For information about who i am, not so that you could use my children to insult me.

It's Captain, not retard, i know you don't have any kind of respect for ranks or even truth, but some of us do.

We're known as adults.

Another good thing about being in the Military is that there are good people who got your back wherever you go. :)

Take our streets back from the thugs and urban gangsters.

However, speaking with a different dialect should NOT be a crime.

OP is racist.

Not dialect...talking 'gangsta'...

Are you one of these idiots?

didnt CA try to get people to teach ebonics in school claiming it was a dialect or some crap

ebonics is a dialect, rooted in history no less so than Anglo-Saxon derivations of old, middle, and modern English.

FYI: ebonics is not "gangsta talk." It's very similar to a lot of the Caribbean forms of English adopted by the indigenous populations. One who discredits ebonics as a dialect really has no business speaking modern English, as the etymology of the two is practically the same.

A lot of people have adopted terms from ebonics to use in their daily talk, such as "ax." Belittling someone's cultural history is pretty lame, to be honest. you can sit here and say "WTF? 'ax' isn't a fucking word! what a dumbshit ignorant asshole to talk like that!" In fact, the ignorant asshole is the person belittling them for reflecting a strongly native cultural history.

I'm not saying that everyone who uses such terms do it b/c they want to acknowledge this history, but the history is there. Also not saying it should be offered as a second language in schools, but it should be presented as one. A part of history, something cultural that very few minorities are exposed to in our system.

We don't, but as i wrote earlier and as ANYONE who has ever been involved in any military operation we hurry and wait, that is standard procedure, you should also note that the time in Afghanistan is not the same as your time, i know this is hard to grasp but it really isn't.

All day is two hours where you are at?

Gotta be fucking cold since you're obviously in the Arctic.

That black man you post pics of, is he the one who gives you a reach around?

Pissing on the Military isn't all that wise.

Way I see it these types of people are costing us in one way or another, may as well minimize it by throwing them in jail or sticking them on an island.

I think anyone on foodstamps or welfare with any car modification also should be shot on site.

Just my thoughts if I were running things.

For the same reason some albino twats take pictures of their fat upper bodies in the mirror and post them on the internet?

And people down on their luck needing foodstamps or welfare for a while are better people than you will ever be.

oh look at me i'm british i am so enlightened oh your americans are so dumb blah blah blah i have a stick up my ass

I don't think you could be more of an embarrassment to whatever country/culture you cling to if you tried.

Truth. Nearly all words in the language are either corruptions of "proper" English from the past, slang words that were eventually accepted into the language, or loan words. English itself has its roots in a "barbarian" language. It's nice to have an agreed upon language or dialect for the sake of clear communication, but that doesn't mean anyone should look down on other manners of speech.
