Same goes for all you wannabe hip hop thugs. You live in white, Canadian suburbia. You aren’t hard. Your life isn’t hard. You’re a joke. Get a job.
It’s a pathetic fashion trend.. a fad. You’ll get over it.
Where, exactly, is “white, Canadian suburbia” and how do I get there? There’s no such thing, onion.
Oh, they definitely have a haircut.
Another bitch about emo kids? Really? Yawn….
Here are the facts:
1. The majority of emo kids are teenagers
2. Most teenagers are idiots. It’s not really their fault.
3. As a teenager, you are highly likely to dress/act in a foolish way that will no doubt be embarrassing to you when you’re older.
4. Judging people based on how they look, and telling them to “get a haircut” makes you sound like a narrow-minded, conservative asshole.
white Canada suburbia? not if the Indians have anything to say about it.
Kay, this is Nova Scotia. Look around somewhere other than downtown Halifax. And NGF: what’s your point? Indians shmindians.
Indians live in India. U mean Aboriginals Mr. White Canadian Suburbia.
LOL @ honky shmonky….and “the Aboriginals own Canada”
If the Aboriginals own Canada, they should consider revising the terms of our lease agreement…they’re getting screwed.
At least they’re cleaner than the grunge phase I lived through.
Oh, for fuck’s sake, every generation has its angst quadrant – they outgrow it by the time they secure their first fulltime job. At least they’re not Moonies.
NGF: First of all, you should have specified Aboriginals if that’s what you meant. Only ignorant “honky shmonkies” still call them Indians. I equate Indians with India. Imagine that. Second, you’re a selfish bastard for keeping your time traveling sorcery to yourself, because you’re obviously from the 17th century when yes, perhaps the Aboriginals still owned Canada. By your logic, I still own the Cal Ripken rookie card that was stolen from me by some asshole in grade 3. I shit my pants and cried, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s not mine anymore. Third, get fucked with a rusty hammer.
Emo kids and mini thugs, let them dress how ever they want, you dressed funny when you were young. the will learn when they realize what the opposite sex (or same (WEFYB)) is looking for. its a long road from skater pants and ball caps too shiny shoes and a tie, but eventually the young guys will learn, they are not going to get noticed or give off aprochability dressing like a fool.
TBO: oh snapz.
I’m not so sure, Rafiki. I see an awful lot of dudes pushing strollers through the mall Fubu-ed the fuck out. And there has been more than one occasion when I’ve seen an otherwise lovely looking lady on the arm of something from the Coolio House of Horrors. Men don’t have a monopoly on fucktardery.
Maybe we should put them all in pens in the country. Kids love emo farms.
TBO: need a job? maybe you can do the gardening at my 18th C. chateau in wine country.
I equate Aboriginals with Australia.
KRA: I can’t stand emo kids either, but guess what… there’s a group out there that can’t stand your “style” either! It doesn’t matter if you’re dressed like a thug, a hippy, a business person, a jock, a slacker, a bum, a geezer or the fucking easter bunny, somebody is going to think you’re dressed like an idiot. And my guess is KRA that you fall into one of the many categories that someone else hates. So STFU, avert your eyes from the emo kids and keep walking, because nobody cares. And remember: You’re an individual…… just like everybody else.
NGF: No thanks.
Joeblow: Australia’s original inhabitants are called Aborigines.
both mean native to the land before the white folk came in and took over..i think…
Oh please, try wiki the word, ” indigenous peoples “…
“Aboriginal: Pertaining to things or land or person or members of a race, which are indigenous to, or first occupied a specified territory.”
http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/A/A…
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/abo…
Be careful using Wiki, it is good to get some quick references on information, however, you should never assume wiki’s information as factual. Anyone can put info up on that site. People are suppose to cite where they got that information, so use those links, but never depend on it.
BTW, I should correct myself, there is a cross reference made to indigenous by typing in aboriginal, so I am not saying that the definition given on indigenous is wrong but it is given as an option for the definition of aboriginal. Wiki is awesome, but take it with a grain of salt.
I think you guys mean First Nations…? Besides, enough with the emo bitches…people don’t change. Just wait till this fad blows over and a much more annoying one takes shape.
What makes me LOL is how INDIAN and Northern Affairs uses the term “Aboriginal” when they put their minority restriction in their job postings and they refer to themselves as an INDIAN organization. FFS, GoC.
you shouldn’t be raising emu’s in suburbia…. and especially not in Canada!
….
what’s that?.. EMO?… what’s an EMO?
oh….. ok, that makes much more sense.
lol the beardedonion, so true. gangsta wannabees. i remember reading an article many years ago when the gangsta trend started to pollute society. an ex-convict from the Bronx actually came on TV to challenge these “honkey pussies from middle and upperclass neighbourhoods with their design clothes gangsta crapfit” to take the next bus to the Bronx. he said, “you look so tough scaring your 50+ neighbours and you sleep in your comfortable bed . let’s see how much you like to be gangsta by coming over to my neighbourhood here in the Bronx, and show us really how tough you are!”.
funny, that was about 15 years ago.
onion… d’ya mean a place like Westphall… far from the downtown? Like I said, there is no white suburbia.
Kay: Your name rhymes with “gay”. You’re gay.
I LIVE in white suburbia. Not a brown face to be seen for miles and miles, not a single minority homeowner. Don’t tell me there is no white suburbia. And yes, I suppose that any place labeled “suburbia” would be far from downtown, as you suggested. If it were close to downtown, it would not be suburbia, you twit.
onion, grow up. Please. Maybe check out “Pick Your Partner I Don’t Care” then choose a more accurate insult…. “gay” LOL
Westphall ain’t it yet it’s not downtown either so come on, enlighten us non-racist bitches. Where is this place?
I live in white suburbia and pretty much run my block. Got little white girls buying me donuts and sandwiches and old white dudes lending me their BMWs to go buy weed.
