| Zappykins said: Yes, there are places, say in most of Texas, where if you say you are a vegeterian you can get into trouble and assalted or run out of town. Even Oprah Winfrey got sued by the state of Texas for saying 'with mad cow, maybe you shouldn't eat meat.' It's like peeing on their religiion while sacraficing 10 babies to satan while rollerblading in a pink tutu- that's how upset they get. That was the attitude for most gay peole about 10-20 years ago. They they realized out things like they could buy a house, and the one half family might take it if one died, and leave the other homless. Paying extra taxes a married couple wouldn't have to pay, adopting children together, not being allowed to see you dying loved on in the hospital - those kind of things they you are protected from if you are married. True True! "Chinese government would love it if more people went gay, there would be less babies and less problem with the massive population. :P" The would is so crowded sometimes I think we should promoto homosexuality! But ha ha, it doesn't work like that. |
Yeah, not trying to offend anyone at all, but "the South" in most places, in my observation is often a bit "nuts". Even here in China. People in the south, some minorities and weird people eat dogs, sacrificing animals(Taoism?) and other strange stuff. And look at southern Europe with Spain and their bull fighting and what not, and southern USA with well, just say Texas. :P Gunlaws, NRA and all that stuff. I met a Swedish oldish fellow(around 50 years old) before. He worked as a teacher in Texas in the 1970s(I think?), and he told me once he went to a restaurant and they refused to serve a black family food, and more or less kicked them out. And he said he had never seen anything like this working in Canada or Sweden.
Haha yes, praise the homos! :P
But I actually met a guy from Texas last week here in Beijing, and his American accent was nothing like the typical hillbilly/southern accent that we see on TV/movies, more like a New York accent to me. I was very surprised! But he told me that from the bigger citites in Texas most people don't have a broad accent. I was a bit disappointed. :'(
It's fun to talk to people from all around the world, you learn so much. :)
