I was complemented on being able to articulate my thoughts well and I thought I would offer why, to the person who complemented me, I thought this might be so, because I've spent time thinking about these issues and its something I'm passionate enough about to spend the rest of my life studying and perhaps working in a field that deals with these issues. So A) Not even directed at you and in no way intending to make you feel bad. B) I never called you a "crazy teen from the US that has all day to argue" you just called yourself. So I would appreciate if you didn't try and put words in my mouth. C) Your sarcasm and I quote "on other news people stay tuned in my pm for more arguments you may place bets on who will win the famous Voxx who's a law major or the crazy teen from the US that has all day to argue I'm not sure who will win but let's stay tuned back to you thread maker! :tardlol" is unappreciated. If you want to be taken seriously, sarcasm isn't going to work. So, I'm not going to bother even debating with you. As I mentioned earlier, all opinions are equal and everyone is allowed to have an opinion both you and me, I am not going to begrudge you your opinion, you are more than welcome to have it. My issue is that I don't respond well to people who use sarcasm as a defense mechanism, because personally, in my opinion it's a sign of ignorance. I don't care if we have differing opinions, that's great. That's what makes the word interesting! It's what makes people either reaffirm their beliefs or change them accordingly as they learn new things.B However, as mention by the mod, if you get offended easily, maybe you shouldn't post here. I have no intention on trying to start a fight, but what you're saying is being disrespectful by mocking what I've chosen to pursue a career in the rest of my life. Furthermore, I made my comments with respect, which I even said. So, I will not be posting on this thread because I don't trust myself enough as, "the famous Voxx who's a law major" to not say something that will, inevitably I'm sure, offend you. Peace. 1. I called myself the crazy teenager its not like I was trying to put words in your mouth! 2. I ain't trying to be taken seriously like you I laugh at practically everything an I'm always the one to joke 3. I KNOW YOUR ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION 4. When you specifically replied to what I posted that is what pissed me off because I felt trampled over and how you laughed at the end made me feel like my opinion didn't mean anything and that I was stupid I felt it was rude and immature of you 5. And fucking good because you dont wanna argue with me because I got all damn day and I can make my heart cold! 6. I know your entitled to your opinion but damn girl you don't gotta make others who are like family feel like their being attacked my dad always says "it's not what you say it's how you say it" so remember that cause if you keep pissing people off your gonna me one lonely girl I don't think you understood a thing of what I just said. And I think you're taking this very seriously, beyond what is actually necessary and rational. Like I said, I'm not going to engage in this. It's pointless to try, or even want to for that matter, fight with people over the internet, and, actually it's rather juvenile because people tend to hide behind the anonymity of the internet. If you want to keep personally attacking me, then please, by all means, be my guest. It actually doesn't bother me in the slightest. And, thanks for the concern, but I'm not worried about being lonely. As stated previously, peace.

☠ (R.I.P) † Return Is Possible † Posts: 3,121 Group: Senior Members Member #7,705 Joined: October 13, 2011	I was thinking about the immigrnat situation and moods towards them. I need to say that when I was a kid and I mean in age 10 or less, there was a lot of immigrant from Russia and Romania in Polend. I don't remeber people acting strange towards them. Kids were acting cool with their kids. It seemed like they belonged with us. I never heard bad word about those people. What is more when a new doctor came to our hospital, everybody felt intrigued, he was from North Africa and believe you me he was the first non-white human I ever seen. I don't remeber his name but all old ladies loved him and young people as well. He was kind and funny, no body ever said anything bad about him, I liked him he was speaking funny. You know Polish spach with some accent I don't know maybe my world whan I was a child was much better than the world my boy has to live in, now?

I often wonder about that too, but maybe it only SEEMS that way because we didn't read newspapers or follow the news through other media when we were only 10. I know I didn't at that time and the world seemed a lot less complicated.

I know I didn't at that time and the world seemed a lot less complicated. I know what you mean. We see world differently when we are kids but still, I don't think I was so exposed to the racist commenets the way my son is now. He is not expEriencing it personaly but he can hear other people being called 'names'. He asked me the other day what 'niger' means and I was just terrified, how could a five year old could be exposed to words like that in school?! I just don't get it, the teacher just said he must have just hear it wrong, and that was it. I never heard that word till I was something about 12, and I heard it only in the TV.
