STOOPS

Are you completely stupid or can't you read or...

According to the 2000 US Census, there are 35 million Hispanics in the US.

According to the 2000 US Census, there are (roughly) 10 million Hispanics between the ages of 6-17 (pee wee, jr. high, and high school age).

According to the 2000 US Census, (assuming the ratio of men to women holds true) there are roughly 4 million Hispanic boys between the ages of 6-17.

According to the 2000 US Census, (assuming the ratio of men to women holds true), there are roughly 17.5 million black and white boys between the ages of 6-17. 

Boys.  Not total hispanics. 

God, why am I arguing this with you?  You can't even grasp the concept of racism, much less ratios and big numbers with more than one zero. 

Done.  Out. 

CBS, give me a friggin' ignore button already!!!!!!!!

come on people wake up...this country is about to elect either a black guy or worse yet a woman to run this country and all you can argue about is whether Mexican people can play football....come on....we may all soon have to move to Canada.....

it doesn't matter who gets elected, Obama, Clinton or McCain, I don't think any one of them capable of running this country, properly......both parties are pathetic....

I have to agree as well, we're in deep trouble. At least we found something to agree on.

What say you, Mrsooner?

I want to make sure my students are citizens of the world so every Wednesday I DVR national and local news, burn it to a DVD and we do "It's News To Me Thursdays".  Being an election year, every week I make sure to include some sort of political news. 

I am amazed and the hatred my kids have for George Bush.  The comment I get most of the time is "George Bush hates Mexicans".  Of course, I try to explain that he has Hispanic nieces and nephews.  I try to explain that Bush is the one pushing a guest worker program. 

Anyway, one of the things I keep trying to hammer into their little noggins is that they MUST think for themselves.  Here are some of the key points I keep telling them.

Sen. Obama can make a great speech.  Wonderful.  Elect his speech writer.  Always listen to what they say when they are speechifying.  Then you'll have a better idea of who you are dealing with.

Sen. Clinton criticizes Obama for not being in touch with the "common man" at the same time she is loaning her campaign $11 million from her personal checking account.  How in touch with the common man is a woman who has been a millionaire lawyer/politician most of her life?

Sen. McCain is an enigma.  It's hard to tell what he believes and anyone who is willing to change his core beliefs to get votes is a man who I have a hard time trusting. 

Yep, we are hosed!

I hear ya SoonerAlum,

While they are not perfect candidates by any means, what was wrong with Mitt Romney, Joe Biden, Huckabee, or even Ron Paul? We as Americans sure have a nasty habit of eliminating the better choices.

  Many of you may faint at your keyboard, but  Mr. Sooner is correct on his assessment of our nations dire straits in my opinion. There is a small percentage of the population that controls the wealth in America. As inflation looms wages for an hourly employee remain steadfast. The cost of living increase is not  being being equaled by higher wages.  The corruption in Oklahoma alone is a key as to why we have the nations most dangerous roadways to travel on. Citizens have been fleeced by elected officials.

   I agree their are no worthy canidates for president. But as long as we have all the bickering between parties nothing will ever be accomplished , and no one individual can make a difference. America has been divided , and we the people are feeling the brunt of it. Everything seems to hinge on agendas , " vote for me and I will do this for you".  My home town has been picked like a chicken by corrupt, elected officials , and we have the highest water rates and sales tax of any city in Oklahoma trying to make up for all the taxpayers money being embezzled, and many of it spent at the local casino that our govenor so vigorously pursued. I don't even know why the hell I am talking about politics , it just pisses me off!! Where is Ross Perot when you need him ?????????????????
