Mexicans are like flies.

I’m sitting here eating a chocolate rice crispy treat and I look up at the window and I see a bug trying to get out. And since I take something and make it into an entirely different thought.. I came up with: Mexicans are like flies.

Flies can be annoying. They are only tiny little things that don’t annoy you on purpose, but they do. They fight with the big screen in the window for freedom.

Mexicans are the same way. They get on some Americans nerves. They are only a tiny little group of people in America. People don’t want them around, yet they are there..

They fight for freedom, they fight for a better life, like the flies do with the screen.

I don’t know if this makes sense.. But the moral of this thought is.. Mexicans are like flies.

Your thoughts?

My thought?

I like cake.

I like cake.
Heathen! Pie>Cake.

Mexicans have six legs, compound eyes, two sets of wings and clearly defined divisions between their heads, thoraxes and abdomen? I had never noticed.

I think you've got one freaky train of thought. I bet it's all gooey and rainbow...y. Either way it might have derailed :p

I undrstand what you mean and even agree with some of your statements (in a very over generalized way). But I find your simile/metaphor/whatever to be disgusting. Try to find a more friendly title to your song and maybe some more persons will sing it. I have no idea where that last sentence came from, but it makes sense in a strange way so I'm keeping it.

Your thoughts?
Comparisons are like politicians. They never tell the whole story.

i think you need to be extremely careful when likening people to insects that are commonly found walking on dog shit.

Nah- that title is deliberate and it'll get the responses you're looking for.

i didnt think for a moment that you meant it that way

but that is why you have to be very careful about the metaphors you use. you have to think about all the other connotations of flies.

What an odd metaphor. Makes sense, in a wierd sort of way.

Oh, I see what you mean.

Sorry if it offends people

:fluffle:

I'm glad it's.. kinda making sense.

Oh? And what am I looking for?

It seems like you want to defend your "true" good intentions, comparing their plight to that of something most of us consider disgusting and irritating.

There are about 12 million mexicans in the US, so they aren't really a small demographic group. Mexicans are like flies in the sense that they perform many jobs that are essential to society, but distateful at the same time. Also, like flies they can carry diseases. Overall, though, I'd have to say that they are misunderstood and simply trying to give themselves and their kids a better life.

We use clothes cleverly to disguise it. But that's what the sombrero and zarape are for.

Mexicans are like flies? So what, Americans must be like maggots?

I dunno man. I wanna punch (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6640225987281635407&q=punch&pl=true)someone in the face.

Does that mean that when USA nationals grow up they become Mexicans? Cool!

Just make sure you do it exactly like that lady in the video. We wouldn't want anybody to get hurt.

Does that mean that when USA nationals grow up they become Mexicans? Cool!

Only if they're really good and get all 'A's in school and love Santa and can click their heels in the air and can eat crackers and whistle at the same time.

It takes a lot to grow up to be a beaner. :D

Does that mean that when USA nationals grow up they become Mexicans? Cool!

Yes, but only if we eat enough dead flesh. Mmm, corpsemeat!

Also, while we're on the subject of stereotyping and I'm in a link-giving mood, watch this (http://users3.ev1.net/~rootstudio/fyadhaus/meatloafanhoochies.swf).
