b) you haven't really made any specific criticisms against the OP.

No, thank you for playing. If you're standing by the tripe you put up there, then defend this part of the criticism in terms of a complaint about illegal immigrants:

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

I haven't "spoken" at all in this thread.

You forgot the word coherently at the end of the sentence.

shhhhh.....Creo que el no puede hablar espanol don't confuse him. Wait dammit. I forgot a was a xenophobe. I guess I should forget how to speak spanish.

[KrazyHorse]

So do you:

a) admit that you misused the word "elocution" because you wanted to look edumuhcated or

b) want to defend your use of that word in this context

c) want to avoid the issue

Damnit Kaak! You're ruining the picture he painted of you! Stop it now!

Actually, I can (in a very mediocre way)

If you'd bothered to read one of my posts on the first page it mentioned that fact.

omg....how dumb are you? Reposting something in a pretty little quote box doesn't count as making specific criticism against it. and once again, the OP was meant to be humorous.

Do you guys think he just ignores the parts of this thread that make him look foolish, or do you think he is just pretending they don't exist?

Speaking Spanish doesn't mean that you're not a xenophobe.

Most of English Canada speaks French in some way or another. A lot of them still manage to be anti-french xenophobes.

and the trip to mexico? kind of illogical for a xenophobe to go plant themselves on an island of those they are unreasonable afraid of, eh?

(i'm not even talking about the 40+ other times I've been to mexico)

I think that the people who saw your first post as anything other than an attempt to share something comedic and also relevant to today's headlines.....sees what they want to see, and nothing more.

This, sadly, is a too-common occurance these days, and again, I apologize on their behalf.

Everything doesn't have to be a political crusade. Everything doesn't have to be a witch hunt. You can FORCE it, sure, but what's the point?

Like I said. Modern day, holier-than-thou Puritans.

Posted by me, immediately prior to the last thing I quoted myself as posting

I especially love how that ever-so-clever satire manages to completely ignore the existence of a large number of legal Hispanic residents in the US and the fact that these people might be the ones Spanish-language services are maintained for.

And neither does posting the "OP", KH. Neither does posting the "OP".

But that didn't stop you from saying it, true?

(quotes around OP cos we all know that's not what it is)

I think it's one of the few opportunities he gets to convince himself he's valliant or intelligent, even if it doesn't appear that way to anyone else.

[KrazyHorse]

I'm sorry that I expected you to be able to put those two things together, Kaak.

I forgot: satire raises no serious issues, and is therefore immune from criticism.

I'm sorry, but who defined it a satire or is that simply the only explanation you can possibly comprehend. Perhaps it was mockery of the anit-illegal immigrant cause or do you have intimate knowledge of the authors intent. Your ignorant racist uncle perhaps?
