makes sense to me. most of my family chose to forget their "heritage" and BECOME AMERICANS!! (in caps, just like that). there's good and bad points to it.
I talk shit about America, but I also talk shit about other places, I just happen to live here, and man... I think that complaining about it is my right and privilege. I don't particularly complain about the place, I just complain about people in general, as a group. I don't think that anyone with half a brain finds my complaining too annoying, since it's usually pretty damn supported and justified. I don't see how the fact that my nationality is different deprives me from being able to complain a tad.
Redyelruc, I know exactly what you mean by complaining emmigrants! Tenerife is flooded with English emmigrants (I am one too, though I've lived in Spain most of my life) and all they do is moan and moan about how shit this wondeful place is. It REALLY gets under my skin. In many aspects, Tenerifian infra structure is much better than English, so is pretty much everthing else. I find it almost impossible to moan about Spain, especially whilst comparing to the rest of the world. The other day, I was waiting for the bus with this girl I hardly ever talk to, she was just there, so I was talking to her. Then the bus came and everyone went up to it and she was like, 'Why can't everyone line up, like in England? You don't get things like this back in England, Spanish should start being like the English blah blah blah!' I mean, COME ON!! What a petty thing to moan about! Bus lines! I was so close to just saying 'Yes, darling why don't you move back to that grey concrete council estate you crawled out of, and stop giving me a headache, eh??' You have made me rant, Redyelruc! Thats a lot of angry word right there
well that explains how you speak such good English, I wondered. You look a bit Spanish too though, so I thought you were just $UPER SMART
Man. Once I got lost in NYC and I tried getting a ride with cabs and carriages hahaha. but no one spoke english.
