Sure.Repeat after me:
"I got nothing, jerky."
That was deep and philisophical on so many levels . . .
No, of course you don't have a problem with them, as long as they cut your grass for $5, take care of your kids for $10 a week, or harvest your food for $1 a day.
No, you don't have a single problem with that.
It's just that when they need help that your ass gets tighter than before you first started having anal sex.
And, this Vato has no guilty conscience whatsoever . . . I sleep well at night. However, you probably need to go to confession to talk to that priest that's ass ing you about the hatred you have for "the little brown people."

Or the government could drop weed and coke to lower schedules so purchasing, distributing and possessing them wouldn't put you in the slammer...
Seriously, the government is so ing whack here I'm surprised they haven't legalized half of the drugs on schedule I and II just so they can ing monopolize the industry and tax the out of everyone.
And all of you losers who get on people's case about criticizing the government need to go get ing laid or some . If you can't see that America has gone from a country founded to get away from taxation and oppressive government only to 200+ years later be a ing mirror image of what they went to war to escape from, then you need to get your head checked.
We're a $1.50 gas e away from another civil war.
I mow my own grass, I take care of my own kid, and I don't eat ty $1 a day food.
And that's some anal fixation you have there. I'm not Catholic, but aren't most Mexicans? Just wondering...
I'm glad I support the drug market with my excessive pot use.
me sideways if some old, fat, rich ass white man wipes his ass with my money.
You're a credit to your race.
You're the one who wants me to bite you.And that's some anal fixation you have there. I'm not Catholic, but aren't most Mexicans? Just wondering...
So, I guess your the giver not the taker in your gay relationships?
No , we're being taxed up the ass for every little thing. And, once they figure out that they could make a load of money taxing pot . . . they're going to legalize the mother er.
Gas is a mother ing joke!! I can't believe people are not making a bigger fuss about this.
Ohhh, but get some Mexicans in an ER and all breaks loose.
Amen to that.
I'm more man than you'll ever be, and more woman than you'll ever have, puto.
This is too much fun, but I'm outta beer.
Time for a b-double e-double r-u-n.
Out.
I know Hispanics love to bring that up, except that Mexico never successfully settled its claims in most of that territory. This is why the Mexican government invited Anglos to settle Texas in the first place. Mexican farmers were not interested in venturing to the arid north amidst hostile Indian tribes.
If somebody has the right to be pissed off about what transpired, it would be the Navajos, the Pueblos, the Apaches, and the Utes.
So, you're a hermaphodite.
I'm more man than you'll ever be, and more woman than you'll ever have, puto.
Interesting.
**In case you don't know what a hermaphodite is (because of the lack of an actual education) it would be a she-male**
You should really go into porn as a she-male star. You could make a load of money. There are all sorts of she-male loving s in the country. You'll be a hit in San Fransico.
I can see it now: AlamoSpursFan: She-Male PornStar.
You'll be famous, and you'll never have to worry about Mexicans ever again.
I absolutely agree.
The Natives are the only people who have a REAL reason to .
But, your previous point about Mexico never successfully settling claims in their territory. How do you think that even makes sense??
So, using your rationale, all territories owned by the U.S. that are not currently settled are open for the taking??
I can claim territory for myself as long as the territory is not settled??
If they ever took all the Mexicans out of Houston, I don't know who would do the work. One Mexican does the work of two rednecks.
I am thankful for San Antonio and the Valley, I must admit. They serve as an immigrant filter. All the lazy people just looking to get on the government dole stop there, while further north we get all the freaking entrepreneurs.
Taxation in the US is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen. I don't go to other countries, don't know about their tax situations, and obviously don't give a otherwise I'd live in another country and not here, but we're really close to people killing each other for gas...or at least robbing people for their money to buy gas.
I give it another year before local stores can't sell cigarettes because when I go to buy an ounce from my pot dealer, I'm going to be buying black market smokes from him too.
MP3 sharing was just the beginning. Then downloading movies. I love how iTunes tries to act like they're doing the recording industry a favor. I haven't bought a legit CD since I was 12. I've bought a few DVDs since DVD burning became affordable, but my 4 binders full of copied DVDs far outweighs the shelf of DVDs in my living room that isn't even ing filled yet.
I don't see why anyone is surprised about people going to Mexico for healthcare. America is just out to rob you. Old, fat, rich guys wanting to wipe their ass with your money. Welcome to America, where we on you and take your money.
The United States controls all of the territory it claims. If you tried to set up the Republic of My Brown Ass somewhere in the Chihuahuan desert northwest of Del Rio, you would not get very far.
The same could not be said of the Mexican government with regard to its northern territories. Their control was tenuous to the degree it existed at all. They could not get many towns established north of the tropics. San Antonio was a tiny village of Franciscan missions. Monterrey was an outpost. Santa Fe was a lonely colonial town that survived only because the Pueblo were peaceful. Alta California was a collection of missions running along the coast. They could not defend their settlers effectively against Indian incursions. The native tribes controlled the territory. The idea that it really was Mexican territory was just lines on a map.
