All true.

We used to hold successful people up as examples. Now, if your hard work pays off, you must be guilty of something.

Those who have no idea what it takes to build something, think they are entitled to a piece of “your” pie.

I have to laugh...remember when people would ask their successful friends for a job? Now they want to skip that part and they just ask for equity.

This pretty much echoes my train of thought for the past couple of years. I’m fed up. I believe in fighting in self defense ONLY...but...

I recently put see through scope mounts on my 22. At 30 yards you can cover 10 shots with a quarter. I’m stocked up with enough ammo to keep most thugs out of the house for as long as I expect to live through it...22, 9mm, 243, 16 ga, 380...

And 3 years ago all I had was a half dozen buckshot...

I’m getting really sick of these turds. While being non religious, I do strongly believe in the “golden rule”, according to most of the world’s major religions.

Treat other people the way you want them to treat you.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto uou...if you have to have the bible version...yes, I did read it, about 6 times cover to cover.

And this is basically the idea the author is trying to convey. I don’t mind if you voice your opinion, until you try to scream it at me then tell me to shut the hell up...

All you have to do is ask yourself, would I want him to do that to me? If the answer is no, don’t do it to him. Go ahead, try it. Pick one of the 10 commandments and look at it that way. You’ll find you never have to worry about the 10 commandments again, just that one guideline.

Thou shalt not steal...

Would I want you to break in and steal my tv? Nope. So I shouldn’t do that to you. Same for the other 9.

And you don’t have to be religious to live that way. I wouldn’t dream of burning down a businees and stealing everything in sight for sake of a political narrative...

I would never even think of walking up and punching someone just because his political views differ from mine. But this is the kind of mentality these people are promoting.

And I’m getting damn tired if it. My patience is nearing its end...

I got my first lesson of "caring" many years ago when I applied for college financing. I came from a solid middle class family, but there was no money set aside for college and I needed financial help as much as anyone. Even back then, I was aghast at how many grants and scholarships I was not eligible to apply for because I was a POS white guy. Yet, what few grants and scholarships I was eligible to apply for, so was everyone else. Boy, was I privileged! Thankfully, I was able to secure loans and attend college. Loans that I had to pay every penny back, with high interest .

That was long ago. I'm sure it's exponentially tougher for a white guy to get free college money. Could explain why a statistically significant number of more females are in college these days compared to males.

The author neglected to mention what I consider the ultimate black privilege; affirmative action. Two Americans with identical qualifications apply for the same positions in government or corporate entities, one black, the other white - the black applicant has an unfair advantage due only to the color of his skin!

I knew a woman who was an excellent middle manager with plenty of experienced, but when her company downsized and laid her off, she was unable to find another job in that field. Prospective employers told her that these jobs were reserved for racial minorities, and being of German and Polish ancestry, she was out of luck. She finally gave up and opened a cake decorating business.

Generally speaking, the concept of identity politics is foreign to whites. This is a good thing. When whites say they aren't racist or bigoted, it's because they don't ever see themselves or others as being defined by their racial or cultural identity. If they do have prejudices, these prejudices are based on data and experience, not because of an obsession to see the world through the lens of identity politics.

By telling whites that seeing the world in a color blind way they are "racists", they are forced to be able to see the world in a different way, which they see immediately is ridiculous-- they are not racist, they have always given groups that are identify focused the benefit of the doubt and even granted them special rights and privileges. Being rational creatures, they realize that the point of this system of radicalized identity politics is to force them to be seen as a distinct group to be marginalized by other groups with political power. This is a bad thing, because if whites are forced to resort to tribalism, the outcome will not be pretty. When other identity groups riot, some windows are broken, some stores looted. When whites riot, continents burn and whole peoples disappear from history.

We have had enough.

What does that mean?

It's nice sentiment from you and many others on here, but let's face it, if you're typing it, you're not doing anything about it. Sitting anonymously behind a computer isn't exactly doing something about it, am I right?

When someone recently posted a thread about the do-nothing Congress Critters and the ongoing riots, someone aptly replied, "They're representing us well."

My challenge to you and all those who have had enough is, what are you going to do about it? Not next week, but today?

I've been writing these kinds of posts for a few years now because everybody SAYS they've had enough, but obviously they haven't else there would be change. No one's willing to put actions to their words. You obviously have NOT had enough yet.

what are you going to do about it?’

I understand the frustration, we all have it.

Voting for conservatives for the last 40 years is apparently not enough. Looking for options....Waiting for OUR riots to start.

I don’t know.

“Could explain why a statistically significant number of more females are in college these days compared to males.”

One of the reasons is because the boys are playing video games while the girls are actually studying. It’s the culture. I have one of each.

Another reason is because girls are given advantage because of feminism. They get the jobs, the house, the kids, etc.

It’s just not worth it for men to marry American women, unless they are Conservative, and even that’s a risk.

Use condoms and spermicide jelly. Take your sperm with you. Never trust women. They lie, and it ruins your life.

Double DNA testing from different companies will vindicate you. Then they are busted.

” I never cared if you were “gay” or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until you started shoving it down my throat. “

I did. It was anathema to me then, still is now. More importantly, same situation for God.

And NEVER sign a birth certificate. I know it sounds harsh, but it will save you untold pain in the future. If you are a man of means, have her sign a prenuptial agreement with a notary public present.

In case of divorce, which mostly women initiate,you will be protected especially if the prenup was very restricted, like to NOTHING. (Do you love me, or my future earnings, or present assets?)

If she protests, then go find another one. There are plenty of fish in the sea.

I'm sure it's exponentially tougher for a white guy to get free college money.

I'm not sure about scholarships, but it is easier for a white male to get into college than a white female. The reason, many young men, especially those with computer skills, decided to go straight to work and not apply to college. More women are applying and their test scores and GPA are higher.

That said, don't think you or your sister are going to get into Harvard. You must be a minority, first person in your family to go to college or raised in a ghetto to get even a second look.
