Churros and enchiladas for everyone!!!
That’s a lot of lawn cutters, roofers, and dishwashers.

Cameron Diaz is “Hispanic”. Emilio Estevez and his dad,Martin Sheen, are Hispanic. Louis CK is Hispanic.
They’re also experiencing a huge increase in violent and other crime.
Wonder if there is any relationship involved here?
When EBT cards, school breakfast and lunch service, free medical coverage, free childcare, housing 8 and in general the “California free ride” ends, that’s when you will see a dramatic change in race population count.
The water will run out before the EBT cards. Then California will have its third world meltdown. In my travels throughout the state working for FedEx I find most Hispanics to be nice especially the pretty Mexican girls but it is a different culture and language. Also when I am around Mexicans I don’t have to be armed .When I am around blacks I am armed all the time.There are differences between black culture vs Hispanic culture. I personally would much rather be around Hispanics.
Right at this very moment in time the Mexican crew is putting down the asphalt on our brand new driveway.
Two days ago, when they were digging up the old driveway, I put out a case of bottled water and a large bag of ice. You would have thought I gave them a gold watch, they were so appreciative. At lunch time they sat down on the grass in the front yard. I would have none of that. I took them to the back deck and told them to relax there as long as they wanted. Then I brought back an extra-large Philly Cheese-steak pizza. This morning I brought them a dozen assorted pastries from the local bakery. Unlike YOU fuckers … these folks treat me like God!!
Really, a very very nice crew. None of them speak much English, and I speak no Spanish, yet we had a good time joking around this morning, somehow.
@Stucky, isn’t it AMAZING how far common human decency gets a person these days?
I find that by just being myself, at least the self/image I’ve created for society, I get better service than most everyone else.
It isn’t because I’m scary, or rude, or rich, or beautiful, but, it is because I am continuing on the “archaic” tradition of treating others like I want to be treated.
I don’t want others in my bedroom/pants, so I would NEVER presume to ask others something personal enough where I would not do business with them. Black, gay, alien, doesn’t matter if their cash is as green, or their business as good, as a caucasian native.
I want others to smile, pay attention to me, be polite and if I’m paying them, actually do the job, I’ve found that just being attentive and polite to others gets them to be that way to me.
We have become one of the rudest, most self-centered, most obnoxious, societies of people that have ever existed. I am hard pressed to find another to even compare us to.
While making me feel awful special, and making me awful proud, it is actually very sad how often my daughter is complimented in public for behaving like she is expected to. She gets free deserts, extra drinks, extra toys and lots of attention at many restaurants we go to. All because she is expected, no strike that, required, to say “please,” “thank you,” and address adults as “ma’am” or “sir.” The last time we were at a laser tag place the manager actually hunted me down to tell me what a pleasure helping my daughter was.
Thank you Stuck for continuing the old ways of decency and caring for humans. Even Spanish speaking day-laborers, or snot/candy covered minimum-wage clerks, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Exactly when did we stop teaching our children to treat others “as they wish to be treated” and started teaching our children to be on the constant lookout for feelings of wounded self?
Everyone in this country seems to walk around with a chip on their shoulder just waiting for someone to make a mistake so they can blast into them and make them feel like crap.
Guess it is just a sign of how corrupted our own thoughts have become, we no longer look for, nor emulate, kindness and politeness and love, we walk around looking for a fight and then are shocked when we find it.
Violent crime up 26% in Los Angeles, LAPD chief says
By Richard Winton
March 24, 2015, 6:06 p.m.
Violent crime is up 26% and property crimes 11% in Los Angeles this year, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said Tuesday.
Overall, serious crime has climbed 14% in 2015 compared to the same period last year, Beck told the police commission.
He said crime levels this year are comparable to those in 2012. The increases in crime cut across all of the LAPD’s four bureaus with the largest jumps in the Central Bureau and the smallest in the Valley Bureau.
“Crime is up in every one of the bureaus,” Beck said.
The surge in recorded crime is driven in part by a spike in aggravated assaults. The jump in aggravated assaults began last year and has continued into the first three months of 2015.
Beck has attributed the rise to how LAPD classifies those crimes, an increase in domestic violence and alcohol-fueled street attacks.
The classification change came after a Times investigation last year found the department significantly understated the city’s true level of crime when it misclassified nearly 1,200 serious violent crimes as low-level offenses during a recent one-year period.
Assistant Chief Jorge Villegas said the increase is not just in aggravated assaults but also robberies, particularly in the central area of Los Angeles.
Some of the crime, he said, is connected with the skid row and homeless population fighting over territory.
The only silver lining for the department in 2015 is that after seeing a jump in homicides in February, killings are down 2% compared with 2014, according to Beck.
Beck also reported an additional 400 hit-and-runs compared with 2014 but traffic collisions involving pedestrians are down 6%.
Last year was the first year since 2003 that violent crime rose in L.A. Violent crime rose 14% in 2014.
15 million whites and 15 million Latinos?
That’s just 10% of the total population. What am I missing?
@wip, I believe that is just the LA area, not the entire state.
@Admin, no shit violent crime is up. 1- the powers that be NEED it up, else how could they convince us we need more cops, soldiers and government? and 2 – what else can people with few skills and no future be expected to do?
We shipped and regulated the jobs out of existence for a HUGE strata of our society, then we threw open the borders and invited MORE lowskilled in to drive down what few wages were left.
And our response of MORE regulation, MORE cost, MORE rules, for those even attempting to find a way to make a living outside the government/corporation quagmire, is only doubling down on it.
So, again, I ask, how could violent crime NOT increase?
No jobs, no hope, no self-respect and 13+ years of mandatory brainwashing that pretty immediately becomes clear to even the lowest of IQs amongst the graduates.
THIS is why the crackdown on natural cures, natural foods and anyone that attempts to find a way outside the paid-for science/political way.
Yes, today, when our grocery stores are full and SNAP cards doled out like candy (unless you are a struggling white young couple, then fuck you, go find a non-existent job), and the majority are unable to boil a pot of water without instructions, these rules and regulations are being ignored.
Just wait until after China delays our apple juice and mac n’ cheese to see how these crime numbers EXPLODE as millions of us ants are jailed and our food confiscated to continue to feed the damned grasshoppers.
I almost laugh when an intentionally clueless fool, especially a government paid/union fool, starts talking in fear about “exploding crime” rates.
No shit. Tools sit there with the pay and benefits of 3-10 of your comparably skilled employers (those that pay) and they wonder why crime and hatred are on the increase? Really?
It is going to get much worse before it could ever hope to get better. I’m beginning to believe I don’t have enough years left to ever see “better.” I can only pray my children get to see/live it.
California has 39 million people.
They also have 2.5 million blacks and 6 million Asians.
Like I said the other day, now that we Whites are the minority here in CA, when can we expect the free shit to start flowing? A SNAP card would sure be handy and it seems like everyone I’m in line behind at the grocery has one, and all my cell phone does is make/take calls….when can I expect my upgrade to a full-featured Obama phone?
One other question, next time a White person gets trampled in the knockout game by a gang of black thugs, can I now protest with a “White lives matter” banner. Or would that still be raycisst?

