LOL. You’re not even close. Remember, you made a racial slur toward Molina. The requirement for your 20 bucks was to make a slur toward the wall street fat cats too. You did take a shot at West LA, and that is progress! But since you reserved any racial slurs toward the west siders, could you at least take back what you said about Molina? If so, the 20’s on its way.

“Handouts”? Who said anything about “handouts,” Rob?

I will call out any sense of entitlement regardless of race, class, etc. or whatever else you want to project on my statements

The Westside is also another big bag of entitlement, if that makes you feel any better, Rob. They had their chance with the original subway proposal years (and millions of tax dollars) ago but blew it due to typical Westside NIMBYism. For that, I feel Westsiders should be responsible for the difference in construction costs associated with the new subway design

Now about that $20 dollars . . .

The light rail’s being subsidized by everyone, not just the rich. Browne’s tax dollars are going toward it, too. It’s not a hand out. Hand outs are what’s happening on Wall Street. Businesses that have failed, read, failed, due to their own incompetency, on their knees and begging Washington for a handout. Where’s the anger, simple one? Why is all of your anger reserved for people in East LA? You used a racial slur to insult Gloria Molina. Any racial slurs toward the entitled Wall Street gorditos? Come on. Reach deep down inside. I’ll give you 20 bucks. Just open up a paypal account, and 20 bucks will be wired to you if you just say one hateful, bigoted thing toward the entitled babies on Wall Street. Come on, you can do it!

“Does it mean that if you’re not happy to take the crumbs people give you that you are an ingrate?”

Crumbs? You call a billion-dollar light rail project “crumbs,” Browne? That is *exactly* the sense of entitlement problem you claim to know nothing about

We should all be so lucky as to have a billion-dollar “crumb” like the Gold Line extension in our neighborhood!

Wow, Very Simple. When I saw your name in the recent comments I’d figured you’d come back to do the very simple thing, and apologize for your crude remarks about Gloria Molina. Guess not.

To the mods: Very Simple sounds an awful lot like someone that me and DQ are all too familiar with at another blog. If he is who I think he is, he’s undoubtedly a troll who’s here to do nothing more than disrupt the place.

Very Simple,

This is not about the Eastside. This is about that everyone should be given the same courtesy.

And what does this entitlement mentality mean anyway?

Does it mean that if you’re not happy to take the crumbs people give you that you are an ingrate?

Lots of entitlement going on with rich people who got their money stolen from Madoff and get new stories on how unfair it is. (Middle class people get their money stolen everyday and no news stories on them.) I think lots of entitlement is going on with these banks that fucked up our economy, but yet they are getting helped out with MY TAX DOLLARS and they feel that it is owed to them.

I think lots of entitlement is going on with people who feel that people of african descent and indigenous descent shouldn’t ask for anything and just be so thankful that we’re not still in Mexico or Angola.

I think you need to look up the word entitlement and explain to me how the definition of entitlement applies to anything that I am said in my prior comment.

Browne, if the Gold Line was not built through ELA I’m sure you would be pissing and moaning about the Eastside not having enough transportation options. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t with your type of entitlement mentality. Just be happy the friggin’ rail line runs so close by — most Angelenos would be jealous!

Very Simple,
Your “gordita india” comment is worthy of deletion, but I’m gonna let it ride, for now. But it’s inappropriate and wrong. I have my issues with Molina as well, but your avenue of criticism is a dead end.

Shine it on Browne, Chavo let he/she slip through the cracks, he/she is a well known troll who is always looking for attention. He/she calling someone an idiot and a fat indian says alot about who he/she is. This sad person has undoubtedly not taken or lost it’s medication and should immediately dial 911 for help and hide all sharp objects.

You know if you have something to say about Molina you need to be alot less of a sexist ass in the way you say it (I’ve noticed this on lots of blogs.) And you know, the Gold Line through the Eastside is built like shit which is pretty much Metro’s style for building through majority working class poc neighborhoods:

http://www.thebusbench.com/2009/04/the-santa-fe-railway-wasnt-so-nice-either-the-gold-line-inequities.html

You know Molina wanted the Gold Line to be built as a subway not at grade on the Eastside. The mainstream press has a vested interest in people focusing on her and thinking she is the devil.

If you want to get mad at something get mad at how Metro is passing out flyers for the Eastside as their safety measure while South Pasadena gets barriers, soundwalls, signs, the barriers get barriers. You want to call someone names call Roger Snoble a name, call the corporate interest in LA names, call Riordan (who is still pulling strings some dirty names.) Getting mad at Molina for this is simply stupid.

I’m personally happy she is calling it La Linea de Oro it will make it much easier for me to google and find info when the death rates on that section of the Gold LIne will be markedly higher than in South Pas and Pasadena.
