They would tear you apart just because you are not a gang member. And you are on their turf. Keep talking about how mis-treated the illegals are from the comfort and safety of your home and live a fantasy life. Think i'm full of it? Take a minute and talk with one of the officers that are on the gang squads. I believe that you would have to review you way of thinking. These gangs are here to stay, and with people like yourself pandering to them, why would they ever leave? Just my opinion, but I just can't shut up when I hear soft talk about gangs... Won"t be long till we all have to carry, legal or not!!!!
:thumbsup:

I think you would be surprised how many people on this board are perceived to be racist, that are really not.Quote:

Of course they are immediately branded as being a racist.
Action Dave BBQ, sounds great, But the Cuban cuisine that I am hooked on is the Cuban coffee. Started drinking it when I was working with some guys originally from Cuba building some boat molds and really got hooked on it.... That stuff is about 10X the strength of American style coffee...
Oooooooooooh the agony of the TRUTH ! :smiletest:

This is built into our mental thoughts as a means of self preservation. We are all wary of the unknown, and once people of differing races get together and get to know each other all our differences disapear. My heritage is Scottish, Irish and American Indian... But I call myself an American. I believe this is the major difference we are talking about here on s/f. Some people are not willing to be an American, they just want the benefits and not have to contribute anything in return... These groups of people are not Americans and do not belong here.... I say kick them out, and make room for immigrants that want to be an contributing part of America and become Americans themselves...
I did not mean for this to ba racist thread, these guys look scary and I'm always up for meeting new people and I have friends from many different backgrounds. These guys are plainly gang members. You know when we show up for a rally or get together, I guess some would call us a gang of boaters, but we are a nice friendly group. Ther are good and bad in any race. When a group of folks that are known to rape, kill and steal, yea I don't want them around me or my family.

As for the ones who showed up...as my Dad used to say..."if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and is seen hanging with other ducks...chances are it's a duck". Thinking these particular guys were "ok" because they weren't doing anything illegal at the moment is naive and careless.

I don't think the majority (99.99%) saw this thread as racist. So sleep easy my friend!! You did the right thing by simply leaving and giving you and her peace of mind. Even though that shouldn't have to happen.Quote:

I didn't find anything particularly racist about any of your comments. A little paranoid perhaps but that's not a crime where I'm from. Your thread did however raise one of the flags that tend to bring out the ranting meat heads who boil everything down to Obama and illegal immigrants. Most of my comments were not at all directed at you.Quote:

You were lucky that they had some fish to occupy them for a time, so you and the Mrs. could leave discretely..
Im thinking the general consensus is everybody is racist against Mr. Clean cuz he's a RETARD!! Being OK with legal immigration and TOTALLY AGAINST Illegal immigration does NOT make you a racist!
P.S. Bring on the messican FOOD!!!!!!!!!!! OR I guess it should be the spanish speaking countries cuisine! LMFAO:D

Once people learn to lighten up a bit, we'll all get along much better. I also realize the double standard that exists in society but I try not to focus negative energy on that.
You know who hates illegal criminals more than anyone else? That hardworking, legal immigrant who gets bunched into a group simply because they're from the same country. Nobody likes for a certain group of individuals to make the whole population look bad. Just like most white dudes don't want to be bunched into the same group as Bubba, the toothless hillbilly.

As far as others. I'll simply tollerate them excluding the mentaly Handicaped. They simply can't help it, GOD Love Them.
My wife is from a foreign country. Paid her dues for five years and on her own wanted to become a US Citizen. Yes she is. And if you want to see someone that hate's Illegals. Then she is the most racist person I know.
Go to any country in the world and you're gonna find raciest, bigots and ignorant people. The USA doesn't hold a monopoly on it, it's worldwide! It won't go away, it will always be with us. It's part of human nature.
I've put up with bigots my whole life. I've lived my whole life with people thinking I'm not capable of doing what "normal" people do, even in my own family, just because I had a tumor in my head that paralyzed my right eye, right eyelids and right half of my forehead. Of corse me doing and saying goofy things at times and not thinking before I open my mouth, sometimes, doesn't help me, haha.
But what it comes down to is, I CHOOSE not to let them piss me off, most of the time. I try not to judge them because I do stupid stuff at times too, just like most people.
A couple of bits of info and a question ,Quote:

That also.
We've got a growing problem with Asian gangs around here.

If they're GANG MEMBERS with GANG tattoos, they are scum, plain and simple, no matter where they come from.
When we have violent gangs dumping fish guts on our pristine beaches, and we feel pressured to yield and leave, it's just another good example of the kind of phenomenon ripping this country apart, quietly taking this nation's free people hostage...
