What Pisses You Off

[Peggy]

Make you wanna backslap someone?

Go ahead and vent. Lets see what tends to get us redfaced and ready to hurt someone.

Gas prices! I was just watching the American LeMan Series race at the 12 Hours of Sebring. This year the cars are using E85 ethanol and not gasoline, it's made from corn and bio-mass (with is a nice way to say garbage) and has 15% gasoline. It's 80% cleaner burning than gasoline and produces more horse power. But the real pisser was when they mentioned how much it costed the race teams. Which is a whopping $1.25 a gallon. Don't we grow corn in Ohio? Don't we have garbage too? I think we need to build a few more ethanol plants and a lot more flexfuel cars!

[Peggy]

Oh wow, I sure agree with you Ron!!

[Kent]

It pisses me off that for once I got tired early, went to bed before 1am and damn if I didn't wake up around 530am ...... Krap!

[Peggy]

That I made the mistake of not packing my son's lunch and he ate something with gluten in it, and is now paying for it. :banghead:

[Peggy]

~ Haven't had a cold in 2 1/2 years, and here now, one week before surgery I catch a doozy and we may have to postpone it.

:gah:

[Kent]

not getting enough sleep
waking up with a migraine
other shit that isn't important



sorry to hear you got a cold peggy, did they give you a z-pak?

[Peggy]

yeah, and it's knocking the crap outta me. It was all I could do to sit through my son's IEP meeting this morning. Just sat down to check our sites, and I'm goin' to bed. Been up all night sneezin' and wheezin'.

People who lie

People who call me a liar (I only believe in the truth)

Gas Prices (which in turn is jacking up all the prices of everything everywhere)

Crooked politicians with empty campaign promises

life in general

[Kent]

I'm from Ohio, a so called central state and not to be considered a southern state. But, The larger part of my family (Kin) are from a southern state so when I get teased that I have a southern drawl, which I don't, I guess it's not that much of a surprise.
I like southern women, I like southern style cooking and I love southern tea aka sweet tea.
But again, so many in the northern states, know as Yankee's, think that anyone from or anyone with southern blood are stupid for the most part, not trained in the finer things, and just dense.
So, for those Yankee's that think they're so damn smart, see if you can pass this Southern Test. I bet those snooty Ivy League students past and present wouldn't stand a chance in scoring even 50%, but ya just neva know do does ya?

Funny thing is, I've done that... :eek:

[Kent]

and you admit to it? :huh:



otay!

[Peggy]

:yes:

[Kent]

Okay, so you have admitted to doing that, but have you ever, even in a moment of pure silliness, plopped down in the middle of a wally world and parked yourself on a pile of doggie pillows?

[Raven]

I haven't done that, but I do in stores see a chair or anything that needs to be sat in. I will sit there like I belong there. Having a bad neck sometimes I need to rest.

I have this obsession where I need to make the talking toys talk and squeek the toys that need to be squeeked. I will get them all going at once and everyone will turn around and look.

[Kent]

How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.
And then there are just - Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You Call me White boy, Cracker, Honkey, Whitey, Caveman, and that's OK.
But when I call you Nig`er, Kike, Towel head, Sand-Nig`er, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink, you call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you,
So why are the ghettos that you choose to remain in and not better yourself to get out of, the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Hispanic History Month.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Asian History Month.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Kawanza.
You have the NAACP.
And you have BET. If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) ..... We'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day ..... You would call us racists.

If we had White History Month ..... We'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, ..... We'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, A Black Chamber of Commerce, And then we just have the plain
Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that?

If we had a college fund that only gave White students scholarships ...... You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US, yet if there were 'White-only Colleges' ..... THAT would be a racist college.

In the Million-Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, ..... You would call us racists.

You are proud to be black,brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride ..... You call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer Who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society ..... You call him a racist.

I am proud. ..... but, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only Whites can be racists?
There is nothing improper about this message, in fact it's a right I have as an AMERICAN to freely speak my mind as well as obey it's laws and any rules I must. Even as I post this message I am following the sites rules as rules keep order.

Yes, I'm proud, proud to be an American first and foremost, and I just happen to be what some say is white, that's a label others put on me. I wear the red white and blue of my nation, not the tone of the pigments of my body.




Now, how many reading this thought from the title this was a skinhead post?

[Peggy]

I have to agree with every word, because every word is true. Segregation continues, and while some of it may still be at the hands of "whites" most of it is, nowadays, at the hands of those who feel the need to call themselves African-American, Mexican-American, etc etc.

Why can't we just all be Americans?

