Title: My pledge as an American .
Post by: J.D. on July 25, 2005, 07:36:08 PM
Tody I stopped at a local gas station in West Palm and went in for a 6 pack of Beer and a box of Black&Mild . As I was standing at the counter , I overheard some of the 3 middle eastern employees conversation . The employees kept refering to the Bank Of Pakistan and I increasingly became more aggrivated . I will no longer use these establishments for anything other than fuel , I will miss the convience but I will adjust . I am sorry if I offend some people but I am now steadfast to my decision . I may be right or wrong but I dont care ! I will spend my money at Publix or somwhere it is not right in front of my face .

Man , I have always been an easy going country boy, I have never been mad at black people , chinese people , or anybody else in general . Now I come haome and I see all the news about Britain and it scares that maybe one of these days it could be my wife and children in a line at a local shopping center when one of these freaks decides it is time for his 72 virgins . Some of these middle east guys " like the one at SUNOCO " off Gatlin I really like . Maybe this is just the first time in my life I have felt kind of helpless and I DONT LIKE IT ! I just dont know what I can personally do , so I am willing to try things that might not work if if could possibly help at all . Ya'll are the largest group of freinds I have ever personally had so I discuss these things with you . I have never been a violent person , I have made it 33 years without ever being in a fight , But I feel more hate for these people every day I come home to see their latest acts of destruction and it makes me burn in ways I never have . I just dont know . I dont want to argue , I' just looking for advise other than what the media tells me I should do . Thata what freiinds are for .....right  ?

i agree with j.d. you have these people that come into this country to work, get all these freebies from us and then they pay us back by sending the money out of the country instead of spending it here. i hear about it all the time. i always wondered  why these guys all owned gas stations and convenient stores. hey i'm cuban by birth but american by the grace of god, do i qualify for a free gas station.

It's natural to feel this way especially after 9/11, but the reality is that so many upstanding American's invest offshore. Money doesn't discriminate and can get to the terrorist even if you go to Publix. If you feel uncomfortable at that convenience store because of the way the owners/employees act than don't shop there. It's best way in America to have your voice heard.

You brought it up you post the link to US offering Pakistanis 50% off 7-11s and pay no kind of taxes for x amount of years. Or tell your aunt to she deals with it daily.

I dont want to start a verbal brawl within our group , I was wondering how many people are starting to feel the way I do now . The Backpack Gang will show their  ;D faces our our streets before long and I cant stand just sitting here waiting . Why isn't more being done to directly target the people who are more likely to do it than others ," do we have to be so pollitically correct " I heard a Black comedian say something that struck me kind of funny , he said " If a bank gets robbed and the getaway car is a Caddy with spinners , you might want to look for a couple brothers . If a Black guy gets beaten up in Kentucky you might want to look for a bunch of white boys in a pick up truck " Then he said some thing like ACHMED ..it's your turn . Where did all the little MOM&POP stores go anyway ?

I think your getting paranoid, to be frank. Turn off the NEWS! :)


The comedian is wrong. Mom and Pop stores are gone because of Wal-Mart and us shopping there and our need of lower prices.

Agreed.  Gun control is being able to hit your target(s).  Terrorist or crackhead, my bullets don't see color.

Devildog55 -- let us know if you need more bullets and we'll take up a collection for you and your friends.  Keep up the good work!

With Convenience Stores it would seem so, but who else wants the job? Long, long hours, good chance of being shot or killed and terrible pay. If having a Pakistani or other Middle Eastern is the only way to have a store open 24 hours for me, then so be it. They're business owners and pay their taxes which is more than what I can for some people I know. I understand your point J.D., but this is America and we are a melting pot whether we like it or not. We can't go back to the good old days, we have to advance, to stay ahead, remain the strongest country in the world and that means there are going to be some things we don't like. That's life :)

I know it may seem like all convenience stores are run by middle easterners, but there are plenty of exceptions.  I operate a chain in S. Florida (Town Star Food Stores) and we are 100% American owned.  Both me and my partner are from South Florida.  We bank with the local banks in our communities such as Okeechobee, Belle Glade, Port St. Lucie & Frostproof. 

It is difficult to compete with the "New Americans" sometimes when they have a different view of how to deal with paying taxes, comply with labor laws, etc. but we do our best to stay competative and offer a quality product at a fair price.  Like J.D. has done, find a store you are comfortable with and continue to enjoy the convenience.

I have been to a couple bait shop/convenient stores and had some good old boy just stand around and talk on his nextel why I am waiting to buy some beef jerky and minnows. It is agravating, but I don't go to those places anymore. They obviously don't need my money. 

Also, I doubt there are alot of hard working Pakies at Cirlce K's with undercover AlQueada membership.

If the government could get there head out of there
a?? once in a while they could have prevented alot of this terrorism. Always trying to fix there screw ups after the fact.

They like to spend our hard earned tax dollars on a bunch of crap like space exloration etc.  I say put up a friggin wall and don't let know one else in!

  Sorry I'm to lazy for spell check, anyway my aunt being a title closer for some of these dealings such as gas stations - motels, she runs all the final papers for the closings and for some reason most arab buyers are paying with U.S. GOVERNMENT checks and having no closing taxes, so after closing many of these accounts over the years she check into it. She found out through realiable sources every thing that I have been saying, that you arabs receive grants the grants are offer to as a goodwill jesture called back scratching ''help us with oil we give your people grants''. I also heard from my aunt they receive tax exceptions for up to 10 years. I did't beleive it either until a friend of mine sold picnic tables to a store own by an arab. he gave him the bill and the guy freak out over the tax and said WE DON'T PAY ANY TAXES WE EXCEPT. listen furbro I DON'T BULL $HIT SO DO EVER SUGGEST THAT AGAIN. I do my home work, seems like a lot of you guys on the site keep your head in the ground, except for ROB1RIDE.anyway politics is to touchy of a subject I don't lose any friends, 90% of ya are great.  So piece out don't let the dirt hit ya in the face brrrrrr upp!
