Now Afghanistan is fucked. Don't fancy Pakistans chance much either. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

How ridiculous is the euphemism "African-American"
Skyrad replied to birdlike's topic in Speakers Corner
I know a South African (White) who went to New Orleans, he was in a bar and got chatting to a black guy who asked him where he was from, when he told him SA the black guy told the South African that he was not a African but that the black guy was. When the South African asked him had he ever been to Africa the black guy said no, so he asked him if either his father or grandfather had been to Afica, again no. So the the South African asked the 'Afircan-American' did he speak any African languages, no the black guy replied. So 'let me get this right' the South African replied, I speak Xhosa, Zulu, and Afrikaans, was born in Africa as were my father and his father and his father before me, have lived all my life in Africa but I'm not African but you who has never even been to Africa the same as your father and grandfather and you speak no African languages yet you are an African? "Correct" said the 'African-American' (The same guy was also asked by someone else in the US if there is a bridge between South Africa and Australia another friend was on a US DZ and when asked by a American where he was from replied South Africa, the American then asked "Where abouts is that?".....Anyway, I digress) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

We call them Americans. If you mean what do we call black people we call them Black people, (which is what they call themselves) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca -

Couldn't agree with you more, most so calld African Americans have never even been to Africa. They are simply Americans, as are Irish Americans and Italian Americans When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Funny how the Australians and Kiwis manage to travel the world in vast numbers yet are further away from Europe by hours and hours and oh my grief am I still on this feckin plane hours and hours further away than the US is.

Whatever the reason Americans don't travel much is a real pity. I always try to go out of my way to americans that I do meet that travel as so few do and it should be encouraged, so if they go back with good stories maybe others will try it and open their minds to the world outside their own country too.

But if its Jews then its racist. Jews like Muslims come in all colours and nationalities so I don't see why this is the case. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Generally no, but it depends on the context its used in. Unless someone is saying it with malice at or about someone who has learning difficulties (which is a stupid term if ever there was one) then no, it wouldn't offend me at all.

A lesson that should be taught in all schools

Don't forget the 'trash' collectors, they risk everything everyday just so that we can have clean streets and not be overrun with rats. Without them it could be the Black death all over again.

Actually alot of us do speak German, they teach it in school you know. In fact if it wasn't for those pesky Vets they wouldn't need to waste our tax on teaching German in school and we could all be learning Arabic instead!

My cousin has three daughters, all home schooled thru 12th grade. One is a medical doctor (OB/GYN) in her residency. Another is a defense lawyer working in D.C. The youngest will graduate as an RN next year. I reckon she's the failure among them.

While I'm all for teaching respect, that sounds a little bit to much like installing a guilt complex. Also it gives the impression that the only way to serve your country is via service in the armed forces. Better to have a more rounded approach. Also it doesn't teach those kids anything about what those men did or why its out of context and doesn't say anything of the negative aspects of serving in a war.

LMOA however maybe I shouldn't admit to this but when Argentina invaded the Falkland islands I thought they were off the coast of Scotland! However I was only 13 at the time!

sorry but..sadly, I think obama will be assassinated
Skyrad replied to someday's topic in Speakers Corner
its funny that you say that because the other thing i have been thinking was.. hillary is totally a politician, i could see her going in as VP (or wanting to) and then she would have someone assassinate him so she could be president.. if i was obama thats why i wouldn't pick her.. and all 100,000 other reasons i would much rather see her get waxed then obama also i think depending on how close the polls are a couple weeks before the election, he'll get waxed cause the republicans don't want the democrats to "fuck everything up" You forget agent Bauer, i'm sure that Jack will put a stop to her nonsense.
