to me affirmative action did four things: 1. it created more alienation and DIFFERENCES between people where there shouldnt have been, yeah we can thank our forefathers for the abuses that were bestowed upon african peoples who were taken from their lands, BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE a lot of times, and sold into slavery.
2. it makes ME, and the other mid 20 to mid 40 demographic white males, the most hindered group. as we now are lost in the shuffle when we are COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY QUALIFIED for positions, because we will not fill their AA quotas. 3. it furthers the handicapping for people that its supposed to help. 4. it prevented my father from a job in our hometown, and now he has to work out of town, not home for fucking christmas, not home for his first granddaughter's first five years of life, and numerous other things that my father cannot enjoy, because he wasnt a minority. im not against helping others, trust me, im one of the most giving motherfuckers you will ever meet. but i am against ANY, and i mean ANY special anythings for anyone based on any thing other than physical and mental handicaps. if you have a brain, two eyes, ten fingers and toes, and the wherewithall to end up here on the shores of the grand ole usa, get in the mix brother, the playing field is not easy, life is rough, but when you apply yourself, and do your thing the best it can be... you will succeed. other than that, GO THE FUCK BACK TO YOUR HOME COUNTRY, we dont want weak people here. my great-grandparents came here from norway and italy, and guess what, they figured it out, and made it. JUST FINE! with no AA, NONE whatsoever. sorry to enter into this foray late, but i just couldnt read this anymore without my input. tw -- tony Tony Weeg macromedia certified coldfusion mx developer email: tonyweeg [at] gmail [dot] com blog: http://www.revolutionwebdesign.com/blog/ cool tool: http://www.antiwrap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144357 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
