So does this mean the NRA is in the illegal arms trade?

TWO: I bet if I hired a real hot young lady to speed down the freeways all over America and keep getting tickets, I bet she would eventually find a few highway patrol officers willing to let her go for a little nooky-nooky.

So does this mean that all American highway patrol officers are corruptable?

THREE: I bet that if I got a Korean woman to go to a lot of foreigners teaching English in South Korea and try to offer them a large sum money for a phoney marriage to get a permanent green card in the foreigners' home country, eventually we'd find a few willing to do it.

So does this mean that all foreigners teaching English are so easily bribed?


It is pure unadulterated hypocrisy to attack an entire group based on the actions of a few within that organization. As foreigners working in Asia, we of all people should know better than that.

I hate hypocrites.... Mad


There is one massive glaring problem with the examples you made. None of the hypothetical people you mentioned receive millions of dollars in govt funding.


The highway patrol isn't funded by the gov't?

Great wall of whiner: "But, But, other groups--that are private and NOT publically funded--ALSO do stupid things, so it's okay for ACorn to do it too!"

- NRA is a volunteer/member group. They would be in BIG doodoo if they ever gave advice on how to get illegal weapons. But they won't. Theyre smarter than that.
- Cops are state/county/municipal entities. They can hire whoever they want. They usually hire reponsible people these days. They are held to the same high standards that acorn SHOULD be.
- Korean women can do whatever they want.

The main point:

-we should expect more from government dole Acorn employees. And their hiring system MUST be revamped.

Your anecdotes are meaningless. ACORN is a publicly funded national entity that evidently employs fools. Did you watch the videos? Why on earth would ACORN hire these trashy, uneducated scum to work in their offices?

I would hope that the majority of ACORN employees are fairly responsible, but the videos uncovered the most irresponsible, vile amateurs in FOUR different cities! Where is the accountability? The main issue is that ACORN hired brainless morons on the government dole. And how many more of them are we paying for?

What's with multiple people in this thread thinking that the Highway Patrol isn't government funded?

It reminds me of the guy who called Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio acting like a racist who wanted to donate money. The fundraising person didn't seem to know what to do. So, not wanting to discourage a donation, but having her doubts about this guy, she decided to put him on hold and the video stops there. What happened next? Did she tell him yes or no? They don't tell you because of their agenda, however, if she had said "yes, please donate," I have to believe that they would have included it.

I don't think this video proves much of anything beyond this kid's agenda either. Frankly, if someone revealed to me that he was a trafficker in human beings, (a cause that is very close to my heart) I wouldn't be able to fill those forms out fast enough...so that I could get his info for the police!
