I hope there IS a hell for some people...what sweet justice! I hope there's "viewing windows" so we can gawk and laugh too.

Could one of the white male racist supremacists please tell me what they did to earn being lucky enough to be born a white male, which is clearly the single biggest advantage in this country?

The ultimate irony is that the ones whining the most, would have also been the most militant had they been born black (and/or female) and suffered a lifetime of racism and prejudice at the hands of people exactly like they are now.

The flaming hypocrisy is staggering.

What an idiotic statement. But, if you insist on an answer, maybe God loves us more? Maybe we were lucky to be from different breeding? Maybe it is because white folks from Europe founded this country after taking it from savage natives? Personally, I enjoy the idea that perhaps GOD smiled upon me and allowed me to be born before abortion was legalized.

SO, what's your answer? Obviously, you do not like being white. Is it because you are a failure and you have no way to blame it on anyone but yourself? Or, are you one of those liberal lefties that have had everything given to you and now you resent the fact that it was too easy?

But, if you think it was easy for any of us, then you have never experienced the destruction and stagnant services caused by Affirmative Action. You have not been the victim of Affirmative Action and had to watch others being promoted or given a job instead of you because you were not a female or black. Maybe that is what makes me your superior, because I have overcome those obstacles and succeeded, where you were given the free ride throughout your life.

:a20:

I have been extremely successful in my chosen field of work (in a very tough and demanding industry), but never took for granted that being born a white male helped me out tremendously.

You're simply too stupid and ignorant to have figured out yet, that you didn't really do it all yourself.

Enjoy your last, bitter and hate-filled years.

You ARE superior, THAT is why they NEED quotas and affirmative action. Get it? You were born a white male, the pinnacle. They were born a woman, black, a goat or a turtle, all inferior.

Face it, you're all jealous because we ARE better. You have to make rules to KEEP US DOWN because we are superior. Let's be honest for ONCE. White European males built this world.

Well lets look at that statement.....

Who built the railroads...The Irish built the Union Pacific and the Chinese built the Central Pacific.

Who dug the subway tunnels in NYC? The Midtown tunnel? Lincoln tunnel? Laid the foundations for the Brooklyn bridge? The Irish did that including my uncle!

To coin a phrase "You didn't built that!!!!"

Irish are white the last time I looked at one. They're European. And they were MEN. Women did none of that.

You thought you had a zinger to prove me wrong? You reinforced my position.

Who designed and supervised that railroad and tunnel? Minorities? I don't think so.

I hate to admit it, but you are right. I didn't really do it all by myself. I had GOD's help. Not man's help, but GOD's help. So, technically you are right. And it was not because I am white. If that was so, then all those blacks and females that were given higher positions than me, when they certainly did not qualify, would not have been able to. Nope, being white might make me right (just kidding....or maybe not) but I made my way without anyone's help but GOD's grace.

If you wish to make excuses or apologize for being white, go for it. You speak for yourself, not me. Personally, I believe that if I was black or a female, I would have done even better in my multiple careers.

You have it all wrong. Influenced entirely by your obvious gender bias....and gender.

Slaves and women and other minority groups for centuries, generation after generation did the same thing, following their heritage, in the same exact footsteps. They had no reason to ever expect other wise.

It was not until the politicians got involved and detected they could buy their way into some very large voting blocks by shining the light on the inequalities of women, blacks, special intest and minority groups. Then began the advent of granting the few some benefits the majoeity had to work for and earn. All in the name of equality.

For the sake of argument let's start with the MLK era going forward. Integration! Lowering the bar the lower qualified to attain more! And so on....you all know the sequencing of the advancement of the under achieving groups.

Fast forward to the 21st century here in the USA. Degenerated core values. Low expectation for performance! Subsidy from the government for the above name special interest minority groups! The advancement of gays, transgenders, etc! Sharing the wealth!
Permissiveness without bounds! Selective and at times no law enforcement depending on which minority group was affected. Most recently the abandonment of border controls allowing illegal aliens to flow freely into our country.

All these things and more all structured to accomdate the MINORITY groups or situations that bring with them a potential vote.

