I guess I can see where you're coming from. It just pissed me off because the owners made a final offer which I think was 5 million less than the players wanted. They were soooooo close....

I guess the plus side is that the little amount of hockey memorabilia I have is gonna be worth a lil' somethin'.

JANK (Juh-ank) adj- Word stemming from alabama which means stupid, or making no sense in ones point of view.
;) :D :cool:

oh so that's a redneck word from Alabama.

i honestly couldnt give a shit if the nhl complegtely collapsed now ..

i used to watch hocky all the time .. i'm fed up with it now.

Not necessarily a "REDNECK" word. Actually, it is an Alabama "HOOD" word.

''redneck'' ''hood'', they're both the same thing just a racial or lifestyle difference that's all.

Not really. Rednecks use sawed off shotguns, Hoods use pistols.......................................BIG difference.;)

please don't nobody get mad at that ^^^^^. I wuz just bein funny.;)

''don't nobody'' you are southern lol.

ANYBODY................Don't anybody. There ya go. Is at better soundin'?;)

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT ......

hey I'm in New Orleans, we say stuff like ''who dat say dey gon beat dem Saint's''

Yeah kinda sad really but there are some folks down here that kinda think that way. Personally I think it's fucking ignorant to think so though.


Not one of them.


Yeah actually this does piss me off, NOT everyone in the south is a redneck and you are fucking ignorant if you think that way.

Rednecks aren't just in the south they are everywhere, they are known as white trash.

Yeah it's really obvious, kinda funny to.


I say "Pee-Can"



Ok I have a question for people in the north.

Do you get offended by someone calling you a Yankee?



And here is a question to people from California.

Do you get offended if someone thinks that everyone from Califorinia is either an idiot or a homo?


The only culture issues I really have a problem with are these.

If you move to the United States from another country, IE:
Mexico, Middle East, Asia etc, etc, etc....

1. learn to speak ENGLISH, if you wanna speak your language that's fine but learn to speak ours also...I wouldn't move to your country and not learn the language you speak.

2. Pay your goddamn taxes, I work my ass of and pay my taxes you should have to also.

3. Get fucking auto insurance!!!


:D Damn right I'm from the south, and proud of it :p

:D Now if i can just get shanks, zwoti and cheeba to answer, i will feel complete.


I have yet to see anyone up here get mad about being called a Yankee. Christ, they have "Yankee" magazine up here...


The funny thing is, i get irritated at people calling me a new englander or saying that i am "from" new Hampshire. It's true, i have lived here almost 13 years, but i never really integrated into the world up here. Everyone says "wicked" to mean "really" or "very", i never have. i never adopted an accent, so i have never really fit in completely here. Probably why im such a shut-in :D

ohhh buddy you have no idea !!

in my last job i worked with a team of engineers ..all from mainland china.

they barely spoke english and would speak mandarin in the office constantly.
I could go 3 weeks before anyone would say a damn thing to me.

The asian population in toronto is greater than the 'white' population.

I love the food and some of the culture it brings to the city, but i hate the way thse people segregate themselves. There is no desire to participate as a canadian - instead they create the environment they are used to around them.

Not everyone - but enough to be plainly noticable.

like kpro said .. if i was in Hong Kong or China for work i'd be learning cantonese or mandarin as fast as possible to integrate with the community i'm working in ...

much more rewarding that way..

Vod wern't you an Air Force brat and moved all over alot as a child? Wouldn't that make you sort of a cultural mutt?:D


Ok here's a few questions for other cultures?

I'll add one more to the UK questions.

Are some brits still pissed that Britain lost the revolutionary war?




Asians

1. If you are from Japan are you pissed that the U.S. dropped not one but 2 atomic bombs on Japan?

2. Do you get offended by the generalization that all asians have tiny dicks?


Mexicans

1. Do you get offended by everyone thinking that all Mexicans
live in a trailer with thirty other Mexicans?


Middle Easteners

1. Do you get offended by people thinking that everyone from the middle east is a terrorist?

does anyone even care about canadians ?

There were almost 2 pages of canandian talks :)


Yeah, kpro, that is how i have always seen it. I am from everywhere. I was born in california, but i have lived in germany a full 3rd o fmy life (2 different occasions), and lived in washington and indiana.

A big problem i had with a lot of people i met from other countries was that they would insist that in their country you had to do things their way, because it was their culture (and often had no respect for ours). Those same people in the opposite setting would refusde to make any changes, claiming they were holding on to their culture..... :rolleyes:


People suck the world over....

