"stop Feeding The Birds"
I bought a bird feeder.
I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table everywhere! Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be.... quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal. Now let's see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. |

True.. I switched banks because I finally used an ATM last month that did not say "Press 1 for English" and I called the Bank and let the bank manager know "this is why I chose your bank. Don't go changing it on me now." |

The Boston Tea Party was nothing... If this country truly has another great depression and we cannot provide essential life services to people who were born and raised here our whole lives due to overpopulation and depleted public assistance funds, the second revolutionary war will be a good one. |

but then it comes into... what gives us the right to deny the rights and happieness of others to guarentee our own? because we were here first?
don't get me wrong... something needs to be done... but closing our borders is the easy way out IMO... and wouldn't solve the problem anyhow. Those that come though and propperly immigrate aren't the ones begg'n for food and protesting... it's the illegals. I think we need to STRENGTHEN our borders... not close them... once that's done... deport every illegal immigrant and make them go through the propper channels. fuck assilum... just like in fucking school... you cut and get caught... boom... end of the fucking line! try it again... you've just fucked yourself... no soup for you. |

Nice post. I live close to the carpet capital of the world and there are ALOT of hispanics here. Now Im not racist but I am really starting to get fed up with all of them coming over here and thinking that they can try to make us learn Spanish. I have no respect for the ones that come here and dont speak a drop of English and cant understand why we cant talk to them back. There are some of those that come into where I work and I cant stand them. On the other hand there are a few that will sit and hold a conversation with you in ENGLISH and its cool. Okay Im done with my rant...

And upshift, I agree about the whole language thing. I understand if you are visiting and you don't speak english. Fine, we'll deal for a couple weeks while you have your good time. For those of you that have spent YEARS of your life here... LEARN THE FUCKING LANUGAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other day there were 3 people out on the lot at work, looking at cars. I gladly helped them and tried my best to answer their questions. After a few min of helping them, they started to talk amongst themselves in their own language I knew they all spoke english, as they had all talked to me at some point. With that, I just walked away. If you have something to say that is so secretive that you can't say it in english, I don't need to be around anyway. Call me an ass, I am. They can find someone else to put up with their bullshit. |
