Something I hate about TAs......

Is that so many of them have this insular, provincial mindset and talk to the people here without taking into account that this is a GLOBAL community. How many times have I seen TAs post about peculiarities and idiosyncracies of their respective country as if it were the absolute truth for everyone in the world.I think it's sickening. I don't want to point fingers, but people from a certain island tend to do it on a bigger scale than everyone else. Hey, I'm an islander as well, I can relate. Also, the citizens from a certain sole superpower are no saints either. I'm a citizen of that country too .

I just wanted to point out that there's a world out there, and people are different everywhere. It's good to find common ground, but even more important is to respect and understand those differences, which is the reason I love the Dutch and Canadians!

yet half the people on TA would need a dictionary to understand what you're saying

lol, that's true. sorry about that. see, we are all baaaaad

there's a lot of languages on this board so if you can't keep up then why blame other people?

Posted by whiskers on Oct-09-2003 22:10:

political correctness can suck my ass and so can all the politically correct people.

we're way past that, just like Technaughty said

if you're offended by something, then, probably, the problem might be in you. or sometimes you just have to learn to ignore people's stupidity.

p.s. visit some 'less global' forums and see how much political correctness THOSE have...

Posted by Pio on Oct-09-2003 22:17:

it doesn't have anything to do with language or political correctness, NOTHING! it has to do with knowing who's the recepient of your message and whether he can understand your regionalisms and such. i could find millions of examples of this if i cared to look but i just don't give a shit anymore

I spin disco house, there are over 150 people at my usual parties and most of them tell me how bad trance music sucks.

this is a troll of course. but many people will use these kinds of region-based arguments to discredit something they don't like. most people on this board have never been to philly and know nothing about the scene there, so using it as an argument is very narrow minded.

i'd much rather see people post honestly than be worried about offending someone. you're always going to piss someone off and it might be me for pussyfooting around on eggshells. be your damn self, people's idiosyncracies are interesting and i love to see another side of things.

Well welcome to a forum...if u think ur gonna find a community without stupid or narrow minded people, its obvious u dont get out much. At least here people can be honest about watever they say...Id rather swallow the whole truth rather than listen to sum candy covered bullshit. Im new here and all but...at least i know whenever i post or make a thread i realize there is a chance im gonna attract a group of flamers. Its a given!

P.S - Arent most of the things u hear that are offensive, narrow minded and stupid anyway?

i do get out much. that's the problem! i've lived in 3 different continents during the last 8 months. my point is that people need to see that there's a world out there! don't you get it???? GLOBAL! This is an open global scene thanks to the Net, we can't be restricted by regionalisms.

Is dat so geezery hof em ave dis insular, provincial mindset hand talk to da people in da house wivout takin into account dat dis is a GLOBAL community. How geezery times ave me seun TAs post about peculiarities hand idiosyncracies hof their respective country as if it were da absolute truf fer everyone in da wales.me think it's sickening. me don't want to point fingers, but people from a certain isturf tend to do it on a bigga scale 'dan everyone else. Hey, me is an islanda as well, me can relate. Also, da citizens from a certain sole superpowa is no saints either. me is a citizun hof dat country too .

me just wanted to point out dat there's a wales out there, hand people is different everywear. It's good to check common ground, but evun more important is to respect hand understhand those differences, which is da reason me dig da Dutch hand Canadians. Boyakasha!

*puts da joint away*

I think to be clear, you must be more specific. Or instead of putting the joint away, pass it. Maybe if you shared with us, it would all make sense.

Ok, I don't like North Koreans, Iraqis, French, or any member of the Dallas Cowboys. Anyone disagree?
You know the old joke, opinions like a-holes and everybody's got one...
