whilst we spoiled, lazy and largely overweight if not obese westerners bitch and squawk about paying an extra nickel in taxes or not having some government agency wipe our ass for us people in less fortunate countries will do almost ANYTHING FOR A BUCK.
a few highlights from the story:
Sheikh's father is also a rat catcher. His brothers sell vegetables from a cart and wish they could be rat catchers too.
Instead, they curl themselves, all 15 of them, into a 13-square-meter (140-square-foot) space with peeling paint, tattered plastic bags to hold their clothes and a fan that leaves everyone sweating.
while a certain country we all know and love has been spending trillions bombing the shit of impoverished nations its citizens have been demanding lower taxes and increased government entitlements. can you say HELLO GREECE!
we in the great white north have felt almost no pain in the current economic malaise unless you check on your global investments most mornings. why have we felt little pain? because the poor rat catchers and rummagers of chinese garbage have increased demand for oil and base metals. shit, if it gets too hard for some fat shit to walk the government will pay for an electric scooter. shit, fucking asshole evangelists are more concerned with curing homosexuality than curing poverty. we protest like crazy if some murderer gets snuffed for his crimes but don't blink when thousands die in drought stricken africa.
on a different note, i hear this song every morning when i open windows media player. it's a mystery to me why this happens, must be god's will. his priorities are all fucked up too.
i love you sons of bitches.

Why can't Canada take more of the poor huddled masses? You've got plenty of space and not that many people. They might not like the climate, of course.
Years ago when I was an apartment dweller in a city, my place faced two other apartments stacked on top of each other in a four-plex. The two closest to me had Hmongs living in them. We counted somewhere between 17 and 24 bodies in and out of the two. They thought that living in two small apartments was living high on the hog!
They used a vacant lot and grew veggies to sell, as well as each of them worked AND went to school, got food and medical on my government's dollar. A local church supplied them with clothes and two new mini vans to help out.
Within three years, all of them had at least an AA degree, they bought land to farm and began to pay taxes. Soon after they opened several trailer food carts. Last I hear they all had nice homes of their own and were doing extremely well financially.
There is a point to this long tale... and excuse me for over commenting here... The point is that they came here and felt "lucky" to be here where it was relatively safe and sane. They took the assistance offered and did something with it. They did not feel entitled. They did not sit in their government paid housing using their food stamps forever... they did what we are all supposed to do with it and worked their way into a good life. Now after growing up in a war zone in horrible circumstance, they are better citizens than people who are born and raised here... and very grateful for what they have.
gb - we take lots of refugees. the upcoming census new releases will tell the tale.
silly - yup, work ethics and savings rates are creating a global paradigm shift. darwinism at work?
Don't hold back, honey. Tell us how you really feel. And, while you're at it, tell us how we really feel, too.
Oh, geez. Now I feel so selfish for being a whiner. We do just so love what we're used to in America.
nance - that's how i felt a few hours ago. now i have the joy of jesus in my heart and i'm ready to hug the first whiner riding an electric scooter i come across. (unless the prick has an oxygen tank and is smoking a cigarette)
Epic rant. God does have a quirky sense of humor.
Don't count us out yet, Billy... we're cruising for a bruising right now, but once we get it you'll see that the American spirit is still present south of your borders... We just need some sense knocked into us.
We just need some sense knocked into us.
Pfff, might happen in about three generations but it's going to get ugly between those points.
Why can't Canada take more of the poor huddled masses?
What the hell for? They can stay home and fix their own countries instead of running.
But I would rather they over populate Canada than us.
thims - you guys are too busy fighting each other and muslims to bother with us.
bill - in 3 generations canada will be 60% chinese, 30% muslim and 10% white people to do the manual labor.
so it goes.
bill - in 3 generations canada will be 60% chinese, 30% muslim and 10% white people to do the manual labor.
Okay, in 3 generations I'll be Chinese. But it pains me to know that fucking muslims will still be here, as well as fucking christians.
A cripple walked into the cafe this morning and said something about god, I wasn't going there with that fucking idiot and read the paper while he and Dalie talked.
