Jacquie Lawson e-cards are beautiful and getting better and better. But I still prefer cards via snail mail.

Re C.U.N.. not funny, not interesting.

Biff, tell the people to take the shakedown money that they got from you and use it to buy their own kids stuff.
What’s going on over there?

DIBS, I have a nice big half sour BK Brine Pickle which I’ll go get as I read up on the action

“Also, people that post on old topics an hour after they were discussed are *really* annoying.”

my response… from the other thread

“Region Is Reshaped as Minorities Go to Suburbs”

reverse white flight

section 8

yuppie / golden girls /moonface infestation into the inner cities

minorities looking for better schools and a better life (tho that doesnt seem to be happening because of the lack of resources in the suburbs to deal with the bad few. it only takes a few bad houses on a block to make a neighborhood shitty)

and please note, there have ALWAYS been a large population of minorities in the NYC inner ring suburbs and for the most part that have always been super stable communities. Most of Hudson County has for sooooo long always had a huge hispanic population and has always been a great place to live. They didn’t move in from the projects tho.. problems only occur when projects are dismantled and people in them are given section 8 vouchers to move to the suburbs. it’s not PC to say, but people in the projects while mostly hard working people, still have a ton of bad apples that wreck havoc on one stable non inner city suburban communities, as they do not have the resources to deal with the few bad apples. it’s bit of urban UNrenewal where a lot of cities seem to think, eh, let’s kick them out all out so molly and jake can live a perfect snowflake life. barf. So, you can still see how racism really does rear it’s ugly head and just how segregated people are.
