Minorities Only Victimized The Difference Between Democrats And Republicans
 This is in response to George Pouliotte's letter. George Bush is the wildest-spending president
 By Num bers Not all liberals are anti-gun, but first a word in our lifetimes.
 about politics. Now, I don't think HR 1022 is as restrictive as
 a Mbo t it_ __IcsAT. --_ I, .- 4 U T---.4,-,4


 I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of any-
 thing 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.
 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 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 riot racial profiling:
it is the Law of Probability.
 I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cig-.
arettes, 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 sor-
ry butt 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 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 ho-
tel, 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 themm.''
"I think Bill, Gates' 'has every' right to,'kee every penny he
made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and in-
vent the next operating system that's better, and put your name.
on the building.
 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 peo-
ple, and ndt 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 Eu-
rope. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.
 And if you don't like my point of view, tough...
 I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC,/FOR WHICH
IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! AMEN!

 The only difference I see between Democrats you make it out to be, but I agree with your gener-
and Republicans is that Republicans want to take al premise.

Why Do We Have To Wait Years To Get Justice?
 Hi, this is one of victim's fiancee and i just got date again? I'm tired and I want justice to be
