I shopped at THE HOME DEPOT today at 4 to 5 PM...<br />& You would never guess what happened!<br />I didn't see one person of Hispanic descent!<br />I saw Japanese, Chinese, Ethiopian, Somalian, even Viet Namese there & every other color under the sun & everyone was smiling!<br />You know what? <br />The store didn't seem crowded for once....<br />Can we do this protest once a week? PLEASE?<br />Some seek freedom, some seek entitlement....<br />How to sort 'em out?<br /> :) :) :) ......JK

I had a similar experience here in Costa Mesa. I left at about 7:00 to go get dinner and eat it on the beach...not expecting to get there until dark even though it's only 6 miles away. Everything was deserted...comparatively speaking anyway. I got there in less than 15 minutes. They sure showed us...<br /><br />And to support American businesses on this day of boycott I bought a new pair of Nike's too! :) <br /><br />I say we should have a boycott at least once a month. :D

Re: Shopping At Home Depot!

You guys are actually saying there might be some kind of difference. Anywhere around here there was no difference at all. The world continued to turn and business went on as usual.

Yeah, well, it is kinda a big thing in LA. :) I expect nothing at all happened back home in OR. I want to emphasize the fact that the only difference I saw was a good one. :cool:

Let's have the boycott remain in place for the rest of the year. What exactly would you charge an illegal alien with if they start a riot? Happy Cinco de Mayo.

ZMOZ,nikes are made in Thailand.<br />Around here only a few hundred people demonstrated down town and they rushed off back to work.<br />They did make a very valuable point.They had no time to strike because they are chasing the American dream.

I saw a sign in Ft. Lauderdale while driving to pick up my boys "May day, expect delays". Too funny, cause traffic was light compared to most days. The only place I saw protests was on the news. Funny how all that were interviewed spoke perfect english.

Last week, in the Milwaukee area, a bank was robbed... high speed chase ensued... the criminal was firing gunshots out his window at a cop car driving alongside him.<br /><br />What was the important part of this story?<br /><br />The criminal was an illegal immigrant from Mexico.<br /><br />Round em up and send every last one of them home. I don't really give a crap what happens to them.

It was an illegal who was picked up carry the .38 spl that was stolen along with my suburban last October. For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is even an issue. We have been invaded and no one, of any import, even cares. It blows my mind. <br /><br />We actually have people here illegally, overtly calling for return of territories to a country that they are fleeing, a country that cannot even provide for them and they want to duplicate that here .<br /><br />I tell you, it is right out the mindset of George Orwell. It makes absolutely zero sense. But we put up with it?

Yeah, I was pounding on the keys with such furor that I had to change the batteries in my wireless keyboard!! :D <br /><br />But seriously, this whole thing just frustrates the heck out of me. These people come into our country... breaking the law to come here. Say we grant them the ability to become "legal Americans" what kind of guarantee do we have that they will obey our laws? None. They didn't obey our laws when they came and got away with it - they won't obey them when they're "legit."<br /><br />It's like a 5 year old and a candybar. 5 year old cries because he didn't get his candy bar, and thinks he should have it. The parent gives him the candy bar. On what planet does anyone think that the 5 year old will not try the same tactic to get another candybar down the road?<br /><br />Oh, and this was on drudge... pretty humerous!!<br /><br />

Now, that sign makes me nervous. Life without Burritos would suck.<br /><br />I still don't see how this is not our fault and first and foremost for hiring them . . . They wouldn't come if we didn't give them money when they got here . . . ;)

Yeah, but they only sent about 15 cents there to make my shoes. The other 60 bucks mostly goes to Oregon where they're based. ;)

Re: Shopping At Home Depot!

Not much happened here yesterday. It was reported a couple hundred protesters were at Dallas city hall.<br /><br />One guy was evidently run off by police because he had a sign that said "Dont sneak into my country and demand rights".<br /><br />The speakers were saying things like The first illegal aliens in Texas were named Sam Houston, Jim Bridger, etc. I thought the first 'illegals' by that definition came from Spain. :)
