wolverineinspector writes "Mink, LA is finally getting telephone land lines after the neighbouring communities got theirs in 1970. In the article they also say that as many as 6.2% of US homes don't have phone service - that would mean that 19 million Americans don't have wired phone lines available to them."

    The problem with these kinds of WASP white-trash is that the generations of inbreeding have rendered their IQ's so low, combined with their belief that their race has been chosen by their God to murder all the others, that they have to justify their hatred by pointing out the so called "barbaric" acts of other non-Aryan societies. All this while they vote for thugs, burn African-Americans alive, and spread anti-semetic proaganda among their own ranks.
