People who crowd the right side of the right lane at a stop light and don't leave enough room for others to make a right turn. If they stayed to the left of their lane, we could all get past them. :mad:

My 2 biggest pet pieves.
Pet Pieve number 1: Messy ass bathrooms. You know the type, theres like 60,000 different types of body wash, hair careproducts, deodarants, colognes, and god knows what else. The worst is when there's all that shit and a bar of soap is nowhere to be found. This is a big reason why when living with a woman I insist on having my own bathroom I find that 7 out of 10 women seem to have bathrooms that are in the condition mentioned above.
Pet Pieve number 2: People who make things out to be a lot more then they have too. You all know the type. You explain something to them in plain english but rather then listen to what you are saying and letting it compute they are trying to come up with questions about what you're asking and how they can dispute what you just said rather then just taking it in and taking it for what it is. Thye have to make the most simple task a mathematical theorum.
I'm getting pissed off just thinking about both of these things right now.

And one other 1 that REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!
The stupid ass Colorado drivers that do what I have named "The colorado wedge." When these ****s get on the highway (this is about 85% of the pople living here) they get on and "wedge" into traffic going about 30 mph cutting off everyone in the right lane and pissing off everyone behind them then punch the gas pedal. I'd like to see these shit heads try that crap in California they'd get taken out by a semi going 75 in the right lane.

People who, when stopping for a red light, leave two car lengths of empty space in front of them, then, for no apparent reason, creep up to fill that space while the light's still red, thus making it look like I left a bunch of empty space in front of me!
Friggin people on the launch ramp who LEAVE THEIR DOORS OPEN when they get out of the tow vehicle (it's hard to back a trailer around open car doors.)
Friggin people on the launch ramp who load and unload people from the boat to the car (or vice versa) on the ramp instead of doing it in the prep area or washdown area.
People who cruise in the left lane, while people are passing them on the right, being COMPLETELY CLUELESS how they're screwing up traffic flow. KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS -- that simple rule would allow everyone to drive as fast or slow as they wanted, without any impediments to traffic flow.
I'll stop now, but I'm sure I have hundreds more!

I live in the Bay Area and commute on BART (train - $ 8.10 r/trip per day and going up). People commute with a lot of stuff these days. Get on a full train to go home, lots of people old enough to know better are taking up two seats - one for them, and one for a back pack big enough to hike Yosemite for a week. Ask if you can sit down, they look at you like you're dissing their space..

"Hey, Eminem wanna-be, if you didn't buy a ticket for that Vuitton, move your shit..." We have something similair to that here in Denver called the light rail. I no longer ride it for that reason. Several heated arguments and several close to fist fight experiences I decided I would just make the drive everyday.

We got pulled over while coming through Texas after fueling up in a small town. The cop was at the station and seen me turned around putting ice in the cooler in the back seat as the truck was pulling away from the pump. I had my seatbelt on about 100' from the station and he held us up for 30 minutes running plates and ID's. That's after he asked "Where's Alberta?!!". All for putting on my belt late.

at our police dept. the blacks started their own BPOA ,well we wanted to start our own WHITE or WASP . We were told that would be Racist and we were not allowed to have a group.
at dupont they have the BGLAD (Bi,gays,lesbians,and Dependants)they have the Black Network, Asian Network, Hispanic Network,and Womens Group but the White Males are not allowed to gather as a formal group or have their own network. WHAT KINDA SHIT IS THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife who is an Ex police officer turned down the white womens group AT DFUPONT, because they would not allow the white males a group.
the BLACKS can wear their(NATIVE colors)and their Malcolm X apparel, but she was told she could not wear ANYTHING (even her motorcycle helment) with a Rebel Flag or any DIXIE connations. IS that RACIST or what.

