NOW SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR EVERYONE!

By Gums

OK, It is time for me to get on with things that I feel like bitching about. This month I have several items that I think are worth posting. If you don't agree with me, tough, start your own site and do your own posting of your views. here we go------PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH GAY PEOPLE, THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO LIVE THEIR LIFE JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE!! BUT THEY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD NOT RECEIVE ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT OR PRIVILEGE NOT AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE!!! WHEN A CERTAIN GROUP RECEIVES SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT ALL DON'T ENJOY, THIS CAUSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

1. The state of New York has decided that the "gay" students need their own school to better serve them. So the state has grabbed up $3,000,000.00 of tax payer money to fund this so called school. They will probably call it "FUDGE PACKERS HIGH." Now more to the point, how many students do you think have enrolled in "FUDGE PACKER HIGH"?--15000---10000---5000-- not even close. A grand total of 100 students have been enrolled. Now if you do the math, that is about $30,000,00 per student. The average student has about $10,000 to $12,000 spent on him/her per year at best. So to end this item, I guess you have to be a "FUDGE PACKER" to get a quality education in New York! WHAT A SCREWED UP GOVERNMENT WE HAVE.


2. Now this one is worth thinking about. So don't get any ideas till you read the whole item. Just recently two "FUDGE PACKERS" had a case in front of the United States Supreme Court, pertaining to what people do in the privacy of their own homes or more to the point their own "bedrooms." On the surface this is just fine, no one should be told what to do in their own bedroom! But the court left a large loophole in this ruling. No law either by Federal, State or local government shall be passed pertaining to what goes on in the bedroom between two consenting adults of legal age. (or words something like that). Does this mean that now if a father wants to have sex with his "legal aged" daughter, and they both agree to the encounter, that it is just fine???? How about if a brother and sister (who are both over 21 and agree to do it) want to have sex together---is that now OK under the federal law?? Maybe even a mother son act or how about a dozen other combinations that I can think of??? Damn I was born fifty years to early----what fun I could have had


3. While I am on the subject of our "GAY" citizens, I have a question that has had me stumped for years. If a pedophile is a person who abuses or molests children (I think they should be shot by the way), and a "Homosexual" is one that is attracted to his own sex, then why do we call "Priests who abuse little boys "Pedophiles??? Shouldn't they be called what they really are--"HOMOSEXUALS"??? If they were just pedophiles, they would be molesting little girls too. But no, they only go after little boys!! When was the last time you ever heard of a priest going after some little girl---I don't think I ever remember one, although there may have been some. Strange, they all seem to just like little male children!


4. Now let me get on something else. Recently the St.Pete Times said several charities will be bringing 300 to 400 people here to the Tampa St.Pete area from Somalia Now unless I'm wrong, isn't that the country that we sent our troops to help keep the peace and feed their starving??? Then to repay us they killed our young boys and drug their naked bodies through the streets. Now to escape their country they want to come to America. Why the hell don't they stay where they are and fight for their own damn country instead of running over here. I can speak with authority on this item, During the 1950s my family took in a family from Hungary during the Russian invasion. I had a Mother, Father, two sisters and a brother living in a nice four bedroom house in Kentucky. Now all of a sudden here comes a man, his wife, his daughter and someone who I think was his cousin or something. Life from that point on "SUCKED"!!! We had no privacy, you couldn't even move around in your own house without bumping into someone. I'm not going into details on this family except to say--"NEVER AGAIN." The group coming from Somalia will speak no English, will have no job skills, will not have a job waiting for them, so we the taxpayer will help pay for them to live. We also will pick up the tab for their medical care while we have people right here in St.Pete who can't even afford to go to a doctor. If a person wants to come here from a foreign land, they should have to be "self supportive" before being allowed into this country. I don't think it is to much to ask for a person to be able to support him/her self upon entering this country. We need to start taking better care of our own and quit trying to be the caretaker for the whole world!!!


5. What is this crap going on about medical benefits and prescription drug help for the elderly (which I am getting there). The federal employees (politicians) have the best medical and drug plan available anywhere that we the taxpayer pay for. Now lets see if I have this right---they get the best plans that money can buy---we the taxpayer pay for these plans. But according to the government, we the people can't have these medical plans because they are to "expensive"to give to us. Well, screw them, if they are to expensive to give the citizens when we pay for them, then they shouldn't have them either!!! The government has gotten totally out of control in this country!!! They do what they want--spend what they want and could give a good crap about the American people except during an election year. Then they will feed you all the bullshit you can stand. Notice I am not naming any one politician, because one is just as much a jackass as the next, they are all the same, they all want what they can take from the people. They take the steak and throw the citizen a bone every now and then and we are expected to be happy for what we get----BULLSHIT to that!!!


6. Remember when you went into a store and there were friendly clerks there to help you (if you are under 30 you won't remember this), well those days are gone. I went to a "Printing" store to have some copies made this morning. I won't name the store, but for those of you who live in this area, it is across from the "Tyrone Square Mall", it is open 24 hours a day, it is right on Tyrone Blvd. and its name starts with the letter "K" I needed 50 copies---no problem (I thought). I went up to the clerk and told her what I wanted, she told me to go put some money into this machine by the printers and it would give me a credit type card in that amount. Then I should take this card and stick it into one of the printers (I won't say where I wanted to stick this card). I told her I didn't know how much it would cost to print 50 copies and she said it doesn't matter, just put in $5.00 and if the money runs out before the printing is done, you just put in more money. Well, I ask "what if the printing is done and there is still money left on this card that your machine just gave me"? In that case you just take the card home and use the next time you need something printed. That's all well and good for some people who need copies all the time I guess. First I will never remember where I put that damn card the next time I need some flyers or something. Second even if I do remember where it is I will probably forget to take it with me anyway (kind of like those stupid little plastic cards you have on your key ring for use at the supermarket). Third, what if I don't need anything printed for a year, they get to keep my money for the whole year. Now that may not seem to bad to most folks. But stop and think about it, this is a national chain, has hundreds of stores all over the country---all keeping your money for free till the next time you use that damn little card. How about all the people who loose the cards, the print shop just gets to keep their money!!With my luck they will stop using the cards before I ever need to use have anything printed again. Anyway if you ever need some printing done, I wouldn't go to this chain unless you have money to burn-----OH ya I almost forgot the best part (damn I'm gettin old), after printing my forms, there were 3 forms per page, I ask our friendly little clerk where the paper cutter was. She pointed at this thing she called a "bar cutter" or something like that. Then she said there was only one problem (I knew it) I could only cut one or two pages at a time on this type cutter!!! I had a very small stack of fifty pages to cut, but I didn't feel like standing there cutting each page twice (three-forms per page remember) so I ask her if they didn't have a regular paper cutter, I mean after all this is a print shop?? Well, I should have known her answer---"Yes we can cut them at the back counter but (here it comes I thought) we charge $1.50 for each cut we make!!!! So let's see now----it cost $4.30 to make 50 pages, then they want to charge me another $3.00 just to make two cuts. I should have ask if I could get a job there just cutting paper for them!!! Needless to say, I will cut my own damn forms, and unless you have a lot of extra money to burn I would shop for my printing needs else where!!!
