The lazy people I was telling you about.....
-
What's lazy about her?
She just wants gas prices to go down and this mortgage bs to end although, many of those people shouldn't have had those loans.
-
Hear that, Obamaites?? You help him and he's gonna help you--you won't have to worry about your bills anymore!!! Yup yup yup. He's going to fix the economy and give poor people lots of money and do lots of other wonderful things besides with his amazing superpowers!!! Hail Obama!!!
-
Yeah. I heard this on the radio this morning.
Truly hilarious!
Like I said, this guy will set the black race back for generations.
They might as well make their own nooses and start jumping from tree limbs.
-
WTF coach??? Everyone votes for the presendent they feel is best for them, their family and the country. I know people who voted Bush because they said Clinton's policies "hurt" them and they wanted those reversed which they felt wouldn't happen under Gore. I guess you took "help" to mean welfare... now that is some racist shit right there. example: Fixing the economy "helps" us all.

Oil is down which means gas prices are lower. Her mortgage? Gimme a break, If he can't afford it she should have never baught it. Basically what she's saying is "I'm to lazy to work hard enough to pay my debt, so thank Obama so I don't have to work hard enough to feed my family".
-
haaaaa!!!! right before that you have the context.... She won't have to worry about gas, paying her mortgage... She is concerned about fixing the economy, not collecting a welfare check. ::) Sounds like she's after a little stability in the country, big deal, me too!!!

Coach you really are a fucking low life... What id do to be able to meet you face to face and pop your old ass like a fucking zit. ANd yes Id squash your old Oompa Looma over sized down syndrome looking face. That was a racist disgusting comment once again, and the mods keep allowing you to do it.
Its obvious you grew up in a racist community and think you are better than people who are less fortunate than your ass. I hope one day you loose everything and see what it is like to struggle and feel helpless like this woman feels. Id be willing to bet she works 10000x harder than you.

no no no no no.... that is such a simplistic view of complex issues... There are so many other ways to go... With inflation, gas prices for most of the bush years, housing crisis that even effects those who can afford their homes, house values dropping, pretty big inflation on the cost of living, wages not going anywhere... man there is so much to look at, you don't know this woman and the first place you go is "welfare queen" that is some racist shit.

Hugo, I respect you and I will ALWAYS be there for you no matter what, I promised that to you long ago. That being said, Obama is enabling people who don't have much to depend on the government to support their families.......thats not right, thats not what the government is there for. There was a time when I poor (before and right after my son was born) but not ONCE did I ever think of the Government to help me, I worked hard, pulled myself up and now have a pretty successful business. I'm not rich, but I live in a nice home now, son goes to a private school and pretty comfortable life. I worked my ass for it and still work around 60-70hrs per week. IT CAN BE DONE without the government, we are not limited.

1. You wouldn't do shit. People on this board said the same thing before my contest last year and the people who taked crap like you I knew were at that contest and didn't even have the balls to come up and introduce themselves. So give it a rest Jr.
2. Nothing I said or even implied was racist. Go away.

He's not a racist IMO, just an idiot.

same for you coach, you know I respect you and it's all good, I'm just being agressive in my position on this. I don't think you're being racist intentionally, but there are easily legit ways to look at what she said other than looking for a handout. going for the welfare explanation right away appears racist.
-
told u coach was a racist ::)
Why Matt, because she's black ::)? Put a white person up saying the samething and I would say the same thing. STFU, if anyone on here is racists it's you and Busted. Enough with the black racists shit Matt, it got fucking old 20 years ago.

LOL. are you someone to be scared of? Just becasue you stick a needle in your ass dont start thinking you are a tough guy all of a sudden. You are a old ass Napoleon complex right wing christian nut job steroid head.
How does it feel to be shorter than most middle school women?
And yes you constantly posting things with black folks and how they are lazy and do not work hard is fucking racist.
-

I don't respect coach at all, what is there to respect? His idiotic posts? his racist comments? It was OBVIOUS as hell that was a racist post and dont sugar coat it.
-

Thank you. I love how Coach and others will try and make something out of nothing.

It's between Hugo and I.........f**k off.

Of course I do. Who said anything about you being black? Are you drunk posting?
-

its in a public form you Midget.
How does it feel to be shorter than most middle school women? Does that needle in your ass make you feel manly? Does Jesus approve of your racist comments and you drug use to make yourself feel not so small?
-
Of course I do. Who said anything about you being black? Are you drunk posting?
Go read what you posted above frankenstein midget look a like. :D

Again, I really don't think Joe is racist. I am quite sure of this. Plenty of racists here, so why not focus on them.
Joe is just a tad delusional :D

I don't think he is either, Joe is a good fella. It's just that it looked racist going there first with what she said.

