What IS it with people these days? I used to think it was AMERICANS who
were ruder and more amoral; now all I'm seeing is bunches of online
overseas pirates.

You're online, bozo; go BUY the things from any one of the many vendors
online.

The rules are contained in three volumes of 200 pages each. Now how do

It is strange. Not to be xenophobic (I hate xenophobes) or anything, but
there does seem to be a lot of people from other countries asking for
the rules illegally.

Actually, I wouldn't call MM a rules volume. It's just stuff to be used
along with the rules in the other two.

Hmm, babelfish's massacre of that statement: ( I mean, uh, translation)

Nobody is going trasmettervi the rules here poichè makes to have had all

Nah, you're certainly not expressing the veiws of a bigot here. If your
contention was that there certainly have been a lot of Wops, Limeys and
sheep-raping New Zealanders who were trying to Jew us by riping off us
decent white Americans, at that point you'd be out of line.

Oh right...

What's a "wop"? And also, where does "limey" come from? Also, do New
Zealanders rape sheep?

I believe it comes from the old British sailors' practice of eating limes to

Actually, a wop, as it were, originally denoted any illegal alien, its exact
definition is "WithOut Papers"
since statistics show that the largest group that has illegals in it is Italian,
(no im not a bigot, just quoting facts) the term has changed to specifically
target Italians

You're, ah, a little behind the times, you know? And I don't just mean
in a PC way... AT THE TIME that the word came into "vogue", this WAS
true. Today... Well... I see lots of illegals, and few if any of them
are Italian...

And I live in a state with a very large Italian population...

Actually, the number of Italians and other Southern Europeans greatly outstrips the
number of other illegals, including Hispanics and Asians

This does run counter to normal logic, but the fact is that these illegals blend in
much easier than their non-european counterparts. The reason for this is simple: They
look more like the average protestant redneck that lives in suburbia

No more so than others' stereotypes. For example, the New Zealand
stereotype is Australian in origin. Americans don't have a stereotype for
New Zealanders--not enough contact/conflict.

Funnily enough, really ages ago (on my tenth birthday I think) there was
a feature on this weird magazine comedy Sunday morning programme about
these New Zealanders who bite the penises off sheep and cooked them! I
felt sick for the rest of the day...

I would change one thing about this post, Change has, to "had" since the
largest number of illegal immigrants to north america is no longer
Italian, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it is now asian.

Asians? Mexicans and other Latin Americans are the largest group of
illegals in the US. Border patrol is a growth industry in Texas, NM,
Arizona, and California.

Those who would wish to turn such figures into a racist debate should
note that Italians are now amongst the most affluent demographics in
the US. The Poles are another case in point, and the Irish are the
ubiquitious American success story. In the 18th century southern
plantation owners used Irish indentured labor to fix cotton gins, a
deadly job, because slaves were too valuable to waste. Two centuries
later, we can count several Irishmen as past Presidents....

The aforementioned Mexicans are commonly reviled as being lazy,
shiftless, and dirty. Being a Texan, I can attest to the fact that
they are the hardest working people I have ever met, and dont doubt at
all that their children or grandchildren will repeat the common
American immigrant success story.

This has been way of topic, but had to say it.

Um, if you want to group asian together then I suspect that it's Europeans....

Asians are a less homogenous group than Europeans, consider the reaction if you
call a Frenchman a German....

(If you mean one of the asian countries is ahead of Italy but you can't remember
which one it's a different thing)
