[/QUOTE] Remember — it’s the deeds not the words. Talk is cheap. It’s what you do with your physical body that follows you until death does is part. I think your jealous of the vapors comment though. Nice visual , huh ? ---

Our language trick was better. My parents both speak several languages. I can get by well enough in Spanish, enough to tell someone their pants are on fire or the chihuahua is in the bathroom of the President. Their Spanish is fair-to-middling also, enough to more or less understand simple conversation. When we lived near Corpus, we would go shopping in Mexico once in a while. Naturally the shopkeepers speak some English – all the gringos coming down there to buy marble chess sets and Aztec calendar tables – but they would converse with each other in Spanish, especially when they were haggling with us and going over with one another what they would accept. They didn’t understand when my parents discussed the same in Russian, though. 😃 I must say I was a little :dubious: when I saw the subject line, but I saw no reason for offense when I read the OP. Huh. I must be a racist bitch. 😛 ---

Didn’t Pershing say “Villa, you magnificent Mexican bastard, I read your book”? Personally, to me the title seemed provocative but not wrought of bigotry, hatred or xenophobia. Maybe a weak 1.5 on the Obvious Offense Grading International Evaluation (OOGIE) index. ---

[QUOTE=JKellyMap] Good story, and I sympathize. But I object to your thread title. Why not “You Bastard”? Or “You Pretending-Not-to-Speak-English Bastard?”. Picking out his nation-state citizenship for the thread title label is not quite _irrelevent,_ but almost. It’s certainly arbitrary and unnecessary. [/QUOTE] Even though many before have already pointed out how ridiculous you are, I’d just like to add a voice to the choir: Fuck you, bitch. No nation-state identifiers necessary. -foxy ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] The OP is an insult to the whole Mexican race. And you can rest assured that the mods will turn a blind eye — just as they do routinely when people bash the French race or the Canadian race. [/QUOTE] Just so you understand that the Canadian race is not always to the swift. You can always tell the Irish You can always tell the Dutch You can always tell the Canadjuns But you can’t tell 'em much! ---

[QUOTE=A Monkey With a Gun] That, my friend, is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. [/QUOTE] So was your OP. 🆒 Sadly I have no similar stories despite my location. Although maybe I should use “no hablo ingles” when I don’t want to be bothered, just to confuse people.
