  1. Been run out of all those places or keeping one step ahead of the cops?
  2. Most did learn English. My maternal grandfather came over from Poland in his early 20s (sometime about 1910). He knew only a few words of English when he got here. He taught himself as there were no classes to teach you, no talking movies, TV or radio (none had been invented yet). He read the paper and talked to people. He said that if you ome here you better learn the language. They stopped speaking Polish at home when my mom and the other eight kids kept bugging them to. The only time I heard Polish from him was when they were talking gossip in front of us grandkids.
  3. Have you even written up a detailed business plan?
  4. It was on the way to the salvage yard (scrap heap).
  5. His first response today is to send in Federal Lawyers!
  6. Where the hell is this gubmint $ going to come from? I live in a well to do town and I watched Tuesday's Council meeting on public access. They spent the whole meeting talking about what they are cutting this year because of the economy. Also, if some of these houses become meth labs, do you know what has to be done? The entire interior is gutted or it is torn down
  7. So now you are for taking away union jobs?
  8. Sounds to me like a modern version of the begenning of "The Music Man". CS's singing sealed it for me.
  9. Natural undersea oil seeps put out a lot more than this one accident.
  10. You said you are a college student. Looks like you haven't taken any econ classes. Also, you likely haven't been out in the real world yet. Also, some government entity is involved? Sure fire way to F' it up.
  11. CS thinks all rich people are like Scrooge McDuck, rolling around on their bags of money in their vaults.
  12. I love how people who don't live in the west and southwest and probably have never been here tell us who live here how we are wrong about illegal immigration. live here for a whileand you will see we are not exaggerating. Example: Any Home Depot or Lowes- In Buffalo- no one standing out front. In California-at least 50 illegals looking for work. If you go by and don't talk to one, they swear at you in Spanish.
  13. How about testing for asbestos, lead-based paint, radon, etc. The banks require that and likely so will the govt entity. If you find some, and likely will (since this seems to be a slum, the buildings are very likely>30 years old) the remediation costs are up the wazoo!
  14. I knew someone who got stabbed in the stomach. He didn't realize it as first, as it is a burning pain, not a "stabbing" pain like a broken bone.
  15. They did put Americans out of work doing lawn care. There used to be all Japanese gardeners here in CA. A friend of mine's father had his own business. When the illegals poured in the state, he went out of business.
  16. I'm calling BS on you. Some estimates have up to a third of criminals in CA jails are illegals. Go to the ER in any hospital here. They are loaded with them. They decided to do an illegal check on a chain (10 stores) of Mexican Restaurants in my area. The owners had to close down 9 of them. You cannot get a job as a manager at any fast food place here unless you speak Spanish. I get sick of having to repeat my order every time. In the Stockton, CA area, they were giving mortgages to people ho didn't have to show income, or citizenship. basically giving homes to the illegal migrant workers from the farms. Stockton and Modesto (both in the Central Valley) have had the two biggest % of foreclosures in the country.
  17. And if you get really really hammered, write that info on you hand.
  18. Or working for a gardening company. The manager speaks English, the rest nod and smile when you ask them a question.
  19. If my calculations are correct, they needed 3.5 more votes.
  20. How did you get a speeding ticket in SF? With an 87, your usually getting honked at for going too slow in the Bay Area.
  21. Tell her to go to Mexico and swim over or run through the fence, They won't throw her out after that.
  22. Nabakov in the postgame interviews said it hit the shaft of O'Reilly's stick. The puck snuck in between his pad and the post. He said he saw the puck, but his reflexes followed it where it should have gone (behind the net) if it wasn't deflected. O'Reilly said he was trying to hit Boyle's stick, but got the puck instead.
  23. Is this related to the Claude Cooper Clean Copper Clappers caper?
  24. DC shouldn't have any voting rights. Any place stupid enough to elect Marion Berry shouldn't be allowed to vote on ANYTHING.
