Some more people who should be lined up against a brick wall and shot in the face. The following people have been found guilty of being stupid, douchy, or in general need of death because I say so ( Read more... )

It's like you wrote down my thoughts. Quit it. You're scaring me.

Call me ignorant (I know you will), but I'm torn on #349.

I don't care that there are Mexicans here. I don't think they're dirty, and I don't place any other stereotypes on them. Oh, and I realize that the United States does not have a national language.

That being said, I think some effort should be put forth to learn the primary language spoken in whatever country you live in. If you live here, you should try to speak English. If you live in Finland, you should try to speak Finnish.

I'm certainly not saying "no Mexicans make an effort to learn to speak English". Most do -- I'm sure that more than 99.9% of the immigrants from Mexico do. It does bother me though, when I encounter someone who has lived here for more than 10 years and knows little more than the word, "hi". My mom did a lot of volunteer work with LULAC when I was growing up, and I encountered several people who admittedly never made an effort to learn the English language. I know it's rare, but it really does happen.

This was Mexico... but I didn't take this ( ... )

Ehh... I guess you could say that I don't have a problem with Mexicans at all -- just with incredibly lazy folk.

drivingrl October 4 2005, 22:41:04 UTC

Well, if you want to get really picky, we should be the ones learning the language of the Native Americans. So we're incredibly lazy, too.

True. Go far back enough and you're right, it wasn't Mexico or Spain, it was Native American land.

I hate guys in pink shirts! Not as much as I hate popped collars, though!

drivingrl October 4 2005, 22:40:01 UTC

Popped collars. Striped shirts. Pookah shell necklaces.

Kill me now.

Out of curiosity, who are you? In real life I mean. Do you know Andrew- aka Pezking124?

drivingrl October 5 2005, 19:01:37 UTC

I don't know him know him. I'm just a livejournal person. But I do go to UNT.

I agree with you on number 350, but there are a couple of bands that I really think did kinda sell out. Green Day's Dookie was and still is one of my favorite CD's, then they're next album was all poppy. True, they did win some of my respect back but there are a few exceptions to the rules.

mickmw November 22 2005, 05:36:39 UTC

Green Day may have sold out, but who cares? All great bands eventually get to where they are so popular that you think it is just poppy because everyone, including younger kids, like them.I hate the fact that I used to love Good Charlotte and now I see my 15 yr old sister listening to them. For that, I don't care for them, but there is really no reason not too, other than the fact that their music blows now.
