I'm at work and too lazy to follow the link, but I felt sorry for this sad little thread with no replies.

So, what is a Hybrid-American? Are they petrol/electric? Do they drink Pepsi and Coke? Demublicans and Repocrats?

The opposite of a hybrid something is a pure something. Since America is a country and neither a bloodline nor a continent, there cannot be any such thing as a pure American.

You might think that American Indians are pure and they are. Pure North American.

When someone says they are pure, they are telling you in a nice way that you are polluted.

How are the American Indians pure if they came from Asia?

We all came from the horn of Africa.

HungLikeJesus 03-13-2009 10:24 AM

But what about before that?

glatt 03-13-2009 10:29 AM

Well, the Martians came down and had sex with our monkey ancestors, and we were born. That's also where the AIDS came from. It's a Martian virus.

I liked the earth better before all you slimy, organic things started crawling or swimming or flying all over it. Back when it was pure.

When you could take it for granite.

... or that. I'm tellin ya its the ancient aliens

The only good "pure" things are water and air and food. And I suppose one could make an argument for mathematics being a "pure" science.

People are better if they're polluted, like muts. Besides, it would be reeeeally boring being "pure..."

HungLikeJesus 03-13-2009 07:00 PM

Pure food? Like purified sugar? What's pure food?


Edit: I understand pure water (H2O), but I don't know what you mean by pure air, since air is a mixture of N2, O2, Argon, and a bunch of other stuff.

sugarpop 03-13-2009 08:57 PM

I meant pure as in free of toxins. Same with food. It was sloppy writing. sorry. *blush*

Pie 03-13-2009 09:28 PM

Define 'toxin'. Many things that are absolutely necessary for health can also kill you.

I need to know if glatt was telling the truth.