You can contrast that with Anglo settlement of the same lands. Within two years of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, settlers were pouring westward.
Gas in other countries runs between 5 and 8 dollars a gallon. They drive smaller cars. Of course, they can fit in smaller cars because unlike Americans they aren't all 300-lb tubs of lard.
But I get your point about the rich in this country. The old-money fat cats have abandoned all pretense of even appearing to play above-board. They are in straight bend-the-middle-class-over-and-rape-them-for-all-you-can-get mode. Take Governor Perry. He basically is running state government on behalf of Cintas. This is now a country of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.
The last time this happened was in the late 1800's. It kept on happening until people were working 100-hour weeks, their kids were being forced to work 100-hour weeks, and they made barely enough income to eat. They lived in filthy company tenements, and the company swindled them into debt so far they basically became indentured servants.
That regime ended when workers began killing wealthy people. One even killed President McKinley. Then the wealthy classes got scared into reforms. When the Depression happened, the wealthy families thought they could get their revenge on the middle and working classes, but then FDR got elected. The wealthy folks tried to overthrow FDR and ins ute a fascist state, but their coup failed.
Obviously, we aren't as bad off as the working classes were 100 years ago, but I think we'll start shedding blood again long before it gets to that point.
San Antonio a tiny village of Franciscan missions????
What are you talking about???
San Antonio was the capital city of Coahuila y Tejas, a Mexican state that had a range of modern day Texas to the modern day state of Coahuila in Mexico. It also included part of modern day Nuevo Leon.
San Antonio was integral for Mexico, everything above that was a buffer zone.
As for Monterrey just being an outpost, you are very wrong. As a matter of fact, that's where the American forces had the most trouble during the Mexican-American War.
But, going back to lines on a map . . . what you're saying is that since Mexico couldn't defend it's borders, that was justification enough to take their territories?
And, it's never just lines on a map. Never. Nations have fought to the death over lines on a map.
That holds no water.
San Antonio had a population of 600 in 1835. It was a frontier village. It was important because it was the northernmost settlement that was secure enough to maintain trade with the United States.
It was never the capital of Coahuila y Tejas. That state had capitals at Saltillo and Monclova. San Antonio was the capital of the Bexar district.
While the Mexican Army fought admirably at Monterrey, the city itself only had a population of hundreds, and even then was subject to devastating Indian raids, never mind the Americans.
Overall, a few thousand people lived in Mexico's northern reaches, as opposed to seven or eight million in the central part of the country.
What I am saying is not that the U.S. was justified in conquering what are now its southwestern territories, but that your indignation over Mexico's being deprived of its unsettled northern claims is quite silly and a bit hypocritical, since the land was occupied primarily by the native tribes, who had lived there continuously for centuries, rather than Mexican citizens. The Mexican claims were as unjustifiable, colonialist, and racist as the American ones.
So unless your family happens to be one of few hundred dispossessed landowner families who got screwed over when the Americans came to town, then your ancestors had no legitimate claim to Texas, and your point about these Mexican immigrants allegedly taking over something that rightfully belongs to them is a load of crap, unless you are loyal to the government of Mexico.
Mexican immigrants are welcomed because they are good people who work their asses off to get ahead (I grew up in San Antonio, and am well aware it is the exception to that rule), not because they have some "claim" to the land.
I'm assuming that's due to surgical errors? Otherwise, its not that surprising given that a certain number of patients will be a in a fragile enough state that they can't make it through surgery.
It is a very dangerous surgery with high risk of infection.
Wow lots of angry people on this thread.
Well, the world is an angry place. The problem with the world is that theres no way to please every single person.
I like your take on this, it's a little more sane than mine. But that's exactly how it is. One thing that's pretty current is the new min wage "hike" that began last week. I believe it just bumped up to $5.85 from $5.15. Min wage earners will enjoy that increase on their first paycheck. Until they realize they probably aren't even earning $50 more per check. The failure of minimum wage is that, when it first was passed, it wasn't passed with relation to the value of a dollar increasing. Min wage should be between $9 and $11 right now in order for the people who earn it to have a fair standard of living.
The rich get richer, and the poor stay poor. America hates the little guy.
One problem is that the American dream has morphed into the American en lement, that is, the guarantee that every year you are able to afford more than last year. Restraint is unheard of. Americans expect that they will succeed economically. And they spend like it.
When they don't get what they want, they expect their representatives to take care of it for them. Need more? We'll cut the tax rates on the middle class and jack up spending on their favorite handouts. Is it any surprise that the federal government currently spends beyond its means seemingly without concern about how tomorrow's bills will be paid when so many households do likewise?
I'm not ready to lay blame for this at the feet of the politicians. In the end, they give the masses what they want. Of course you will have to work longer and harder to tread economic water when you can't reign in your own spending.
And working longer and harder is a requisite for most Americans, especially those professionals pulling down $100K+.
