You know what you should do? You should make your own website, and get rich like those people on the internet.

That's less stupid and more...easier said than done. I mean, a lot of the really popular websites that made their creators wealthy were pretty simple ideas, or even copies of ideas other people have had just done better or got luckier. Unless he was assuming that simply making a website at all would somehow make you wealthy.

Kind of like saying 'You should invent something amazing that everyone wants and become a billionaire!'

He has no idea about how the internet works. He can barely open his e-mail.

Apparently just owning a website can make you millions.

Ah, well, that certainly counts, then.

So i can make millions by owning a website that just says "shit" in large letters? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?

We aren't mexicans! The fact that we were born and raised in Mexico is pure semantics.

Ummm:
1) You obviously have spanish heritage
2) You were born and raised in Mexico

Yep, that about fits the definition of "Mexican" to me.

This so much.

I hate hearing "I was born and raised in whatever, but that doesn't mean I'm from whatever, because peanuts!".

If... they've naturalized wherever they are now, and it's not Mexico, then. Yeah, they're no longer mexican? If someone spent the first, say, five years in one country, and then then next 10-20 in the one they're in now... I'd say they're of the latter, m'self. They're from Mexico, sure, as per Tomato, but I wouldn't particularly consider 'em mexican anymore.

I can see where they're coming from, and I do imagine it's a source of great frustration for a lot of immigrants. Y'spend decades of your life in another country and they still label you as "other", despite you being one of them in basically every way but maybe skin tone and a few years back when you were a kid. Annoying, at the very least.

Eh, I was born, raised and never been away from Australia, and I'm still a European. There is just no pleasing some people.

I think the correct course of action is to not care about this sort of thing.

Where is your sense of over the top nationalistic pride?
Its as if you don't even take credit for the accomplishments of other people who were born in vaguely the same geographical region as yourself!

[kaijyuu]

Where is your sense of over the top nationalistic pride?

In the same place as my racism and homophobia.

You're right, great people such as... uh... gimme a moment... any second now... nope, drawing a blank here.

Where are you even from, Atlantis?

[Descan]

I feel much more Scottish than I do Canadian.

But I also feel very Canadian as well.

So I don't know?

It is the viking that you must feel. Feel it in your bones!

[Frumple]

Bone viking. Is it an adjective or a verb? CAN IT NOT BE BOTH‽
