that actually reminds me of the joke of the "pinches tacos" ad that appeared online lately... lol
Technically some americans think that "pinches" means "little". in Mexico it has nothing to do with "little" and is more like an insult but also colloquial insult word to exaggerate something.

Both they United States and Canada are located on the North American Continent, therefore denial will not change that fact that they are Americans in the sense of the area of the world that they live. No matter how many times anyone says it they are living on this continent. But, that is up to them if that is the way they feel, that is the way they feel. Regardless being a Native American is not an insult in any sense of the word. It's strictly language, not ideology.

I think they mean in the way that US citizens calls their country "America".

For most latinamericans this is annoying. As they remember the Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine of "America for Americans". Which was sadly transformed from nice words to blatant expansionism, invasions, genocide and manipulations (even murder attempts like Mr. Henry Lane Wilson and Huerta vs President Madero )

(ps, the word in spanish is "definitivamente". could be because of that)

I use wordreference.com to double check everything. It's the site my Spanish professors recommend because it's the next best thing to a good dictionary.

Definitely=sin duda, indudable
definitively=categóricamente, decididamente

In general, we use "definitely" in daily conversation, not "definitively". :)

Both our languages are weird...

Well isn't that special. :cautious:

There's growing confusion about how would-be flyers from Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New York will board planes when provisions of the Real ID Act go into effect. Because their state ID and driver's license processes fail to meet federal standards, passengers from those four states would likely need a passport or, in the case of non-citizens, immigration documents for air travel within the United States.

How? How do 'we' get to this point within our own boarders? :cyclops:

That sort of reminds me of this..
I read it online with videos from a comedian on tumblr.com

Then.. the new ones about women being unable to vote, because their marriage papers are not valid any more. and if they didn't have a valid birth certificate.. they cant have a photo id anymore.. no photo id.. no voting.

Cant comment much on this, because my country as a very funny yet sad culture about voting..
We have "muertos que votan( death who vote, literally dead people who somehow still have valid ids.. somehow vote for the "preselected candidate"), "Acarreados" (people who get pulled from other states,transported via buses, to vote elsewhere with a different id to skew and disbalance), Casillas rasuradas (where the voting polling stations shred the opposition voting papers) and the famous "urnas embarazadas"; Where duplicate voting bags are illegally filled with votes for "candidate who has to win at all costs" and the real bag is removed and burned..

:hilarious:

New weird thing with my hand...

Now I've got very little movement in my index finger. It's numb right above the index finger, so that is probably why. For now, though, my hand seems stuck in the Vulcan salute...

Wow, with all that chaos, how does anyone actually get voted into an office? :p

by buying the TV channel owners.
they are the ones who set up everything.
Once the viewers "buy" the fraud, its easy to modify the outcome in papers.
And since they always burn the voting pallets before the opposition can recount them...
and its not chaos, they simply eliminate votes (or invalidate them ) for the "opposition". And consequently buy voters to inflate the numbers of the "elected one".

I guess this is a stupid question, but why even vote at all?

Sorry...I'm talking more about the Nations as groups and not specific individuals. Sure, there are Aboriginal people who don't care one way or the other...and you see this discrepancy within all cultural groups (immigrants, regional identities, etc.). But there are people who care and that's my point. We should respect that.

I can relate in a sense. I am a Maritimer. The Maritimes happen to be located in Canada but I care much less about Canada than I do about the Maritimes. I know there are others that feel differently.

I wear my CANADIAN badge proudly. (Just ask anybody here. :hilarious:) And there really is NO reason to brag about being from Ontario right now.

Well, except for the Blue Jays thing. ;)
