the scared white guy has found another term to spread his racist attitude

This point shouldn't be lost. American cities were often dirty, racist, classist places where lots of horrific things took place. I can understand the movement to suburbanize. However, instead of improving the conditions in our central cities...white people packed up, abandoned them and destroyed w...

the book had all sorts of facts. i think he concluded that it's possible to change the way things are in the political world by one carefully placed assassin. he didn't go into lincoln or even the archduke that much. he did go into some of the ethnic genocide, but not a whole lot. he did delve into ...

finished reading wolves, jackals and foxes: the assassins who changed history. by kris hollington. a decent book. it's broke down into 36 chapters. he tells you about different assassinations and attempts. names names and lays out who the target was, why he was a target and who was doing the targeti...

expat refers to one who is living in another country.

Is this a natural evolution everywhere or is KC more plagued by this clubs-devolving-into-stupidity problem? I guess most clubs have a short lifecycle but I was hopeful when NV popped up and seemed to be sleek and classy. I'm not much of a club-goer but I know this is an amenity that is an importan...

i rather do without than live in any soviet style society.

great thread.  we haven't had many neighborhood threads of KC in a while.  it's nice to get an expat's perspective.  incorrect use of the term. he is actually just a former resident and not an expat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriate what egg are you referring to with the pic of grinders?

two chapters into Silas Marner: The Weaver of Ravenloe (It's on the list of book I was supposed to read before college that I have changed to "List of Books to read before Dead") Pretty good so far, female writers of the 19th century have a certain insight you don't find anymore, especial...

yea, why would you put produce on a train for 10 blocks and then offload it to trucks for another ten blocks? But it's funny what people will tell you on the streets. That train also ran in the middle of the day and it was always amusing to watch it cross busy 20th Street and freak people out. They...

You have to give Herm credit for guts. He made the decision to get rid of the vetrans like Trent Green, Casey Weigman, Eddie Kennison, Tony Richardson, etc because he decided it was time to rebuild. He decided not to bring in older free agents to replace Roaf and Shields. Thinking that if you were ...

finished the forgotten 500 by gregory a. freeman this morning. it's about operation halyard, which was the name of the plan by the oss to rescue hundreds of downed airmen who got shot out of their bombers while on bombings runs to the oil fields of ploesti. it's also about how the communists were ab...

let's discuss who the new coach will be?

wow. you guys are still at it. this is frikkin' hilarious. he delights in yanking your chains and i delight in watching you guys dance like the puppets you are.

carry on.....

just finished a bio of henry knox by mark puls. knox was a big part of the continental army in the revolutionary war. he was a general, washington's aide, head of artillery for the confederation of states during the war, head engineer for the army and a whole lot of other stuff. he was also a fat gu...

Herm Edwards: 'I let my work speak for itself'.

it really doesn't matter which QB the chiefs had/could get/drafted etc. they could of had peyton and eli and tom and big ben and they still wouldn't of won a playoff game because it's quite obvious that carl doesn't know how to pick winning coaches.

stop defending yourselves from things you haven't done. it's sad and unbecoming.

The point is there is no effort to detach privileged whites from his/her automobile even when it's subsidized by the city. Cosentino's and orientation towards the parking garage is reinforcing racist norms and suburban perceptions. I pray there is a charge for that parking. and the point of your po...
