issue at a downing street summit. black community leaders reacted after mr blair said the recent violence should not be treated as part of a general crime wave but as specific to black youth. he said people had to drop their political correctness and recognise that the violence would not be stopped by pretending it is not young black kids doing it. ...more... http//www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0205514800.html white trash = black trash i dont know of any black serial killers. daily drive by shootings are not serial killings i do remember eric robert rudolph. jam here is the way i see this. on the one hand i saw no racial bias in imus comment. he says that stuff all the time. now i agree with those that say that the imus show wasnt particularly funny but it wasnt particularly offfensive either. he ridiculed people of all colors. how can you have a problem with that this whole racial bias thing is strange anyway. and sharpton hes an idiot. there are idiots of all colors........but im telling you..... sharpton is lead off hitter for the group. on the other hand.......imus chose his playground. he made millions of bucks doing what he did and he pandered to his advertisers. when you decide to play in that playground you gota play by someone elses rules and he simply got caught violating someone elses rules. thats really his problem. hate to see race be the issue that got him.......it could have been any one of hundreds and in the long run it isnt gonna help the whole race deal. did imus get screwed he sure did. but at least the man gotta chose his place to fight. . 222 333152 dqc023d74uk3v0gtlv3t7p0gedke7kv34a@4ax.com on fri 13 apr 2007 110915 -0400 roy roy@home.net wrote if you have a warranty why wouldnt your first stop be at the dealer if he doesnt have a warranty why wouldnt his first stop be at the dealer .

edward ohare wrote why would they tell you its nothing if theres something wrong they get paid for fixing it. dealers get paid to fix it not diagnose it. often some dealers will spend very little time to determine if theres a problem or not and decide its not worth their time. .
