Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

[kimmi]

It's everywhere!!! My experience is that it has been 50/50. It's coming from BOTH sides. Everybody has gone completely mad!!! It doesn't matter who wins the election.... either way we're all on the fastrack to hell in a hand basket. 

Please don't read this as a personal attack on you but what black people are saying this?  Are they people you know?  People you post with?  I dated a black man for 3 years and will be having dinner with him tonight.  He has not mentioned a race riot being organized by his "people", just that he thinks a bunch of white folks are going to lose their minds tonight and want something to shoot at.  THEN you can be sure there will be riots.

Just who are these delusional chumps they have been getting to go on the air and say, "Well, out here in Wyoming the economy is just fine. Our homes are still selling for more each day, and everyone that has had a job still has it"?!

Listen chumly, just because you folks out there in hicksville haven't felt what's going on in the rest of the friggin world doesn't make it a non issue. Sooner or later your supply line is going to go dry or cost you so much you'll go out of your tiny little minds over it. So go ahead, vote like the economic solutions offered up by both parties are meaningless to you. But you better get used to snuggling up to ol Bessie at night to keep from freezing, cause your heating oil is going to cost you more than your little doggie ranch is going to be worth very soon!

These "good ol' boys weren't on a keyboard, they were sitting at the tables around me in a restaurant.

Several restaurants.

They were certainly not behind any keyboard when I encountered them over the last few days either.  It's quite apparent that despite my best hopes, ignorance still knows no bounds even in this day and age.

Think I'll suck down a few brews and just veg out this evening!

I think I will too.  One needs to cushion the effects of such profound ignorance as that which can be displayed on election day.  Especially from the "good ole' boys" being discussed on this thread.

And while I'm on my lil soap-box:

Just why is it that the latest quarterly results for big oil began coming out just after we experienced a 50%+ drop in gasoline prices? Could it be that these drops came about largely over the fact that once again (Surprise) they have posted record breaking profits measured in the billions, and they hoped to temper the anger? Hell yes and surprisingly it worked!

These friggin morons are going to post annual profits for the current fiscal year in the trillions, and we have pretty much heard not a peep from the sheeple!

And finally. . .

Just why is it, when everybody is so high on separation of church and state, that a large majority of the polling places are churches?   

Do we not have enough public buildings in which to hold these activities? What ever happened to using the schools or post offices, etc. for such things?

Ummmm.... excuse me.... maybe you missed the AND white people part of my post? I NEVER EVER singled black people out!!! Go back and reread my post. I realize that everybody is super emotional right now but, lets take a deep breath before we go pointing a finger at perceived racism. Like I said... it doesn't make a difference who gets into office the outcome will be the same IMO.

Our voting place was at a community center, and most of the workers were somewhere around 80 years old. They love to sit there and size you up... so to speak.

You missed my point.  I'm not hearing anything from the black community.  It is all the po' white trash that is talking riot conspiracy.  I never said you were a racist.  I just want to know where it is I can find black people saying they are ready to riot.

I think the COG likes to make their facilities available in Indiana so they can try to wield their holier than thou influence on the voters and try to guilt trip them into voting for who they think is the right candidate.

In any case, in my mind it certainly provides enough reason to question the practice! And it is rampant in Madison county Indiana from what I've seen.

I don't think we're suppose to link to other sites here. Go to the T-px forums,and you will see what I'm talking about. There is a lengthy thread about police fearing riots. IMO.... it's 50/50. It's crazy for anybody to do the nonsense that people are threatening other people with.

Ya know... I've lived in small towns my entire life, and I'm always very uncomfortable voting. I don't like to vote but, I feel like it is my duty as an American, to put my 2 cents in.

But where are the police getting this information from?  I'm just being that annoying three year old that keeps asking why.  I haven't heard anything from the one side, just a bunch of noise from the other who think that Obama will take their guns away so they might as well shoot him first before that happens.

I don't know where the police came up with it. I think people are just scared. Each person that posts comes up with something to try to one up the other. That's what creates the fear. It's funny how people go all apeshit mad, and start being keyboard warriors. I very seldom post at any of the sites I go to. I read what other people are saying. I just hope that whatever the outcome of this election is ,that people will think before they get something started, and it gets outta control. The last thing America needs is another war.

JMO but I'm pretty sure all of this is just scare tactics raised by the subcultural fringes of society. The sheet wearers and wanna' b's used this methodology to try to exercise some influence the election.

They'll keep it up too because typically when these elections end up going against what they want, it brings in disillusioned voters to their ranks; at least for a period of time.

Its the ugliness of American culture. . .
