UNLIMITED Arizona Hilarity thread

[Doktor Howl]

I actually think that Arizona is going to make itself an object lesson for the rest of the country. It's kind of like a small miracle, watching this unfold before our eyes.

Unfortunately, Utah and a few other states are seriously considering emulating this Jim Crow shit.

That's Utah, Utah is shit.

Also, Texas (SURPRISE!!!), Louisiana, Arkansas (again, shocker), and about 5 others.  So far.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

They can emulate it all they want; they'll still be backpedaling like motherfuckers when the shit hits the fan in AZ, which it will.

I want to see Arkansas start firing teachers on the basis of having an "accent".  Does pronouncing "wash" with an r count?

[Vene]

Personally, I want to see them start going after Americans with non-rhotic accents (like around Boston).

It's "car" not '"cah" there's a bloody "r" in it!

You're assuming things will get better.  Or that the horrible old racists in Phoenix will allow silly little things like the collapse of our economy or world-wide scorn to influence them.

Funny thing:  Right now, many Americans are kind of ashamed of Arizona, and sort of wish it was in another country...But the way they view Arizona is the way much of the rest of the world views America as a whole.

We have the same amount of "r"s as the rest of the country.  We just redistribute them.  Did you know "soda" has an "r" in it?

Socialist scum with your redistribution.

It's people like you that make Sarah Palin cry!

Oh, I KNOW things will get better... and by "better" I mean unfathomably worse.

If I was a cop in Arizona right now, I would be pulling white people over left and right, demanding their passports or birth certificates. I would fucking hang out near a school and take mothers to jail for transporting kids who "might be aliens" without documentation. I'd hang out near the capitol building and detain fucking politicians if they weren't packing their papers. Also, whatever the paperwork is to get a teacher fired for having an accent, I would be filling it out on anyone with any kind of regional US accent. Use the system to make it eat itself. Why this is not already happening left and right is beyond me.

Enforcing this shit on white people would get a cop fired.  For racism.

Be worth it though, especially if you could get a whole cadre of people to do it.

Holy fuck?  I thought there were only a million people in metro Tucson.  How do you drive people that crazy?

There is a reason Tucson is a horrible place. The land itself is sentient. It is angry. It hates us all.

The land beneath Tucson was once beneath a great sea. And it slept in the cool dark. The seas receded, and the land was awoken by the heat and sun and air and wind. It was angry, for it wanted to return to the quiet and constant night it once had. New kinds of life sprung into being, and the land became angrier still. When man came to build his cities, the land was wrathful, and drove him to insanity, but man would not – could not – leave. The land wanted man to pay for the scars he had put upon it, and would not allow him to leave. It wanted him to pay.

It took his dreams and broke them. It took his will and crushed it. It gave him no chance of escape. And man became lost, there in the desert, though he did not realize it. And it gave the land grim satisfaction to cause man great suffering. And man multiplied, and the land became more enraged and more delighted, had more lives to destroy.

It still yearns for sleep, the land. Until then it will take we who remain and play with us as the dog plays with a stuffed toy – shredding us to bits, leaving us when there is nothing left of us. The land is angry. It is joyful. It hates us all.

That's pretty much what I think of the cities Almere and Emmeloord in our polders ....

Wasn't there a part in the Arizona bill where it explicitly allowed anybody to sue the state if they didn't enforce the law?

[Manabu]

I must say that i dont mind the new legislation

the oddity in making a new bill to remove cultural studies from public school is a bit... er, odd.

but the whole giving the police the same abilities as the border patrol just seems to be on par with what should have been in their abilities in the first place


most people have been warped by the shitty opinion-news that CNN spews forth from its foamy gullet as it shakes its fingers at anyone who their masters tell them to, so they dont actually know what the bill does

but once i went and read through it, it is, as i said, on par with what should have been anyways.

the main part of the bill is this: YOU NEED TO BE IN THE ACT OF AN INFRACTION TO HAVE YOUR ID REQUESTED.

the bulk of these are, indeed, when you are pulled over

but guess what? YOUR ID IS PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. and, even far far before the bill was even a glint in AZ's eye it was ILLEGAL to drive without your id

in fact, i was told when i came to AMURRRIKAH that you are required by law to carry a state id at all times anyways

so the bill doesn't really change anything

all it changes is that if you are pulled over/arrested/held and can't prove your are a citizen (I.E. YOU DONT HAVE YOUR MOTHERFUCKING ID ON YOU) then you are detained, investigated, and deported if no proof can be shown (as in no one brings an id for you, you aren't in the system, etc etc)


all the mexinazis spewing the san diego plan downtown are doing nothing but bitching for the sake of bitching. before, the border patrol was called. now, the police can deal with it themselves. BIG FUCKING CHANGE, NE?

And now, Austin is jumping into the Ignorance pool, and is quoted as saying that it "wants to be sure that its employees are not subjected to unfounded detention." How is it "Unfounded" if they are motherfucking ILLEGALLY HERE? if their fucking employees are NOT illegal, they have nothing to worry about.

and California, fuck 'em all. i am not even going to bother to shoot down every statement they have given on the matter, because if i have to correct that much stupidity in one post, i will feel as if i am grading a kinder-gardeners calculus worksheet. I DONT HAVE THAT MANY RED PENS TO CROSS OUT YOUR MORONIC STATEMENTS, CALI. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET IN THE CHOPPAH.

but alas, this fact will be ignored by the masses, the CNNazis will continue their hateful tirade filled with conjecture, ignorance, and opinion, people will take it as fact, a conspiracy theory will be formulated, and AZ will ignore it all as we sit in our desolate hell of a state sipping on muddy water willed with e-coli and the tears of the desperate, and slowly dry-rot into the ground as the lizards feast on what was once a state that was filled with people who attempted to hope and in turn received no answer to their wanting beyond death...

EDIT: i figured i would put this here before someone starts throwing the racist card: i am all for LEGAL immigration, obviously. fuck, everyone in the US is or is descended from an immigrant. i just refuse to accept the unchecked tide of illegal immigration that is flowing forth. NO OTHER COUNTRY WOULD STAND FOR IT. NO OTHER COUNTRY ALLOWS IT. EVERY COUNTRY HAS THEIR OWN ANTI-ILLEGAL-IMMIGRATION LAWS. the fact that we are trying to be proactive about ebbing the flow of this tide of illegal immigrants shouldn't be frowned upon. Before people bash the bill, perhaps they should read it to the point of comprehension and understanding, ne?