[jozella]

Idiot neighbors who let their dumb dogs bark all night long.....grrr
That really pisses me off!

[Peggy]

ain't it the truth :yes:

[jozella]

Yes, it is. I honestly don't know how they are sleeping, cause I sure am not!

[Peggy]

and you can't help but hate the dog, tho you know it's not the poor mutt's fault.

[Kent]

could always super glue their lips together :huh:

[jozella]

Whose? The dog or the owner;)

Whose? The dog or the owner;)

yes

Busting your hump at the office because the others can't carry their weight. :mad:

Friends who suddenly find religion and decide to force it on you.

Nothing today! :bunny:

David Olofson has been subjected to a gross miscarriage of justice. What happened to Olofson could happen to any American who owns a semi-automatic firearm.
He was convicted of knowingly transferring an unregistered machine gun -- a standard semi-auto rifle which fired two three-round bursts and then jammed. Gun owners call that a malfunction. The federal government calls it an easy way to get a felony conviction. Olofson was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison.
David Olofson is an information technology professional with a wife, three children and a mortgage. Until his conviction, he was also in the National Guard.
The Olofson Relief Fund has been set up to allow concerned Americans to help the Olfoson’s make their mortgage and (their one) car payments while Dave is unable to work.
If you decide to contribute to the Olofson Relief Fund, your credit card will be charged monthly for the amount you have indicated. This will continue until Olofson is out of prison -- or you notify us to discontinue the charges. Gun Owners of America is acting as the agent for the fund. All moneys collected will be transferred regularly to the mortgage and car loan holders. These contributions are not tax-deductible. To read about this case in greater detail, see www.gunowners.org/op0850.htm (http://www.gunowners.org/op0850.htm). An Amicus brief (and secondary appendix) filed by GOA on Mr. Olofson's behalf can be read here (http://www.gunowners.org/US_v_Olofson_-_Brief_of_Appellant_w-App.pdf) and here (http://www.gunowners.org/US_v_Olofson_Appendix_B.pdf). Also, CNN video coverage is archived at www.gunowners.org/svtb.htm (http://www.gunowners.org/svtb.htm).

This is an older topic but everyone should know about what they have done to this guy .

October 27, 2008



Home Depot has it's new holiday Website up and running. You can find many gifts for the holidays. You can even find gifts for Hanukkah. But Christmas? Home Depot's Website hasn't a single reference to Christmas. Not one. At Home Depot, Christmas doesn't exist!

Home Depot has elected to go with the politically correct crowd and censor Christmas, replacing it with holidays.

Now, I called the local Home Depot and talked to the main manager and he agreed that corporates stance is something he doesn't agree with. He said that the items come to the store packaged and they have no control over what it says and he did say that so far, all say holidays and not Christmas, but, he also said they do and will have Christmas Signs, Banners, Aisles, and all employees will greet people with Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. He agreed that our, that being American, values are being thrown away.
While I applauded his stance, I still will not buy from Home Depot until I see t heir ads with Christmas all over the place, and I hope you will do the same.

__________


This is what I wrote to the chairman today. If you want to use it or modify it, go for it.

Dear Chairman Blake:

I am outraged that Home Depot has censored Christmas from its Website. Home Depot promotes Hanukkah and holidays, but not Christmas. Why?
And holiday lights, ornaments and such, but for what holiday would that be for? Easter? Halloween? No, it's Christmas things.
You seem to be so worried that you might offend those from other lands that live here, but what, screw the rest? What about our values, our traditions? You don't care? That's fine, if you don't care about my traditions and the traditions that has served America and the United States well for all these years, then you don't deserve and you will not get another dime from me, and I will do everything I can to take those I know and anyone else that will listen to never shop at home depot ever again.

This whole political correctness thing has gotten way out of hand and your company is by your actions, saying to the people of this land that you just don't care. We have existed with Christmas, Hanukkah and even those that don't get into the season, but now you wish to push yet another American Event out the door.

You've turned your back on us Mr. Chairman, so watch as we turn our backs on you and home depot.

If you even get this I don't expect a reply and if it's a canned reply just don't even bother. I don't care what you have to say unless it's that you were wrong and the word, just a damn word of Christmas is placed back on items, in ads and in the media. If I see that take place, fantastic, the tool kit I plan on getting my son and the other tool gifts I was planning to buy at home depot will take place, but if not, then I'm sure Wall Mart, K-Mart, Lowes and tru-value will appreciate my business.

I hope you will immediately correct this situation and make Christmas an integral part of your company's advertising and promotion. If not, then I will take my business to your competitors.

[Peggy]

EXCELLENT!! I will follow suit this evening.