I don't think that I'm a racist either but I guess that what I say may piss a few people off. I'm with Hoss on this. Why is it that black folks can have Black Entertainment TV and Miss Black pagents and all of their other "black only" groups, as well as other obviously ethnic people and their groups (we have plenty of Chinese, Middle easterns and Asians social groups in Canada), but as soon as some would dare to have a white only group they are called racists. Hoss is right on this one. Sorry if I have offended anyone but it can't be denyed. I agree. It's just more racism except it's pointed at whites. It's a joke. Affirmative action and any program that cators to a group of people based on race is racist. It's complete bullshit. It's offensive to white AND black people. It's all about the best person for the job and not what continent your great, great, great, great, great, great, granparents were from. American is American and racial serperation should be beyond us. This country was founded by a bunch or radicals who believed in freedom. If you want to be racist (white or black) get the **** out of here.

I think it's offensive to people to award them something like"Miss Black America" because it's treating them like being black is a handicap.WHY is the fact that someone is the first Afro American to do something a special acheivement?That's like saying"you're not as good as everyone else but you still did it".It's as if being black was a handicap.Isn't it amazing that when 4 out of 5 guys on a basketball court are black it's because"they were chosen because they were the best"yet when 4 out of 5 basketball coaches are white it's a"racist conspiracy"......

I Hate when one fellow American talks shit about another fellow American. Doesn't matter what color, race, age or sexual orientation it is. We have enough anti-American assholes out there who'd kill any one of us just because we're Americans. Remember this day depicted in this pic? This is by far one of the worst days in American history. Caused by non-Americans, NOT Americans.

When y'all start talkin shit about fellow Americans, just remember wtf happened less than two years ago. So, instead of choosing to direct your hatred toward Americans, whether or not you agree with their philosophies, think about these assholes who would love to see you dead because of the "Red, white and blue". I must admit I do agree with the thinking of some fellow board members, but, that's what makes the U.S.A what it is. If ya don't like what I say, KMAMF!!! You need more pics to convince you?

Get on a full train to go home, lots of people old enough to know better are taking up two seats - one for them, and one for a back pack big enough to hike Yosemite for a week. Ask if you can sit down, they look at you like you're dissing their space..

Now I can see that you didn't read what I wrote HOSS, because like I said I do agree with to a point. There are people like that in all races, but you decided to choose one groug and blast them. Why not just say PEOPLE that make you sick but instead you choose one race of people. Now what really ****s me up is that you choose a boating forum to air your feelings about blacks. Now you have black friends, so what......I have white friends. I don't have a problem with white people having there groups or forums just as blacks having theirs. If you ask me, the KKK is racist, just like I also believe that most black muslim groups are racist. Now understand this " I have no problem with any race of people, I get along with anyone. Its get bad with the person attitude and thats where the problem starts ". Hoss, like I said, those are your opinions of the people you have been around. Im here on this forum for boating info and meeting people, not to discuss racism! So just to end this, I will appoligize to you for that may have crossed you the wrong way .

I seen a commercial the other day and it was an anti marjuana commercial. The commercial stated "1 out of 3 people convicted for wreckless driving that were tested for drugs tested positive for marijuana." "Marijuana, just how harmless is it?"
Okay I can tell you first hand I was copnvicted of wreckless driving and even went to jail for it. I was not tested for drugs because I was clearly not under the influence. Just how many people get tested out of those are convicted? I bet you maybe 1/4.

