THIS IS RACIST AND UNCALLED FOR

This has absolutely nothing to do with "the race card." Why insult a whole race when we're talking about natural disasters?  This is narrow minded and unwelcome.  Keep your racial comments private please...

I am the OP and that was just a tad uncalled for.
for those of us who have not participated in this in prior years. I was unclear as to whether you needed to enter each day or only at the beginning of the week since it says one entry per person, and the fact that it says you must enter "each giveaway" was vague, as well, considering you could mean "giveaway" as the MT Week Giveaway as a whole, each daily giveaway, or each individual giveaway for each item that each company donated.

I am not a rocket scientist, it's true. You got me there. However, I am an MTSO who has paid money to your site to access resume bank, etc. and a little common courtesy would be nice. I quit coming to this site for a long time due to the total anonymity and the rudeness and bashing that goes along with that and only recently started coming around again. I thought since the moderators seem to be more active and seemed to be trying to contain some of the more negative remarks, things might be different. I would expect the administrators to lead by example.

I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of me, to be honest, but it might behoove you to think about who might be on the receiving end of your barbs. I certainly am not motivated to spend my valuable time at a site where the administrators feel it is appropriate to insult someone's intelligence for merely asking a SINGLE question. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that perhaps you've been asked the same question repeatedly, but if that is the case, maybe you need to reevaluate the wording and make it a little more clear. For example, simply stating "YOU MUST ENTER EACH DAY" would be surefire way to get that point across.

I thought this was a professional website for professional MTs, run by professional MTs, and I think that comment was highly unprofessional. Thanks. You really made MY MT week special.
THIS IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!
How rude!
I appologize. It was uncalled for.

Your response is uncalled for.
This is something that happened to me and I had to purchase the software again. Microsoft told me that the software one purchases off the trial version installed on the computer is a one-time only deal and can't ever be reinstalled. This is a board to ask questions and share experiences, not a board to name-call.
That was extremely rude & uncalled for.
Noone deserves to be harrassed or "kicked' when they're down!!
The next reply is totally UNCALLED FOR.

not racist
I'm sorry if my comment was considered racist because that is not what I meant. It is just a fact of today's society. I don't begrudge a single ESL who has had the gumption to excel in today's working public. I just think that my husband or my son should have the same privilege since we are citizens of the USA. I know that they are probably citizens as well, but transplanted, and they shouldn't be given perferential treatment because they are transplanted. They should only be on an equal level. I don't think anyone should be given preference because of race, color of skin or who you know.
Racist much?
Get off it...no one is "taking over."
racist
Maybe you take what we've said as racist. That is your opinion and you have a right to it. I dont mean to be racist. Take for instance African American dictators. I have yet to have a problems with an African American dictator and no I am no African American. I am just stating that if I was racist I would be racist against African Amercians. It isn't racism it is facts. If the dictators from India, or Asia, or some other country could speak clearly and a few do then I would have no problem with them.
It was rude in nature. 'Thanking' people for cherrypicking was uncalled for.

I think you're racist and where is it exactly...

Sounds like a racist to
me too!

She should try learning another language, go to that country and see how she likes being told to "go back where you came from" because she couldn't be understood!

There would be no America if everyone returned to their country of origin.
Read my post above, very racist myself
NOT. I do not like ebonics and definitely would not allow it spoken in my home. Husband black, I am white. I can say that and now am I racist for calling it what it is. It is terrible speaking and not English. When I lived in Atlanta it was horrible all the people interviwed on the news. No one could speak to where most could understand. I can speak from experience myself.
Not racist at all - a very well written post.

Hmm, is this little Hispanic girl racist?

Dear anti-Caucasian racist

Sorry, you're dead wrong. Nice try though.
Nothing more racist to me than accepting that blacks are poor and stupid and need help,

You're the racist. You have a problem wtih Caucasians
my relatives came here LEGALLY from Czechoslovakia, registered at Ellis Island and took the naturalization test.

They are now productive LEGAL citizens.
Geez. give the girl a break already. For definition of racist, sm
PER WIKIPEDIA: Racism is a belief system or doctrine which postulates a hierarchy among various human races or ethnic groups. It may be based on an assumption of inherent biological differences between different ethnic groups that purport to determine cultural or individual behaviour. ...

I went back and read the OPs post about 3 times. Not once did she use the word hate and she said "most" not "all." We've all had bad days. I was cursing under my breath while working just today because one inconsiderate mumbling Primadonna ruined my entire morning. She just happened to be American.

Face it. There is a stereotype that many doctors have God complexes, are arrogant, demanding, and have to have their way. Doctors are inconsiderate. These are intelligent people that just don't give a rats. I'll prove it by saying that I've been a medical Transcriptionist for 18 years and no other "professional" has ever belched, eaten, cursed, or urinated while on the phone with me.

You don't have to be an MT to get frustrated over the language barrier either. I've owned my last Dell computer, not because I hate Indians, but because every single time I've had to call I wind up ending the call because there is a complete communication breakdown. I would expect that if I "chose" to live in another country, but this is my home. Americans are the ones having to learn a second language because so many foreigner just wont. Just look at how many job posting there are for bilingual receptionists and secretaries. It's just not like that anywhere else but here. If I "chose" to live in Japan, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, etc. you'd better believe I would be the one to learn "their" language. Why should they accommodate me? I'm on their soil. Why should it be any different here? No where else on the globe is it like this.

Sorry if this is long and choppy. I got distracted.
