In all seriousness, I am so tired of listening to uniformed people who happen to be of liberal persuasion speaking their minds on social issues. This is honestly the way I see it, 100%:
I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires. I believe the
money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!
ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the:
United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.
Try to have things like the:
United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens.
Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry self if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in
English, see the above lines.I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed.
I know what the definition of lying is.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.
I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and
put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"
"I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me french fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

its about respect. And social responsibility. If you want to be an asshole, hey go for it.
It worked for Scrooge McDuck.

just a query. why has a design forum become a sniping crowd or soap-box for liberal vs. conservative opinions? who gives a fuck about it all. start with the designer stuff for fucks sake and leave you're baggage at the door.
just my 2cents.

So fuck off then.

I felt it was appropriate to bring up these issues given tomorrow's national holiday. So many Americans these days have transformed into ungrateful, self-loathing critics of the nation that has brought them freedom and prosperity.
It's sickening to be honest.
- Kinda true.********

- You can love your country and still be a critic. Some people see their freedom and prosperity sadly leaving.Transit_Broadcast

"I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies."
isn't that what the crack addicts says too. lol.

Nations don’t bring freedom and prosperity – people do. And none of them are in power now.

many people who gather here aren't actually american. i appreciate your patriotism but please, can anyone who feels like a political or social rant find a political or social forum? you may then get a reasonable discourse which could be great. but again, i go back to the 'this is a design forum' bit which i realise i'm chomping at. apologies for my small mind by cheese and crackers, this is a design forum. isn't it?

the rantings of a grumpy old man have very little to do with patriotism or honoring the troops.
- hedge0
How are they simply rantings? Please, by all means, challenge my dissertations using sound logic and reason.
