    Default [email protected]! I forgot to turn of my brain tonight!

    Urgh! I'm just about positive it didn't make me miss out on a dance... but I was stupid enough to respond to a couple of custies talking about the minute men. I SHOULD have just pretended to agree with whatever they said. Instead, I blurted out, "They're racist whether they're aware of it or not. You don't see them guarding the Canadian border as eminently, do you?" Ooooh, boy! THey did not like that comment!

    Head + desk

    At least they weren't spending money. Grrr, I've never done that before!

    Aw, it's ok. I make the mistake of appearing somewhat intelligent on a regular basis. Got my biggest money regular that way

    In this situation, however, I believe I would have had a heyday with "minute men" double entendre and not talked about racism.

    Haha, I do that too. I've acquired my best spending regulars that way, but I'm know I'd make more $$$ by playing the ditz or just telling idiots what they want to hear. lol I really need to work on a separate alter ego for those people.

    Of course, if they start setting up on the Canadian border, we know who to blame...

    Bella, I am an immigrant myself and live far from the Mexico border so I don't really care much about the whole illegal immigration issue one way or another, but let me point out a couple of things:

    1. The minutemen are not all white. There are many Black and even Latinos in there as well. So the whole "racist" label doesn't really apply.

    2. The Canadian border is not guarded because there aren't thousands of Canadians illegally entering the US every day. Pretty simple really.

    They're not setting up on the Canadian border because there's not 1000s Canadians sneaking across on a daily basis like there are Mexicans. I am quite sure if we had the same problem up north as we do down south, there would be a similar public reaction to them.

    Yeah, you really have to feel guys out a little bit before you actually dare to express an opinion at work. I forget this all the time and for most guys it's a turn-off.

    Who says you have to be white to be racist? Don't think that there aren't white people who enter this country illegally through the Canadian boarders. Either way, I don't mean that every single minute man is racist. But, there are tons of people who ARE racist who become minute men for that very reason. I believe the majority of them are. People who say they're not and they simply don't want ANY illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. are just naive.

    I didn't really get into it with the custies. I caught myself and stfu. But, like someone said... I just couldn't help myself.

    ^Yes, but it's still HAPPENING. I was responding to um... customers who were... well, they each were drinking pitchers of beer and weren't exactly being open-minded about it. I guess it kind of bugged me? Either way, I wanted to bend my foot back and kick myself. YOu should have seen their faces! It doesn't bug me as much today so that it's long over... But I need to watch myself. :-/

    I think some people would be suprised how many non-mexican people are in the US illegally. The poor may sneak over from Mexico but everyone else just skips across the Canadian border singing "yankee-doodle-dandee".

    Some conversations should be banned from strip clubs. Including this one.

    I wouldn't. But when you look around and illegal Mexicans seem to account for as many as all the other illegals combined, it becomes easy to point at the one largest group. Ya know?

    Whether or not you were wrong or right, everyone has opinions and every once in a while they're bound to rear their head.

    The ratio of illegal immigrants crossing the Mexican border is exponentially higher than Canada's. That's a fact.

    How many Minutemen do you know exactly?...I bet not enough to be able to declare that a "majority" of them are racists. There are many Latino minutemen as well. Do they just hate themselves?...

    Not every issue that involves another ethnic group has to come down to race. If my hometown was being flooded with illegal immigrants I wouldn't be too happy about it either. And I wouldn't care if they're Mexican or Swedish.

    While I def. agree that theres a time and place for certain conversations...and beer swilling rednecks probably arent the best people to start a politiacal argument with(!) ...I cant ever turn off my brain at work. If someone is spouting racist or sexist or whatever "ist" you choose comments..they WILL get a piece of my mind.
    Yeah..I'd prob make more if I kept my mouth shut and played dumb-blonde-party-girl..but it just aint me. And the amount of customers I've impressed by having an informed opinion and being able to debate something intellegently makes up for the closed minded idiots who didnt want to spend on me.
    The bottom line is that you should pick and choose those you debate with, since with the beer swilling crowd a debate can turn into an ugly fight real quick. But never apologize for having opinions. Or being informed
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    I'm going to respond to this and then leave it alone because you're missing the point of the thread.

    Just because there are Latino minute men, it does not mean "they hate themselves". It's not like they must have a "Latino people meeting" or something before they decide what every person of that ethnic group (all Latinos aren't from Mexico and they don't all hold the same views) must do.

    Do I have to count the number of minute men out there and find a way to operationally define "racist" and then test them to have scientific proof that they are racist? Yes. Is there a study out there that has already been done on that? I don't know and I'm off to work so I'll look it up later. But, since you don't know that for SURE anymore than I do, saying, "nu uh, cuz you don't really KNOW" is just childish and doesn't make your argument any stronger.

    I don't really come to a strip club forum to discuss politics so this will be my last post on this issue.

    The point of your thread was that you called the Minutemen a "racist" organization then congratulated yourself for being such a smart cookie. I gave you more than enough reasons why your assessment of them is incorrect. I can't help it if you don't like having your mistakes corrected. Enjoy your day.

    Well, fuck them, you know? If someone says something offensive, I can't help myself. There's always another wallet. If I piss one guy off I'm definitely not losing my night over it.

    Are you a troll or what? Read the title of my thread, genius. Having a brain = having opinions... whether YOU agree with them or not. I'm free to argue with you here. But, it is not appropriate at a strip club where I want the guy's monies.

    The point of her thread was that she didn't turn off the political discussion switch when she went to work that night. It has nothing to do with any Minutemen/racial issues.

    Aww...aren't you the cutest little thing. Does it make you feel less ugly and pathetic to tell beautiful women they are dumb? Really--I'm just wondering if it helps.