He constantly makes racist posts, and time and time again people say "i dont think joe is racist" How many times does he have to make racist posts until people finally say "damn he has made posts that seem racist time and time again, maybe he is".
I can see things getting taken out of context but he does it ALL THE TIME.

It's not Joe's fault, it's that nazi he listens to... We need to have an intervention ;D

In recent thread, I said that a woman was a kook (the one who tried to blame a crime on black Obama supporters and wasn't charged because she's mentally incompetent) and you took THAT out of context and took it personally and called me a dickhead. You often seem to misunderstand the context of things and take things personally and bring it down to a personal level and call people names (dickhead, dumb fuck, racist, etc. etc.). Joe isn't racist. He married a non-white woman for pete's sakes. You need to just relax.

Seriously, I really don't think so. Joe and I have posted together for years here, a good 5 years and we have chatted behind the scenes. I just think he is half mad in his lust for Rush and the GOP is all. 8)
There are plenty of racists here, stacks who post outright crap, or make attacks, and as someone who is frequently on the end of such attacks I recall them all too well. I think they should be focused on more.
That said, I really appreciate your anti-racist stance. It is nice to see ;)

Go back to why I called you a dickhead. It was not taken out of context.
My uncle married a black woman and still calls black people N-----RS. So whats your point?

I understand what you are saying. Answer me 1 question. Do you think coach would call that woman lazy and on welfare and asking for a hand out if a 6'6 300lb black man was standing there? Yes or No?

No clue, but I just truly think he is not a racist. Issue is when that allegation is bandied about - it dilutes it. For example - youandme is a cold hard racist so when I refer to him as a racist, I would not want it diluted as others interpret loose statements into racism. When we have posters here like youandme who simply make racist remarks as well as unprovoked personal attacks on people due to race, they should be focused on.
-
Only saw 24 out of 26 seconds.
I don't think the woman thinks an Obama victory is going to absolve her of all her bills.
I think she sees an Obama victory as "finally a President who will govern with the best interests of the PEOPLE forefront in his mind". As for Joe, ...give the poor guy a break. He's like a drowning man, thrashing about in the ocean, ...he's grasping at driftwood hoping to stay afloat.
-

Without commenting on Coach's alleged racism, ...that's one of the stupidest comments made on racism.
A Black person can marry a white person and be racist towards Asians. Indians can harbour racist feelings about Blacks. Who one chooses to marry is strictly an indicator of how they feel about their spouse, not an indicator of any racism they may or may not harbour about any other group or race in general.
-
Go back to why I called you a dickhead. It was not taken out of context.
My uncle married a black woman and still calls black people N-----RS. So whats your point?
If Joe calls someone out on their attitude and/or philosophy and that person happens to be black... you immediately take a logical leap in your mind and assume it's about race. That's you making it a racial issue, not Joe.
Joe is a good guy and he stands up for his beliefs and he's not racist.
Guys like Hugo and Al Doggity (Al and I go way back :D) and plenty of others on here that I could name if it wasn't so late at night--we have widely differing opinions on political issues and what we think is best for the country--but still, I respect them and their perspectives, we keep the discussion respectful and civilized and centered on the issues and don't resort to name-calling and drag it down to a personal level.
Calling people names like "midget" and "dickhead" really doesn't do much to help your credibility or help you to be taken seriously. I have a lot more respect for Joe and even the guys I mentioned who lean towards the left end of the political spectrum, than I have for that sort of behavior. timfogarty keeps it civilized too for that matter, even though we see differently on a lot of points. And bigdumbbell... I've long thought he's one of the funniest guys on getbig... I bet he's a hoot in person.
And Jag, maybe my argument about Joe's choice of whom to marry was lame and doesn't prove or refute anything... but the fact remains, I know he's not racist or bigoted.

Not referencing Joe, but that is something I never get. Not sure if you ever saw my pic, but I am uber light, like Vanessa Williams type colour, and for some reason I attract [when in US] the white racists. White guys will freely hit on me, before and after making some racist remark. I will point I am black and wouldn't be caught dead dating them, and then they will launch into the epic "but you are different" ::)
I would never in my life marry anyone who was a racist towards any group. That is one trait I abhore.

Do you really think I care about Getbig Credibility? Joe is a scumbag, and i will always think that as do most on here. He doesnt post views, he posts racist, degrading things that in real life could get his teeth knocked out of his face. You don't think I have been reading get big as long as you? You can go back as long as you want, I would be willing to bet in the late 90s when I first started reading getbig you nor coach even owned a computer.
I dont care what you say. I stand in my belief. Coach is a closet racist, and his posts and sly racist things he says are evidence of it.
Dont think for a Minute every time coach sees someone from the middle east he doest think "that fucking terroist, I autta smack him before he trys bombing my house" Psssst. Thats RACISM. I didnt come to my conclusion from his 3 or 4 posts twards black people, it was from a LONG TIME watching him post hateful things about OTHER NATIONALITYS and RELIGIONS.
-
Personally, I think Obama hates white people.
Just read those two books. You know, the ones he really didn't write.

