That's it. I'm giving up on the English language... Grammar is an all but lost concept.

Maybe I'll speak Chinese or Spanish from now on. It's funny how an uneducated farm working guy from Mexico can still use Spanish verbs and tense properly, but we (the most powerful and rich country in the world) can't seem to figure it out. You'd think that if Pablo (who can barely afford the clothes on his back) can figure it out in Spanish, those of us fortunate enough to own cars and technologically advanced communication devices (like computers and internet access) could figure it out for our own native languages.

And I didn't mean to make that sound racist. I actually mean it as a compliment to other cultures.

Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that at you, but it just seems to be progressively getting worse on these forums. It sounds like English wasn't your first language... And if that's the case (which I'm 90% certain it is, and I'm really really hoping), then no, I do not have a problem with your English.

I dont know if you've lived here enough to notice the large population of hispanics in Miami and thats the primary reason why hispanics dont learn the english language. Look at it this way imagine you lived in an area where more than half the population spoke your native language from hungary, would you find it totally necessary to learn english? Look at the hispanic population of other places like New York, they speak english just like any american and I'm not talking about people that immigrated yesterday but those who have lived here for a couple of years just like you. BTW I'm hispanic and i dont consider myself a websters dictionary but i can communicate pretty good, so please stick to the topic. Nothing i've said i meant in any harm i guess i didnt find it necessary to bring up this topic about races, languages or anything else.

Yeah, I was just mentioning how all people speak their native languages well, relative to Americans who can't speak English. Let's end my stupid threadjack. I apologize to all.

Beat a 1997 Mercury Cougar (205hp, 280ft.lbs), Infiniti G20, 2007 Dodge Charger 2.7liter, and a 1996 GTI. All of these were on a long-as-hell strip in front of stores, chilling with friends. I'm not kidding, this thing is awesome.

Killed by a 2006 STi and 2003 EVO IX.
