"stupid American tourists" means "those American tourists who are stupid" -- how can it mean that they are putting down all Americans?

The other problem that occurs is the fact that we often somehow equate intellectual opinions with personal character. This is a very slippery slope. While I'm reasonably certain that nobody here would profess that cannibalism is a good practice, short of that extreme there aren't a lot of opinions that make people inherently "good" or "bad". For example, I know people - people whom I cherish as friends - on both sides of the abortion issue. And that's about as personal and moral a question as you can get.

If you don't want to communicate, for gods sake shut up.
I thought he was using it in the sense of "don't worry about it."Originally posted by Joe Pluta:
The phrase "Forget about it" is itself a colloquialism which means many things, but in this context, it means "the chances of me complying with your wishes are very slim."

1.well well, you get welfare if you are out of Job. h1 visa holders get sh&*.
2. When you retire you get your social security contributions back.
Consultants contribute for Social security and get sh#@ back.
3. If you are out of Job you can work in the holy lands of Burger king, McDonalds etc. Consultants if they are out of job for 2 or more months are kicked and deported the hell out of this country.
4. You can work multiple jobs at a time and make more money which is your right as a citizen. consultatns either have to work with the same company or get the hell out of this country.
5. State government pays your health insurance if you cannot afford one (I know this for a fact cause i know plenty of people in New York). well consultants are doomed for good if they cannot afford one.
6. Chicks dig american citizens . Chicks also normal people discriminate against consultants. Fact of new york city. Have seen enough racism over here but not complaining, good always over rides bad. After 9/11 those suspicious terrorist looks majorly in airports (LOL).
those are just top of my head.

Don't argue with me about how to speak my language, or else I'll show you what colloquial really looks like.
And THAT, Holmes, is the straight shizzit.

So from now on I am going to try to be more willing to accept that perhaps I did not perfectly translate the outer message. So when someone refers to "stupid American tourists" I will try not to immediately assume that they are putting down all Americans.

How does India manage to creep into just about every single thread in this forum?

Okay, I didn't wanted to hijack this thread, so let me add this - If 'American w*nkers' is perfectly acceptable usage in English language, so is the 'Indian Visa abusers' and both are harmless. Otherwise, both are equally derogatory, and thats my opinion.
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs. |
