So wait. You are saying that your comment was merely an observation and you meant nothing derogatory?

But then, in the same breath, you are saying something derogatory about Mexico.

Interesting.

Actually I am not saying that it was merely an observation at all. I think I said that it could be taken as it was typed, as an observation or one could choose to take it as I sneakily meant it....mean, mean, mean!!! I just read what I wrote and I can't see where I said anything BAD about Mexico, but maybe I did. I know I never typed the word "QUACK" but even if I did say something bad about Mexico.....*** gasp ** So what. I also said something negative about Wisconsin, hells bells, nobody is jumping up and down stomping their feet about that one. Oh well. Does it matter that I am all for immigration reform.....they want to come HERE for a reason and I think there should be a clear and legal path for them to do so.

Some feel the need for human contact. They do that much like a 2 year old does. Bad attention is better than none.

Unless you have contacts at the state department, you have no idea if her doctor is a foreigner or not. Its another attention provoking statement.

Time to back up, take time to read your posts, and decide if the statements are what you really want to be known by.

Bigotry isn't pretty.

Thats all my Scots/Irish butt has to say.:-)

No, no, no, she's quite right. My doctor IS a foreigner. It says it right in my signature that I was sleeved by Dr's Cabrerra/Valenzuela in Tijuana Mexico.. Though technically, since I traveled to THEIR country to get the procedure, I was the foreigner!

Rude' date=' a racist and ignorant? LoL My sister in law is Hispanic, and a nurse. She says she would not go to Mexico for surgery. Does it sound racist to say, jeeeze, I wouldn't go to England either....and like I already said, I wouldn't let one of the Yankees up north cut on me either. Actually I CAN say "lighten up" and blow off whatever I choose to. You on the other hand can respond like you did or just be gracious and say "Bless your heart" - if you're from here, you know what that means. BTW, just because you have lived here all your life, that doesn't mean you are FROM here, are you a Native Texan or are you a foreigner?? ....and that means, anywhere outside our border.[/quote']

Born and raised thank you very much. I don't see what your in-law has to do with this. It's funny how you don't care what anyone else thinks yet you're over here defending yourself from every single comment.

Sooooo did you ask your surgeon if he was born in Texas when you went into his office for the first time?

[NtvTxn 1,262]

We all have a gay uncle, too. That makes it OK to make gay slurs, right?

Actually I have a gay cousin, he wore a wedding dress back before it was in vogue. I don't think I used a racial slur at all.

That's pretty funny AND accurate!! Good point!

What's that sound I hear? It seems to be pedals....going backwards! Nice!

[newlife27 323]

This is ridiculous. .....smh

No, being a Native Texan, that was not a requirement, he could use y'all properly and had a TX accent. We had something in common, I was a displaced Texan living in WI and he'd attended medical school up there....he wasn't a big fan either. Instant bond!! LOL On a side note, my new 'regular' doctor was also a 'Top Doc' in D Magazine, says right there in his bio, 'Fourth generation Texan' That just made me giggle.

I'm giggling....but don't count on it. I seldom eat words and never back pedal. You're reading things into my words, but that's ok, I'm not easily offended. I'm normally the offender, and I know that's shocking.

This is so stupid. My 4 year old makes more sense..
