More misguided ideas about language I'm tired of hearing
"The English language is in decline. Do you see how all these kids are writing in text speak?"
"The French language is in decline because people borrow too many English words, like 'le cheeseburger'."
"Spanish is not as advanced as English. For example, they don't have the verb 'to like,' so they have to say 'me gusta,' or 'it's pleasing to me.' Also, Spanish doesn't have as many vowels."
"If a language doesn't have a word for something, its speakers don't know what it is."
"English is more advanced than other languages because it's so easy for us to borrow words." (Actually, all languages borrow. And it's no easier, or harder, in English than in any other language.)
"If you have an accent, you can't speak the language properly."
"The British speak a purer form of English than people in America or Australia." Or, "People in Spain speak purer Spanish than people in Latin America."
"Language influences thought."
--I agree with all of these except the last one.. I do believe language influences thought. Like, some languages don't separate Mother from Aunt, because both are considered just as important to a child. There's an influence right there.--
Finally cracking into the #wine my sister bought me for #Christmas with the wine glasses I bought for myself as a gift!
I’m not going to spend anymore time on this because I actually have a job, and school work to do. and I know people of the internet do not actually want to be educated and tolerant of each other… You all prefer to be ignorant and spread it like a nasty disease.
So for those who choose not to be ignorant, I did ‘look it up’ for this asswipe.
Racism is as defined:
“1. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
2. Hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.”
If white is a race, then racism can occur against people of this race.
Oh and FYI to all you ignorant mofo’s that see my skin color and assume I’m ‘white’, you can suck it. I’m Native American (Cherokee to be exact) and Irish (which was not considered ‘white’ when they first got here, just like Italians and so on, mainly because they were poor and didn’t speak English, only the English were considered white at the time.) and there’s more Native American in me than anything else.
But don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind looking like my mother’s side of the family. Because my race doesn’t define me. I work hard and get the things in life I have and deserve because of my hard work.
and the fact that you are getting pissed at me for getting annoyed at people for being offended by something that doesn’t effect their race.. is pretty funny..
my skin color doesn’t define me.. why are you so tied to your’s? Getting all offended and pissed off whenever anyone does anything because they ‘must be against you’
It must be tiring to always be the victim and to have to search to start shit with people. Just so you can justify always being the victim.
Hating or stereotyping someone because of the color of their skin is racism.. It doesn’t matter what your race is.. you are still a racist.
And something that happened in the past that doesn’t affect you now is not justification for your racism.

I’m sorry, but when did Cinco de Mayo become a holiday for white people?
When did it become acceptable to don stereotypical sombreros and ponchos and mustaches and get shitfaced?
You can’t pay us slave wages, make fun of our accents, treat us like lesser human beings, mock us,…
wow… the racism on the site is overwhelmingly hilarious to me. Here’s a news flash… cinco de mayo isn’t a real holiday.. go down to Mexico and look around.. no one’s celebrating it.
It’s a holiday made up so people can have another excuse to drink themselves stupid.
It’s just like st. Patricks day… it’s not real… (but it is super funny that no one gets mad at ‘non-irish’ people for celebrating it….)
maybe you should get over how much you hate ‘white people’ because you’re all more racist than them by the way you’re acting…
A beautiful flower from the beautiful @mbrink22 to celebrate me getting published and the gallery show today! 😘

I feel as if this is a little juvenile… I mean really? you know that this is just going to spark anger in them and cause them to react negatively, so why are you giving them this chance? Why let them know that you even care about their existence at all? I think people should really stop wasting their time and energy on these people.

This can possibly be the most disrespectful photo on Tumblr. I am not saying that you have to agree with what the bible says, but to utilize that book ‘as a plate’ knowing what it means to people, is just plain disrespectful.
It’s sad that people are so full of anger when it comes to religion, that they would rather post photos like this than deal with their hostilities in a more appropriate way.
i’m sorry, i cant hear you over the sound of nOT BEING ABLE TO GET MARRIED BECAUSE OF THAT BOOK.
I agree that it’s a very disrespectful photo and act. Pizza is one of the most perfect foodforms in the world, it represents most of the nutrition pyramid, it’s delicious, it can be altered ad infinitum with toppings and seasonings to fit any taste.
To set it on such a vile shit of a book for microwaving is not only insulting to this food and the Italian People, but unsafe as the gilt in the binding and faux leather from which cheap xtians make their bibles will create electrical discharges and terrible odors, and may even result in a fire.
Pizza and Bible’s don’t mix. Just like history and bibles, morals and bibles, common sense and bibles, and decent people and bibles.
I’ve had this post sitting in my ‘drafts’ for awhile now… partly because I didn’t want to react out of anger.. but mostly because I hate to offend and be ‘that person’ but now… I really don’t care anymore.. I’m not here to make friends.
I no longer consider myself a ‘Christian’.. but this book isn’t the reason you ‘can’t get married’ and this book is chock full of morals, and common sense, and plenty of decent people read it. Also, there are plenty of other religions that don’t support gay marriage. In some countries (like South Korea), being gay isn’t even recognized as being possible.
It’s funny how all you ‘open-minded’ people who ‘support gay rights’ can’t support the beliefs of your fellow human beings…
Glad to know we’ve all evolved here.
