Put Me on BET...NOW
I demand a vital position on the BET network. Ya know, the cable channel you turn to and see nothing but black faces. Well, a group of young greedy asians, blacks, and hispanics have sued Abercrombie & Fitch claiming that whites got better positions and they hurt "miorities" in doing so...plus, there advertising is "too white." Find me ONE case where a white individual sues a company that is "too black." I assure you, it won't be easy to find one, and most probably impossible. Whites don't have this obsession with imaginary racism that others do (as it seems.)
The company paid a $40 million settlement, but admitted no wrongdoing-they said it was better to pay than to go through a long draw out ordeal that would cost even more money and would possibly taint their image.
As anyone can tell- a $40 million settlement means one thing. The people bringing the lawsuit were interested in one thing and one thing only- money. Lots and lots of money...which tends to kill any case that what they're saying is true. Proving such supposed discrimination is ultimately impossible for the most part...it's all about perception. It's highly unlikely the company had an official policy that said- let's fire everyone who isn't white...and never allow anyone but whites get promoted. The PC screwed up world we live in stipulates that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE must be made happy. If you do nothing at all, yet offend one whiny person, then you might be totally screwed. To me, that seems to be the case here. As I said, the amount of money is so obscene, it's clearly a ploy for cash, and 2. these individuals will be painted with what I will call the "whiny bastards" bush forever.
I'll say it again, and we all know it's true. These issues are almost always the same. So called discrimination is in the eye of the beholder for the most part, and this is almost surely a case of some greedy young people who thought they could get away with nonsense, and actually succeeded in doing so.
I might be totally wrong about all of this, but I find it hard to believe a major corporate entity would have an official policy of intolerance and racism- that's bad for business, and it kills your chances of making the most amount of money, which is the very purpose of being in business to begin with. If I am right, these people should know it's unlikley they'll ever get good jobs when an employer see their pictures- you don't go out and hire people who might sue you! Plus, I guarantee you the opinion of most people is the same as mine...this was a money grab and nothing more, and these people are WAY to sensitive and are obsessed with imaginary racism. They see themselves as victims now, and most people hate victimology- the mindset that others owe you something for some made up pain they brought you.
All I can say is- good luck with the cash boys and girls, you're gonna need it. Once you're painted with "whiny bastard" brush, very few people will stand by your side ever again.
Hey muslims (as they story talks about muslims who are pissed)- stop your unending whining. Why is it you don't scream out in protest when terrorists use your so-called holy places for military bases or weapons stashes, yet you're the first ones to cry foul when a marine kills a man who is pretending to be dead...in a city where your fellow muslims are killing innocent people and doing their best to derail any possible peace by littering the place with dead bodies connected to bombs, in an attempt to kill anyone who comes near the dead or wounded. You have no answer to these questions, because you sympathize with what these terrorists do. If you didn't, you'd scream about it...you'd protest. You don't. You choose to protest the marines risking their lives for your sorry asses. It's sickening, and I'm near the point where I don't give a damned about your country anymore. THAT is the effect of your whining and your protests.

Poor Michael Badnarik is so clueless. He's destroying any chance he might ever have of holding ANY public office by whining like a little girl, demanding a state-wide recount in Ohio, claiming all the votes were counted. The same song the left and others sang in Florida in 2000, yet every recount came up nearly the same, which showed that all the votes were, indeed, counted. Libertarian candidates are almost always clueless, in that some of their views are just downright absurd and no one would approve of them. Drug legalization? Great idea, boys...now go away and come back when you have a SERIOUS candidate. I think Bednarik is the guy whose official policy is that we should cut off every single dollar of foreign aid we send out. That idea is so stupid, it should be criminal, good thing for Mikey boy, it isn't...because he'd be someones bitch in a cell right now.

Desperate Houswives...aka, a handful of dumb whores in the suburbs. Why anyone watches this crap, I don't know. I, myself, don't like whores and I don't like watching them every week. Call me a prude../or a man with a brain.

In an attempt to prove their entire profession a joke...a group of mental health professionals have blasted Rush Limbaugh for mocking sufferers of what the mental health quacks have labeled Post Election Selection Trauma or PEST. In some areas they will hold free group therapy sessions for people who suffer from this terrible infliction. Not to bash all mental health professionals, some of them are great and have common sense and brains...unfortunately the majority of them are insane yahoos who have no idea whatsoever.
May this be a warning...stay away from the American Health Association (AHA), who has doctors who are attacking Limbaugh. Any group that supports a phony disease (PEST), and attacks those who mock the imaginary are people you surely want to stay clear of.