So get over yourself and your campaign against white men old or other wise.
If it were not for them most of you would still be walking behind a plow horse.

And now that the last 50 to 75 years is starting to show it's effect....as a result of all the compromises made made for the benefit of the so called minority and illegal groups....our beloved country is in decline. Held up by the white males who own everything and are the biggest contributors into the system that affords all the benefits to the minority groups.

So as they become outnumbered....the coloring and moral degeneration, unlawful America is fast becoming an also ran in the world where it dominated and led for centirues.

So take your sexists positioning and face the reality. If it were not for the politicians finding a benefit the status of most of the minorit groups would not have advanced as they would continue to be left behind by those who were either motivated or naturally more capable.

FACTS OF LIFE!

The vote is what helps keep out the facists. Should we eliminate the vote?

Hmmmmnnnn. Now just what the :censored: does that mean?

The Irish are white but NOT European! If you are not Irish, and I am, you would remember the hate we endured. Signs like "Irish need not apply". As a 10 year old, during the Kennedy election I remember what was said.....He was going to turn the country over to the Pope!

Sounds a lot like the rhetoric we are hearing now!

And your sounding just a touch sexist! Women have contributed to building this country.

After 1860, many Irish sang songs about "NINA signs" reading Help wanted – no Irish need apply. (A variation was, Irish need not apply, or INNA).[26] The 1862 song, "No Irish Need Apply", was inspired by NINA signs in London. Later Irish Americans adapted the lyrics and the songs to reflect the discrimination they felt in America.

You never experienced discrimination if you were 10 when Kennedy was running for office.

You are trying to throw the "poor you" card pretending you have been a victim too.

Guess again:

The designer of the Mid Town tunnel Ole Singstand from Norway.

Ole Singstad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He also designed the Lincoln tunnel.....

It's waste of time correcting the bigots and racists. They can't help it. Maybe it's genetic.

Are you kidding? Who do you think you're voting for? The parties have absolute control.

For a while they were looked down upon, but look at them now, the same as everyone else. Why didn't/couldn't other minorities do the same? It's not skin color, Indians from India are respected.

Women contributed by having the children who became the men who built everything.

He's a white guy...he's not a "minority".

When you have facts, and just SAYING you have them doesn't count, post them for all to see.

For a while they were looked down upon, but look at them now, the same as everyone else. Why didn't/couldn't other minorities do the same? It's not skin color, Indians from India are respected.

There was part of a thread about Indian doctors being inferior. I owe you an apology. You're not as racist as I thought. You draw the line at Indians from India. That's a step in the right direction.

The vote is what helps keep out the facists. Should we eliminate the vote?
Are you kidding? Who do you think you're voting for? The parties have absolute control.

The party leaders are facists? They control the money? They control who lives or dies? They control freedom of the press? Are you a Bernie supporter? He is an independent.

Independent????? He's participating in the Democrat primary. If not for this, no one would even give him the time of day. He IS dependent, not Independent.

Look how they live...everywhere. Look how they're at the bottom...everywhere. What more evidence do you need? It's not racism when it's the facts.

You disagree? Look at how Obama forced gay rights, black rights, Obamacare down our throats, we had no say. "We" elected a guy and he did what he wanted. That's "elected fascism".

Of course they control the money. When the Ds are in power, money goes here, when the Rs are in power, the money goes there. We don't vote on where the money goes.

They start wars, how many died in the Iraq war? Afghanistan? We didn't vote for war.

Of course they control the press. The press is mostly lies. Believe me, I know, can't talk about it for fear of the government, I signed a nondisclosure.

Libertarian. I believe people should be left alone to live their own lives as they see fit.

I made a simply statement of fact...the Irish were discriminated against. My oldest brother was denied admission from medical schools because the "Irish" were to stupid to be doctors. He did finally get accepted to a medical school.... 4 of his children and grandchildren are also doctors.

It is in the Irish tradition to tell stories, as a child I wondered what some of them meant. As I got older sometimes a light bulb would go off as I realized what one of those stories meant.

I have no reason to throw the poor you card.....

