like someone said earlier, lawyers ruined this country. if there is one person in this counrty that gets offended by something, a few legal actions later and its outlawed. welcome to the united states of lawyers :roll:

It sucks, but all the minorities feel they need to be catered to. If I had my way, no one would have it easy, that way no one could complain. Think about the Irish when they first started coming to america. NO ONE would hire them, the Italians hated them and it was damn near impossible for them to make it here in the states. fast forward to the present and the government is thinking about granting illegal immigrants the same rights as US citizens!
times are changing. we are on a bullet train headed straight for the bottom and the brakes just gave out. the government isnt worth a crap. everyone is suing everyone because they cant take responsibility for their own actions and the people trying to make an honest living are getting ****ted on. life sucks and then you die...at least I know it'll end at some point :lol: |
