Beetles day

I did ride my -73 Beetle to work today (I have driven it every day last two weeks now.)

So did I... '73 and about 2 weeks now... it's scary... :)

Roger

I am what, 6000 miles away from mine. Bah.

Jan

real question is, have you had luck finding a job to drive any car too yet? hope so...

Away from your work or away from your -73 beetle?

I'm self employed, my commute to work in the morning is about 30 feet. However I did drive the Sturmkaefer to the post office and out on one other errand today.

Tony

No job.

Driving an 87 Cherokee.

Right into some mexican girl's rear corner, busting her tail light, and denting the metal real good. Just yesterday. Ohh poop.

20 years on the road without a single accident. I guess it was about time. Naturally, just over a month after arriving to this zoo.

Jan

6000 miles Away from my (wife's) 68 beetle, and lightyears away from getting a damn job.

Jan

LOL...i'd compare you to millions of other imigrants that plague our roads daily, but i won't because you speak English....

Aren't you Americans a country of immigrants

Jo=E3o

Aren't you Americans a country of immigrants

João

hehe...now that you mention it.....

:D

Mil gracias, jefe ;)

Jan

Any native americans reading this say "how" :P

Jan

I understand that if you pretend to know nothing but Spanish, there are lots of jobs.

On the argument that the US is a country of immigrants, I say Phooey.

I did not migrate here from anywhere. I was Born here. How would that make me an immigrant? I'm guessing there was a time when almost all of the earth's inhabitable areas were empty and beings migrated to them due to that factor. I am NATIVE to the US. My nacestry goes back to scotland somewhere , but I have never been outside the US. NOT ONCE in my life.

..............Spain stole Texas from the Indians. The Mexicans stole it from the Spanish.You guys stole it from the Mexicans. The USA stole it from you guys. Us Yankees kept you guys from taking it back during the Civil War. Now, the Mexicans are taking it back all over again.

History is entertaining unless you're the one that's losing!

Actually the Mexican state of Tejas broke away from Mexico by winning a civil war. Later the Republic of Texas joined the United States of America and traded in their war debt for political power. Along with the deal, the USA got New Mexico and Arizona. That's the short version and nobody stole anything from Mexico.

Tony

.............You'd have a real tough time finding any Mexicans who agree with your civil war theory of what happened in 1836.

.......Not one of the killed or wounded Tejas rebels at the Battle of San Jacinto had a Hispanic surname. Every single one of them was an emigrant from the USA.

The former US citizens agreed to take on Mexican citizenship when accepting land in Tejas. Also there was a large group of Mexican nationalist that fought along with the rebelling emigrants. whether or not you accept it, Tejas broke away from Mexico in a civil war and stood on their own for a number of years before joining the union.

Tony

I still don't rightly care what the history of it is. I was born here, as were my parents and their parents..............Now before that I am unsure, and don't rightly care 'bout that either. I am NATIVE to my land and country. Anyone have a hard time seeing things that way unto their own situation? I am not looking to take anything from anyone. I don't owe anyone anything I have. I worked hard for what I have.

I am not bound to posession as much as that either. But, until it is found that one power takes the land from another and calls it something new, and makes my land someone elses, I am here, and intend to stay here. If Mexico wants it, then let her have a go of it and let's get this possession thing taken care of and get back to living.

I suspect that Mexico doesn't want it, doesn't claim it, and loves the fact that the tax payers here are willing to keep subsidizing their economy. It's really not that hard to understand.

This whole "who it belongs to thing, is teh same as it's always been. Someone has it, others want it. Til the "others" try to take it, it will saty that way. If they decide to try and take it and succeed, then they will be the ones who lose it next, when someone bigger and stronger takes it from them. Caveman crap.

Right now, the US seesm to be the biggest and baddest as far as strengths and technology are concerned, hence, the US is the one that has what they want. They don't have everything, as it wouldn;t do much to have all of it and all of the burden of alll of it. Although the US does bare more burden than any other country ever has or does now.

I'm stopping here........you guys kick each other around. If it comes to someone wanting to forceably take what I have, I will have to consider whether it is important enough to fight for it or not.

Later, Scott, A UNITED STATES NATIVE
