[I can't stand that.When you open the door to put something in,and there's crusty nasty stuff all over,yuck.] A dirty mop. [Yuck.Thats just nasty.Why mop,if your mop head is grungy? I soak mine in bleach. I'm not a clean freak,I wish I was,but mopping with a dirty mop head seems to defeat the purpose of mopping.] People dropping off their kids at school,and the kids aren't near ready to GET OUT. [school drop off zones are quite well orchestrated.A to G and H to Z.{depending on your last name}But invariably,theres always a bunch of lag asses,whose kids aren't anywhere near ready to get out,and hold up the line.They must be finishing their science projects or something equally important.I'm not talking about say,a 45 second delay,but more like the 3-4 minuet delays.While traffic backs up,and you are blocking the road,waiting your turn to drop your little darlings off.Get the fuck out of the line,if your kids aren't ready to get out.] |

(Uncle L, I'm talking to you. I'm sorry your depression and low self-esteem causes you to believe that I think you're stupid and unworthy of respect. Let me assure you that I am not being rude or condescending when I ask you to clarify your definition of a word you use incorrectly. I am just trying to figure out what you're trying to say.) 5.

bastards. I AM A PRINCESS. and I am slightly inebriated. Yay. Whooie. |
silly kiwi! ha! |
the terms Native-American, African-American, Etc. Why subject yourself to further class/race identification. Who cares what color you are? Are you not American? Regaurdless of color, nation your ancestors emigrated from? Is not anyone born in America considered Native? |
|
i've heard a lot of native americans say they prefer the term indian. "i've always been an indian, that was the word we always used." sort of like the way i dislike terms like "differently abled" or whatever. i find arguing over terminology more annoying than helpful. besides, people from india aren't indians. they are bharati from the country bharat. |

2.Itchy Skin 3.Angry people 4.War - the most pointless annoying thing ever and lots more but im tired |
Based on those categories I would be Native Canadian (Blackfoot tribe), Irish American, German American, Scottish American, Italian American. Kinda confusing. |
I also say anyone born in the north or south american continents or nearby islands can claim to be a Native-American. In my own personal opinion; the claim to the exclusive use of this designation, by the politically correct members of our society, for those who's ancestors crossed the bearring striaght on foot as opposed to all others born here is an affront to the rest of us born in this part of the world. It is an insult. And, as such I believe that the ACLU should initiate a law suit against this designation. Just like they have done against school systems for their use of American Indian mascots. |

Hmm, with regards the whole -if you were born in America does it make you a native american? debate I dont think it does 'cos otherwise you could say that the rabbit population of Australia is native, when it was introduced there by settlers. But then I got confused so checked it out in the dictionary, and it says a lot of stuff about native, but most of all it says you can be considered native if you were born there like most of you, AND if you were 'found' there as in the case of Red Indians so no real clear verdict really! (Native -belonging by birth; haVING A RIGHT BY BIRTH; born or originating in the place; belonging to the people originally or at the time of discovery inhabiting the country..) |
They didn't originate here. They crossed the Berring Straight. Scientists have not found any remains of a Homo Sapian related species that originated in the Americas. Our ancesters all came from some place else. And, if you really want to take it back far enough... it looks like all human life originated in Africa. So human beings are not indigenous anywhere but Africa. |
So, I am a Native-German-Fuzzy-American |
is the fertile cresent in Africa? I thought it was in the Middle East |
the tigris and euphrates are (is?) the fertile crescent, isn't it? and yes, it's in the middle east. i love saying "peoplezzz." |
I'm talking about the current fossil record. |
the fertile crescent refers to agricultural development. |
I guess that's "native" cuz I wuz born in Appalacia...it don't git no more A-Merry-Kan den dat. (oh I should mention that my almost PhD is in American and British Twentieth Century Literature and my gawd, are those folks confused as to who they are...); and that besides teaching an occasional college lit or writing opr business course just for jollies, it's a great ecumencial degree for being a therapist who thinks that most therapy is bull crap. Cz, you'll always be my Native Princess regardless of that swampwater in yur veins... And Sarah will >always< be from Hawaaiaaiii, regardless of her midwestern roots...and Sem will always be of the dirt, rock and land no matter where...and Droop will always be an impressively successful triathlete of the spirit in my book...and Nate the wonderfully funny and sometimes nasty sarcasm king despite his wonderfully shy and mild mannered temperament, and ... so what is a disablity? a skin color? a religious preference? a geographic socio cultural epithet? I moved from Sunset Hills (one of the richest suburbs in StLouis) to Jefferson COunty (one of the most pickup-truck-on-blocks-in-your-front-yard suburbs...) and the discrimination is evident all the way from the state's insurance ratings for the county, to my college sons's friends raised eyebrows as "oh, you live in JC?" This holidaze, be kind even to assholes. We are who we are. Gladly, thankfully. O Brother Where Art Thou? |

For instance: You go into a Subway. You order a sandwich. They ask you what you want on it because they make it your way, which is quite nice of them. Then you get to end and your sandwich is wrapped and put in a plastic bag. Right next to the register is an assortment of other crap that basically kisses your face it's so glaringly THERE. But you just want the sandwich. Yet every time you get ready to pay the person asks you (in a robotic voice indicative of a memorized script), "Would like any cookies or chips with that?" "No thank-you." "Would you like a cup of our fresh soup?" "No thank-you." "You can get a value meal and save money on both chips and a soft drink." (a whole 45 cent difference) "Um, N-O." Corporate Upselling - Pet Peeve #1. As for the whole heritage thing: I like to consider myself the dark sludge left over on the bottom of a reused bock barrel. Not because my skin's dark, just because there so many ingredients and mixtures that the only recognizable elements left are a high alcohol content and a stubborn cohesiveness. But on government forms I usually skip over the pre-selected categories and write in "Martian." |
i make a killer vegan gravy with the soy sauce and the nutritional yeast but mastery of the bacon fat variety eludes me. |
I'm not, nor have I ever been, a vegetarian. |

Heritage is a funny thing. I'm reading Confederates in the Attic now and it's a real thought provoker, especially in light of my recent discovery of confederates in my own attic, so to speak (great-great- and greatx3 grandfathers on my grandma's side). I'm pretty weird as far as that goes. By blood, I'm (east to west) Cherokee-Irish-Scots-Welsh-English-Dutch-German-Polish-Lithuanian Jew. By culture, I bear bits of my dad's southern heritage (even though he's tried very hard to discardit all) and bits of my mom's Polish-Jewish upbringing, and a lot of Yooper (native of the Upper Peninsula= U.P.=yoo-pee (ha!)=yooper). I think that most Native Americans prefer either Native American or Indian, if you must insist on the generic term. They would like it best if you referred to them using their nationality (Cherokee, Ho-Chunk, Anishanabee, Lakota, Salish, etc). Aborigine for some reason has negative connotations and it is not generally accepted for use. Also, native Americans is fine to describe all of us who were born here, but not Native Americans with a capital "n". I can still put that anthro degree to use. |
