The same could be said of you, do you realize that?
When did i say that i was courteous? i didn't. however, you asserted you still have inklings of courtesy, but i encourage you to reflect on whether that was actually true. you are proving my statement by the way.

Whichever is shown in the mass media in a negative light. It could be just about all of the above. =.= This is where generalizations stem from. =/

I wish it wasn't so. I've been able in recent years to speak with lots of different people without referring to slurs, and treat them as humans, which we all are (unless you truely are an alien from outer space, in which case i greet you and hope you enjoy your stay on Earth, don't feed the humans, they bite and kill. :p ).

edit : lol, i just read the above and see that Keet playfully presented himself as an alien without my self knowing beforehand, goes to show!


:P :)

BTW, what do you think of the current remake of the series V?

I don't watch TV much, unless it's for news about actualities. =/

And obviously, if i do so, it's mostly during dinner at night, and mostly because my parents (who own the house, naturally) have the legitimate right to watch it, therefore imposing it on me. And they watch mostly french shows, so i doubt you'd enjoy talking about something you have little to no idea about. o.O

Wait, this is kind of what you asked me, isn't it ? ^^; and for the record, i have very little idea of what V is, but i might have a hunch...