Urge, we have a similar issue with the company i work for. There is one particular guy who uses his "inexperience" with english as an excuse to skirt policies. He has been in this country for almost a decade, and actually understands you just fine until you tell him something he doesnt want to hear. Then he gets a really stupid look on his face and his ability to understand english fades away.

i see that happen to a lot of people ..
even ones that were born here and spoke english all their lives :)

I couldn't really think of any questions to ask you Cannucks that Vod hadn't already asked... :D


But I know what you are talking about with the language thing...

The Mexican popultaion is really huge here in the south, and we have "little mexico" trailer parks and such all over here...And they seperate themselves also...

Back when I used to climb trees for a living I had a few mexicans that worked on my crew as groundmen, and none of them could speak a lick of english, and it could have been dangerous for them also....I mean how in the fuck am I supposed to tell someone that can't understand english they better watch out cause I'm fixing to cut the top out of this 100 foot white oak tree and they better not be in the way or they are gonna get seriously fucked up?

many people don tknow this - but for 2 years Kpro was a professional monkey :D

Hey, i learned German when i lived in Germany.

Isnt it interesting that "Politically correctness" has managed to segregate people in this country? Everyone is allowed to do or say what ever they want, because they are different.

You cant say anything bad to or about anyone if they arent a white male. We, on the other hand, are in the line o ffire for everything. "You guys had it too good for too long."

ReallY? We did? Where is my million dollar house and porsche then? If i have to endure the jokes and bullshit, i may as well get the perks that my "White Dude" card affords me.

That being said, racists and skinheads are just pissed off that they really really really want to have sex with mexican/asian/black homosexual jews, but are afraid that they will come off as a little less manly if they admit to it.

Actually it was seven years lol:p

whites definately dont hold a monopoly on racism but holy shit we were quite the leaders for a huge part of this worlds short history.

the pendulum has swung the other way and now we dont like it..

Call me a bleeding heart but i cant feel too bad about and descrimination shown towards me ...
not until the day someone throws a net over me .. takes me to the other side of the world and makes me work for free .. only to possibly lynch my ass if i'm ever given my freedom.

i know it was a long time ago by other people .. but the effects are still being felt today ...

Seriously - i dont feel too hard done by ..

7 years of dropping trees on mexican guys ?

you just cant buy job satisfaction like that !!


(that was a joke kids ... i know 2 mexicans .. played volleyball with one and he was a super guy - and my friend is married to the other and she is smart and beautiful)

My wife is half-mexican.. you bastard :D


Kpro:

Crazy Badass Chainsaw weilding Monkey man:

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

LOL no never dropped anything on anyone, but I did watch a buddy of mine cut a huge ass limb on an oak tree the wrong way and it came back and crushed both of his calves...Trust me it wasn't a pretty sight.


Personally I have no problems with anyone of any cultures, I think the difference in cultures makes the world an interesting place, I mean if we were all alike the world would get pretty boring.


My only beefs are mainly about moving here to the U.S.,
I.E.: Learn english, pay your taxes, and get auto insurrance.

I agree. The funny thing is, the people in this world who want everyone else to be like them are the most humorless, snotty assholes on earth.

and make a fucking attempt to appreciate the place you moved to ..
it had to be better than the place you left - or you wouldnt be here !!!

LMFAO :D HAHAHAHAHAHA that's awesome

Glad you like it :D

Yeah I would have to agree with that also.

i sure hope so - you of all people :D

Actually, i have seen quite a few people (more from india than anywhere) that move to America and make a ton o fmoney, then move back to their home country. Cant say i blame them. if i had to move someplace i didnt particularly care for for a short period of time to make a shitload of cash, i may do it...

:D


Something else that pisses me off is that people think that everyone that likes NASCAR is a redneck hick....:mad:

They arent? :D


In my defense, everyone in New Hampshire IS a redneck who loves Nascar, so you can understand my confusion :D

LOL my point exactly obviously everyone else loves nascar so much that they are taking away our races from the south to make more dates for races out west and up north...

I mean damn they took away both of the races from Rockingham North Carolina, and another one from Darlington SC to make dates for races at tracks out west and up north, and I used to go to just about every race at both tracks, grrr...

You strike me as thekind of person who likes the fresh air, beer, and thrill of watching the race, rather than someone who keeps their fingers crossed that someone is going to lose a tire and blow up.

Am i right?

Of course I am:D

But I do like to see wrecks and people blowing up, especially if it involves Jeff Gordon or Jimmy Johnson.:p