When he left she said something like, "He was sort of weird." I said, "Well, he has a fused neck, his right arm is pretty useless and and he's just generally all fucked up. He asked god, 'why god, why me?' God said, "There's just something about you that pisses me off."
Cracked her up and she believes in that dipshit out out there.
3 generations? We'll see.
3 generations isn't that far removed.
But if you like I'll see you one and raise you two.
in 3 generations we'll have faster than light technology. that big particle accelerator in europe apparently has done it.
andromeda here we come!
We don't want all government types to wipe our asses. Only the far right GOP folks who have their testicles in a vice controlled by the Tea Party and the Religious Right, those same nice folks who are cool with bombing the shit out of third world countries while teaching them about Jesus Fucking Christ and the evils of homosexuality.
Do you have a better job in mind for our unprincipled government ass wipes?
andromeda here we come!
But she was rescued by Perseus and became his wife. I'll assume that she enjoyed screwing his brains out.
In 3 generations, assuming that we are still here, we'll have virtual reality, and won't have to deal with the screwed up women on this rock anymore.
Afuckingmen..
Do you have a better job in mind for our unprincipled government ass wipes?
They think that fucking shovels are just for ground breaking and ribbon cutting shit to get in the news.
i wish I had a answer.
cognitive - yes, soylent green.
bill - i'm speaking of our neighboring galaxy that's on a collision course with us.
yellowdog - ask the goddess.
No point in worrying about our neighboring galaxy that's on a collision course with us.
I'm pretty sure we'll wreck this planet before it gets here. I keep telling myself to remember that I'm getting up there in years so may as just as well sit back and enjoy viewing history in the making.
As long as we're waiting we should have a tomato growing contest next year. I suppose I could raise a decent plant if I tried, and cheated.
if you cheat bill that'll make it even since i'll be cheating too.
may the best cheat win.
Yup, no rules, other than you have to post pictures of your plant and not one you saw somewhere else.
Convert them into nutritious wafers? Mmm mmm. Santorum.
I really wish Jesus would return soon so he would tell all the nut jobs in his fan clubs to pull their heads out of their butts. Oh what a wonderful world we would live in if we could eliminate discrimination. If people would take all that time hating and invest it elsewhere the world would be a pretty cool place. Instead we get outraged over Netflix raising prices or Facebook changing its format (I know I complained about it). We really have our priorities out of whack.
I don't get pissed if Facebook changes things, I simply don't deal with Facefuck.
I get pissed when Blogger changes things,hahahaha
billy - you mean we can only cheat a little bit?
mr shife - maybe they should have competency tests before letting people into his fan club.
cognitive - i think santorum should be kicked out of the jesus fan club.
No, you can cheat all you want, do anything you can to get a great plant with lots of tomatoes on it. But it has got to be your plant & you have to raise and care for it.
To take a picture of someone else's great plant and say it is yours, well, that would be lying.
can i hire a chinese kid to come up with some powerful fertilizers?
can i hire a chinese kid to come up with some powerful fertilizers?
Hire? I don't think that would be right, but if you can talk a chinese kid into to shitting on it for free I have no problem with that if you think chinese shit is better shit than your shit.
On the other hand, if you want to buy some chinese shit go ahead, I don't give a shit.
@silly -- The Hmong are very special people.
The Hmong are very special people.
As long as you don't mind them taking our jobs away from us cuz they are willing to work cheaper than most of us.
bill - i guess i have to get one of those hmongs to crap on my tomatoes.
bob - are they special or have westerners become soft and lazy due to their sense of entitlement?
@bob- I agree.
@bbc- They were willing to put in the work and live in what we would consider less than acceptable space requirements. They were good neighbors. They accepted help and paid us back by becoming citizens, paying taxes and helping to generate a healthier economy. They didn't want to live off of us. I admire that they earned their way and left living off the dole behind.
@BBC again- You can't take a job away from someone who isn't willing to work that cheap. Someone needs to do those jobs and if we aren't taking advantage of it, why shouldn't they if they are willing?
silly - the hmong were excellent pot growers up here. they're resourceful both inside and outside the law.