Good thing you didn't bet real money... I was on Getbig in the late 90's too, 10 or 11 years ago (on my Dell Pentium 90). A few dudes like geo and Tapper that I knew back then are still around.
But anyway... Coach/Intenseone might be opinionated and outspoken but I'm sure he cares infinitely more about attitudes, beliefs and ideologies than he does about a person's nationality or skin color. There's plenty of blatantly racist people on here but he's not one of them.

Yep, ...I know exactly what you mean.
I've had people make some of the most abhorent racist remarks in my presence,
...and not understand why I found it offensive, or wanted nothing to do with them.
As if I shouldn't find it offensive because I'm not white, Asian, Mexican, Indian etc., etc.,
I remember when I was 9 yrs old and taking a swim course.
We were practicing mouth 2 mouth resusitation, and I was paired up with this other kid who had a look of terror on his face. He was like.. "But, but, she's a..." The lifeguard cut him off and said "Ya I know she's a girl. Deal with it!" >:(
That little fucker burst out with "It's not that she's a girl, ...SHE's an F-ing PAKI!" :o
I guess because my hair was wet he didn't realize that I was Black and not Pakistani. After he was informed that I wasn't Pakistani, but Black, ...he was ok with me doing mouth-to-mouth with him, ...but my stomache was turned.
I was so enraged with the little snot, ...I spit in his mouth and said "Guess What, I really am a Paki".
I was a mean little 9 yr old. {lol} :D

My computer crashed on me the first time i logged into getbig. I dont even know what it was, but my uncle built it for me. So I Used the one on Campus. I didn't post, I just read all the fake profiles going back and fourth with peoples IP addresses showing. The good ole days...
Coach doesn't know the Muslim ideology. He knows NOTHING about the religion or the Middle east, Except Fox news talking points: Terrorism, Sadam and Osama. Common, admit it, coach says nasty shit about middle eastern people DAILY.

Yeah, I fired someone once for racist remarks - and they were like "but it wasn't about you" as it didn't refer to my racial group ???
He was American, and here once someone looses their work pass, they have 7 days to leave, if they do not comply they are jailed. My gov is strict, very, they will arrive and arrest you the first day, so it is suicide to not comply, and place is too small to get away with it. Guy was melting royally talking all this crap, and I personally laughed my ass off at his panic as did the other staff.

Ahhhhh are you sippin on some Vodka? There is no spelling errors..

The syntax is even more pathetic.

So you fired him without a warning knowing that he would get deported and have to leave the country? and you found this funny? How bad was the remark? :o

Yes I found it funny. It was ;D
And the moron knew he would get deported if he was fired, that is explicit *before* guest workers come here.
Same way Americans expect people to come to their nation and 'blend in' and get annoyed when they won't [understandable] so do we. Racism isn't something we do here. Never in my life heard a "white" person from my nation make a racist remark - never. We don't even bother with the racial divides here, which I why I put "white" in quotations. We're islanders - simple. We care not to have that here, so he could go back to where he came from and extol his hatred there.
Plus, business, I make as well have burned a stack of cash and declared bankruptcy if I let him stay, would have killed my business[es].
No unusual here, I think maybe 3/4 people a year are tossed for that?
-
See I grew up in an area where we had a ton of half indian, black, asian, mexican kids mixed in with the whites. we would always bag on eachother using racial slurs. We were all friends and just didnt really care that much. Race was never an issue for any of us. We just laughed at people that got uptight about it.
The only time I ever felt even a hint of racism was when they first gave us 50% crab fishing rights. the white fishermen would cut our lines, steal our pots, and try and sabotage our boats. of course there were the glares when we would come in the bay on a boat called the Bolt decision, but that is to be exected :P
I just think people are too sensative about race these days. Maybe im biased but it seems like its the biggest issue with freaky white people like busted who feel guilty about their own predjudices so have to spout racism every 5 seconds.. The neighborhood I live in has a huge population of mixed famlies and I just dont see what the big deal is.
-
I see where you are coming from, but we really do things like that to protect our way of life. If we let those types in, it will either spread or create animosity, violence etc. So we are way strict. The typical sterotype one can think of over people from a tiny tropical island is true here - laid back, paceful etc. We care not to have negative aspects of the outside world permeate us - we have enough cretins of our own, we need not import ;D
Fact is, as our wages are so high and we have zero income/sales/capital gains tax, tropical weather etc - we can pick, choose and refuse - so we do.
US has alot of immgration, but immigrants must pay into the system [tax] so they can be beneficial that way. Here as we have no tax, every person is just a further drain on the economics so we aren't over eager to let in people.

Fair enough ;D
