When in (USA), do as the (US) do!

[SirFshAlot]

Why do some people of differing cultures than the predominant never figure out that when they move into a neighborhood, and no one elso in the cul-de-sac hangs all their laundry on the front fence, that maybe it's not really the thing to do?

Or that parking their car on their front lawn and playing circus music loud enough to be heard 200 ft. away, when no else around the neighborhood does, might not help them fit in?

Is it merely a cultural thing to be conscientious? i.e. Do some cultures not adhere to giving a sh*t about your neighbor, and how your behavior affects others?

<giggle> at least they don't have their undies hanging on the fence too.

 

[WatermelonBonkers]

freakin' Pike-ees

 

[Adul]

Carnies!!!:Q Run for the hills!

at least they don't have their undies hanging on the fence too.

but my therapy is helping me a little at a time

SirFshAlot, where are these people from?

<< SirFshAlot, where are these people from? >>



I'll give you one guess. And the first three don't count.

They are the same way around here, SFA...at least 99% of them. I live NEAR Park City(Trailer Home Heaven)...

 

[Vincent]

What's wrong with being different? Why does it threaten you?

 

[SirFshAlot]

where are these people from?

latino

is that significant?

 

[thereds]

Just curious thats all.

Regarding significance, no.

 

[Paulson]

So lock up your stereo to something, turn on some heavy crap, put it as loud as you can, then leave.

(make sure the thing's locked up though!)

 

[SirFshAlot]

Why does it threaten you?

where did the word &quot;threaten&quot; creep in?

music that penetrates the walls of my house to the point that it is heard over a DVD that I am watching with my own Home Theatre system turned up inside my house is an intrusion, IMO

people are different

does being tolerant towards differences include accepting outright inconsiderate behaviors?

 

[Stark]

As Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder once sang:
&quot;That's what cops are for&quot;

 

[SirFshAlot]

So lock up your stereo to something, turn on some heavy crap, put it as loud as you can, then leave

my god, Paulson, will you ever get it?

 

[Gunther]

If they have the music that loud call the cops, I know I would.

 

[Mikal]

Can't we all get along? Can't we come together as a nation and go forth as brothers and sisters?

(Oh, if they piss you off, just start shooting.)

 

[Atom Ant]

Loud music should hide the pellet gun sound. Maybe even a 22. I'd use the undies as targets and get a bigger stereo, point the speakers at them and blast some Richie Blackmore at them. Paintball guns would work nicely also. Especially if you can get your hands on some of the old oilbase cattel marking balls.

 

[Whisper]

That's not culture, it's just rudeness, plain and simple. Some people are just inconsiderate of others. Such is life.

Edit: Though I will say that what really irks me is not knowing the language of the country that you live in. Sure, I don't have any problem with accents, with people trying to learn a language and having a bit of a hard time, etc...at least they're putting an effort in. But if you just don't give a flying sh#t, then I don't feel others should have to accomodate your lack of motivation. But that's just me
