Lo siento, senor, no hablo ingles.
Well boo-fuckin-hoo. As for me, “saddening” a sanctimonious weenie like you makes my day. I’m really glad that your ilk is a pretty small minority on the board.
This is a pit thread, not a column, nimrod.
Man, you really are a twit. Neither I nor most people in this thread, including most of the actual Mexicans, think there was anything offensive about the thread title or OP. I guess that must mean that none of us “care about people.”
Absolutely, if the assholishness had something to do with being Jewish, like playing the shofar at 4 in the morning or singing “Muskrat Love” in Yiddish at the top of my voice.
Sure. The thread title was probably intentionally provocative, but there was nothing wrong with it given the OP. But knee-jerk types like you won’t see that.
Yeah, but the first part of that post was a stupid comment that you’ve spent most of the rest of your posts trying to justify. You would have come off better if you had just dropped it.
Can you really do that? Because dude: YouTube.
This made me giggle like a little girl. The funniest post I have read on this board. Nice shot!
Hey, thanks- oh. Damn. :smack:
See, now I’m curious. So how about it, Monkey? You were telling Avi to wash and wax your car in nothing but a Speedo, weren’t you? :dubious:
Of course he’d do that for Antonio. From the way he’s described, I’d do that for Antonio.
I honestly appreciate that this observation has been noted – in all seriousness, it didn’t occur to me at first. If so, then, it could be seen as a mild, harmless form of phishing – specifically, phishing for “offenderati” or whatever it is that you idiots call 'em.
Anyway, I love reading anything Colibri has to say on scientific matters, but when it comes to human interaction, he’s a bit *insular * for my taste – maybe he should get out of Barro Colorado Island more often and check out the wider world.
Bait a hook with a turd and you’ll probably land at least one fish stupid enough to bite it.
The “offenderati” here are the ones whose pristine sensibilities are offended by the idea that people may (gasp!) comment on the things you write here. Also, y’all are just willfully obtuse for not finding a comment like “damnit, Avi, I’ve dealt with too many Mexicans to buy the “no hablo Ingles” trick” racist. :rolleyes:
Ok, maybe two.
Enough with this incessant hand-wringing over the Mexican race! Dammit, what about the Ecuadorian race? Nobody defends Ecuadorian bastards.
How dare you belittle the plight of the Guatemalans!
And those with fathers! :mad:
This is precisely the kind of intellectual sleight-of-hand we’ve all come to expect from you people of mixed race (Cherokee, Georgian, and libertarian).
Georgian?! […spit…] I’ll have you know I’m of the Carolinian race.
Ah, a fellow transplant. I spent the first half of my life w/ the Carolinian race, and the second with those Georgians.
Of course, I have that in common with approx. 450 thousand other Atlantans.
Oops… sorry. You all look the same to me.

Heh. Tried that upthread. Look what happened! 
Seems some people aren’t good with their reactions when you hold a mirror up to them.
Colibri, I’ll spell it out for you: you are not responding to people with sticks up their arses. You are the guy with the stick up his arse.
If you think people are spending too much time defending what they wrote against what you have to say, maybe it’s because what you have to say is needlessly insulting and misrepresentative, and you have been called on it. Tough shit. ‘Offenderati’ is a most amusing word. Rather like ‘tree-huggers’ and even ‘liberals’ though, it tends to identify a phantom group merely to allow its user to feel smug and righteous. I’m sure you’re better than this.
Vinyl Turnip, are you suggesting that the OP was ‘baiting a hook with a turd’? Because that sounds like an accusation of trollery. Not that you can’t make those here, it’s just that you presumably don’t mean to, and of course you’d be wrong if you did.
That’s what she said!
No, if I made an accusation of trollery it would be more like “sir, I accuse you of trollery.”
I just meant that some fish are dumber than others, and they’re the ones that end up with a mouthful of turd and hook. And man, they seem to be bitin’ today.
