    Yes, whites far outnumber blacks in this country so the numbers should naturally lean towards whites, but imo those whites and blacks are taking advantage of all of us who bust our ass to just make it.

    I own my own business. I gross roughly 140k a year. once i pay out everything for labor and expenses I'm left with about 90k.

    Then comes taxes. I'm penalized for being in business for myself. with a good accountant i might walk with 65k.

    you telling me i shouldn't be pissed for having to give up 25k a year to people who wont pull their own weight?


    Especially when they drive Hummers and have 42 inch plasma's and I'm driving a beat the **** up truck and watch an old ****ing tube 32 inch?

    You firkin a right I'm pissed off!

    you should be too!
    I'm fortunate to have a good pedigree and a very good income. My gf makes less, but she also has a good income.

    We have no kids and pay roughly 40% on taxes. My kids don't use schools, I get NOTHING free from the government and I'm still gouged on my property taxes.

    It's the nature of the beast.

    We are spending billions each day/week in Iraq on a senseless war. The US has now been in Iraq for longer than WWII lasted. Think about that.

    And to make matters worse for me, I don't even plan to stay in this country. As soon as my nest egg hits $XXXXXX, I'm outta here. Back home.

    So, what exactly did I give up 40% of my income for?

      I just tease you , man.. calm down.

      I went to SUNY undergrad... Stony Brook. BS Engineering. worked for a couple of years, went to NYU for my MBA and spent a couple years with McKinsey.

      There's nothing wrong with a state school. But I had to give you **** because you took a very haughty stance about your education. Like you were teh first human to go to school. I don't wear my pedigree on my sleeve 9or try not to). But I had to call you on it when you start calling people "******".

        My fault. I didn't understand what he meant when he said that 'he regretted cheering for a white Middle weight champ simply because it is something new'. I've already got the impression that he is definitely a *******, though all of us have flaws..

          If the purpose of college is to develop minds, then how do you turn away someone because their mind is underdeveloped. Feel me?

          There's an ass for every seat. If someone gets an 18 (I assume that's bad), just send them to University of Mediocre. Er, i mean Univ of Maryland.
          Taken out of context Dios.


          No, there is no line, but the fact remains that some are not dedicated enough to take advantage of the oppoutunity, therefor those seat should be filled by those that are worthy.

          I would rather pay for non americans that actually want the education and dedicate to become more than they are.


          How many so called college graduates end up working in the fast food industry? would you call that beneficial to society? If my money is taken, then i say that money should atleast be used to better society. That way atleast i can benefit second hand.


          You seem intelligent Dios. a little obsessed with smallish black atheletes!lol, but intelligent none the less.


          You think spending billions to educate people that go to college to avoid work is wise as a nation?

          Do you think increasing taxation to pay for an ever expanding segment of the population that would rather not work is wise as a nation?

          Is it wise to provide for those that do not contribute to the national health or strength of the economy?

          This country is based on Capitalism. The smarter guy gets ahead. Thats why we have come to dominate the world economy. Now we find ourselves becoming a nation of welfare recipiants. where does that lead?

          Every great nation in the history of mankind has fallen, and ours will be no different, but we do have a choice as to how we fall.

          I prefer it not to be because of a populace that just got ****ing lazy!!!

            oh, the torture!!! please help me as i am worried about hatton defeating mayweather. i must admit. no chance in hell. call me a fanboy or nuthugger all you want, but when it comes to boxing, floyd is the best in the sport, bar none. i have been around the sport all my life and i have seen many greats, and floyd is no exception.

            a lot of you so called boxing fans who criticize mayweather's fans lose substance with your posts because for so called boxing fans to constantly make posts/threads about a guy who is supposedley so hated and a coward in the ring is befuttling to me. mayweather's name will continue to grow whether he is hated or loved. the man is boxing's top dog and has been for a couple of years now. his name is on everybody's tongue from other boxers, promoters, trainers, internet boxing forum people like ourselves, and many more abroad including the media to name a few.

