solly cholly.

hooooboy! them's fightin' words, cholo.

OK, that's it. Why don't you shut your computer down and go get a life. If you don't have anything constructive or intelligent to say, get off. That last comment of yours just goes to show what a jerk you are. People like you give the Islands a bad rep. You owe him an apology for that slur. You're right, though - you are in the dark. Other people at least had something to contribute. You....pphhhttt. NADA!

Re: Mexican-American

When you come across a pointless, off-topic or inappropriately personal post, it's best not to stoop to their level and hurl more insults.

As mentioned before, you can use the "Ignore User" feature the system provides to improve your reading experience. You can also score a post using the "Reputation" link (the little scale icon) to help me track inappropriate or pointless messages and to help other members determine how much credibility to give another user's contributions.

Ha! I just KNEW that I was going to get called on that post but decided to get my licks in anyway. Bugged me too much to ignore.

But mahalo, for the other advice. I was not aware of that feature and I will certainly utilize it!!

yea, the whole world is worried and concerned about people in Hawaii who voice their concern about its overpopulation and overdevelopment.

>" You owe him an apology for that slur. "

everything is a slur to those who live in the facist P.C. dark ages....

This person proclaimed it is no worse to overdevelop Hawaii than it is any other part of the world; The implication is; it is no better than any or land, So it should be done. Bringing this mentality( that grows like a cancerous disease and festers support with likeminded people) to Hawaii is one of the many things that is destroying our aina, culture, general way of life. And you say Ii owe an apology.
I tellya... some people's children... tisk, tisk, tisk.

Translation: Nothing is off limits... except things Kimo considers sacred. .. Say anything you want, unless it upsets Kimo's sensitivities. You're no different from anyone else... except Kimo, who's special.

Oh yeah, the topic. From the original post:

Is this truly felt by the majority of “locals?”

There are people who are resentful of newcomers. There are people who are welcoming of newcomers. If you value Hawaii's diversity, and you should, you have to understand that not everyone is a big, smiling welcome mat, and not everyone is Kimo. Adjust your filters accordingly.

my point was, arturo did not consider what i directed toward him, as a slur, another instigator jumps in and says
Hey you owe him an apology.
what was a slur? who is offended? no one but a third party troublemmaker.


further, i think Arturo saw my comment as what it was intended to be; a jocular pseudo "put em up; like t'row blow brah!?"
kinda thing. I have many Mexican friends here and on the mainland and we all banter and toss around the monikers;
Yo whusup ese? Homey whuddup, cholo.

and it may be reinforced in a corny fashion by my dining at a favorite Mexican restaurant in haleiwa called "Cholo's".

Re: Mexican-American

Development is evident around the world. Why should Hawaii be any different?

Arturo,

Hawaii is different. IMO the most special piece of land in the world and very finite. Development may be inevitable but how it is developed is the question. So far, not so good. Mainland money will always hold sway as long as Hawaii is part of the U.S. and any future envisioned by Hawaiians will be given little weight.

Re: Mexican-American

I haven’t checked this thread in a couple of days, and it seems like it’s gotten quite popular. Kimo-I wasn’t offended in anyway by your comments. For one thing, my comments were purely speculation. After all of your comments I was able to get a better understanding on your perspective. I’ve also been reading other sources to better my understanding, including one article about Moloka’i, called, “Not as friendly; Molokai:”
http://www.mauinews.com/story.aspx?id=6393
This article was a big eye-opener for me. It’s ridiculous that this type of attitude from new-comers exists on the “friendly-island.” As for everyone else in thread, thanks for sticking up for me, but it would take a lot to offend me. Also, there is now way Kimo could have offended me about this subject since he knows a lot more about it than I. Also he probably has experienced a lot of what Moloka’i is experiencing now which gives him a right to feel the way he does. Thanks again for everyone’s concern and comments.