Well just read your post aquaboogie1. Yeah I read your post alright. If you don`t think I`m a racist and your not one either then my post should not have offended you. I am not picking a boat forum to air my feelings. It was just thrown out there. I really don`t care if you like me or not, if you feel that I`m a racist or not(cause to an extent I am). Apologize for what? No need to me. What you say or do has absolutely no bearing in my life whatsoever. But if you come to this site often you would know that I like controversy. Thanks for the arguement. And just to let you know, your apology was weak and very conflicting with your reply. I think we are alot alike. You felt offended as I would have had it been opposite. You stood ground as I would have. You have your views as I have. I didn`t direct anything towards you yet you tried to make it out that I did. WRONG answer. I never said all black people. Do you fall into the catagory listed? If so then yes , I HATE YOU! If not then why blow it up into something its not? What I typed is not a thorn in my side in daily life. I think youre reading too damn much into it.
A black friend ( I don`t even know if black offends you or should I say African American?, white people are damn if we do and damned if we don`t on this one cause it aint never right) of mine is from North carolina. Been here about 5 years now and still complains about how Brothers and Sisters down here act. So when you read look where I`m from thats my referral. But as you see ANYTHING a white person says is and will be scrutinized as racist by all ethnic groups. We are constantly under the microscope. So that is why whitey wants whitey clubs and whitey gatheings because daily life with other groups is percieved as lets face it TOO DAMN MUCH WORK. Why be ****in botherred when we don`t have to.
Now I didn`t know this would become a huge ****ing deal but it has because the brotha had to make a stink about nothing instead of laughing about the bullshit it was meant to be. Cause after all this is a boat forum not an "underfire" chat room. But you did what I would have expected from you and caused a racial problem. And for what? To voice your opinion loudly.
But I think I would have played along first then stood on my podium second. Be cool dude and don`t read too damn much into this. Cause I haven`t lost a wink. wink

The problem with racial stereotypes is that there are some truth to it. A black friend of mine couldn't stand the "city niggers"(his words, not mine)because he felt they were all gang bangers. Houston has a really bad reputation for its black community. I have rarely been there when the service in the stores would get as good as lousy from the black workers. My SIL lives in NM and the Hispanics in some parts of the state are hard working, upstanding citizens and in other parts, lazy and worthless.
The biggest problem that I see is when the locals are so against "the man" that they turn a blind eye to the bums among them. If you look at the people that made it from poverty and/or are well respected, you will usually find one or more parents that didn't take nonsense from the kids.

Also the "Express" line anywhere, at the grocery store it's the only line that takes forever, you have the checker doing everything, why noy have a bagger there to help out, then you have the dumbshit that has too many items and has to ask if it's ok with everyone if they still check out, AFTER they have unloaded the f ing cart, then to top it off they cant use the ATM, either they don't know how or the card is f'd up, so they pull out the check book, in the goddamn CASH only line, and pull out the coupons to boot.

No different then the way Americans have Bastardized the english language. You think Wassup Sucka was something that our forefathers used? I don't think so. With the current rate of hispanic growth in the U.S. you can pretty much count on Spanglish becoming the norm. Times change and so does modern vocabulary. Not much you can do about that.
I can also assure you that if you moved to somewhere like Germany or Russia and even knew how to speak the language if you were having a conversation with one of your english speaking friends in public you would speak english just because that is the language you feel most comfortable speaking.

If i were to go to a foreign country i would have to learn the language to survive, learn english, use the Spanglish around friends and family but at work use the english, this goes for schools too, why should spanish speakers be allowed to take spanish classes, it's a seemingly easy grade, my girls don't take english speaking only classes! More money wasted in the schools, and that brings me to DMV, why in the world do we have to translate every manual or instruction booklet into every known language on the face of the earth, why not do the same with every road , freeway, stop, and traffic sign out there, hey if we're gonna waste money lets do it right!!
My mini rant of the day!!!

My mini rant of the day!!! Its part of the California constitution
When we took Cali from Mexico it was part of the stipulation the all government forms and doc would be in Spanish to keep the Spanish people informed on government issues
At one point Cali had mostly Spanish speaking people and it was port of Mexico and had Mexican citizens

Mike , that was what worked , back then, life here has changed, there are more people here, legal and illegal, the primary language here is ENGLISH, where as just south of us the prmary spoken language is Spanish, if the constitution of Ca. deems it necessary to print every govt. doc. in spanish, fine no problem, my problem is that instead of educating the the non english speaking masses we baby them instead of encouraging/forcing them to learn the primary spoken language of the region.
