A Latin Temper

Do you know anyone who has one? Do you think that you have a latin temper? Just by the way I talk in here, how would you describe my temperment?

 

hmmm what exactly is a latin temper???


bellfire, i dont see you have a bad temper at all...just kinda doin your own thing, if you get pissed, oh well

 

I'm usually pretty mellow, but I have my explosive moments.

 

What's the difference between a latin temper and an afican-american temper?

 

I forgot short and quick temper. I don't know I guess when people are Spanish, Italian, Portugese, or French, they just sound sexier with their temper. I think that African Americans and Whites don't have the flair I guess. (I never here she has a white temper.)

 

That is idiotic, I have found European and Latin people to have a much less violent temper than Americans.

 

I'm sorry I didn't think Latin temper ment violent I thought it just meant hot and kind of sexy.

Please forgive the ugly American

 

and no fair trying to upset me during the post.

 

i come from a full-italian family. we all have REALLY short tempers and we all bitch at each other a lot.

 

I'm Sicilian. We're like Italians cept we don't yell, we just stare at each other and think about where to bury the bodies.

 

Most people don't have a latin temper, they're just assholes.

 

I'm not really sure why but I think I love you.

 

latin temper is not the worst one to have, I know of one that runs in the blood of a certain nationality thats way worse than any temper

 

I am Italian, Irish, French, and English. My temper is just as confusing as trying to imagine all that in one lil' person.

One minute I could spit fire and the next I could start crying and be all loveable. Then I want a beer and some spaghetti. Medication doesn't help.

I voted good natured. You don't really phase me as having a temper.

 

well thank you.

 

i don't know you, bellfire, so i can't judge your temper. i imagine that you are a little emotional, like us all.


as for a "Latin Temper"... um...

I think temperments have ceased to be ethincally specific. That stereotype is encouraged when the most vocal and visible members of any ethnic group act out. Suddenly, that becomes the standard for every member of that group.

I'm mostly Irish, and I can be tempermental and occasionally drunk, but I am not playing a part in some kind of hereditary script. Temperment is more a product of your environment and upbringing. Nurture not Nature in this instance.
