I thought you might enjoy this one!
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.

And if you don't like my point of view, tough. DON'T PASS IT ON!!

That's all fine if that's your opinion, UU. Just one question, what does the title of this thread mean?

well enough about you...

something I posted on the "other side"

ok here is a few things you need to know about me.
why?
because in light of the interesting happenings latly I think it is importan to be open about who I am incase you ever want to hike with me.


1. im a slow hiker
2. I snort when I laugh
3. I I have been known to spit out liq. from my nose if i get to laughing hard enough
4. I whine when I have not had enoguh sleep
5. I drug myself when I got backpacking so I can sleep at night so im not cranky in the AM from lack of sleep
6. I look at my map ever 2 mins because I LOVE MAPS!
7. I will stop at the sight of all wildlife and watch it until I get bored or the animal runs away.
8. I like to be the drive (its an ego thing really)
9. I like to take breaks
9. I am not a gear junkie but I love to learn about your gear so I can dream about it while im in my drug endused coma.
10. I do not like hiking more then 8 to 10 miles a day
11. I may or may not laugh at you when you do a face plant in the snow.
But I will take a photo just so i can prove that I DID NOT PUSH YOUR @SS DOWN because ive had enough of you.
12. I am very easy going when I am in the woods. But I get edgy when Im getting ready for a trip.



any questions?

It is amazing that Bill Gates always gets worked into these "rant" letters. I wonder if he hires someone to write them?
