This is simply my take on some of the different things I have been learning about Muggles. I learn most of it from speaking to some of you, but I have also learned quite a bit in school ( Read more... )

I don't know what to say other than this made me swoon and applaud, and it's just text on a screen. But god damn, finally, someone said it. All of it. I say all the time to my fiance, "Wonder how well it would go over if we had White Entertainment Television?" HA. Can you imagine? *shakes head* Thank you for posting this :)

Oh, I'm copying it into my LJ with credit to you (without a link, as I don't want you mobbed). If that isn't alright, tell me and I'll remove it immediately.

I would toss you a pair but I don't wear them so I can't give what I don't have. *grin*
However,
I don't live in the states but we have our fair share of political correctness and stuff, so much so that I am beginning to wonder if I am being biased against my black shoes if I wear my blue ones.
Should I wear one black and one blue so that it is equal rights...yeah thats it.

(Oh and blame Rai for me even seeing this hehe...love ya Rai.)

Plausible deniability is how it works. People will just vote to get the voting over with, won't care who they vote for and then when he gets his claws into our wallets, that's when they say, "Wait a minute, I didn't vote for him..."

Welcome to America, where we treat other countries better than our own.

good points all. the 'minorities' are becoming more powerful than the 'majorities'. I blame the ability to sue, myself.

Race is a tricky issue to deal with. Sure, lots of crime is racial, but there is the oither side too; black people beating up white people, as opposed to the other way round, which also happens.

As for tax breaks, that is incredibly unfair. I'm not even going into uni. topup fees, and truant 'rewards'. *screams with frustration* i hate Labour.

I believe that if you are selling me a butterbeer, a magazine, the Daily Prophet, or a hotel room, you must do it in English. As a matter of fact, if you want to be a British citizen, you should have to speak English, especially when you're in public.
I don't think just because you were not born in the country, you should be qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, and if you plan on switching countries, don't bring over your old beliefs. I don't give a damn who you worship, what you eat at dinner, or how many paces you walk behind your husband, but when you're in public, associating with the real world, get the blanket off of your face and show your bloody ankles.Then perhaps this country known as America should stop claiming to be a 'melting pot ( ... )

First of all, I sincerely hope that you realise every one of your moot points was made completely irrelevant by the fact you posted anonymously. If you truly believed everything you said was righteous and true, you would have the nerve to sign your name. However, you've left me nothing but this rambling, incoherent load of tosh that you happened to spew all over your keyboard.

I suppose I will start off by asking - Am I American?

No, I am not. The vast majority of people who comment here are however, so isn't it just a tad bit funny that they all happen to agree with everything I've said? Each of these complaints have come from them. I don't live in America, I've never even been, and I have no interest to go. In fact, I've never left the Wizarding World, and I don't intend to.

"It's a rather modern idea isn't it? Most people don't bother wanting to learn past their own culture--what truer form of ignorance is there?"

I can name one.

I've been viewing this silently for awhile now, but that post alone, due to the sheer awesomeness of it, has inspired me to friend you.

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything, except perhaps numbers.

very very true!!

It doesn't take an entire village to raise a child correctly, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little arse when necessary, not to mention saying NO.

LOL!! if only more adults read your journal, I wouldn't have to be stuck with little brats at toy stores!!
