Magdalena, ==================================================== And I've never insulted the working class Nepalese, the ones who have to work for their living. It's those people that I respect. And since they're not in north america, they aren't fobs. ==================================================== let me get to the logic here: [as u mentioned somewhere: SAT/GRE CRITICAL READING ] [ my inference is following ] 1. WORKING CLASS WORKS FOR LIVING 2. MAGDALENA RESPECTS WORKING CLASS 3. WORKING CLASS NEPALESE ARE IN NEPAL 4. NEPALESE IN US ARE NOT WORKING CLASS 5. NEPALESE IN US DO NOT WORK FOR LIVING 6. MAGDALENA DO NOT RESPECT NEPALESE IN US. 7. NEPALESE IN US ARE FOBs. ==================================================== So, u think FOB's do not work for living or FOB's do not work @ all? [ u did generalize it up there] and I am a Nepalese in US so I am neither working class nor respectable thus and FOB. right???? I have a simple question for you! person who u associate urself with or think are wonderful were also FOBs some 5-10-15-20 yrs ago. Is that correct? Pls do look urself up as well; I am sure ur name for some conservative catholics does not bode well whateve DAN BROWN might ennunciate. certainly not yin and yang. or the mirror image of Jesus. and pls do remember ur past as well .... may b u also belong to FOB class and this is y u r so guilty? may b u do not? But everybody who came to states for their UNDERGRAD or GRAD "studies"; have to take money from their parents in the beginning even if they were blessed with full rides here. and just because u or some elite lucky ones never have/had to take help does not mean majority of NEPALESE who come to study here have to work their a$$ off just to support the tuition and living expense. THEY WORK HARD AND IN UR WORDS THEY MIGHT BE FOB's BUT CERTAINLY THEY ARE BUILDING THEIR OWN FOUNDATION not gloating. ===================================================== as always what do i know?
