She knew I was joking but she did her best anyways. She was surprised when she got the $36 tip when I left.

Blacks weren't the >only slaves in this country , they were just the majority. Did you know that the country's first railroads were built primarily by the Chinese? If America hadn't had those railroads, our machines of war and various military supplies never would have moved as quickly as they did from one coast to another, and America wouldn't have been able to help so many other countries in times of war. You say the backbone of the United Nations military efforts is the United States of America? The USA is at the front when it comes to suppressing insane dictators and making the world a kinder, gentler place? Well say a prayer and thank God for the Chinese, brothers and sisters! Hitler and Stalin would be RULING THE PLANET if America hadn't had such a fine railroad system! Now, my brothers and sisters, ask yourself... What are five colored rings and a giant torch compared to the prosperity this country has enjoyed due to the national railways? Which would you rather have - a healthy and cordial society in which to raise your offspring, or a gold medal? What is really more important - where the Olympic Games are held, or the safety and health of this beautiful place we call Earth? Here are the facts, America: we OWE China the Olympic Games! And Poe is a TERRIBLE singer! :P >I wonder why then these same people want to celebrate their >diversity by giving one group a special month (yes I an >referring to Black History Month) Defy calendars and re-name the months based on your own system of folklore. Create demigods to suit your perfect world, then give each month a special "extra" meaning, like a month to celebrate the sound of popping balloons and a month that celebrates the joyous sting of citric acid in an open wound. See how long it takes someone to question or challenge you. "Don't you know it's POP MONTH??" *POP* "Where's your balloon, moron? I hate historically ignorant people like you!" *POP* >and have different days or months to celebrate non-merit things. I HATE non-Merit months! Like earlier this year, when April was changed to Winston month? It's been Camel month for like, six YEARS now, hello?? Anyway, every month should be Merit month because they pack more of a nicotine wallop than ANY cigarette out there. Yeah, December is supposed to be Marlboro month, but we'll see what kind of shopping season the tobacco industry can cook up to challenge Christmas! HA! >What about Tiger Woods? When he won the PGA (is that right? I >don't watch golf) people were acting like they were surprised >a "black man" won. I was surprised such a young guy won it. I know what you mean. I couldn't believe some quarter-Native-American, quarter-Chinese, quarter-African-American, quarter-European-American could pull off such a stunt. Those stealthy mutts, you never know what they're gonna do next! Yes, it's amazing that a black man won, but somehow un-amazing that a Native American won. It's amazing that it's un-amazing. (it should amaze everyone, since Cherokee blood usually messes up your swing) It's amazing that anyone thinks Tiger Woods is 100% black. Or 100% anything, other than inhumanly skilled. >If slavery is so bad then PLEASE PLEASE protest the many >countries in Africa where it is still happening right now as >you read this. YEAH!!

Period. Funny how you mention a system of currency that was originally based on the Native Americans. Perhaps it's the fault of those damn injuns that blacks were enslaved? If there hadn't been so many pennies with Indian headdresses on them and buffalo nickels and other assorted Native American coinage floating around, maybe the white man wouldn't have gotten so greedy. I think we all know that the real culprit here is the feathered headdress. >After all, the KKK and everyone else was too worried about >the "damned niggers" To persecute you TOO much. The KKK worried about another group, and was almost as intolerant of them as they were of blacks. This group was called Catholics. However, unlike the obvious visual differences between white skin and brown skin and somewhat-caramel-toned skin, it's quite difficult to tell the difference between a Catholic and a non-Catholic just on sight. Thus the Catholics had the advantage of hiding their faith by keeping their mouths shut, whereas a person's skin is rather hard to cover up. But I can't believe there are so many educated people who think the KKK was anti-black and nothing else. Yes, the KKK was formed by a bunch of white guys. It was also formed by a bunch of Protestant white guys. >Off Topic: I love discussing potentially controversial topics >with intelligent people.

How do you look at a book in a >language totally foreign to you, and eventually learn it?! >I've got CDs and booklets in Chinese, and I doubt if I >stared at it for a year I'd learn anything! The English alphabet has 26 letters. The Chinese alphabet has a few more. In fact, I think the Chinese alphabet has more characters and symbols than the number of people China has killed in the last three months! "IF HATE WERE PEOPLE, I'D BE CHINAAA!!" --City Slickers It would be far easier for a Chinese-speaker to learn English than it would be for an English-speaker to learn Chinese, at least from a book with written characters in it. If the Chinese had a childhood song that listed their alphabet, like America's "ABC," it would probably take a week. In fact, it would probably take as long to sing as the entire Olympic Games! >But if they persecute people for their Christian beliefs... >why would they allow Chinese Bibles to be printed?! Who says the bibles were printed in China? If fireworks are illegal, how did I get them? If ordering a Russian wife in the mail is illegal, how do they get here? If Kid Rock is correct, and "boy bands are TRASH!!", how do they keep appearing??? Did you know that the US government can impose limitations on car manufacturers as to how powerful a car's engine can be? Think about that the next time you get a speeding ticket. Think about that the next time you see a speed-limit sign. The US government allows engines to run faster than 55mph for the same reasons the Chinese let Chinese bibles get printed - a conspiracy to maintain a murder-quota so high that it leaves the last three years of all the other countries' murderings in the dust! Wait, speeding tickets don't result in the death penalty... Okay I got my facts mixed up... >Another thing is... do they like Americans? Of course not. It's common knowledge that the Chinese hate ALL Americans. If you see a Chinese person walking the streets of America, you can spit on them and it's perfectly legal. If they have a dog, or some other outdoor pet, you can kick it all you want. In fact, if a police officer sees you doing this, they are required by law to give you a $50 governmental gift certificate to be used at a later date to pay off a ticket. This can be used for anything - parking tickets, speeding tickets, anything that gets issued by another police officer. The Chinese hate Americans so much that our government actually rewards people for anti-Chinese activities. Think about that the next time you sink your teeth into an eggroll - you are angrily devouring a piece of Chinese history! MUNCHMUNCHMUNCH!! >Not to change the subject but, does anyone know if the >Japanese persecute against christianity? Hey hey hey! Wait your turn! We haven't finished hating the Chinese! Please refer to the official Angry Psychos Hate-List: Serbians are next, followed by Southern Rednecks. I think the Japanese are number six on the list, right before Child Molesters. >The other thing is: Why do they celebrate Christmas?!?! I've wondered this, too. Here in America, Christmas is the holiest of days, celebrated with a month of love, caring, generosity, and nationwide prayer. All we do is thank God for our lives, our good fortune, and the promise of eternal life in Heaven. Since that's all America does to celebrate Christmas - - bask in the warmth of bright, shining Christianity - why would a non-Christian country celebrate this most religious occasion? Shopping exchanging gifts racking up credit card debt decorating trees invading malls perpetuating the fantasy of Santa Claus blah blah blah? :) Bafu Vai _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ End of angry-psychos-digest V6 #308 ***********************************
