We had a power outage here in TX while I was in the local Bes Buy. The storm disabled everthing from the lights to the security systems. You would be amazed how many people grabbed those few minutes of opportunity to run from the store with arms full of DVDs, CDs, video games, even stereos and DVD players...all while the 2 or 3 door guards attempted to stop them.

All the criminals were black by the way, not that that means anything here in Houston....right?

Give me the date and time of this occurance..... I'll check your facts and if I'm wrong I'll post it publicly.

You wouldn't happen to be a school teacher in Houston would you?

I think you're getting confused - it was your last persona/user name that I put on ignore.

Actually I work in marketing. Put me on ignore, so I don't have to deal with your nonsense.

LOL. No wonder our society is slowly becoming a stagnant, bland, politically correct landscape with vanilla language and values. Anything you say these days that is remotely against the grain or slightly controversial is immediately written off as "stirring up trouble" or "trolling". Makes me sick. Open you minds. You can't handle a little attitude and in your face schtick from a man who refuses to think like you.

Put me on ignore if you don't want to deal with my nonsense.

So did you ever find out why Asians have slitty eyes? Or are you still conducting that study.

At least I do it under one user name.

You change your user name every week - and then pretend you're not spending all of your time on here.

"Anyway, with the escalating level of political correctness combined with the fear of being sued in America, we are becoming a bunch of boring self-censoring bastards, or perhaps we always were." - Rings very true.

I'm not trying to censor you ..... I just think you're a liar.
