It's manned mainly by Mexicans. All kidding aside however, maybe that Chinese restaurant you speak about is actually Vietnamese. The French were hunkered down in Vietnam for a long spell, before the Americans. That would "possibly" explain the name? Vietnamese cuisine has some distinct French influence to it. Myrl Jeffcoat |

It is interesting to see how once proper terms have become politically incorrect. correct. My wife worked for a while in a "school for the trainable mentally retarded", but you can't used the terms retarded or mentaly retarded. It is correct to refer to them as "developmentally delayed" , At the turn of the previous century they were called idiots, a medical term for what later became metally retarded. Slightly higer on the scale of intelligence were imbeciles and morons. As people started using those words in the perjorative they fell out of favour. |

It is easy for people to assume racism when they are racist themselves. It is much like people who lie a lot jumping to the conclusion that others are lying. They do it so much themselves they assume that others do it too. |

The words seem to lose favor and suddenly they're mean and ugly? When we were kids it wasn't a crime to say "colored" then came "black" then that fell out of favor and now anything short of "African-American'is the term, whether someone actually comes from Africa or America is beside the point? So it does get confusing yet isn't necessarily prejudiced, mean or ugly. If it isn't being said with a hateful intent, is it hateful? Or just a different era of language? |

It depends on who's using the words, and in what way. A real president needs to choose his words VERY CAREFULLY, especially when referring to a part of the world where lots of people make a hobby of hating us. How many times did you vote for Bush? If twice, how did you rationalize your mistake the second time? |

Do you ever proofread what you write or does it ease your conscience to quickly click the "send" button once you've spewed your nonsense? If you ever get out beyond your front yard, watch and listen. You'd be amazed at what's going on around you without ever having to open your mouth. Oh. Wait.

Another possible warning or confusion is the little Hispanic restaurant called "El Dinero". My dictionary lists dinero as money, which you will doubtless need :-) :-) There is a quite decent Thai place called the Thai Tanic, the "Full Key" Chinese restaurants don't take reservations and the Temperance Hall restaurant serves hard liquor (the theme is speak-easy).

But when you're talking yard-wide pizzas (which undoubtedly contribute to yard-wide pizza eaters), imagine the cost of extra toppings. Adding those jalapeños is going to cost you another ten bucks. -- Blinky Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org Blinky: http://blinkynet.net |
