Re: Sum people no more aloha nowadayz

Eh Adrian:
Go give your Mom a biiiiig hug of aloha from me! She has brought you up to be the kind of thoughtful young adult I wish this country had more of! She actually taught you the kind of values most of us adults are lamenting kids of today don't have (respect for others, among other things).

Miulang

I will.

Its ironic, because our neighbors race cars, play loud music, basically its they're the opposite of us.

Re: Sum people no more aloha nowadayz

As parents we are being bombarded with sexual inuendo's embedded in supposed "kid" stuff. It's in the video games, cartoons, and even the Disney Channel!

The video games is something parents are finally coming around to dealing with. It's harder though because some parents don't look at the ratings and let their kids play them (I was one of them). Kids go over to other kids homes to play video games. I have to tell my kids, "no they cannot go over to Johnny's home to play video games, but he can come over here to play ours (what was deemed and filtered as acceptable).

The cartoons are eye-popping! Have you seen the female superhero's in today's cartoons? Isis, Supergirl, and others have painted on costumes on their seemingly anatomically exagerated bodies. Adult Swim is a cartoon series on the Cartoon Network that my kids are not allowed to watch.

And The Disney Channel? What's up with that? They got little girls imitating today's hot little cuties dressed in barely nothing singing Oops I did it again? Nine year old girl singers singing Britney Spears songs on the Disney Channel! And there's Britney Spears herself a product of Disney!

There's nothing on TV, Radio or even the recorded media that's safe anymore from sex or porn on our kids. It's harder and harder to restrict these "evils" from our children's senses as commercialism bombards us with so much of it!

Heck we can't even watch those Police wildest videos during the family viewing hour without seeing commercials about Phone sex, or Girls Gone Wild. Our TV is pretty much set to TLC or the Discovery channel where the programming is fairly safe.

Media programming needs to be changed and so does kid marketing.

one haole jerk tourist idiot sitting there with an empty seat next to the window with his knapsack on it.

Wow! Is that one of those negative contextual applications of the word "haole" that I read about in another thread?

prolly not. You are reading this, in this thread azz why.

You want to read the word '"haole" as negative? Go right ahead. free country.
ainokea

I am saying he is a haole. and he is a jerk and he is a tourist. and he is an idiot. and he was sitting.
wot. boddah you?!

Ouch! trying to confuse me with pidgen! Fair by me, I can't claim to speak it properly, nor can I do it justice in the phonetic written form, but by God, I can understand everything you say!

The word itself is not negetive (or so I have come to be told), only the context in which it is used.

I am saying he is a haole. and he is a jerk and he is a tourist. and he is an idiot. and he was sitting. wot. boddah you?!

You saw him, know what is skin color is....ok, I believe you. Agree on the next three.

Yeah, kinda... Just seems petty to name-call on a racial basis on this forum when all you had to do set the lad straight then and there! He may not have been a bad person, and perhaps would have taken your pointers. Of course there are plenty of bad Haoles around...given there are some 400,000,000 million of us in the world. Figgah da odds of findin' a bad one in Hawaii! Please, give us a break...we're not all selfish and rude.

why you nevah ask: "Wow! Is that one of those negative contextual applications of the word "tourist" that I read about in another thread?"

Easy! Cuz wen us Haoles read da kine internet 'bout Hawaii, da treds 'bout da word Haole really capture da interest! The word "Tourist" is pretty mundane and doesn't imply an ethnic group or nationality. We only want to feel welcome when we come to Hawaii!

or : "Wow! Is that one of those negative contextual applications of the word "sitting" that I read about in another thread?"

C'mon Kimo....I've read and enjoyed your posts....I know you understand why that word is not a basis for my statement!

Re: Sum people no more aloha nowadayz

"Ouch! trying to confuse me with pidgen!"

...have NO idea what THIS means...

"The word itself is not negetive (or so I have come to be told), only the context in which it is used. "

my point exactly. read into it how you want.

"Yeah, kinda... Just seems petty to name-call on a racial basis"

I do not do this. never have. never will.

"when all you had to do set the lad straight then and there!"

he was far away.. I am NEVER hesitant when it's convenient to set anyone straight.

"Please, give us a break...we're not all selfish and rude. "

never said YOU were.

"Easy! Cuz wen us Haoles read da kine internet 'bout Hawaii, da treds 'bout da word Haole really capture da interest! The word "Tourist" is pretty mundane and doesn't imply an ethnic group or nationality."

it implies a group and those that want to respond PC and hypersensitively will. Regardless of the word. regardless of the direct message.

