessary during the era of the cavemen but diplomacy would work much better today. As President Obama says, "war should be used ONLY as a last resort when diplomacy does not work." This world needs more men like him I can imagine the flack I'll be getting from that comment.

Oh, it is nice to have a door held open for one but I believe that should go both ways. I always hold a door open for anyone who is following me or is struggling with a burden. That's known as humanity.

I admire our President for his vision, empathy and emotional strength. Not too many could stand up to the crap that's been handed to him and still maintain dignity. If he behaved like most in Congress, we would have been at war over two years ago. I am often amazed at the lack of knowledge (as well as common sense) existing in so many of our "leaders."

I don't read Ms Magazine or even Good Housekeeping. I prefer National Geographic and viewing the interesting presentations on TED.com.

By the way, Galena is developing into an absolutely beautiful female. She is still holding onto her color with the exception of two little puffs of white directly behind her ears. Interestingly enough (ready for this?) Mierdito has become extra loving. It took him over two years to become so and he behaves more like a dog. Since you claim to speak Spanish, is it necessary to provide a t***slation of his name? I used the English version and decided it would sound better in Spanish. He is my prime breeder now and has such style with the ladies. Big Red is still trying unsuccessfully. I do wish he'd connect because he is such an exquisite cat.

I do hope you're having a great weekend. ;) ;) ;)

I fully support our freedoms! I do not concern myself with the occasional comment that has a curse in it..... I was upset when an individual only replied with profanity and nothing else....and it was directed at a very nice individual who was not even a party to the discussion. That bothered me.

Feel free to ask me anything. I will be honest with you in my replies and for the most part my responses will be based on evidence and not just on gut feelings. So, do ask. I welcome dialogues.

And yes.... I am so tired of Rod, so tired that I asked him to stop using my name, I also tried to explain that I am not sympathetic to his causes and find nothing in common with him/her/it. I made a mistake of trying to include a person who expressed loneliness and a need to be included. I invited it into a general chit chat. A COLOSAL MISTAKE!!

As for reporting issues. I have in the past....but the person was even more perverted (and is now gone) than Rod. So, I am not above using the report issue button....but, I really think about it a long time and I would have to be certain that the individual was not just insulting my sensibilities but others who are known for calm responses and comments.

I hear they speak a bunch of Spanish down that way, maybe even more than in Texas?

Nahhhhhhhhhhh, just kidding about Texas.

Hey, when you head down that way, could ya swing by and get me and mi amigo Poppa Gringo? We have worn out both the women and our welcome here in the states and we have been asked to leave yet another place.

You may have noticed we practice our Spanglish when we're on here, just in case there's room.

:wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja!

Antisocialist- I completely agree with you on this. Prior job experience is more often a requirement for a lot of jobs out there. No one and I mean no one should be given anything based on their ethnicity. PERIOD!

Semper Fi

Another point I forgot to mention was that by providing a job based on skin color alone actually more often than not is that the likelyhood of failure by an individual hired for this reason alone. In these times if a person of color is "GIVEN" a job and fails the ole race card is pulled out! Just sayin.

Semper Fi

A little side information: Castillian Spanish is not spoken in CR. A rule of thumb is that any word which would (in Spanish) end in "ito" such as momentito, is pronounced as momentico. The natives refer to themselves as Ticos. This was part of an effort to separate CR from Spain. Often, in the morning, people greet each other with "pura vida" which is more like a blessing similar to"aloha" in Hawaii. AND the "usted" form is preferred and not "tu." They are very polite people.

I don't know if this small lesson pleases you, but you got it. In Texas the Spanish spoken is mainly border Spanish and could never be understood by a Spaniard.

Pura Vida! :D :D :D

Why do you call him black? He is white. OK, he is half white ,half black. Why do you not call him white ? Why do you not call him mixed ? Or Oreo or zebra ? He is not black. Why not mulatto ? Black people said Clinton was the first black president which makes much more sense because he actually tried to help b****s. B****s have suffered more under white Barry than any president since civil rights. Whose side are you on anyway ? Most b***k A******ns now regret v****g for Barry. Barry is mixed, both white and black but regardless of his race he is not American and is mostly pro Arab.

I appreciate you not correcting my misspelling of your name, Alicia. Forgive me,but then how would I know, I had spelled it incorrectly and, hopefully, have now corrected my error? And, yes, I perceive the intent in your parting shot. Anyway, not knowing your age, or if you've ever read "Lonesome Dove"or watched the epic movie based on the works of Larry McMurtry, (a good ol Texas Boy)I could be wasting my time explaining what I see as an analogy between a character in the movie and you. The character is Laurie. Gus, another of the main characters is fond of Laurie, but he's also growing weary of listening to Laurie complain about where she's at, and her lot in life,and, if she could just get to, I think it is San Francisco, every thing would magically be okay. Gus in his exasperation finally says to her, "Laurie darlin, life is just life no matter where we happen to be" or something like that! So, my point being, try to see the good things about Texas. I don't suppose you would find the rich history of Texas all that glorious,or interesting, in your present frame of mind, but I can assure you that no other state can compare with the mystique, adventure,and romance, of Texas. However, I will suggest that a man's point of view could be quite different than a woman's. I remember reading a passage in one of the many articles I've read on Texas and its history that stated, "Texas is a state loved by men and dogs" which I found to be a profound assessment of the "Texas" of that era.
"Long Live Texas!"
