Ehm... shouldn't you just have said "Hispanics who move to the US and never learn any English at all"? It's clearly what you meant, so I don't see what would have been wrong with just having said that. It's unclear whether you'd be ok with having an unexpected accident and having to move to Latin America while still holding your right to never speak Spanish ever or not. I expect the best from you, so I think you meant ANYONE and everyone^_^, just that the majority of your annoyances involve the intricacies of the increasing Hispanic population, perhaps (and to prove how the definition of racism varies from person to person, getting offended by the rewarding of multiple toungue-speaking is VERY racist to me... as racist as it gets. Doesn't mean I don't like you anymore, though:D). Also, I'm not an employer, but I'd definitely pay more to people who spoke more languages than to monolinguists. I, for one, am offended as how richer monolinguists are than polyglots.
And I used to think being a polyglot was a GOOD thing, rather than a neutral or bad one. Then again, most of us polyglots are so because of necessity and privilege, so...
I was afraid someone would take it the wrong way, not that you did 100% though. Yes, Hispanics are the majority of residents in my area living here while not speaking the language, with various Eastern Asian nationals being a very close second. I do think being able to speak multiple languages proficiently is a very respectable accomplishment, but what I'm saying is that it annoys me when I work with someone who doesn't understand what I'm saying because he/she did not learn the language before emigrating from their country. Hell I'm more than willing to meet someone halfway if they know a good portion of the language but don't know a bunch of words, I (used to) speak some Japanese, German and Russian, and can still speak Spanish so I have no problem trying to meet someone halfway, but if the only words someone knows in English are "I don't speak English" and they reside in an English speaking nation, they need to learn the language promptly. If I were to move to a nation that spoke a different language than I do, I wouldn't expect them to have subtitles in English for me, nor should they.
Let me explain an example: 2 guys I work with are from Africa - 3 if you count my supervisor - one is from Uganda and the other from the Ivory Coast I believe, I don't know where my supervisor is from. They can speak pretty good English, but still struggle with some words, and I talk and hang out with them on lunch. I have no problem with them, but one guy from south of the border (I don't know where he is from) only knows VERY limited English, and he actually expects me to speak Spanish to him, (yes he actually said something along the lines of "Lo siento, no sé Inglés, por favor, hable en español.")
I imagine them coming out of the popping bubbles in the pan of Hamburger Helper that I am cooking, telling me I'm cooking it wrong, then hitting me with something.
Rancor was one of my favorite back in im "first tenure" as a Magic player. I pulled a few of those at the (pre)release (it was 10 years ago, I can't remember which).
I need to get me a few playsets of that. I wish they would reprint it, even as an uncommon, I wouldn't mind.
I'd like to echo The Pinsir's statement "Athiests with attitudes." I believe, I believe strongly, even though I'm not the best Christian. Quit going out of your way to tell me there is no God and why. I'm just trying to get on with my life, I suggest you do the same.
Also, people who don't use their turn signals, who cut ME off then give ME the finger (happened a few times), and people who CAN'T DRIVE IN THE RAIN! I live near Seattle. The roads are wet 300 days of the year (gross exaggeration). You'd think that people would know how to drive in the rain here. Nope. I sat in traffic for two hours yesterday. 16 accidents on I-5 Southbound between Seattle and Tacoma.
Thievery, habitual lying, racism.
Also, moving to a country with a different language and not being able to speak/read/write the new language sufficiently (the elderly I don't mind so much, and of course tourists don't count either). No, I shouldn't have to learn your language to communicate with you in my country. Also, I was searching for a job a while back and saw a listing that said "Spanish speaking preferred." That kind of offended me.
3 dots in a triangle (usually thicker dots) means 'Therefore' and is useful for mathematical notes.
EDIT: Wow that triangle totally failed
∴= Therefore
∵ = Because
⁂ = Asterism
∴ ∵ ⁂
Edit: Also, this - § - means 'section'. To type it, hold down ALT and type 0167 (use the keypad on the right of your keyboard).
To look up more symbols to use as shorthand or whatnot, go to your start menu, and then all programs > accessories > system tools : character map. Every symbol you could ever need is there.
I keep all the cards I get, mostly because I don't have a whole lot. If I need them, I use them, if not, I'll give them to a friend who starts playing or somesuch
I also would like to build a sideboard for this containing more red creatures, as I'm sure when round 2 starts with this deck, my opponent will no doubt be keen to the theme of the deck and be able to outmaneuver it, so to speak.
So what are good type 2 creatures I should have, especially ones that can deal non-combat damage?
Seriously though, I take one a day, although I do skip some days every now and then (away from home & heavily intoxicated for days at a time).
But considering the fact I shower 7 days a week, I only wash my hair every other day (unless I broke a good sweat at work) because I got long, really thick hair, and I'd run out of shampoo too often if I washed my hair every day.
I don't know if this guy wants a reality TV show or not for his actions, and he doesn't deserve one (the only good reality show is COPS).
And I swear, if I hear the words "John and Kate plus Eight" again, I'm going to punch somebody in the throat. WHO WITH A LIFE GIVES A RAT'S ASS‽‽‽‽‽
Speaking of, off the the bar for a burger and a beer before I have to go to bed.

and I got a timeshifted Ovinomancer.
All in all, not too bad.
