We specialize in poor taste,
I figure a mid-teen girl, plucked out of the Orient and dropped in the US, watching TV news, along with the cautions all parents give teen daughters, was probably pretty nervous here. Usually mid-teen girls don't get to do much exploring outside of where they're living and no way to counter the TV news paranoia. I seem to remember her saying something about Mexican toughs in her area too. Given all that, she has a warped perspective of the US and never had a real chance (and maybe not desire) to sample the freedoms we cherish or understand having them is worth the trouble that can come with them.

Why do you torture yourself by reading my posts, ali? I don't usually read yours as I had my fill of self-righteous nuns in high school.
BTW--you've the personality of dry toast. You're a boring, moralizing drag, ali. That's a sin worse than most in my book. Now, off with you, harpy. Go bother the nudists or something.

I don't think we should coddle the young 'uns, or call them on their age (EXCEPT for NSFW). When they come here, they ought to expect to be treated like everyone else--which I think they do.

Sure, but if I think they are spouting shit, they don't get a pass. If they want to play here they get treated like everyone else.... except you lovely ladies of course. You know I'd never disagree with you.

I actually stopped coming here for a while because of duck_duck's crap. It wasn't worth dodging her self righteous blather to try to read the worthier posts written by people with life experience enough to justify an attempt at telling me how it really is. Her posts reminded me a WHOLE LOT of this saying: "Teenagers: move out NOW, while you still know everything and are smarter than your parents!" |

So much analysis of ducky.
But it still doesn't make her posts less incredulous and less degrading of American society. I'm not apologizing. She won't be either. Btw, did she get banned? I read "when she comes back" a few posts above mine. |

She flitted off to Hong Kong with the family -- and her posts turned weird.

She lost her Dad in the process if I remember correctly. That could be a big part of the problem.

I mentioned that by way of an explanation (to UG) for her change of attitude. Her Mom is probably poisoning her relationship with her Dad and the States. Oh and fuck you you touchy bitch. Does it really hurt you to understand other people?

Not to drag this to the top of the pile again, but Bri, aren't you being a little harsh? Frankly lately I feel like you've been a little quick on the bitch trigger. At least give her the benefit of the doubt that maybe her world is currently all fucked up (most of us have been there a time or 12) and her views are a little skewed. Losing my dad when I was 21 still effects me now and then 10 years later. A little golden rule never hurt anyone.
