Really brilliant.. stealing the most unsubtle, conspicuous, ridiculous-looking transitory device EVER. I’m sure someone will see your dorky ass on the road somewhere, ridin’ nerdy..
Hawaiians don’t care, they’ll steal anything that isn’t nailed down. I’m pretty sure Hawaiians are taught from the time they can walk how to break in to cars, how to rob their neighbor’s house and how to steal anything that isn’t chained up or nailed down.
I’m a Native Hawaiian by blood, I don’t steal, your racist, blanket generalisations offend me. I take great pleasure in single-handedly destroying stereotypes though, so, thanks.
Cherdan,
Jimmy does have a point. Crime in Hawaii is very high with respect to theft. Much worse than CA. I’m also not impressed with the high level of racism by Hawaiians against non Hawaiians. Generally speaking It makes the South appear civilized comparatively.
Oy vey. He did not say “Hawaii has a problem with theft,” he said “HAWAIIANS will steal anything that isn’t nailed down.” Since you mentioned the South, that would be akin to being in the South and saying, “Blacks will steal anything that isn’t nailed down,” not “The South has a problem with theft.” Even if you may too disagree with his offensive statement, in essence, you just gave a halfhearted green light to a bigot, and that’s on you.
Call me racist and bigot and I laugh in your face. Racism is an is a word that was invented by politicians to usse to beat each other up with. You sound ignorant and I’m sure your bf/hubby is miserable. Enjoy your empty life.
PS I could care less if your Hawaiian, white, black, purple or green. Must be tough worrying so much about the color of peoples skin. I feel a bit sorry for you but you do seem a bit angry so I guess I am glad your so conflicted…
Hawaiians…so-called Hawaiians….you know..the ones that have one ancestor that was HAwaiian when Captain Cook Landed here two million years ago….are MUCH worse than blacks as far as racism and theft goes….and why are Hawaiians so racist…..it’s because they seek to destroy what their little brains can’t understand
Hawaiians do most of the theft here….they think the world owes them something….they owe everyone a big debt of gratitude for saving them from a dysfunctional society that truly practiced racism against their own…ever heard of the Marquesians…>?…Hawaiians murdered them all..and now when it is obvious that the Hawaiian Race is a complete failure and completely ill equipped to survive in a modern world…they seek to blame the world..anyone but themselves…
And why the gas? Aren’t they electric?
