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.
LOL, sorry, I didn't know you were in Afghanistan.

It's British Air Force and it's Captain Retard. He corrected me above.

Keep pissing on us in Afghanistan, we expect nothing less from someone who can't even get a pic of a white guy he can pretend to be.

You know, working out and running will help more than fake pictures.

Oh but what's this...

Dude, we are already discussing that pic.

What do you look like tulip?

You realize I posted those pics originally right?

I look like every other asian...the same:p I'm overweight, with stubby vienna sausage fingers. I slightly resemble the Michelin man and I also love Starcraft! OMG ZERRRRRG!

I know you and John were talking about the pic of the guy with the tanned back to the camera, but I don't see how that person is the same as the person I linked in the ??? link. If it is you in the tanned pic, well done man. Can you help me!? I love Pringles and Noodles while I OMG ZERG RUSH NOOBS! :)

it's called camera exposure. The whiter pic was taken in an all white room by a crappy cam...I was washed out. The other was in a darker room and underexposed. Also my hair was slightly wet as well.

Like I said I will post another shot similar to the back one only with different exposure.

Nice you admit you are a coward to post their pic though....good game.

Apparently failing is part of black "culture". No joke.

And, if we call them on their behavior ? we so racist!

That about wraps it up.

I like how you conveniently forget trailer trash white people because you're not racist at all.

I suppose the reason for that is that you ARE white trash.

I like how you conveniently forgot this thread is about minorities who talk gangsta.

And remember, there's nothing racial about how they choose to talk. It's nurture, not nature, make no mistake. I'd call any white guy on it just 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.

so ebonics includes going and getting a gat and your peoples to kill someone? How about stole dat shit?

Please pay attention.

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

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.

Holy crap! the Jesus-on-Dinosaurs brigade gets my back on the ebonics bit. Peace, brutha

Problem is that you didn't call "any white guy" on it.

It's racial bullshit on your behalf whether you realise it or not and i stand firm with my statement.

I read it...I said nothing about ebonics here and the way you have worded you reply was that I am mistaking ebonics for being a gangster.

That is not the case and there are enough people pulling this in all directions.

Alkemyst relax. I don't even know you, how are you going to take what I say to heart? It's the internet, where people talk shit. I never called you a coward. If you want to see what I look like, just look at any other Asian guy on the street - not lying. We're cookie cutter. Besides my vienna sausage fingers don't work with cameras; my stubby fingers always get in the way of the lens and what not.

I am not that built, but it's funny how unbelieving you are.

Weren't you special forces too? You claimed to be in one thread like SOG or something.
