    With that being said, it really pisses me off when people asks me if I am Ai-thalian...Yeah, I was born in Ai-thalee...
    I understand.

    I remember one of idiot who kept asking Spaniard international student
    "Are you Mexican? from Me-hee-ko?"

    It just make some people look stupid that every Spanish speaker is from Me-hee-ko.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