            what i don't get is how many of you on here call yourselves boxing fans but spend majority of your time bashing one fighter when you should be making posts about upcoming fights or legendary fighters or legendary matches or what have you, but instead make it a routine to bash floyd mayweather jr, or claim such and such would kill him or beat him, from past greats to current greats. i mean, juan diaz just won his fight this past saturady and already, you ****** ****ing people have him in a fantasy matchup against mayweather. or you guys are so obssessed with mayweather losing to your favorites that you make posts about fights that will never happen, like hagler vs mayweather, or hearns vs mayweather, or leonard vs floyd, or duran vs floyd, pryor vs floyd, roy jones vs floyd, calzaghe vs floyd, kessler vs floyd just to name a few. then everytime floyd fights, you contradictiary ass clowns claims floyd's opponent has the best shot at beating him or has the style to give floyd the most problems like a shane mosley who turned floyd down, now many of you are giving hatton the best shot at beating floyd because of his pressure, but then go on to claim that cotto has the best shot at floyd becasue he keeps on fighting, or paul williams punches too much for floyd and hi shigh volume of punches and his reach would be toom much for floyd to handle. i mean, the same old bull**** that has been going on in this forum for over a year now. it is tiresome, and redunduant and recycled rhetoric/garbage from the so called boxing fans.

            i could name all of you who do this and bring up you old posts but i'll leave it that this for now.

            when you boxing jackasses known as floyd haters actually get a prediction you make, right, then post your comments with decent points and proof, but until then keep pushing your opinions off as fact because that is what you guys are best at anyway, nothing really important that makes this forum have any significance but instead just a bunch of little crybabies claiming this and that about the p4p champion.

            and, once again, mayweather will dominate hatton, easily, i guarantee you all. mark these words.

              Theres the problem which you show your ignorance by not understanding, they arent sending the affirmative action cases to mediocre schools, theyre stealing spots at harvard and yale and all the way down the line(including the spot you stole at NYU).
              Having said that, I honestly dont mind affirmative action for african americans because I have worked in the ****** of Bmore for 3 years trying to help at risk kids and teens make something out of their absolutely depressing lives. There is some truth to the need for some sort of reperations for slavery(in the form of affirmative action) for them similar to that we give to Native americans.

              but hispanics? theyre not oppressed...wtf why do they get one dime?

              Just an FYI,

              You have beat your chest about the AA issue on a coupke of occasions. You may wantto check the entrance criteria. The lowest person at harvard/ duke/ NYU would get into Maryland. So, slow your roll.

                You gave it up for the lazy bastards that won't work or better themselves, same as me.


                So you see Dios, we are not that different in that respect. Out of curiosity where is Home?

                  Dios, On the war thing. That aint real money being spent freind. The fed hasn't made real money in a decade. They basically just create the money. It's called hyper inflation, and at some point it will come back to bite us in the ass.

                  Besides, we are in hock so bad as a nation we will never recover from it. Luckily, we are the cog in the world economy atm, but the minute china surpasses us through industrialization the **** is gonna hit the fan for all us fat assed SUV driven pigs!

                  Bet on that!

                    You bring up some interesting points.

                    I spent some time in Cuba (obviously not capitalistic) and talked to alot of people. I have always been of the mindset that education is worthy on its own merits. For the betterment of self. Irrespective of whether there is an ROI on the tuition.

                    A better educated, more "enlightened" populace SHOULD be more ethical, more moral, more empathetic, more adaptable, etc.

                    HOWEVER, seeing the pain of the Cuban people who are largely OVEReducated has me torn. My cab driver was an engineer. He and I talked about our backgrounds and our training was similar. I'm staying in a $200/nt hotel and he is driving me around in an old , plastic Soviet-era Lada. ****ty deal.

                    But, yes, At the end of the day, I believe that education in and of itself is a good thing. Even if those people fail to apply it, or decide to sit on their fat asses. I'm Dominican, and i have seen the flip side.

                    I've seen an under-trained workforce. Not good. It's no fun to rely on the largesse of sunburned tourists.

                    Note: for a LOOOONG time, Indians were "overeducated". The US finally realized what an untapped reasource is there, and that was the genesis of the outsourcing model.

                      Oh, not that I think that there is an immediate impact on M1 or anything. But there is a real impact to the fed (unbalanced) budget and the taxation. I know people who work for the states, and the told me that their appropriations have gone down.

                      The 90's Dems had the budget deficit pared down. But the Bush years have unwound that.

                      What keeps me up at night? the trade deficit. Much more so than the budget deficit.
