HiTech Robotic lawn care system pioneered by Google, threatens Mexicans everywhere

Hrm, never seen a goat pick lettuce. :rotfl:

I used to mow lawn too, when i was a friggin kid, but I am an adult and have a real job. I have not seen one ethnic group other than Mexicans performing yard work in my city. It pisses me off because they insist on using leaf blowers early on Saturdays. I take care of my own yard and when they see me doing the work they come over to solicit me even though they cannot speak english well at all. Just last week I was trimming the hedges and one of the workers just decided to start using that god damn leaf blower on my sidewalk. I had to stop the fellow and attempted to communicate to him why the frick he was doing that, then his Poppi came over and in broken english said "He pick up leeeves for chu...". I asked, "Por Nada". "No-no senior! For money", he said. I told them both to get the frick off my sidewalk. I do not mind being solicited, but to just start working without permission is pompous arrogance I do not care what ethnicity they are. Eh, I will buy the robot

Man - being politically correct instead of saying they are illegals (hint hint) doesn't get you anywhere. I'll be more blunt next time.

It was supposed to be funny.

No - but if you read my post - I specifically called out 'illegals'. They way you describe things is that this is racist. Whatever.

How is it being politically correct by doing even further singling out than "Illegal Immigrants"

And frankly I don't give much a damn for illegals but the Mexican people are a diverse and hard working people and they deserve our respect. Only a small subsection choose to be asshats not the whole damn people! Just like ANY OTHER group!

How come all the jokes posted about women never get this kind of reaction?

You misogynist bastards

Ah I'm not PUMA enough for you? :P


And I have not seen such a direct derogatory remark right in the thread title about women before. I am not on Subsim 24/7 you know.

theres about a 45% demographic of hispanics in my school, 99% of them aren't illegal (i know one is, and he's an a**hole about it, when I can understand his incredibly broken english) I got SUBMAN's joke and I had a bit of a laugh about it. Albeit it was a little rascist, but, again, in my school (and other places in this wonderful town of ours) there are hispanics who decide to sell their work for cheap, my dad and almost all of his friends lost their work, which they were incredibly good at, mind you, i saw the fitness reports, because some guy who was about a 6 hour drive from crossing the border works for $5.00 cheaper.
I watched a show about an illegal immigrant family, and every time it showed the father, he was talking about how hard life was...with a 45" flatscreen tv and a PS2 in the background! I mean, I love the hispanic work ethic, but they need to stop doing it in our country, we are getting overpopulated here in the US, and its only getting worse because all of this cheap labor, combined with a crashing economy, ( I have a sneaky feeling it's mostly their fault too) and we are going down thr crapper in america, while aliens get 90% of their profits back, almost no taxes!
it's really sickening for me to see what our country is coming to.

I have said my piece on that. (ref.)

I got accused of:
Being "high and mighty".
Laughing at paedophilia
Posting "a load of horse feminist crap"
Being a woman with PMS
and having constipation

It gave me the impression that misogynism is accepted at Subsim, even
if SUBMAN's casual racism isn't.

Well that's awful. Now I feel bad about posting jokes in those threads.

Come to think of it, I'd like to see some jokes about men from our female subsimmers. One good turn deserves another.
