It amazes me when a white American person stands up for their culture and heritage in a peaceful manner they are a closed minded bigot....

When others throw big fits, riot in the streets standing up for what they believe in it is usually referred to as "ethnic pride"....

I'm sure you know I was kidding about the shooting bit. When I read my first sentence, that joke just popped into my head so I went for it. And I know you never considered my your lap dog. We both know that was John's attempt to make me look foolish. It failed.

Who's Jamie? raiderhader?

Zeb -
Usually 2nd generation immigrants do speak English. The thing I'm worried about is that there are so many new Mexicans in southern California, Texas, and maybe other places, that they can actually buy gas, go to the store, go to church, and everything else without having to learn the language. As a result, the kids may end up speaking English poorly, if at all. Urban ghettos and the whole Ebonics thing is an example of how that works.

LapDog
over and out

Don't worry, Lap Dog, I saw the humor.

BTW, what is the origin of you Lap Dog handle, anyway?

Fraz,
I see nothing selfish about you wanting to protect what has been left to you. But then I am a racist myself, so who cares what I think.


Lapdog,
yes I am Jamie. I would like to say bravo to you for your work on, I think, page four. Where you totaly showed Donko John for what he is. That was excellent work. How long did it take to research all of that, and then type it up?

I was wondering when somebody would ask.

Well, for one thing, I love dogs. But mostly, because it's a triple entendre. (three meanings for those who don't know)

Friendly, cheerful, wholesome people will automatically think of a favorite pet, so it invokes feelings of friendship and warmth in those people.

People who are less innocent or who have a more jaded look on life, are probably more inclined to think it means something else... uhhh... less wholesome. Those people would be inclined to treat me as an equal, instead of a happy-go-lucky pushover or general loser.

The third meaning would just be a tired dog who's running lap after lap, working his tail off. I figured nobody would think this was the real meaning, but I could make a humorous reference to it at some point.

LapDog
damn I'm a manipulative bastard

raiderhader -

Thank you for the wonderful compliment. If I told you how much time... you might lose some respect for me.

LapDog
(It was a few hours worth of work, mostly just confirming the accuracy of the logic and ferretting out any flaws in the post. I couldn't allow him to come back at me without a planned response. I intentionally left in one or two errors in the hope he would take the bait and make himself look even more foolish.)

Alrighty, then.

Personally, mine's a combination of my last name (Frazee) and General Zod, the villian from Superman II. My girlfriend from high school started that one, as I often told her, well, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

I won't go into any sordid details on that one.... :D

LapDog,
Lose respect for someone who puts that much effort into his work? Are you kidding? The world needs more people like you. Keep it up.


LOL Fraz!

Hee hee..
No need to explain. I read your source in another post some time ago!

Can You Say Ironic?
 

I am sitting here on the computer reading about Mexicans over running our country, and what to my dismay do I hear outside the window? A couple of gals walking down the street speaking Spanish! The invasion is now in podunk Oklahoma! What the he!!?

They must have gotten lost on the way to Chicago, Jamie.

Actually, if I hear two people walking down my street speaking English, I find it unusual...

June 1 is just around the corner. Thank God.

Well..

I hate to further your frustration Fraz, but here in KC, the nearby McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell all employ mostly Mexican people. The majority of them barely speak English. It is frustrating trying to special order anything. Try to order Cherry Pie and they keep trying to give you apple. I just don't go there very much anymore.

LOL!

Isn't it sad when it is strange to hear your own language in your own country? Pretty soon I'll have to know three or four languages to be able to get by in my own land. And I have enough trouble mastering my own tounge. :rolleyes: There is a reason countries have set a language as a national language - to make life easier.

The Asians, the Blacks, the Hispanics were brought to America as cheap labor. They have more than paid their way. Look around at the most prosperous nation in history which will soon be governed by these groups.

Oleman,
the ones who are ancestors of the ones who were brought here are paid for. It is the ones who aren't natural citizens that need to pay a price to become one.
