That was, I think, the very first thing someone had to say to me when I moved to Hungary and they learned I was American :P

My grandma was an Old Eastern European lady and she was super paranoid about gypsies >_<

Glad you've found a solution. :)

8) THANKS MAN. but i need to let you know that apparently i am mean, anti-american, and ageist, which are things i just learned from a commenter today.

There's an Obama beach in Japan and the residents of that town were super psyched when he won.

I bet you are a blast at parties.

like that tim allen movie where the kid names himself spider pee, or something?

As an icelander, I can appreciate this rule more than the average American, I think. Icelandic names have to be conjugated according to how they are being used. Were my name Anna, for example, I would introduce myself as Anna but if I were giving someone a gift it would be from Onnu. Additionally, we're a pretty rabid…

this is the best story on the internet

I was wondering how somebody could conjugate a noun and kind of was like, whatever I guess in Icelandic you can. Could you explain the differences because I haven't even heard of "declining" a noun unless I'm like, declining celery.

I feel like it's worth mentioning that the judge in Tennessee who ordered a baby's name changed from "Messiah" to "Martin" (because only Jesus Christ can be called Messiah) had her ruling very quickly overturned, lost her job, and was publicly censured by a judicial review board that unanimously found her decision…

Minor point: you conjugate verbs, and decline nouns.

On the other hand, I bet there's no baby Adolf Hitlers in Iceland.

Oh yeah. It was horrible. He just wanted some fresh pasta and a side salad, with some cobbler and nice bread. THIS WAS CHILD ABUSE.

"Some kids are brats, it's okay to say."

Well, I agree 100% there. We are lucky with my niece. Unlike her dad and me when we were kids she eats almost everything. She loves veggies and fruit. She can go through an entire bag of apples in a couple of days. And on top of that she begs us to let her run on the treadmill.…

It's so transparent. It is so blatantly obvious what they mean. It is embarrassing and fucking infuriating that they have a national platform to play cutesy-dumb with their words when what they really mean is "IDK who this uppity bitch thinks she is trying to tell me what to do". The utter disrespect for a woman…

There's a difference between a kid not liking a couple of foods (or certain food prepared certain ways). It's another thing that a kid doesn't like anything beyond pizza and chicken nuggets. And the later is the problem most people are talking about, not the former.

I also think it's because she's "educated" and FOX's audience still comes from the mindset that "educated Blacks" are something to be feared. They find her intelligence threatening.

I've had children in the tween ages come over and ask if I could make them pizza/fries/chicken nuggets - after I've prepared a meal for them that they don't "like" because they've never tasted any of it before. And I've had teenagers do that, too, when spending the night for the first time here. I laugh and tell them…

That's PRECISELY the coded meaning, and nobody seems to be calling anyone out for being a racist little shit. I am really red over this.
