But if you heard her talk, you'd be turned off. She is seriously, every stereotype that you hear about dumb blonds (except she ain't blond). But she is dumber than a box of rocks. I am not sure I could do it, just because she might actually speak and that will make your dick go limper than Depo-Provera.
I don't care how dumb she is or what she sounds like. Nothing would "deflate" me if I got the chance.

Nice try Tiger. I live in San Diego and subscribe to the UT. Navarette is a leftist hack. Yes, sunshine, he DOES have an axe to grind. Seriously, why are you trying to defend him?
While I'm sure some people who oppose illegal immigration are racists, guess what Tiger? It's still illegal! It is inconsequential if they are racist and that is the base of their opinion. We are a nation of LAWS, NOT MEN.
My wife is a naturalized citizen from Honduras. She emigrated here legally when she was 14. She is staunchly opposed to illegal immigration also. Want to know why? Because she has principles. We have tried repeatedly to get her father (who still lives there) a visitors visa and he has repeatedly been denied. And save the excuses, he has nothing in his past to prevent him from getting a visa. This is largely because of the flow of illegals coming here. But she (we) will not consider breaking laws to get him here. The sooner we fix this mess of a system, the sooner good people can come here the way the system is designed.
If we don't protect our borders, language and culture, we're doomed...
Leftist hack??? I don't subscribe to the UT,but I've read quite a bit of his stuff as our local paper carries him. He takes a liberal lean on some things but is pretty conservative on others. He's been very critical,at different times,of both Republicans and Democrats. I've never viewed him as a leftist,but maybe you've read more of him than I have. My mother,as well as other family members came here from Venezuela,legally. So I know what you speak of as far as immigration policy goes. You are right,the system (or lack there of) is a mess,and needs to be fixed. My family tends to look at illegals as line cutters. While some try to do the right thing and wait their turn,others are breaking the law,cutting in front and making it harder for the law abiders to get in. But it won't be stopped until the employers hiring illegals are dealt with. To crack on the immigrant is the easy part,but it's only half of the equation. Get a reliable national ID system and stiff penalties for employers hiring illegals,and the flow of illegals is cut to a trickle. The hypocrisy and grandstanding of the politicians on this issue,by both parties,is sickening.

If you can't recognize that his heritage, the region he lives in, and his past pieces of journalism regarding this topic as a supporting argument of him having a predetermined biased view, then I don't know what to tell you....
You know that if he would of tangibly observed or heard something that supported his claim that those kids were acting in the manner that he described, that it would of been mentioned in that article, so let's forget about his overview for a second, and please give me a specific example in how he came to the conclusion that those kids were behaving in an "out of control" or "mischievous" manner.
His heritage or location are no reason to judge Navarette. His past journalism is,and you probly know that he points out the hypocrisy of the illegal immigration debate. The way the immigrant is targeted because he's an easy mark. Meanwhile the employers who lure them are free to go on exploiting illegals,at substandard wages,because they pay for the politicians.But back to THIS subject....You've probly read and watched as much as I have about this incident and if you can't see that these kids were trying to stir up some racial trouble...then,to steal your quote,I don't know what to tell you. Do you really think they all just happened to wear their flag clothes on Cinqo de Mayo? Come on. These kids knew what they were doing. They wanted to start some trouble,make as big an issue as possible, and get some attention,all the while hiding behind the flag. If a group of Latino kids,with chips on their sholders, did the same on July 4th,I wouldn't be upset if they were sent home. Even if one of them was my kid.

Really? Well lets see here, Ruben Navarette is a Mexican American, who lives in San Diego who has a history of writing pieces of journalism propagating "anti-immigrant", "racist" behavior of some of those that oppose illegal immigration.
Just look at the absurd characterizations, referring them as "mischievous", "brats" and "out of control". Why? Because they decided to wear T-shirts of the American flag, even though school officials implored students not to do so? If they were trying to make a political statement, right or wrong, it's their right to do so, despite school officials wishes. That is where the school !@#$ed up, this is a public school, and I believe they don't have the authority to tell their students to not be able to express their first amend rights of freedom of speech, as long as it fits "proper" moral decorum.
The school was wrong, and I think that's pretty much been established and agreed upon amongst reasonable thinking people, however, I've said this before, the kids knew that they were going to get some lash back amongst their peers, and to an extent rightfully so. However, that's another matter, and that isn't what we are talking about here.
But there is no rational basis, derived from facts for him to characterize these kids with the adjectives that he described them with.
Just because the kids defied the school on a matter that is supported by the law for their side doesn't mean they are "mischievous", "brats" and "out of control". Maybe they really are brats, maybe they are trouble makers, but based on what Navarette or other news outlets opinions regarding this subject, you can't reasonably come to that conclusion, unless you have an agenda.
Some of the loudest voices in the discussion of illegal immigration ARE racist. Navarette calls them out on it. Just because they may be right on SOME issues of the immigration debate doesn't mean that some of these loud mouth,right wing cats aren't racist. You may not agree with Navarette but you can't just discredit him by saying "he has an axe to grind". He's very close to,and educated on this issue. His views don't fit neatly into the liberal or conservative camps and that gives guys like you a headache
I've read several articles and watched a few video clips about this incident and I've come to the same conclusions as Navarette. These kids were looking to make trouble and thought by doing it the way they did,it would make them bullet-proof. School officials first obligation is to keep the school a safe place to learn,that's all they were trying to do. If you really think all reasonable people agree with your view,you're either very close minded or hang with a crowd that lacks any kind of diversity.

