The Spanish are not [B]Hispanics. They are considered Europeans due to it's location however. I hate it when some arrogant person calls me Spanish because I speak it. 🙄

I tend to correct their flawed statements though. SO I feel much better! 😄 [/B]

Yes they are. The term you're looking for is Latino, which is a person from Latin America. Like tu y yo, vato.

Tu no sabe nada, guey.

I was not aware of the first definition. May I have a source to confirm this?

The two are practically the same.

...Obviously not. The words are very different.

Few differences: No. 2 uses the word "threat", No. 2 uses the word "penalty".

notice the word "practically"

I don't want to end up on ignore again because I value your input so...

I fail majorly because I retaliated on your comments against me by pointing out a simple spelling mistake. I fail because I planned ahead when with my citations by including something other than Wikipedia as a source of information. I also fail because it took 3 minutes to make that cited post because there were plenty of sources for why I was right.

Did I miss anything or I have a failed at life in general?

Bingo...I was going to let him "discover" that information for himself with the references I cited but you response works just as well.

Also, Chithappens, I thought you post was good as well.

Right. But, both imply a process that leads to an end result.

2 - huh?

3 - Not really a huge deal

i meant 'encyclopedia'. *edited* my bad. and spelling nazism is a big deal. spelling nazis should be raped and burned alive.

I cannot get over the "jokes" from many members of this forum in recent threads. To me skin colour is never an issue, unless others make it one. It seems because one black fool is insulting white members. The white members feel they have the right to be as foolish.

Live and let live, judge the individual not the race.

Throwaway humour should be thrown away when it comes to certain issues.


Go back to the jungle.

Wiki is generally a great place for information. However, there are people out there who are like, "nuh uh!! Wiki is all BS because it is written by people and shouldn't be cited!!!" So I cited dictionary.com as a source for the definition of a word...hmmmm, imagine that, dictionary.com defining a word to resolve a debate on the definition of a word.

But whatever dude, you are always right and I obviously failed.

I ONLY corrected you because you thought it important to point out a supposed failure. Misspelling "cited" is a much bigger failure than citing a source such as Wikipedia for the definition of a word.

I dunno, I'd think you could use wiki as a dictionary.

and Norwegians or Scandinavians just like Spain or Hispanics(as in European Hispanics) are considered as caucacians

I think you are confusing terms. Spanish peoples are Caucasoids but they are not Caucasians
A caucasoid is a part/member of the caucasian racical clasification
