I’m just the only one around here with the guts to say what we’re all thinking. Don’t get me wrong - some of my best friends are black. But I really think that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. That’s just my opinion, though, so don’t get all uptight and pissy. ---

If being pissed off that Mexicans wont control kids in public makes me a racist, then I guess I’m a racist. Ah, a stupid racist. :smack: Being pissed off at parents who won’t control their kids (in public or in private) is perfectly natural. The point is that you’re turning a few incidents you’ve witnessed into a condemnation of an entire nation. And that’s racist. > [@jackofsevens](#): > > Of course I don’t like it when the following don’t control their kids either: > > Whites,Blacks,Browns,Yellows,Greens,Vulcans,Tatooinians,Jews,Serbs,Indians(far east and native american) and the list goes on… Vulcans are off a TV series. They don’t exist. (I say that because it’s not clear how stupid you are.) ---

So how’d you know they were Mexican? Were they all wearing flags? Commemorative Santa Ana t-shirts? Inquiring minds want to know. ---

I’m not Mexican, I’m Puertorican, and _I_ control you kids in public. I’m the complete stranger who will walk up to your abandoned, screaming, fit-throwing brat & tell them to sit down & shut-up. I will then find you and tell you that if you can’t control your child in public, maybe they aren’t ready to be in public yet. :dubious: ---

About 75% of the folks in Michigan seem to need me too. Grow a set and do it yourself. ---
