Ever look at the Email you get from someone and wonder why you even still know them?
I just got the craziest Email from one of my old Fraternity peeps. (I was a member of a co-ed house in college). It was a forward about some woman who was of a culture where women keep thier faces covered (muslim I guess), and she wanted to get a drivers liscense and it was a big to-do because no one could think of a way to handle the situation properly (with respect to both rules and people).
So apparently, they let the woman take her DL photo with a scarf over her face. And the Email goes on to say how people have some nerve to expect us to change our rules for them! I agree that that particular issue is debatable, but it goes on to say shit like "speak the language if you're going to live here" --as if someone would go out of thier way to not speak english in an english speaking country. It then said some crap about this being a nation under God and how "in god we trust" is the motto of our country.
What about love thy neighbor as thyself? What about the great american metling pot? What about the fact that learning a new language--particularly English, is fucking difficult and takes time? What about the fact that there are non-natives who have lived here less than a year who speak better english than half the cutomers that rent from Blockbuster.
The Email even had crap in it about how since government is Christian, and that schools should have Christian stuff on the walls. As if separation of church and state is just passe.
I wont even go into stuff on the sacredness of the "American Lifestyle."
Bottom line is I couldn't beleive that I had studied, lauhged, cried, loved, gotten drunk with etc: someone who beleives such right-wing nationalistic bullshit. And who thought that I must share enough similar beleifs to send me such an Email??
It makes me second-guess my own behavior...like do I give the impression that I am an intolerant rascist? I certainly hope not.
Anyway, I'm going to see Willard tonight. The next best thing to seeing my hot, hot boss.

Bite me
(Anonymous) 2003-03-19 07:13 am (UTC)(link)I went on to get my MBA and I'm making 85K a year. Yeah, I'm one of those capitalists that you Commie bitches complain about. I'm the one who supports your welfare asses. If the terrorists attack again, maybe they'll hit Ann Arbor and get rid of some whiney losers.
Bye cow!

Re: Bite me
You certainly had the time to read my "masturbation fantasies", I usually charge for that, so you can consider that a freebie. Hope you got off okay.
BTW, you might be in a better mood if you had better things to do with your day besides reading people's journals looking for people to insult. Best of luck with that, Stranger.
Oh, and in college, I refused to protest the Gulf War in support of the soliders already deployed. Of course, anyone who really knew me in college would know that already.

(Anonymous) 2003-03-19 10:22 am (UTC)(link)I lived in Blair and every chick that mattered liked me. Unlike your huge stanky ass. I heard you were an obsessive stalker. You sure seem like the type. I wonder if your "boss", who is another uneducated loser like you, knows you stalk him?

Re: Bite me
Paul? You mean the guy whose initials you signed to your previous post? Oh, no cowardice there, I take it all back!
Enjoy your expensive home in Novi. (although, I don't know why you'd give that info to a stalker like me. you must dig me or something...well, I want you to know that i'm confortable with that. H however, would not like it)
Re: Bite me
And my boss does read my journal, that's kinda the point.
(I think he likes to see himself)
But nice to know the boys from Blair still appreciate irony...
