Todd is gonna beat you up Eric

I think it is more of a British thing than and Indian thing IMO. And I am of Indian background.

Dad's English, can confirm. Seeing as India was part of the British Empire until fairly recently it's not surprising at all.

Todd is gonna beat you up Eric

With all the drugs he is on maybe. (Lung/stomach/intestine issue) But he hasn't been a marine for many years.
I've been nothing but polite and nice to him in person and on here. Yes I enjoy picking on people and such, but you Oliver know I'm down to lend and hand when someone is having an issue.

Call me what you want, but I think Todd is a raciest person. This country is a melting pot of all the world's cultures. Words much less used by the current bay area working society are an easy pointer to the person's culture, they were raised in. When my friend Gary uses the words colour or analyse then I tell him he is letting his Canadian side out.

When I go to so call and use "hella" my cousins laugh at me and call me a nor-cal kid.

Word usage changes with the part of the world you are in. Shall just happens to be one that has faded from the US-non-legal vocabulary.

Where as "will" has not.

I have no desire to talk about this further.

On a happier lighter note. Tonight will be fun.
My friend and I turn 31 a week apart so we are celebrating together.

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

Just watched Wargames for the first time 2 weeks ago.

I love the director's humor

LOL - you don't know anything about me. And it's Marine.

melting pot

I hate the term "melting pot".

So everyone goes into a pot, gets melted together, and loses what made them unique, and comes out as a uniform substance/thing as everyone else?


I think Salad Bowl is more appropriate. We are all special and unique, as a salad can still be separated into it's ingredients. A melting pot can not be reverse engineered once heat is applied.


I don't even know why I'm saying any of this.

[toddness]

cuz this is the grammar forum....i like the thought process behind this.

Racist.

Socal.

Our use of language isn't meant as a means of judging one's origin, it's just a means of communicating. Quirks are fun to point out, to tease about, and shan't be taken so literally. It gets hella annoying after a while. So let it go guys ;)
