Language Barrier

[McKenna]

I've seen bumper stickers that say things like, "Welcome to America, NOW SPEAK ENGLISH!!" and "If you don't like it, LEAVE!" I have decided that I'm not leaving. You know why? Because my plan is to convert and repopulate America with the kind of people who wouldn't be caught dead with those kinds of bumper stickers on their vehicles. One by one, congregation by congregation, until WE outnumber THEM and the majority of America is populated by ex-xenophobes and the like. Then our bumper stickers will say something like, "Welkom! Bienvenido! Benvenuto! Dobrodoshli! Dobro došli!"

I think for now, however, I'll just get one of these:

Welcome to Bonny Scotland.

I don't think you did it intentionally, no, but still, you did it.

I disagree.

There were two qualifications to EmeraldKitten's original post. One about not being discriminatory and one about hoping no one was offended.

If I say "I don't mean to offend any black people here..." What's coming?

If you know enough to add qualifications, don't tell me you don't know what you're saying/writing or how it might/will be taken.

Just be an asshole, it's okay... everyone is allowed to be an asshole.

I know what you mean. I tell my students that if they need to start with "Not to be disrespectful, Miss..." it's probably best left unsaid.

The Latins will beat you to it. Our master plan is to do it with a higher baby count.

It'll be a better world... latin sexuality makes discrimination an unnatural state.

I can't discriminate 'cause they might have a cute sister, cousin, niece... mom.

I did say repopulate didn't I? My plan to repopulate means interracial marriages so that all that latin sexuality gets passed on. And on. And on. And on.

Nobody gets the last one, but everyone loves the Coexist one, even here at Conservative U. I haven't heard people comment one way or another on the 'Freethinkers' one.

Actually wait.

I looked at it closer and, turns out, I lied.

I own v. 1.0:

Slightly different, no gender symbols, but same general feel.

It's the thought that counts.

No thoughts on counting tonight....
