CRASH N BURN's blog: "All Saint Louis People Need to Read This!!!"

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE? I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations. I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO! I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries! I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great,great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else! And if you don't like my point of view, tough... I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!

For all you people from the MO You love toasted ravioli with Budweiser beer. "Vacation" is a choice between Silver Dollar City and Lake of the Ozarks. You can find Pestalozzi Street by aroma alone. You can get anywhere in 20 minutes, except on highway 40. You can debate for 30 minutes whether Missouri Baking or Marge Amighetti makes the best Italian bread. You know what "Party Cove" is, and where the "lake" is. You still can't believe the Arena is gone. Your first question to a new person is, "Where did you go to High School?" Your non-St. Louisan friends always ask if you're aware there is no "r" in "wash." You know at least one person who's gotten hurt at Johnson Shut-ins. You know in your heart that Mizzou can beat Nebraska in football. You think the four major food groups are Beef, Pork, Budweiser and Imo's. You know there are really only three salad dressings: Imo's, Zia's and Rich and Charlie's. You'll pay for your kid to go to college unless they want to go to KU. You would rather have a root canal without anesthetic than drive on Manchester on a Saturday afternoon. It just doesn't seem like a wedding without mostaciolli. AND YOU PRONOUNCE IT 'MUSKACHOLLI'. The balance of the menu is ham, boiled roast beef, string beans with ham and of course pitchers of Busch Bavarian (class weddings have Bud) You know, within a three-mile radius, where another St. Louisan grew up as soon as they open their mouth. You know what a Pork Steak is...and what kind of sauce to put on it! Everyone in your family has floated the Meramec River at least once. A hoosier is someone that lives just south of Chouteau, not a person from Indiana. You have made fun of Mike Shanahan and tried to imitate him ordering another cold, frosty Busch Bavarian Beer. You have listened to Mike's broadcast on KMOX, while watching the game on TV and wonder what game he is watching. A tear forms in your eye as someone mentions their favorite Jack Buck story. You've said, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Your favorite summer treat is handed to you upside-down You bleed Blue between September and May You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from St. Louis.
