I've got what most people would call a "great" job...making good money. Just not happy though...even in my income bracket it's still expensive to pay the bills and get a place to live..

And with the commuting and the mind numbingly uninspiring job...I just don't know man...

The presence of OSU and HP has created something of an intellectual center-- over 20% of its residents have earned a graduate or professional degree. The fertile Willamette Valley was the destination of 19th-century settlers from the Midwest, and since then has retained a peaceful agrarian feel. Summers are sublime and the winters are mild, if a bit wet. For recreation, the rugged Oregon coast is a 90 minutes to the west, the nearby Cascade range offers great skiing, and Portland is about 100 miles to the North. Considering it's affordability ($194,800 median home price), Corvallis presents an attractive mix of youth, intellectualism, and natural beauty.

I will be here Wednesday night. This is a VERY nice town! The college adds a chance of there being some music scene, and you're only a couple hours from Shannon, Marco, and lots of other Sitefolk. MacMenamin's Brewery FTW!

If I lived in the US, I'd probably want to live in Chicago or San Francisco...

Yes, I do. I speak all of the Native American languages that are officially recognized in the 364 countries that make up the United States, a total of over 200 different languages.

"Native American" language!? Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. As if they all spoke the same language. Are you referring to Navajo? Or Cherokee? Or Inupiaq and Inupiatun? Cahuilla? Arikara? Caddo? Pawnee? Chimariko? Chumash? Havasupai? Karuk? Kashaya? Mohave? Pomo? Quechan? Mohawk? Oneida? Onondaga? Seneca? Susquehannock? Wyandot? Alsea? Cathlamet? Chinook? Jargon? Coos? Klamath? Maidu? Miwok? Nez Perce? Nisgaa-Gitxsan? Ohlone? Tsimshian? Wintu? Yakama? Yokuts?

I could go on forever, but the truth is you have no idea what you're talking about.

English is the DE FACTO language of the United States of America (it is also the de facto language of the UK). You should speak the language of the country you live in, regardless of where you live. If you lived in Mexico, you should speak Spanish. You live in the US, you should speak English. - Not Kootenay, Natchez, Timucua, Tonkawa, Yuchi, Yupik, or Zuni. Languages that are only spoken by a very very small group of people.

You might even get yourself suspended/banned. Again, you're entitled to your opinions, but keep in mind that you're new here and try to have some respect for the community.

Exactly, Tom.

Ulveherite, first and last warning. That kind of nonsense isn't tolerated around here, in the least. I deleted your obnoxious fucking post.

I think it is pathetic that you lash out on him for making an simplification, when you yourself are using the same methods:

"If you lived in Mexico, you should speak Spanish"

Exactly! Exactly my point! And those 62 indigenous Amerindian languages are all only spoken by very small groups of people, which is why every single one of them can also speak Spanish.

Thank you for backing up my post in your very viscerous and hate-filled manner. You may have seen my post as a "spoiled brat-besserwisser-asshole attitude" (not even sure what that means), but I guess that's because you're new to the forum. There was nothing "spoiled" or "asshole"ish about my post. In fact, the way I posted is the only real way in dealing with Jason. Take a look at his other posts and you'll see what I mean.

Now, if you just want to ignore the correctness in my post and insult me as a "spoiled brat" with a stick up my ass, that's your choice. But Jason's post was making an example and his example was 100% incorrect, both literally and in principle. Everyone else understood it, yes. I understood it as well. I was not using the same methods at all. I was saying that you should speak the language of the majority. Jason said that you should speak the language of the indigenous people, possessing over 200 languages, but which consist of less than 1% of the overall population of the United States, oftentimes less than 0.1 or 0.2% of a state's population. My best friend is a native American, so I can't really see how I'm an "asshole" or have a stick up my ass for pointing out the ridiculous and incorrect example Jason made. And, apologies to Jason - he's a really great guy, but he oftentimes posts without thinking.

Thanks for the insults, though. Great first post, I must say.

[The Dark Wolf]

He's been warned. No need to further address this issue.

Please continue your conversation, however, minus the needless bullshit.

I wouldn't mind living in Houston at all.

I wish I was in a coma and living completely in my head in my own little world (more so than now). There'd be boobs and vaginas everywhere, and tons of nice guitars and amps.