But they're NOT discriminated against any more. They PROVED their worth. Why are the blacks not doing the same?

Why don't you go to the next meeting of The Villages AfricanAmerican club and ask them? They will be most happy to hear your views.

All three of them? :D

You think I'll glean some pearl of wisdom from them?

They'll just call me a racist and won't answer. Or, they'll blame this or that...them and those...it's ALWAYS someone else's fault.

I'd also ask WHY they moved here. I wouldn't move to:

East St. Louis, Illinois (97.74%)
East Cleveland, Ohio (93.39%)
Suitland-Silver Hill, Maryland (93.01%)

I'd feel very out of place.

Why would they come here?

Three too many...

In case you haven't noticed, a number of retired Tampa Bay Bucs are moving to The Villages. Why, you asked. Probably the same reason you moved here. And, by the way, they can afford it, and there is not a dang thing Mark Morse can do about it.

There goes the neighborhood...:D

Nothing great seems to last...

Donald Trump told Greta tonight that his 'Muslim ban' idea was just a suggestion. Clearly he is trying to walk it back.

Just like his bragging about 'self-funding' his campaign. He never had any intentions of self-funding a presidential campaign. He doesn't have that kind of money laying around.

And what's your point? Did killary say something valid or even pertinent to being presidential? Tell us all those wonderful suggestions that killary has. Oh, that's right, she doesn't need anything new because she said she is going to continue Obama's agenda. How lazy of her.

No wonder no one will vote for her. They must have heard her speak.

My point is that Donald Trump is changing his position on all the issues he has been campaigning on after only one week as the presumptive nominee.

In that one week he has backed away from banning Muslims, self-funding his campaign (one of the biggest applause lines at his rallies), the minimum wage, trade policy, etc. Brace yourself for the demise of the wall he wanted to build.

And don't forget his latest flip-flop on raising taxes on the wealthy.

On social issues, there's not a dimes worth of difference between Trump and Clinton, both support a woman's right to choose, both support health care for all. Trump's latest is cutting social security and Medicare, can't wait to hear those details.

Obama's top ten broken promises:


Obama abandoned his commitment to "unprecedented" transparency.
Obama has failed on his promise to close GITMO.
Obama failed to end the war in Iraq and finish the job in Afghanistan.
Obama broke his promise to pursue a "tough, smart and principled national security strategy."
Obama broke his promise not to raise taxes on the middle-class.
Obama failed to grow the middle-class and Americans' incomes.
Obama broke his promise to allow Americans to keep their plans and lower costs under Obamacare.
Obama failed to make immigration a top priority and pass comprehensive reform in his first year.
Obama failed to "nail shut" the revolving door of lobbyists working in his administration.
Obama broke his promise to bring both parties together to enact a bipartisan agenda.

I have found over a hundred broken Obama campaign promises, but that is too many to list.

Politicians campaign making lots of promises that they plan to keep but know they can't without congressional approval. They tell you what you want to hear. Chillary has been saying nothing, just screeching and that is why the low voter turnout for her. Even the Dems don't trust her, many of them voting for Trump in the primaries.

Tump has been playing these morons like a drum. Now it is time to turn away from them for the general.

I wonder if Trump will be investigated for tax fraud, like Hillary
I wonder if Trump will be investigated for mishandling classified information, like Hillary
I wonder how many people are dead because of Trump's poor leadership, like Hillary.
I wonder if Trump would lie to the family of victims that died because of poor leadership.
I wonder if Trump has ever lied about being shot at, like Hillary
I wonder if Trump would sleep while people he is responsible for are tortured and burned alive.

And liberals are concerned about what Trump says about SS and Medicare? He can't do anything about either. That's up to congress.
He modified what he said about a Muslim ban. When Obama changed his mind it was NOT flip-flopping, it was "evolving."

Obama changed his mind on the debt ceiling, gay marriage, etc. but that was just his "evolving."

Awe....you must be kidding.....Right wing smear faux scandals.....

Yes, of course. There can't be any fire in all that smoke.

Let me guess, you park in the handicapped spot at Home Depot.
