Prejudice.......comes in many forms....mine has nothing to do with skin color, just the truth.
A Mexican restaurant with Korean writing......we are in America, not Korea.
Pup-n-Taco........the name says it all...........
I have lived in California all my life as well, and all I see is it going to hell.......
I love seeing my tax money going to the welfare system......fine for the people who truly need help....temporarily.......not as a way of life. It is like saying "Ohhh 3 kids isn't enough.....go ahead and pop out 4 more...we would love to give you more $$$$$".
I love paying thousands of $$$ each year for auto insurance......I have to pay extra to cover the "uninsured motorists".
How about health care........I had to take my daughter to the hospital for a broken ankle......I have health insurance...that I pay for....the wait was over 4 hours.......why, because the people who do not have health insurance use the emergency room as a Dr.'s office.......
If that is what you call a diverse culture........I don't want any part of it........
Now as far as your "WHITE BREAD" comment..........my husband..........he goes to work, pays his taxes, pays insurance, supports his family, feeds his dog.......and he is MEXICAN!!!
Hold on a minute...I had to check my map to make sure because based on your comments, for a second I thought Temecula was actually in Mississippi or Alabama.
If you're paying thousands of dollars for insurance each year, you're either young, have a bad driving record, an exotic car or all of the above. I have 3 cars (all relatively new) and I pay about 1600/year with 250/500 liability and 1000 deductible comp/collision. Maybe you should change carriers.
As far as waiting in an emergency room is concerned, you should try the UK which has the same system of socialized medicine that the Clinton administration wanted us to have. You'll be waiting longer and in some cases you won't get what you're seeking...EVER. You're fortunate to have insurance and so am I. Not everyone does and many of those people are legal citizens. They don't have it because they can't afford it. Now, if you didn't have a job or insurance and your daughter broke her ankle, what would you do? I suppose we could make them "sit in the back of the bus" because they're uninsured while "we", the privately insured receive the services first "in the front of the bus" because we are more deserving.
By "white bread" I meant bland...starchy...bleached...no variety, no flavor....not necessarily "white". I don't want to live in any city where there's only one ethnicity...white, black, hispanic or asian. I know people of every one of these colors that do the same things your husband and I both do. They're called good citizens and it has nothing to do with the color of their skin. Lets face it, your comment about being rear-ended by an illegal alien halucinating about an image of the Virgin Mary on a freeway sign was as biased as saying "white people can't dance" or "jewish people are cheap"...you get the picture. So, say what you will about people who use social services but don't predicate it with the color of their skin. There are plenty of folks from every nationality standing in line for aid.
If you hate California so much, there are 49 states in this union to consider (and I'm sure none of them have welfare or emergency room lines
). I'm sure they'd be happy to have you and trade us for one of their "tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.".
By the way, I had to lie and include two of my neighbors kids on my application for welfare so that I could get more money to buy my new Mustang! I tell you, the USofA is going to hell in a handbasket...
The price of housing is out of control here that is for sure. Wouldn't trade So Cal weather for anything however, and wouldn't live anywhere else. So to each his own.[/QUOTE]
Brilliant!
