Well... I don't gamble that much actually. In fact the whole time we were thre, Martina was the one losing our life savings (her Croatian blood I guess lol). I was just spending my time at the bar. They had this awesome French wine. Ver old, which for a wine is a very good thing. That whine and also that good Czech beer they had were some of they few things I won't soon forget from this trip! lol |

Good thing you were drunk when she gambled yours and her life savings away. I assume she lost it all?....I think I would have hit the whiskey or vodka after that.... |

I've said before in the past that i am mixed races. Which is why people call me a mutt. |
Based on your posts, you're not very bright. That's why you have all the problems you're experiencing. There plenty of "mutts" in the US, and most are prospering here. Those who like to whine would certainly be better in Quebec....

It helped my store a whole lot. I finally got to fix the place up a bit, even changed the windows, the last ones were put in in the 50s, when the old piece of crap was built! lol |

The American underclass has a coarse and violent reputation. This antisocial behavior is pervasive in large crowds, localized pockets of the public education system and areas with free access to public transportation.

Many areas of the US exercise a certain amount of "class" discrimination enforced by economic discrimination. Middle and upper class Americans use accessability and distance to segregate themselves socially and economically.
Economic boundaries can also be biased toward or against race or cultural origin. Some communities only sell or rent privately to control the content of the community. The "gated" community is more than just a security method!

My ancestors spent hard years in NYC and Chicago saving to escape to the west. If I were in some inner city neighborhoods, I would consider escape to Siberia! |

| PapaG: I don't know what you're talking about. New York City, L.A., Chicago or any other large US city is full of people of mixed races. In NYC, people speak hundreds of languages. This guy is just compaining and whining, because it's his nature. He is not even black. Where did he find so much racism? He is a typical loser - that's what it sounds like. I came to the US with nothing, and worked my way up. The US is still the land of opportunity like no other. |

You don't have to pay taxes on winnings in Canada. You can get all the tax money back from the yankees. You just have to apply. Check the gov. sites out for the forms. |

| Yes PapaG...what are you talking about? there are elements to what you say and also to what solis says too...but certainly it is only if you go out of your way to be in such an environment. And these environments are not the norm in the USA. Spice is totally right. |
