Because that's when she's most attractive. So what?

Why?? I actually moved because the school my daughter was zoned for was 77% Indian and I feared she'd be ostracized and excluded for not being Indian. I like diversity, meaning nobody in the school, white, Indian, or otherwise, makes up 75% of the population, so she's zoned now for a much more diverse school. But I admit I wouldn't have had as much of a problem had the 75% not been Indian, because I think other groups would have been much more inclusive even if they were the majority. Indians just want to have their neighborhood and school and social circle be India in America and I don't get it.


I agree. Their country is way messed up, now they want New India here.


Funny, when my parents showed up from India in 1976, they felt the same way. Except they had no place to go where they could be the majority. Your neighbors probably refused to associate with you because they (correctly) sensed that you are a racist.

I was so close to telling her how much another place was so much better, that she was overpaying, that if she knew anything about her subject matter as she pretended, she would know......as I thought everyone did....

I could not believe how impressed she was with herself and how she expected others to be uninformed and as uneducated as her. She kept repeating herself as if that would make it more true, yet it did not. ITA - STFU!

We. Don't. Care. More than you would ever know!

You lose out by judging others and thinking you are better informed. You are not. Really.



Maybe she bought a resale which (if she likes traveling to the same place) is not a bad deal.

Loud talkers, especially loud metro talkers. STFU. No one wants to hear you. Go pee on your bushes at home if you need to mark your territory.

Because only the wealthy benefit from freedom? Many a poor person has died doing many jobs that the wealthy choose not to do. What would you suggest as an alternative? Communism?


Which poor people benefited from the freedom we won in Vietnam? Korea? Iraq Wars I and II? How did our "liberating" help anyone there, or or returning soldiers here? Which wealthy people and corporations (excuse me, they're people now, too. I always forget) benefitted from the above? Tell me about the profits of the bomb and helicopter and chemical companies. How about Halliburton? Xe, or whatever they're calling themselves now? I'm actually one of the people who is grateful to the people who serve, but let's not pretend like any of our recent forays have done much in the way of protecting our "freedoms," okay, Cheney?

And communism? If we really had a problem with it, one would think we wouldn't let China own all our debt.


Amen, Sister!

+1000 and well said. I certainly didn't "sleep better at night" when we invaded Iraq.

Jesus Christ. You can't feed the ones you have. You're setting yourself and your children up for failure. Go to Planned Parenthood on your day off. Get the pill. Take it.


I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, but I totally agree with this!
