    Of how the anonymous is just describes the key word of Coward. Seeing as how black people and latinos are both the largest growing populations in the U.S, it won't be long until people like this are out and out culled for elimination from the human populace. Biological rejects have been here on /. for awhile, but this is the first time I've seen biological waste here, ever...

      No, it's called population growth. Soon enough, the amount of Black voters will outnumber the amount of white voters, and buy that time the Latino population in the United States will outnumber them both. So in the end, the U.S. will become dominated politically by the "minorities" it once tried to dominate. It's a nice future.

    Stupid fucking NOVA teachers. You so-called "teachers" (graduate of ABC University of Basket Weaving, usually) make life shitty here for the rest of us hard working engineers.

    Ever take an ethics course? You are NOT suppose to engage in sexual relationships with your students. Scumbag.

    P.S. A big old, "fuck you" goes out to the fucking soccer lamers who came here. I have lived here for years trouble-free yet had to put up with being stared down by hundreds of cops everytime I walked through Shibuya.
