Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cali Gov?

Arnold will make a great Governor in my opinion. I can relate to Arnold and think he is a descent person and not going to be intimidated by anyone and cave into political pressures and special interests.

It might well be an uphill battle for him, but I think that is a shame. He had promiscuous sex, did steroids, smoked pot, but frankly I dont believe he is ashamed of a single thing he has done in his life. He is a positive minded person and is probably more of a "real human" than most of the politicians who are practically living a lie, since the 90s and onward it seems we have been seeing the more honest side of politics when we find out of the secret lives of people from the president on down.

I like Arnolds attitude, dont know much more I could say on that.

If I have to go back east and hear more of those comments about ignorant and uppity "nigg__s" I am going to start getting a little peeved. It is one thing to point out if a man is an asshole, or truly ignorant, it is completely another to point out every single man of color and without even knowing him call him lazy or lacking brain power simply because of a persons skin color or heritage.

Call me a gun rights activist, because I'd love to shoot those people.

I have lived in the South all my life - well Florida is not really "the south" from a social structure perspective though. Any way, I have never seen any of what you describe. Race has not been an issue in the Central Florida area. There is some "quiet" concern that a lot of the "hispanic commmunity" from south florida is moving northward to escape the crime, drugs and high costs - but that is the extend of any race issues I have heard.

I spent time in Virginia, and of course was in and out of DC a little. I was told Baltimore was much worse, "dirty hellhole" or something like that, anywho I heard the N word frequently through each day.

My dad is an old fashioned country boy, and yet even he had black friends as a kid. He was not taught to hate from his parents. Its a bit of a culture clash for me with the way alot of youth act today, but nowdays at least where I live that is not color dependant.

No offense but Florida really isn't considered "the South." Try going to Texas, Mississippi, the Midwest, and u will hear the N word." By the way, I've been to Florida.nice place

We have had more people move out than in over the last couple years, and I have SEEN and known people that have left, litterally to any other state. WA, OR, AZ and NV most commonly. Lots of people are leaving and I've considered it myself.

Spending time in racist Virginia, they didn't see how I could stand living here. I wouldn't mind leaving, the expense of living here sucks, and plenty of tech companies have been moving or starting up elsewhere too.

So you are thinking about leaving huh? Where are you thinking of relocating?

Canada, Sonora Mexico, Oregon, or Nevada/Arizona, in no particular order. I really though am not sure that I want to leave the states just yet. Partly family reasons, partly because I dont want to leave road racing behind.

 

[oaktownboy]

what's this road racing you speak of?

 

[Mudge]

You pay to drive on a closed circuit track, www.thunderhill.com , www.infineonraceway.com , www.laguna-seca.com , www.buttonwillowraceway.com , www.californiaspeedway.com and so on. I run with a group of guys driving mixed marque cars, from cheap mobiles to the occasional Ferrari or even a GT-2 carbon fiber bodied 996, Vipers, and etc. I have a modded 94 Z28 but without a doubt my favorite track car is now my 73 240Z. Kevin Buckler is even part of the group although I have never seen him on track, he won last years GT Le Mans. Kevin runs a shop for Porsches,- http://www.racersgroup.com/ and there is also www.devek.net but the Porsches are way out of my price range, even a 914 once modded gets very pricey if you want to make more than a piddling 55 RWHP.

i sm only familiar with infineon because that's where they have NASCAR Busch and Winston Cup races.What a weird track! I think it's kind of interesting. It not like all the other oval tracks.It's what they call a racer's track I believe. I can't remember if that's the exact phrase. So you race huh?Is this for money or for fun?

 

[oaktownboy]

oh yeah California Motor Speedway in Fontana, but's that by L.A. And I really don't like southern california that much because they drain our money among other things

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt but the prior adolescent behavior strongly suggested that you would be consistent in this regard.

Welcome to my iggy list kid.

Iggy Pop right?

I've been to pretty much every state with the exception of Maine and Utah... and I dont recall hearing the N word alot. Perhaps I just wasnt hanging with the right company though... so I'm not sure. I actually head the N word alot more in the military than in civilian life, and it was never said by a caucasion person. It got to the point where I had to ask people to stop using it cause it was offending me Oh, and I'm dead serious.

But I'm moving to VA in a couple days... so I'll be able to see it from the inside and perhaps will get a different story. That'd be too bad.

As you would see by clicking on my profile, I am gonna be 22 in 3 days. Can you believe that he was actually jailed for his lyrics, that was the first and only time in the history of the music industry that this happened (someone correct me if I am wrong). This motha Fucka is SOO thugged out that they take the shit he raps about seriously, he actually does that shit, he ain't no studio gangsta. He has kept it gangsta for 2 decades now, he has over 15 records out, I love it. C-Bo is one of my top 3 favorite artists, You should know bout the Bo Locc Oak, representin Sac-town to tha fullest.

It expresses the sentiment that I just don't give a fuck

 

[Mudge]

Ahh, like Eminem, I just dont give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I have to say that I do give a fuck about many things, and for those that I dont, I wing it, I dont stick a finger at people or my problems.

 

[Eggs]

If he didnt give a fuck, why did he feel the need to tell everyone that he didnt give a fuck?

Impress us with his resolution to "not give a fuckness?"

I just thought that I might be too young to remember him, that's all.I'm only 18 so I definetly remember Pac, Dre. and Snoop, but some of the others might have been around when I was 10 or below that.

Yep, everyone knows how to complain, but do you know how to solve problems?

I think that you guys are taking it a little too serious, it is just there b/c I love Pac and it is a phat pic, don't think too hard about it. By the way I am pretty crafty at solving problems, why do you have one?

I didn't feel the need, he asked me.

Ah, wasnt talking about you gr81, was referring to Tupac. But I've gotta end it with that, its not good to poke fun at the dead... whether one agrees with what they stood for or not.

 

[gr81]

I don't know if you are talking about me b/c I am not poking fun at Pac, He is my idol, and I agree passionately with most of what he stood for, believe that
