Anonymous Coward User ID: 1276958 United States 01/22/2012 05:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The fact that they own so many gas stations is really irrelevant since we as americans sell these gas stations to them. sure the government throws money at them like a damn parade, but we are so money hungry we jump at the first oppurtunity to sell. In the town I live in all of our gas stations were owned and operated by americans untill they sold it to Indians. The question that I have is, Why are they allowed to sell bongs, pipes(and meth pipes), but americans are not. Also why are they allowed to have slot machines in there stores, again americans are not. And why are all of them named Patel. When I was working at a blockbuster many years ago I typed in the name "Smith" a common last name that generated a lot of hits, but when I typed in "Patel" it was like a fucking plague. The name Patel more than tripled the name Smith. That my friends is very very scary. WHAT THE FUCK IS A PATEL? Quoting: skatmanwes 888713 This is all a lie. The gas stations are all owned by the oil companies. Individuals no longer own gas stations. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1276958 United States 01/22/2012 05:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This has been a topic in my house for awhile. I figure, as I always do, that GLP (ie. government) is just trying to figure out how much people know about shit. Most of the time, I avoid answering these kinds of questions. Figure if you've heard it, it's a lie. The fact that they keep repeating the same crap about free government loans and no taxes, figure that's a total lie. Most of the gas stations and convenience stores here were run by Arabs, as someone else stated. I do not believe that any gas stations are privately owned anymore. The oil companies own all of them. All big business is the government. And, all business is big business. The government owns and controls EVERYTHING. There is no private enterprise. This is a communist country. There are no free elections. There is no free anything. The people working at convenience stores and gas stations are working for the government as intelligence. That's it kids. That's whats really happening. |

MKULTRA-X User ID: 9373621 United States 01/22/2012 07:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know how much truth to this there is, but I heard once that the reason the nail salons (most, not all of course) are ran by asians is that many are owned by the Yakuzza (dont know if I spelled that right). I few years ago at a major city about 30 miles from here, an Asian mans nail salon was smashed up by what he claimed were Yakuzza thugs trying to extort money from him by selling out to him and he refused. Its been a long time so I dont remember the specifics, but I know I remember him on the nightly news complaining about it and saying most of the Asian salons were owned by that mob. Anyone else heard about this? Is it just a rumor? Ever been substantiated? Quoting: MKULTRA-X Whoa, every nail salon Ive seen, is owned by Asians, So true. Theres one in the mall. One in Walmart. Everyone Ive passed, owned by Asians, Exact same interior, and decor and set up. Like its a pre made business package . Right. There is one nail salon that I am aware of near me thats not owned and ran by Asians, and its inside a hair salon ran by a friend of mine. Im not knocking the Asians or anything because Ive always seen them do a really good job, I was just wondering if any one else had heard that before. The guy on TV was very adamant that it was Yakuzza thugs who smashed his shop up simply because he wouldnt sell out to them, but I mean, it couldve been "poser" Yakuzza,ya know, not the real thing. I mean theres thugs that run around here and claim to be Crips, but we all know they aint crips LOL. Heck, I mean, he couldve even smashed up is shop himself LOL.

Yes, they know how to scam the system but the system is also set up to 'give' immigrants grants, loans, free healthcare, etc. SIL was interested in starting a business but found out if you weren't an immigrant, the gov't won't give you anything. That is a lie.Immigrants pay taxes whether they are citzens or not.The thing is foreigners are hard working people. When Americans get to a new city they are looking for a job,but foreigners are trying to figure out what kind of business they can run.That is the diffrrence.

Indians do.. They help people get settled into a new life so they dont need to struggle like they did..(Thats why many own the same type of business, they learn the ropes from each other, and stick to it) so you think all of these indian get low interest loans... yeah right NOT ALL OF THEM DO... In addition hundreds of my families members have been here since the 70s.. and have been citizen since then.. In addition they dont pass the business to other family memebers, so they dont have to pay taxes!!! they have owned the same business of 25-35 yearss (under the same name) !!!

It's not just East Indians; in Texas, I remember a lot of them were Southeast Asian refugees, and yes, they got loans far bigger than an American could to open their businesses.

Dirtyboy User ID: 52895926 United States 01/13/2014 08:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As I understand it immigrants can buy a business and don't have to pay federal income tax for 5 years. A lot of these businesses are family operations. Everyone in the family works the business so the labor costs are very low. Anyone can open a gas station. As I understand it you have to agree to a 5 year contract with an oil company. You have to pay a certain amount whether you have the sales or not. The problem is all the EPA and state regulations so for the most part an individual can't afford all the costs of start up and in many cases can't afford to upgrade to new environmental laws. Most new gas stations are corporate chain operations that have the money to invest. Because these gas stations have large volume of sales they get better wholesale prices on gasoline that small time operators can't get. I am told by businesses in two different states that every time a state inspector shows up they get a bill for the inspection. If the inspection is due to a complaint you get a bill even when the complaint is bogus. Most small business start up fails because you have to be in a position where you may not make a profit for 5 years. If you don't have some sort of edge then you won't make it. Most small time restaurants that aren't family run fail unless the land and building are owned. Dirtyboy Think beyond impossible. |

There are a billion people in that cut off, shit, wasteland of a country filled with disease. They are the same spirit that came here in the days of the frontier and made this country great. THEY appreciate that value of our country. Unlike the Mexicans who want to come and work here illegally and bring their whole family here, Indians who can co.e here, so so legally and work to send money back to their entire family in India. Coming to America for one Indian family means wealth and prosperity for the entire family back home. Family first. Don't judge. I didn't mean to do that...or did I? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 63727511 United States 12/13/2015 03:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My family and I travel a lot and enjoy going out into the country to find new places. We love finding places that seem to be stuck in a time past, that exhibit the glory and pride of the American dream for Americans. Today I visited a café/convenience store with the following address: 4223 AR-16, Elkins, AR, 72727. We found this café and it seemed to be an old time 'mom and pop' store, which are rapidly disappearing. We thought it would be nice to drive a little farther to support this business. We have been there a few times to eat and get gas. Today, there was a man behind the counter. My husband overheard from another customer that the man was the owner. My husband, cautious not to offend for fear of being misjudged, verified through our waitress that the individual was the owner. He inquired further by asking if the owner was from the Middle East, due to the fact that we have noticed in our travels how many stores seem to be owned by Middle Eastern immigrants and we thought we had found one that wasn’t. Our waitress informed us that he was from the Middle East. My husband and I have often wondered how these stores in the middle of nowhere are found by immigrants and how they go about acquiring them. This community is sparsely populated with hard-working, lower middle class, legal, tax-paying white and black Americans. The owner aggressively approached our table after our food had been served and asked if we had a problem with him with a look that could kill on his face, directed toward my husband. My husband replied 'no, I just think there is something wrong with our country. I don't have a problem with you. How come everywhere I go foreigners own all the convenience stores?" The owner replied, 'I have met a lot of people, but you are the biggest asshole.' My frightened 6-year-old was at the table and I was upset with the use of language. My family and I got up, paid for our meal and left in fear. When we walked away from the counter, the owner yelled, 'don't ever come back here.’ We replied that we wouldn't. We asked ourselves years ago how and why this was happening and it seemed like nobody else noticed. I was interested to find this post today. I also found it interesting how aggressive the owner of the store was and it brought to mind the recent shootings in California. What would happen if radicals operated the stores many rely on, with the next store being 20 miles away? Where would it leave the community if the owner of the store stopped serving Americans with gas and food in support of ISIS? Who would a person notify if an individual was suspected of being a radical? |
