On Gas Station and Oil Company Profits

I am not particularly concerned about my expense. And I prefer to pollute by driving over the Prius scum in my H3 (twice the pollution).

However, I do care about those who have to pay such ridiculous prices and only make minimum wage or hell even three times minimum wage for that matter. I can not imagine putting almost an entire week's pay into a gas tank (and I used to), thanks to a long commute because of bloated real estate prices nearby to a job, while trying to support a family when some suit is macking around in his silver and gold encrusted Benz, groping a pro' or two, while sipping a MaiTai and eating lobster for brunch.

Of course, then again, I suppose I can understand how anyone who has had everything handed to them would feel that this thread is a waste.

Here we go again.

We just need a couple new leaders that aren't profitting on a personal level from us emptying our wallets at that pump. At the same time the cost of living goes up every year, so gas is never going to be as low as we remember it being. Whatever, buy a hybrid if your worried about it.

As a side note on the immigration thing, the talking heads keep stating how stupid the notion is of sending 12mil of 'em home. Ike sent 1 mil home, so what's the big deal? Roosevelt sent 2 mil home during the depression. Is that what it takes? Does our country have to go to crisis levels before the idiots on the hill take care of their OWN FREAKIN' PEOPLE?

The other thing that Geraldo and those like him keep bringing up about splitting up families? So friggin' what? Who made 'em do what they're doing. I could care less, it was their decision.

Anchor babies should be stopped IMMEDIATELY. If the mom's illegal, so's her droppings.

What about that BS that they're doing work that Americans won't do? That's just what it is. It's self fulfilling. They come up here in droves and drive the price of labor down so far that OF COURSE Americans won't lay brick, drive a nail, or dig a trench for $7 an hour!!!! NOR SHOULD THEY BE EXPECTED TO!

So an apple would cost a buck. So what. Take the cost off our medical, schools, law enforcement, helll, every single aspect of our infrastructure, I can't even begin to imagine the Paradise we'd be living in.

No more dirty diapers in the carts at Walmart. No more 8 hour emergency room visit. Our parks around here wouldn't be overrun with 'em. I could go on for days about how their culture is so different, and irritating than ours. Even going to the planning department at the county to take care of business I've had to wait for HOURS while they deal with the notices of violation for these people because they don't respect our codes. I can't believe my ears sometimes. One dummy seriously thought that it was his right to put SIX single wides on a quarter acre lot!!!!! Who's paying for the extra load on the infrastructure? We are. Higher medical bills, more taxes, you name it.

Look at El Paso. They actually have an EXTRA LANE built across the border now because of the morning and afternoon traffic from their kids going to our schools. Fancy that. Our own poor people can't bus their kids to a better school district yet we have illegals taking advantage of our system.

I just brought my wife home from the hospital. They had four pandejos out in the courtyard blowing crap around with their blowers and yelling at each other over the machine noise. I coulda shot 'em. My sick wife just layed her head down and it sounded like we were in a mariachi weed blowing contest.

This morning, of course, the old mexican woman next door to my wife's room's family came in.... alllllllllll fuggin' dayyyyyyyyyy long. The whole cotton pickin' burrito showed up. Think they'd leave the kids in the waiting room with an adult? Heyalllllll no, it sounded like a nursery. Running, screaming, pounding. Jesus Christo! I brought it up to the little latina nurse and she looked at me like I'd lost my cracker mind.

No, I'm not a bigot. I'm just overrun, overwhelmed, and basically seeing anything and everything resembling the country I was brought up in being destroyed because the politicians want more voters. Idiots.

I'm sitting here right now promising the equivalent of two bus tickets for any illegal over the border in campaign contributions to the first politician that seriously will take care of this problem.

Lest anyone think I'm a bigot, they'd need to check out what's happening down in Mexico. I've got a buddy that owns a business and house in Ensenada. His taxes have gone up 100% each year for the past three years. Funny thing is, his neighbors haven't gone up at all!

What a fine mess we're in.

It made me sick to see Bush being ruled by Vicente Fox. We should tell 'em this: "Ok, we'll take all your poor people and criminals, but we get the oil fields too." I could deal with that. Fuggem.

HEY! I love mexican food. I eat it everyday, so I guess Im supporting them. I dont like mowing my own lawn, and who is supposed to flip my burger for me when I want one at 1am on a Friday night? Our country has bigger issues then the mexicans or immigrants that are here. The shiz rolls downhill as they say, and guess what, it starts at the top.

[stagger_lee]

Yuck, menudo is sick. I didnt say I like them, just the food and services. :beer: And really a wall is suppose to keep them in or out. Hahaha, you're talking about people that use shovels and ladders everyday for work. Another brilliant plan from a brilliant leader. Douche of the decade award to you Mr. President!

Gotta love some of the brain power on here - now opinions are propaganda.

Anyone else ready to become an ex-pat? Let's all invade Mexico

[stagger_lee]
