Jeez, I thought this thread was dead!!!
Yes, your right, I will come back with something like "Yeah, JJ? Well I thought this was an 'open' forum. Why don't you take your less than smart mouth somewhere else?" I might even add something derogatory like "Screw you and the horse you rode in on!"
I learned everything I wanted to know in the first handful of posts. (Now for the smart-ass generalization) It's people like you that incite me to continue. But you don't ask any useful or 'on point' questions. You just spew mindless drivel and challenge me to respond. Why, oh why would you want a Moderator (and there is one, BTW)? To hide behind when the responses to your juvenile challenge get to "heavy"?
Listen, I don't need some scholar like Miss Jane to help me read, but your synopsis tells me volumes about the person you are. Shallow and misdirected. Nobody said anything about DR (or this board) being the friendliest place on earth. I came here to learn something and, perhaps, contribute. But I have to navigate around the likes of you and JohnS to accomplish my goal.
Since your ability to absorb vast amounts of information is challenged, let me summarize this thread for you. White kids in the DR have it made, so long as they recognize their postion in their society and attempt to assimilate...ie go to the bilingual schools, learn the language, and be kind.
JohnS plowed a path through this board, made a bunch of nasty dust, and left. You are now on that same path. My altruistic side wants to advise you to back up and try another. But my inner self can't help but coin an old phrase: "Don't go away mad, just go away."
Or better yet, why don't you ride on down to the DR and "git some"? It might improve your demeanor. But don't look to me...I'd rather do the horse!!!!
Love and kisses. (Now, let's put this thread to bed...Moderator?)
