Yeah, but bigots don't usually care which version of brown skin you are wearing. They just pick their favorite slur and sling it at you.

They aren't too discriminatin' in their discriminatin'.

Geez, could've just tell me straight. I was only 5 then, got no idea where that place was. All I could remember from the adults were the two words "Camp Pendleton." Thought it was an island. Felt desolated enough -- slept and ate in tents and used outhouses. I vaguely remember bushes in the lower lands and we were told not to stray to because there were snakes. Anyways, we settled in Santa Monica where it felt like civilization. :p:

Because of your response, I googled Camp Pendleton. I had thought we stayed in Guam. :p:

BTW I missed the wink off the last post, it reads far more aggressively than I meant it to!

No, I'm 100 % British, and count myself English.
After all I have never lived in Ireland, neither has my mother and 3/4 of my Grandparents were English.

5, excuses, excuses.:p:
A few years back I visited the neighborhood I lived in until 3. That huge backyard between the rows of houses, the one that was too far to walk to the neighbors... is about 50 feet. :haha:
