See and I don't get that? We were raised to always be polite and nice to people even if we didn't want to be but then they'd scream and yell when if we didn't yell at some creeper.

As a someone who used to work in humanitarian aid, I cannot praise your comment enough. You're totally right.

My mom thinks Mexicans speak Mexican.

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the American Airlines programming complete NBC overkill. I get that NBC has to pander to the blandest of bland (hello Jay Leno!) because their comedy is supposed to target mainstream America. But it's just...bleh. Around hour 2 or 3 of the flight, I just want to scream,…

A good chunk of them were British colonies so I'm sure a lot of people in Africa already know how to speak English ANYWAY!

I remember reading a story about a girl in Ohio whose father died on 9/11. She hadn't spoken a word until...she saw President Bush and ran right up to him and jumped into his arms.

Careful. My sister went out on a date with a guy who was in his late 50s. Right off the bat, he let her know that he'd been unemployed for a year (his LinkedIn profile says otherwise), he wasn't independently wealthy, and he lived with his sister.
