I don’t believe you’re that insane to think that a word’s “true definition” is retained when it is adopted into another language than its original language. What you are now doing is compounding what can only be an intentional lie. If you have, in fact, lived in the United States for any appreciable time, then you would know that particular word is offensive in English.
Before this thread, I actually respected you as far as your posts on this board are concerned. Now I know with no doubt whatsoever that you are a bigot and a liar. Well done.
Actually, I hope that you manage to dissuade all of us from that appraisal of you. I fear that it will be a long and tough road for you, though.
Oh yeah please excuse me for not making the distinction in my mind. Because the English translation of the word differs from the Spanish meaning that makes me a liar?
The only English that I have heard or used today, yesterday or for the past few weeks has been on this board. The last time I had a brief conversation in English was to help an elderly grin…oops, American pay for a purchase at a local supermarket.
…are you lying about that, too? Now you got me all confused.
Well, at any rate, enjoy your corrupt, shithole country and spread the word to your compadres: come legally or stay the fuck out. But if you or they can’t abide by that simple fucking request to honor the law, by all means, bring rocks.
The true definition of ‘Gringo’? Well, it’s a compound abbreviation. Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew, I’m lonely my darling since parting with you…
10 percent of your fellow countrymen live in the US both legally and illegally. # percent of Americans live abroad. 150-500 thousand (1/10th of 1 percent)Americans live in Mexico. Over 250 Mexicans
trying to reach the US this past year, and untold thousands risk their lives trying to get here every year.
Let me put it to you this way. This is the sovereign country of the United States of America. We make our own laws. If we say we do not want people coming into our country undoccumented and following our rules, then we mean it. WE DO NOT WANT THEM HERE. They are not welcome. If
cannot abide by our laws, then
are not welcome. If we arm our law officers and say they can defend themselves if necessary, we don’t give a flying fuck if you like it or not.
If your government actually cared for it’s citizens, then they would do something about the flood that is coming illegally and unwelcomed accross the border. It would attempt to creat a hospitable living environment for it’s own people instead of forcing them to rik their lives to go to an unwelcoming foreign country. Your country has a dismal growth rate, a dismal unemplyment rate, and an adysmal number living in poverty.
Millions of Mexicans are here legally. They are more than welcome. We want them to prosper and have the same opportunities and quality of life as all Americans can have. We
be racist otherwise. And since we are not, your just another uninformed :wally
Holy crap, can I get a do-over? Or a mod fix the coding and delete one of these posts? I previewed this one. :smack:

It would attempt to create a hospitable living environment for its own people instead of forcing them to risk their lives to go to an unwelcoming foreign country.

Personally, I do not find the term Gringo offensive, although I perceive that sometimes (like when CBEscapee uses it in this tread) it is meant that way. To me it’s on par with the term Canuck when refering to Canadians. I learned long ago that racial epiteths say absolutely nothing about me and everything about the person hurling them. You can’t give offense when I refuse to take it. However, I thought some of you might be interested in the etimology of the word, so I provide this link from this month’s American Heritage Magazine. Enjoy!
Best news I’ve had all week. One tip, if you ever change your mind, leave your rocks at home.
Let’s see - numerous summers spent with relations in Mexico, not living in a tourist resort, but in cities and towns. A semester in college spent building homes as a missionary project, a six month stay to care for a cousins kids while we watched her die of cancer. I’ve lived in mexico, I’ve lived here. Here wins. Put it this way, if this country is so fucked up by comparison, why do so many mexicans risk so much to get here?
Was the guy caught and released 11 times, or is this assertion by you
just something you pulled from your ass?
You can’t have it both ways. If you are going to use the “11 times caught and released” to say “Homeland Security is a fucking farce. You cry about the porous border and the threat it is for terrorism and you let someone go 11 times?? What a joke” then you have to admit he was caught and released 11 times.
Otherwise, your little Homeland Security point holds no water. Much like every other post you’ve made, but hey. You’re on a roll here.
At the very least you’ll need a better cite. Or a clue.
Ooooooooo. Unless you choose to unleash Mexico’s advanced weaponry as your dumbass countryman did. That might change things, now wouldn’t it, tough guy?
You really are a moron. Tell us, all powerful one. Is it because you do what we fucking say when you cross theborder? Or is it that you barge through any obstacle on your way daring some gringo to touch your smelly ass?
I lived along the border for several years and regularly went across into Mexico. FTR, my impression of the Mexican police is that throwing a rock at one of them would quite likely cost you your life.
