Hell no they aren't! I'm sick of getting cut off and in near collisions almost everyday by jackasses with CHEE-WAA-WAA plates. And god forbid you have to go to wal-mart,( even though i hear they have them in juarez) and don't get out of the way when you try to get by. A simple excuse me does not work. Como se dice "move your FAT ASS!" en espanol? The rudeness and sense of entitlement they exude annoys the hell out of me. My friends here say that the ones with a little money are the worst because they are extremely arrogant and think that they are better than the average American, which is beyond me. If Mexico is so much better than the US than how come you don't stay put?

Still gonna mock you, though!


Nope. Don't care at all. If two pieces of gutter trash break into my home I would be more than happy for a neighbor to deal with them.

Yeah, I can't see how this is fodder to make fun of Texans; has there been a case of "mistaken identity" where a neighbor killed the actual homeowner because he thought it was a thief?

I bet there is probably a case about it, but I would speculate that the Texans who would ACTUALLY do it, probably know their neighbors well enough to not mistake them for a thief.

I'm specifically referencing this case which had nothing to do with
"reasonable fear for the life or safety of yourself or others" but still resulted in the neighbor getting off for killing two intruders stealing from his neighbor who was not home at the time. These kind of cases are hard for the other 49 states (even equally conservative ones like Louisiana, where I was living at the time of this case) to stomach.

As I think I've said before, I think that law is a great idea. If my neighbor shot and killed two pieces of human filth who were robbing me, I'd bake the man (or woman) a pie.

Also, I live in Oklahoma, which is like Texas in many respects culturally. We know what our neighbors look like, so we aren't going to mistake one of them for a thief. Clearly whoever said that is not from 'round these parts.

If some law like this isn't already on the books in Oklahoma, I hope it finds its way on the books soon. I strongly believe that the liberal use of deadly force in defense of self and property is a good thing in that it accelerates human evolution.

As to the OP, racism is always bad. Immigrants, even illegal ones (sometimes) are what keeps this economy going. I think that with a few exceptions, mostly from Mexico [look at the welfare doles for evidence], the U.S. gets the best, brightest and hardest working folks from around the world. Thumb through your local yellow pages sometime and look at all of the small businesses which are obviously owned by immigrants. Pay attention to who owns the restaurants you dine in and the gas stations you fill up at.

This post has not changed any of my conceptions of SMU Sig Ep.

I currently have the same reaction as knight shadow.

On top of the fact that, although I have worked with SMU SigEps, I go to school in Michigan.

So far, I've only had 16 bricks and 8 flaming bags of poop thrown through my window since I put up the sign.

Sorry that happened to you man. But, the term "flaming bag of poop" is quite funny.

Boodleboy322 09-10-2009 11:22 PM

sign
 
Sounds like more ignorant people. If the issue is centered on illegals then shouldn't the sign say something like, "Illegals not wanted" since there are illegals here from other countries that are not limited to Mexico and South America? If the issue is against folks working without paying taxes then maybe the sign can say, "Non tax payers keep out". Geez