Then they must know fertilizer, eh?
@ silly rabbit, I'm willing to work cheap to get by but many are not. I've cleaned shitters at minimum wage.
I've also been known to do things for others without wages just to help them out because my little universe doesn't revolve around money.
Now I'm sitting here wondering what in the hell it is my little universe does revolve around.
Oh, yeah, I remember, sex.
And camping and boating....
thims - i guess growing a little pot is a walk in the park after dealing with agent orange and napalm.
bill - don't forget helen. part of your world must revolve around her.
Certainly it was... for everyone involved.
You know, the down side of free trade usually exists in the homeland of the 'partner' in a weaker position. In that case it involved napalm.
In terms of the big picture of controlling narcotics distribution in order to fund off-budget operations (like the ones the ones that are necessary just to secure the off records budget), then really agent orange and napalm are mere footnotes to everyone but the old Vietnamese man that will shit on your tomatoes.
How're the PM treating you? Are you buying the dip?
thims - yes, energy etfs.
No, you can cheat all you want, do anything you can to get a great plant with lots of tomatoes on it.
Yeah, that's what Kennedy said.
Looks like the bitch got out of rehab and her treatment has worn off. I'm out of here now.
Yeah, I thought that might go over your head.
Cut and run. Very American of you.
Oh Knowledgeable One.
Goddamn slant-eyed gooks taking our jobs. Stay in your own country and fix it!
What's that? We said we'd do it for you? Where was that again? Laos? Vietnam? China? Whateverthefuck. Fucking Muslims.
You've come unhinged!
leslie - did they keep the tomato plants at peter lawford's house?
bill - it looks like every time you say something nasty sheriff leslie is going to run you out of town.
thims - winner and still heavyweight champion of enjoy the moment, sheriff leslie!
"and wish they could be rat catchers too" profound.
tex - it's a tough job, killing 30 rats a night for 6 nights a week. i wonder who gets to eat the rats.
Bah, that fucking pussy couldn't run on a rough sea with me, she'd wet her pants.
Asshole
I lived in Vietnam for a year, and Thailand for 8. I've been held at gunpoint in an airport for 3 days during a military coup, and evacuated on a cargo plane full of screaming orphans that took off at night with no lights on the runway or onboard. Your twee Port Angeles pond is no rough sea, and I doubt your little Mad Max dinghy could even stay afloat long enough to make me wet my pants.
I know you have this pathetic fantasy that you're some sort of maverick cowboy sage, but fingernail fungus and a camper on the back of your truck does not a badass make. In reality, you're a smelly, small-minded, bitter old bigot with a laptop and too much time on his hands. I guarantee I've already been thru more real world, real life shit than you, and I've done it in half your time and I haven't ended up full of shit, full of hate, or full of myself. Lay down and die already.
Seriously dude..."run on a rough sea"....?!!!!
ROTFLMAO!
Last time I checked, nursing a 6-pack and coasting into town to cash your Social Security check wasn't the definition of "rough sea"
DIPSHIT !!!!!
@BBC- I know you've done nice things to help others. I do respect that. I too have cleaned toilets, sorted apples and pears, picked cherries, etc. for minimum wage. And you are indeed right that there are many who won't lower themselves to work cheap.
However, having said that, I also admire those who have raised themselves out of pitiful circumstances to succeed. Its the ones who live off others and piss and moan and don't try to alter their lives with hard work that bug the heck out of me.
@billy pilgrim- Great post! You have the most interesting blog around. There's always something different going on here. =;]
bill - well, it looks like she's kicked the crap out of you again.
leslie - if this was softball i might enact the mercy rule.
silly - you ain't seen nothing yet. hold my drink and watch this.....
If the Prickly Pear can weather Hurricane Jane, I say we all chip in for a Real Doll for him.
Who's with me?
billy and all, re: references to fertilizing your tomato plants, here's the way to go.
Wow, I think ahm in luv.
thims - nah, we'll just give him some rubber sheeting and a few cans of wd 40.
shaw - i think i'll pass on that product but don't let that stop you from trying it.
harry - who gives a shit.