Stuck’s killin’ illegal immigrants a few at a time via time honored American traditions like high cholesterol, heart disease and obesity.
You’d be surprised at just how rare your generosity is Stucky. When doing concrete work for a living we would encounter people like you maybe three or four times each year out of hundreds of customers. To be fair, many were at work while we replaced their concrete. About once per year we encountered a home owner that pulled out all the stops and grilled ribeyes to order with all the fixin’s plus cold beer. My wife does the same for me when I work on our house!
What was the cause of the soft spot in your driveway Stuck?
Stucky was just buying favors. Not that there is anything wrong with treating hired help nice, but it does insure good work.
Win-win I say.
In fact the acronym TIPS stands for To Insure Prompt Service was typically paid BEFORE the meal.
For some reason it is now customer to pay after the meal.
Fuck auto correct. CUSTOM. Not Customer. FUCK
Stucky has always been a decent sort I ‘ ll bet. He just puts up a front of being an old grump. Not much patience for hipocrites.

America has changed so much in my lifetime. You know, what you describe wasn’t the case 50 years ago. When my dad arrived here he was a house-painter. Folks not giving at least liquid refreshment was the RARE EXCEPTION. One day he forgot his lunchbox, and was painting the exterior of a home in sweltering summer heat for ten hours and the homeowner wouldn’t even allow dad to get a drink from the faucet. (Dad later said the guy just HATED Germans.) Dad said he nearly collapsed from the thirst. Again, I remember this story because it was such a rare exception …. but, I never forgot it, and vowed to myself, even at my young age, to never treat a worker like that.

My friend, I do hate people …….. in GROUPS.
Mexicans, for example. I REALLY do hate that they come in this country illegally. We didn’t! I REALLY do hate that so many refuse to learn English that we now have that “Press 1 for English” BULLSHIT. Both my parents — neither of whom have a formal education beyond 6th grade — learned conversational English within a year or two, because they wanted to and respected the nation that gave them a new home. Why can’t the Mexicans?
But, I find it hard to hate INDIVIDUALS that I meet. I’m pretty sure my “driveway crew” had an illegal or two, and they didn’t speak English. The “Stucky” personna shoulda hated them. But the “Nick” character just could not. Hard to dislike very very hard working guys — much of the work, including ripping up the old driveway, was done by HAND — who were also friendly and courteous …. just a bunch of dudes trying to eke out a living, just like me.
Stucky, glad it was something simple like a stump. Oil tanks can end up involving the EPA and others if neighbors and do-gooders get involved.
My parents always did nice things for people they hired. They even left the garbage man, milk man and mailman a bottle of good whiskey each year. Like I said, the majority of the people we worked for were not home. Plenty of others offered but we politely refused. One thing we never did was use the customers bathroom. For one thing, some co-workers were more than shady and I wouldn’t let them in my house let alone a customer home. Another thing is a handful of homeowners had been robbed of jewelry or drugs or simply claimed they were shortly after a worker used their bathroom so the boss made it a standing rule not to be in the customers house unless he was there.
I don’t hate people for coming here illegally. I hate our despotic govt for not enforcing the reasonable and well thought out laws regarding immigration. In my opinion this harms the country, citizens and the immigrants while still generating profits for the bankers, taxes for the govt and voters for the politicians. If it weren’t for immigration I wouldn’t be here and the truth is that if I were a beaner living in shithole Mexico, I’d come here too.
I put up the Gabriel Iglesias interview because while George Lopez can make voices like my age group, Gabriel speaks like my own kids. George Lopez was fresh after a dry spell that followed Cheech Marin and Paul Rodriguez but he was still doing the Mexican wetback routine. Gabriel bypasses all that and speaks to second and third generation Hispanics who no longer speak or understand Spanish and only know churros as a treat sold at Universal Studios for $3.00. Damn, we used to buy those things outside the theater in Juarez for 20 centavos – 2.5 cents American. They were considered cheap and the name churro came to signify a crappy movie like Mars Attacks.

Hispanic, like White or Black, is a general term. Cameron is Cuban and Charlie Sheen is Spanish/Irish. We probably could use a new classification (like Non-Hispanic White) to categorize Non-Mexican Hispanic such as Spanish, Guamanian, Filipino, or Central and South American.
