Timeless Lessons For Speaking
Please, think before you open your mouth. You may also wish to consider practicing a better method of communicating with others, besides trash talking.
Also, utilizing the only 27 words you know, interspersed with what I prefer to identify as crutches, such as "I'm like, he's like, she's like." or "you know", "ah", "um" and so many other noises, which are unacceptable and totally inefficient form of communication. Advertising invented terms like super-size and other made up monstrosities are just not proper uses of our language.

Following an unarmed Bronx teen being fatally shot by NYPD after being chased into the family home, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz says enough is enough. “We have a problem, not just in the Bronx but across the City. In the past week we have seen a well-publicized video documenting apparent police brutality, the attempted murder of a police officer in Brooklyn, and, this afternoon, a young, unarmed man saw his life end by a police officer’s bullet."

US NEEDS INMIGRATION
Whenever asked what I am - I'm a citizen of The United States of America.
My father's mother: From Italy. My father's father: From Spain. My mother's mother was from Cuba. My Mother's father came from France.
So when I hear all this negative talk about immigration, and frankly, I do not think it’s very healthy for our country, because this country has been good to me and also to so many others.
I believe that diversity is and will always be brilliant for US... it sets US apart from many other nations as being a country who assimilates people from all over the world.