"C'mon Kimo....I've read and enjoyed your posts....I know you understand why that word is not a basis for my statement!"

...then you miss my point.

all you had to do set the lad straight then and there!

Correction, brinkman;
I don't have to do a god damn thing.
typical mainland haole.
don't tell me what to do.

It is the responsibility of an adult to act civil and share a seat that they are obviously not using on a crowded bus. And my point that you are obviously missing by many miles is:

I don't care what color they are. If it is a young male, they give their seats to females and esp. older people on the bus.

get it now?!

Yeah, kinda... Just seems petty to name-call on a racial basis

The above is a perfect example and display of racism when anyone ass umes this. For the word "haole"... has also come to mean anyone NOT from the islands; a foreigner. This means and implies, (in case you are still confused) ANY one of ANY race.

and what exactly is this term
"name-call"?
what are we; in grade school?!

Not quite, and you as sure heck miss mine!

Scheez, I agree with you. But dang, instead of complaining about it to a forum of your peers in a (ok, however-contested/perceived, racially biased way), I still think you should have "taken care of it" in a tactful way. That's what I would have done.....But I live in San Diego. I understand though, that you and I are products of different enviroments, and why you may be compelled to act differently. Relax (read liberal), I understand.

Point is, Kimo, no one appreciates their ethnicity/nationality/creed, depreciated based on the actions of of a few. If that were the case, Muslims the world over would be, well.........

I said my piece, I don't need the last word...We'll win in November...mark my words.

Re: Sum people no more aloha nowadayz

It is perfectly valid to discuss or as you perceive "complain".

This is what we use discussion boards for. IF.. i were within closer physical proximity to da haole crab, I woulda dealt with him!
and then i would a discussed that too. or as you call it; "complain".

And i do deal with that kine pilikia. often enuff. but this is not island style to make stink kine on da bus. We just lettum go and hope we don't see more of his kind hea.

(ok, however-contested/perceived, racially biased way), I still think you should have "taken care of it" in a tactful way.

thats what you think and you are entitled to your opinion. but don't tell me what to do.

or what i should do.

That's what I would have done.....But I live in San Diego. I understand though, that you and I are products of different enviroments,

Now I think you gotta holda sumpin solid there;
Hawaii MAY be a state of amerika but we sure as heyall have a different way of doing things round hea.
It IS a different country.
make NO mistake about that.
and we DON'T appreciate all da haoles (loud belligerent thoughtless pushy arrogant foreigners) coming over here and destroying our way of life, our island style, our now commercialised 'aloha spirit'... and telling us what to do. and pushing their way around hea. and then justifying and defending it by saying we are racist if and when we rebel.

Nooooo.. I dun thingsewwww!

Point is, Kimo, no one appreciates their ethnicity/nationality/creed, depreciated based on the actions of of a few.

the "few " are many more than you think. And you can thank the "few" to always ruin it for the many. point also is, you are racist to assume I am being racist.

I'm curious: who is the "we" you refer to. Kimo55? Are you the spokesman for a specific group, or are you just assuming that position?

Also, in that one post you wrote:

Kimo, I've stayed out of most of your discussions but I have to respectfully tell you that in most of your posts you do indeed sound racist. If you're really not, perhaps you want to reconsider some of your posts before you hit that Send button. Just a word to the wise.

Re: Sum people no more aloha nowadayz

Check the previous posts and you'll know who the "we" are.

Re: Sum people no more aloha nowadayz

...(as far as that "north shore" series:
noticed; save for one or two characters and one or two scenes with water in B/G, this could be a show set in L.A.: all the characters act, sound and talk like arrogant belligerent spoiled L.A. jerks. and brats. All of them. of all ages. No island style nuances, inflections, language, slang, not a hint of aloha style casual laidback interaction, (course not. IF they had that, the pacing would be different and they also must retain the bitchiness among all and sundry. then of course it wouldnt be the soap opera it is.) ...

I agree with most of what you said! Here I was sitting down to watch the show...hoping it would remind me of the time I lived there...only to find that pretty much the only thing reminiscent of Hawai`i was the scenery! (And a few local extras.) And you're right, it is basically a soap opera. At least NBC's Hawaii uses local actors and is truer representation than FOX's North Shore is. (Hawaii also uses local music.) I hate to think of all the tourists thinking this is what Hawai`i is like, based on what they see on North Shore. Then again, maybe that's what it is like at the resorts -- I have no idea since I've never stayed at one.

No. It isn't. Although, true, there are a lot more Japanese people here than in most states.
