Nothing really.  I do take umbrage at his manner of expressing his opinion.  He is tactless at best and his further explanation and clarification makes him seem more prejudiced and ignorant.  Are you offended by my umbrage?

Exactly. Eh, what a world we live in where so little can offend so many...

Prejudiced and ignorant? No no no my dear Watson. Just fed up and respectful to my forefathers. I can see why it confuses u so, they are very similar sounding words.  ::) The fact that ur pulling the race card just furture proves that u completely miss the mark of what I'm saying.

Tactless champion wins again. Umbrage.

I won't wade in further, but I never understood why 'Ignorant' is the first word most people turn to in these situations.
Ignorant of what?

Ignorant of decorum, lacking any manners.  I sincerely doubt Sexy Poot would make the below comments in public and besides, ignorant was my second word.  My first word was prejudiced.  Sexy Poot started by insulting the sound of a language (spoken proudly by about half a billion people) in a most vulgar, disrespectful fashion then proceeded to invoke the last refuge of the scoundrel (patriotism) to explain and justify his opinion.  In any case, there seems to be an implication that my comments are more controversial than Sexy Poot's.  If you feel that way then it will be impossible for us to communicate.  I certainly have as much right to state what I have stated as Sexy Poot does.  In any case, I speak intelligently and precisely in both English and Spanish.  My opinion is that the auditory pleasantness or unpleasantness of a language has more to do with the speaker of the language than the language itself.  If Sexy Poot's post are anything to go by I imagine his spoken English is comparable to oral and rectal excretions.

Cool design. Too bad its written the worst language in the world. Maybe ill get it if it ends up on Riptapparel or Teefury.

Its the equivalent of throwing up sound-wise. Does that make any sense? Its the best way I can explain it   :D

Just English. More and more everyday its being pushed to speak Spanish here and I'm being forced to change so that others who refuse to learn English can be more comfortable. Its both a mix of taking a stand against those kind of people and the whole sounding like shit thing I spoke of earlier.

I didn't mention race- I think you're projecting.

This dude still going on?  ???

 The next time u buy a brand new shiny Thesaurus, put it to better use than the forums of an Alien and Predator fan-site. Using big words on the internet to sound better just makes u sound desperate to impress. Spanish sounds like shit to me. It doesn't to u. U don't like it? Well there's the exit button. (Points to exit button). End of discussion.

P.S. A bunch of people play soccer but that doesn't make it suck any less, ya dig?  :-*

At least it appears grammatically correct and doesn't leave out complete words - unlike your posts.

This is a delusion created by racism. Either that or total stupidity. Probably both, because you clearly have no concept that both Spanish and English have a lot in common and often sound similar or have very similar words for the same thing. They are also both derived in part from Latin. To pretend Spanish is some sort of gibberish that sounds like throwing up just makes you sound really uncultured.

Quote
"More and more everyday its being pushed to speak Spanish here"

It's printed with a quote from the damn movie. And for that matter I'm white in New York. No one is being pushed to say anything, let alone a different language. You live in Jersey and you say this? LOL.

Quote
"I'm being forced to change so that others who refuse to learn English can be more comfortable. "

This is a delusion created by racism. I'm white as the day is long in the US encountering Mexicans and other Spanish people on a near-daily basis. None of them are making me learn a damn thing.

You're acting like a bigoted racist without realizing it. Of course you're offending people.

Quote
"Prejudiced and ignorant?"

Yes

Quote
"Just fed up and respectful to my forefathers."
If you are referring to your direct ancestors, I can't question your forefathers, but if you were referring to our Founding Fathers, do note they gladly accepted aid supplied by the Spanish who also declared war against the British.

"The fact that ur pulling the race card just furture proves that u completely miss the mark of what I'm saying."

You are pretty delusional if you think anyone pulled a race card here except you. You insulted an entire race of people as well as their language. You got exactly the kind of response you deserved.

"Spanish sounds like shit to me. It doesn't to u. U don't like it? Well there's the exit button. (Points to exit button). End of discussion."

Yes, you are a racist who is too stupid to realize it. End of discussion.

I'd implore the forum moderators to delete this trashbag of a thread if not "hit the exit button" on this kid's account, because I'm sure it has disgusted more people than just me. I would expect the community to also not be so passive as to allow only one guy to argue against this clearly racist person who turned a thread about a cool shirt into a massive train wreck. This is absolutely the last place we need any discussion on racism. It's a forum revolving around killer aliens from space, express your dislike but do it in a way that isn't so obviously freaking insulting.

Topic locked. Regardless of intentions, things have got heated and this is only going to end up one way...

I'd like to remind everyone to try and treat others on the forum like you'd speak to them in real life. If you think it might lead to a fight/argument - even if you said it with honesty in mind - then it's best to rephrase before pressing 'post'.
