    Hey, I got to put my 2 weeks notice in today! And as much as I want to help, there’s a reason I don’t want to be here, other than the prospect of pure bliss from the next job, and when I describe this, I hope no one takes offense…

    I am the minority at this store. The last time I saw this many black people I was watching Man on Fire. I mean, I don’t know why, but I’m really uncomfortable. Maybe it’s the stories I’ve heard from this store — like, cars being stolen out of the parking lot in broad daylight. Jeez, man, I just want to go home now. And I have to be back tomorrow, too…

    I am offended, the word “broad” is like a dagger in my heart you insensitive bastard. Women are people too sometimes.

    I don’t know if a congratulations is in order but congrats! I almost done serving my 2 weeks “sentence”, got 5 more days to go. And for your comments, I am fine. 6 months ago when I moved to NC to work, I have met and worked with alot of black people unlike when I was in NY. And what I see, that alot of these black people here in southeastern NC that I work with, are dumb, maybe its an issue of lack of education. I am not making jokes or being a racist. The stuff that I have seen is unbelieveable.

    I hold true to my earlier statements about racism — I know I’m not racist, because to me, that means you prefer one race over the others. Since I think a lot of white people are just as bad if not worse than the others, it’d be impossible to call me a racist.

    That being said, there’s not a whole lot of familiarity there, and it’s one thing to have 1/3, or even 1/2, but a good 9/10? Yeah, I really feel like the odd man out.

    I don’t see your comments as racist dude, like you say it’s about lack of education a lot of the time. And that goes back to culture, not race.

    It’s scientifically illiterate to say that one race is smarter or stupider than another, but not even arguable that certain cultures nurture and breed higher levels of intelligence. There’s probably never been a culture in history that can compete with Japan’s intellectual superiority and it’s not because of genes, it’s because in those terms their culture is the strongest on the planet. It inevitably comes back to discipline, which feeds into and out of mental strength, and for the most part those crazy nips kick our flabby western asses.

    Where it gets blurry is that while race doesn’t determine potential, culture does determine the chance of fulfilling that potential, and race often determines culture. Therefore, albeit indirectly, race affects potential.

    Whatever, good shit Rob, you’ve been bummed out in that job for ages. The same kind of crap happened to my best mate, he got fucked around, promised things that would never eventuate, basically mentally abused by his boss. Finally, after hanging in for too long, he quit and got picked up for more money doing better work and since then his old company has gone to shit, only a quarter the size it was while he kept it afloat. And because his mental state and self-esteem has improved out of sight his health’s improved because he’s more motivated to look after himself, cut out eating so much crap and get sweating more often. It sickens me, he’s like a living cheesy motivational commercial.

    Yeah, but you’d have to spread me around ten or eleven cookies!

    And Bucho, thanks for the kind words. I guess we’ll see how good this ends up being. If the last few days are any indication, this is gonna be some good shit.