I turned it on when they had the five finalists left. While all were attractive, I had a pretty good feeling (so to speak) that she was going to win it all. She is gorgeous.
P.S. When I saw her initially, I did not know her name and presumed that she was a latina.
Like you,I tuned in about the last 20 minutes and saw the final 5. I thought she really stood out above the others. Absolutely beautiful,imo. My wife had to tell me to shut up about how hot she was.

If by good you mean pointless and barely worth the time it took to read it, then yes, it was a very good article.
Pointless? Why is that? Because you disagree with him? Ruben Navarette is a sydicated colunmist who gets paid very well to write his opinion. How about you? Who's really pointless? I don't think it's Navarette.

A good editorial, From who's perspective? Ruben Navarrette from San Diego?
Ya, this guy doesn't have an axe to grind.
What axe would Navarette have to grind?

Here's a good editorial on the issue.

I understand though, the pawn shop owner needs to make money, so to me $1000 in my hand is worth avoiding the trouble of waiting for an auction that might bring me more money.
I think you have to pay the auction a percentage too. Not sure how much,but I think I've heard like 20%.

I bought my Carhart coveralls for 50% off at GI Joe's vs the army and navy store. So there, bragger
You and me both. It's Work World and Sears for me. I actually don't even own a suit. -
I don't know if much will really come of this,but I'd love to see Kiffen get slammed with some serious sanctions.

Well - be sure to tell all your buds to pay for auto insurance - unlike the fellow that tore off the rear bumper of my wife's car 2 years ago. He paid $300 bail, then vanished. We forked over a $500 deductible and our ins. co. forked out another $1,500 for the repair.
Sorry to hear that. We have our share of dumbasses,just like any other ethnic group.

We have a rising Hispanic population here, so demand is high.
We're movin' in everywhere bro!

I usually do it with garlic, thyme, bay leaves, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
That sounds really different. I'll have to give that a try.
I usually use lime juice,oil,cumin,garlic,cilantro,salt and black pepper. Sometimes I throw in a little tomato juice. Gotta let it marinade at least overnight. I also like to chop up some fresh vegtables and throw them in the marinade too. Grill everthing together. Damn,I'm getting hungry! -
I marinate flank steak overnight. Oil, some lemon juice, and a bit of marjoram powder, black pepper and paprika. Marinated flank is very good,especially in a citrus marinade. Try adding a little cumin and cilantro.

Ugh can't stand farmed fish
Can you really tell a difference?

Grilled chuck-eye marinated in chimmi churri with black beans and rice. That's a beautiful meal!

They would also have you work on empathy so you don't, say, scream at a cashier in pizza hut for getting a weak pie.
Seems like I've heard about somebody around here doing that.

Not exactly true. Here is a link to the news report. Shows what each kid was wearing that day. One had a bandana on, was told to remove it because it was against the dress code and did. Another kid had US flag themed sneakers. The report does not specify if the kid was asked to remove his sneakers and walk around in socks all day.
Were the kids trying to make a bit of a statement...sure they were. But any kid in the USA should be able to wear the US flag on any day. If we start with Cinco de Mayo...what's next St. Patrick's Day? St. Stanislaus? The day of the Puerto Rican day parade in NYC? C'mon...we are in the USA here. The HS administrators were stupid in taking the bait the kids obviously laid out. If they had ignored the issue, we'd have no news report.
Interestingly, the district disagreed publicly with the HS decision and met with all the parents that day. Methinks someone at the HS is in a bit of trouble and it won't be the kids.
Watching the news clip just confirmed my belief that these kids had a chip on their shoulder and were looking to stir up crap. The school handled it fine. There was no violence and the kids(and their parents)got to stand on their soapbox. I agree that ignoring them may have been better,because then these pinheads don't get the attention,but that ran the risk of an ugly situation at the school. If anything,the school administrators erred on the side of caution.

So you have no problem with the school sending kids home for wearing the American flag on their shirts while allowing other students to wear the Mexican flag on their shirts and faces? You do realize this was a school located in America right? Why do some immigrants feel absolutely no need to assimilate and accept American culture? And when did "freedom from being offended" become a right?
The kids were told to take off the badanas and turn their shirts in. They refused,so they were sent home because they defied an order. These kids were looking to stir up some trouble and get attention. The school stopped them from making trouble,but they got their attention. I don't think it's a big deal.
