I did have to pop a cap in Sancho, but I didn't have to use my AK so I gotta say it was a good day.

Won't get up early to go get a job, but will get up at the buttcrack of dawn to get a voucher..............Heaven forbid they have to actually work to support themselves.

I saw that "NEWS" a couple of days ago and it was followed by a clip of people going to a job fair.(NBC nightly news)

Funny the first clip about 95% of the people going were black and in the other clip there were only a few blacks. It’s so nice to see where their priorities are!

[wwomanC6]

Damn, I saw the news the other morning about the mass flocking to get the vouchers, but did not hear about the stampede!http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i359/dixonwl/smileys/b16839fd.gif

That's why I avoid Dallas when I can!

Seems if they have all these applications they are holding, there would be a better way to distribute any new vouchers than what is shown in the video in the OP.

[Petew1971]

man those black people sure are violent

[oyealiz]

Wow, even worse, the stampede was to get one of 100 spots on the waiting list for vouchers.

This was the first time Dallas County had opened its waiting list since 2006, and applicants may have to wait at least two years to actually receive vouchers.

It depends. Was there a stampede and your feelings were trampled?

Seems like she trampled 'em.

Took her out to the SF Steakhouse, bought her scotch and Key Lime pie in the Grape alley or something.

Then she wouldn't tuck me in.

I'm still tore up about it.

Guess you needed to offer a more appealing voucher program.

Werd. But, in today's entitlement society, you can't expect someone to earn their keep anymore, they're entitled to what I (and other producers) earn, just because it would be 'fair'.

:rolleyes:


Makes me so angry. :mad:
