People are having racial identity crises more and more now-a-days and its pissing me off. Im Mexican-Canadian, I don't drive around throwing up gang signs and calling up my 'Vatos'. I act like a god damn Canadian, I speak proper english, not engrish.

Thats my $0.02...

First post!

Talon 66....you need to re-read the T.O.S. here. Language like that is NOT tolerated.

Not a good first impression to make. Keep it clean from here on out.

Phantom Cruiser

so...what is it, the fact that he's "repping canada"?

Roddimus Prime

something else I just noticed...."engRish" is japanese/english... "Spanglish" is mexican/english. Not a dis, just a correction!

Talon_66

I don't see anything wrong with my language in that post. Honestly I don't. I surf many forums and I see language like that or worse that is tolerated. If someone took it the wrong way, then Im sorry, but... Not my fault

Roddimus Prime

It is your fault...watch your language. this is NOT every other internet forum.

Talon_66

Ok, maybe YOU think my language is inappropriate. But if there was something wrong with what I said, Or the words I used your forums language fliter would have blocked the word out.

Did you get picked on a lot in School or something? Is that why are actting like a big man on the Internet?

PS. Nice Reference to Transformers, hot shot.

In case you didn't know wise-***, MY opinion of your language matters more than yours sice I'm a mod here. Lose your attitude, lose the language or find yourself a new forum. For a newbie you sure are stepping on a lot of toes. Not wise.

p.s. I act like a "big man" in person as well. The internet has nothing to do with my posts.

Talon_66

Well Im going to apologize because arguing over the internet is like making out with your sister.

And on a side note, I dont think I am stepping on anyone's toes other then yours. You seem to be the only one on this particular thread or this page who has said anything about me or has a problem with the way I post.

The language I used seems to have offended you which was not my goal. The world is not out to get you, just let it slide. And have yourself a good day.

I can attest to the fact that matty acts big in life as well as the internet. He's a scary dude. He's not tryin to be a jerk talon, those are just the rules on this forum. By the way, that's very observent of you to notice the transformers thing, since it's so obviously hidden from all but the most astute. PBTHHH!

And Matty, English isn't our native language, we brought it here when we brought the flu and guns and evil in general, but I do agree that today when the vast majority of the population speaks only english, everyone should speak it.

Talon_66

I know he isn't trying to be a jerk or anything. But I think the way he addressed the situation was a little off, thats what offended me. If I was sent a PM that said, "hey listen, watch the language, this is what u did wrong... blah blah blah, follow these rules. Welcome to the forum". I would have been less hostile. I guess this truly ISN'T like any other internet Forum

Anarchistchiken

Yeah it takes a little getting used to, but it's a good forum, even with Matty trying to stop everybodys fun

Roddimus Prime

I don't hide behind pm's. If I have something to say to someone I will say it openly so that other's will know whats going on. Now, some newbie can join this thread....see you saying "g.d." and see me jumping your butt. They will now know not to use foul language. Had I simply sent you a pm you and I could've argued in silent where no'one would have been the wiser. Not how I do things. If I have something to say I'll just say it.

Miller, agreed that we "took over" this country. We took this country over and now the american indians speak english. Through whatever ill means we've acquired this country and it is the english-speaking peoples country. NOW!! if anyone would like to come to live here they should understand...WE SPEAK ENGLISH HERE. In order to fit in you should also learn the native language.

When I was a foreign exchange student in Munich, Germany I had to pass a german language skills test before I could even be considered. I was FORCED to learn the language of THEIR land prior to even getting there. Despie the fact that Germans are taught ENGLISH from grade 3 on. Everyone speaks fluent english and they are very freindly when I struggled with the language.

THAT is how it's supposed to be!

p.s. one of my best friends is a mexican immagrant who applied for citizenship, learned english, got a job (chef), pays taxes, doesn't break laws, sends his family in Mexico money every week to help them live better, etc..... He is a stand-up guy and always puts others ahead of himself. Why can't everyone be that way?

Talon_66

Yeah, it will take sometime getting used too... I just signed up on this forum to get information and peoples experiences with the MSP, because Im thinking about buying one in the spring. Good thing I dont get this kinda treatment at a Dealership, or I know where Id be taking my business.

Talon_66

5 posts later and I have the answer! I said 'G.D.' Thats what I did wrong. Thanks for telling me ... 5 posts later. Anyways. I didn't really think that, that was a religious slur, its a common thing in todays society. Hell they say it on TV! Can't be all that bad.
