What makes you grumpy.....

[Rebel SS]

Time for a daily "grump"column.....what bugs you? The news? People? Daily things? Anything goes...if it bugs ya, post about it! 

Mine today: Diversity. I'm all for it, let it happen, but what about when it goes too far with one specific group? Can it? That's the #1 thing in this city...it's non-stop on TV, the radio, the news, the paper...diversity, diversity, diversity. That's all they talk about. It's rammed down yer throat 24/7/. A buddy of mine and his wife that were visiting here from Idaho thought it was totally insane, the lengths they go to here to push it. Rochester, according to reports, has the highest influx of Somalians of any city in Minnesota, beating out Mpls/St. Paul by a wide margin.
They say they aren't getting proper treatment or respect here....latest is they don't understand the voting process, and no one is attempting to speak with them or teach them. Sooo...they had a state legislator come down and hold a special meeting just for them, with interpreters,  to help them. Forty people showed up. They scream they aren't included in things in the city. We now have special meetings just for them...they now have special prayer areas at many work places. Mayo has a lot for them...since they are so big on the diversity thing.
On the other side of the coin, I never see any of them volunteering at the Salvation Army, ringing bells,  or some of the Homes for Habitat, clothing drives, or other charity functions that I volunteer for. To be involved, don't you need to GET involved? Put forth some effort!! My buddy, that runs the school lunch program, said most get the free or low-cost meals, which they then dump in the trash, eating just the fruit or juice, yet they have to give them a full tray of food. He said it makes him want to tear out his hair.
I feel they are given more opportunities than other groups, and it;s ridiculous the changes we've made to our country to accommodate some of these groups...no national anthem, so as not to offend them; no "Christmas vacation", now it's "Winter holidays", etc. Now they want the school holidays changed here, as it does not coincide with THEIR holidays, and "makes it difficult to keep up in school".....HELLO!!! What country are you living in right now?? YOU chose to come here, right?  I'll let you decide if the perks they receive are over the top in comparison to others or not...that's my gripe for the day!

1.  I couldn't agree more Rebs.  I saw that  long post and thought it was too long to read and then I thought what does Grumpy have to say so I read it.  You couldn't have said it better.  I have nothing against them.  I read there are 26 other Muslim countries they could have gone to but they chose here.  We have a great country.  Maybe they need to hire someone to help them get aquainted with "OUR" customs since they are in"OUR" country.  I guess that if I went to another country I would feel that it was "MY" responsibility to learn the proper way to do things and not expect it to be handed out to me.  This MN nice and US nice has already bitten us in the ass.  Maybe a "NICE" thing back in the 50's and 60's when I feel people took more personal responsibilities for what they did.  Now it is expected that the money that comes out of my pocket for taxes should pay their way.  AND I don't only mean Somalis.  Many of our own are sucking off the system just as bad. 

2.  The Vikings.

[Rebel SS]

I didn't spoil yer cereal Boar, other's did! Don't be blaming ME! It's time for people to stand up for our country and our rights...learn to follow OUR rights and beliefs, if you want to become a member of OUR country....or get yer azz out!!! We have to follow other country's rules when we go there...even Canada's...and rightly so. I agree 100% with the views of Australia's prime minister.

[Boar]

Well thank you. I also spoiled several other cereals this morning during negotiations. Got quite testy! :rotflmao:dam I love my job!

These are elected officials, that are representing our state that get government subsidies to bring these people here.
They get a hand wash to get money, and we get F'ed because we get to deal with the aftermath.

Minnesota Nice, is a bunch of bull. .....

Just my 2 pennies.....

[Rebel SS]

People that can't park properly. They must think that lot belongs to them.

Now just hold on a minute HD! 

I will have to say I agree with Reb on the first post.  Now a days you add the words "Equity" or "It's for the Children" and people are throwing money at it left and right. Nonprofits are the new way to make money now a days.

[Rebel SS]

Sure wish someone would throw money MY way.  Hmmmmmm...where's my thong? 

[HD]

Still waiting smurf?

Go ask Tim Powlenty (sp) how much money he got in government subsidies when he allowed all the Somalia's to come to Minnesota. Now Rick Nolan, is trying the same with Syran refugees......

Sorry....just a few more pennies....

[HD]

Well....Reb...asked what makes me grumpy. Now you know....
Folks have to look farther into who they vote for...not just those stupid commercials they spew out...  Hillary, just look into the Clinton Foundation, not to mention bengazzi or whitewater.
Hire her just cause she's a women? 
Pretty sure we could find a better women...

Just like the fees to keep this site running...increase 12 dollars a year for the same service?  Something just don't jive here. ...

People who don't pay attention to their driving because they can't put the phone down

not saying Hillary is at all the answer but Trump and all his blow hearted wind and lawsuits ain't the answer either.

[Rebel SS]

NO POLITICS!!! TOO MUCH ALREADY!!!! 

[HD]

Fine party pooper....

How about when yur driving home and yur following some chick on her cell phone in the left lane, then when the right lane clears up....she pulls into it, and cuts you off from the person that is now....infront of you...and now is just keeping up with that car. 

[Rebel SS]

Or....that person in front of you at the grocery store....after you've been in line quite a while....waits until ALL her purchases are rung up, THEN starts looking for her debit card....AND her coupons...IDIOT!!! You CAN do that AND use the card right away, you don't have to wait until the last thing is rung up!!! 

[Boar]

muffin Heads, and bad cereal!! warm beer,  the recent politic, looking at the thinking about going fishing thread and knowing those days are over.....

[Leech~~]

Great then we will have had our 1st Black President which will still screwed up since he is only half black. 
Then we will have the 1st Woman who is of the highest moral values. 
The next I guess will be a Transgender so we have everyone all happy and ever theme covered.   

Then may be we can stop all the craziness and vote in a Leader to get this shipwreck back on course! 

Ok "NO POLITICS!!! TOO MUCH ALREADY!!!!" after this one!

[LPS]

I will say that our economy is unbelievably better than it was 9 years ago.  Gas prices were almost $4 a gallon a few years ago.  We are not on a wage freeze like we were 6 years ago where I work. Interest rates for those that are buying a house or car are at record lows. For those with lots of money in savings that means low gains. That is not so good.  But it is wonderful compared to the Bush screw the worker years.  BUT the lets help everyone era has to be done.  By helping everyone who is too lazy to work or new here cuz we brought them here has got to stop.  Let's help our own!  So how do I vote for that?????  Like Bob Shaffer who knows a lot more than any of us said, we have turned into a banana republic third world country with our political candidates....   IT IS EMBARRASSING!!!!

Not being able to have a cold beer after the day-long yard work this afternoon. 

[Jerkbiat]

I agree 100%. What Rebs brought up makes me grumpy and it just keeps getting worse. I blame a lot of it on the media for constantly ram it down our throats. And also what LPS said the VIKES, they really made me grumpy Monday night.

[Boar]
