The worst dinner ever

In this day and age it is a sad thing to know that ignorance still draws a dividing line among so many people. Saturday night me and a few friends went to eat at a Korean resturant downtown. It was late so we knew what most of the crowd would consist of but, we didn't think that would be a problem. As we sat down at the table we noticed the people at the table next to us were drunk... really drunk. But like I said before we knew what the deal was before we decided to go out. First it was just me and my friend who was female. Then one of the gentleman at the table next to us asked were we spanish. We told him no but he insisted we were lying and proceeded to make rude remarks about spanish people and started speaking spanish. Then we were joined by two guys, who were spanish. At first the gentleman next to us was quiet and then he started his noise again with the remarks and speaking spanish. The guys we were with were getting very offended and started getting upset, but me and my friend insisted they should be quiet and not embarrass themselves or us. As our meal went on the man next to us was just going on and on. He was saying things like Christmas is a joke (he was Jewish), singing Lil Wayne songs in a mocking way, speaking spanish, and even mocking the menu and making jokes about Chinese people. Our waitress did not say anything to this man, nor did the manager of the resturant. We continued to ignore him and eat our food but, it was hard to enjoy ourselves over his ignorance. He kept talking about how he had a store a couple blocks over and he couldnt believe he's never been to this place before... whatever. So then, he gets up and comes over to our table. He says to us "You guys look like you could use my card" and he pulls out business cards and starts throwing them all over the table. I picked one up and it said "Pricebusters... Discount furniture, bedding, and more. At that point, I felt so disrespected, I couldn't ignore him and I couldn't bite my tounge either. I threw the card back at him and I told him how ignorant I thought he was. After that words were exchanged between us and them and everyone had to leave the resturant. After I left, I felt so angry because I felt as though this man and his ignorance caused me to lose character in public. I didn't act like a fool or anything like that I felt I handled the situation well... but I was angry that I was faced with a situation like that. We couldn't enjoy our meal because this man was beyond rude. It was truly ignorance at its finest. The people in the resturant did not handle the situation at all and put us in a position that we did not want to be in. It angers me that they allowed him to behave like that, and its even worse that his friends thought it was entertaining. He was taking shots at African Americans, Latinos and Chinese people... and everyone allowed it. I asked him was he embarassed, because I was truly embarassed for him. He saw nothing wrong with the way he was acting and thats the problem. Its one things to tell your bigotry jokes in your living room but to think its okay to bring it in public is another. We're supposed to be united as a country right? We're all human beings and we aren't supposed to judge others based on race, religion, etc. right? Its a sad thing that people are still that ignorant, and that they allow for those things to divide them from everyone else. And its a sad thing that just going out to enjoy friends and food you could be faced with a situation like that. I know everyone has their own stories encountering some kind of ignorance, but its a shame that we have those stories to tell. Its a wish in a cloud to ask that the hate be erased but, hopefully people will learn enough respect for others and THEMSELVES, to keep their hate at home and learn how to act in public.

Do I know my life is weird?

So as everybody knows, Miss Britney Spears is making a comeback. She has new documentary coming out on MTV, where she says she knows her life is weird... but its all she knows. Okay? Don't get me wrong I am glad she is able to make a comeback, I congratulate her. I mean just a year ago she was a drug addict who shaved her head right? Things like this make me wonder was Britney Spears ever crazy like they portrayed her in the news or was it just publicity? Also, why would people want to see her make a comeback after she acted like such a fool? When Britney Spears first came out, the first thing a critic would say is she can't really sing... so why was she famous? And more importantly why is she able to make a come back? People are always worried about images that are portrayed in society. Morals, values, and good examples right? Well not in this case. Britney Spears doesn't entertain grown women who already have their heads straight, she entertains the 13-year old girl who is not sure right from left just yet. SO, this is the impression she gets from her idol... First, Britney came on the scene strong as ever, then she had some kids, fell off, started partying with out her underwear on, using drugs, shaving her head, going to the hospital on the regular and just embarrassing herself every time she walked out of the house. Now, after all of that she is famous again, getting just as much credit as she did the first time. So, this impressionable young girl is going to think it is okay to behave that way because you'll always be able to pick yourself up. Whether it was an act or not, it was outrageous. It just amazes me how America is so entertained by things like that. Her face was in the paper more when she was misbehaving then when she was showing her "talent". With behavior like that being accepted the young crowd is going to think its okay to behave like that and things will never get better in society. Hopefully the houses around America still believe in instilling their family values and teaching that people like Britney Spears are just an act. Maybe one day America will stop supporting people who behave so foolishly, and let the celebrities remain those who actually bring talent to entertain you.
