Wow, two attack necroposts, don't think I've seen this one before. Never mind that I said that friggin two years ago, you just had to get in a jab at me because I insulted your precious little mound of dirt. Christ calm down, because we all know the best way to deal with something said two years ago is with a threat of physical violence, that really goes a long way toward eliminating all those stereotypes of Puerto Ricans created by that wonderful parade of yours.I do stand by what I said, but by no means am I racist. I have absolutely nothing against people from Puerto Rico, I merely have a major problem with their arrangement within this country. They pay very little in taxes yet recieve a disproportionately large amount of money from the Federal Government. At the same time a whole bunch of folks who gladly take that money want independence and protest things like Vieques. Every state in the union has a US military practice range in it, yet for some reason Puerto Rico is special and thus shouldn't have a range? Of course the joke is on them since it was basically put together by a developer and now the poor folks who lived around the range will get screwed by them. If PR is so great then fine, let them go, or if they're truely unable to run their own country without our infusions of cash then make them a state. But the current arrangement where they can dictate terms to the US while gulping down cash from the Feds royally sucks. At the very least if the PR folks woulda settled down and become a state prior to 2000 they probably woulda gone for Gore and he would have been president no matter what happened in Florida. IMHO that's enough of a reason to be pissed at their inability to shit or get off the pot. |
