When she was still alive My Grandma lived with My Mother and I would visit them every week to drink shots with Grandma. (She was 86. A short, stout, full-blooded German woman with a loud mouth and fun as hell to drink with and she showed affection by Ball-Busting.)
So I got to the house and there was Grandma at the kitchen table with a bottle of the cheapest rotgut whiskey that you could buy (It still f*cked you up though). Mom was cooking dinner for the family.
I went to the cupboard to get a shotglass and a chaser glass and saw that one of the chaser glasses had a crack in it. So I said to My Mother, "Ma, you gotta throw this glass away."
My Mother asked why and I replied, "Cuz' it has a crack in it."
That's when Grandma looked over at Me and downed her shot and her water chaser and said... "Hmph.. You had a crack in your ass when you were born and we didn't get to throw you away."

This is how the American Legend came to be... From the day he was born he was a badass. This video has some classic Iron Maiden riffs which I am sure made his Martial Arts training even sharper... An army of ninjas... A single look from him would vaporize them. Chuck Norris' is a symbol of American Badassism. I also know he wouldn't sell out like that caped idiot Superman.

Here is a video that I do not find shocking. While a majority of people are outraged at such a sight they don't consider the fact that different beliefs have different rituals which could be barbaric to one person and completely the norm to another. It is obvious that the infants in the video could be harmed or killed as they are lofted towards the ground but take into consideration that this culture believes in reincarnation and if that were to happen then it was meant to be. You can see from the adulation and adoration on the peoples' faces that they are not trying to harm the child and if the child survives it means that the hand of their God (Gods) have spared it and the child is blessed. Some cultures beliefs include the handling of rattlesnakes to be closer to God while others yet believe that pouring holy water on the head of an infant by a holy man will gain them entrance into their Heaven (and if you interpret the Latin in an Orthodox Catholic bap ...

Unfortunately unless the world becomes miscegenated there will always be hatred for any differences that one might have. If you hate a whole race based on an individuals actions then you are not only missing out on a wealth of information passed on by generations of wisdom... you also breed ignorance.
I was speaking with a beautiful black woman one time who said that white people are trying to be like them and I asked her how she came to this conclusion. She said that we listen to their music and speak in an urbanesque way... and that we tan just to get that beautiful brown color.... I agreed and flipped the script by telling her that black people are trying to be like whites as well... She asked Me for an example... I said ... Umm ... Your hair... I don't think you're a natural blonde... and with that said we laughed.
If I hated this woman based on th ... Read more ...
Ahhh.. The 1970's.... Back in those days Mom walked into your room and had a talk with you and it never got to the point where you threw your pillows at her and covered your head with a sheet screaming "GET OUT GET OUT !!!! as you lied there humiliated with your pole in your hands and a bellybutton full of spooge.
