Let's stay on topic. The main point here is the fact that some Puerto Ricans might receive a government check because they don't speak English. I don't speak Spanish, French, German, or Italian. That makes me disabled in a way if I visit parts of NYC, LA, or Miami. so I think maybe I should be compensated. :roll: :lol: :lol:


Lol ok got it damn. That's ridiculous.

So? What are you? An English teacher? Any other claims to fame?

They also participate in the Powerball which my backasswards state does not. So I help pay for education for Florida kids when I'm there which is about once a month. :lol: :lol:

If you were able to judge English composition, you would comprehend the concept of a "chat-room". So, to enlighten you, correspondence is normally done in the vernacular. Now, get back on your high horse and ride off into the sunset.

"my backasswards state does not"

That puts you in Mississippi or Alabama (I've lived in Alabama, so in some respects, but not all, confirmed), as the other five that do not participate in Powerball couldn't be described as "backasswards" (with perhaps the exception of Idaho) nor traditionally considered "Southeast."

Also, anywhere is not "nowhere." Everybody's got to be somewhere. Why not tell us the state, so we can come after you?

"So I help pay for education for Florida kids..."

How generous of you. If only you could help educate the governor.

"my backasswards state does not" br br ... (show quote)


My listed location "Southeast of Disorder" is not meant to define a geographic region. Southeast can be used to describe a direction. I actually borrowed the phrase from one of my favorite songs. As far as "come after you" what the hell is that supposed to mean. Since you're the one playing Columbo you figure it out detective. :roll:
