Rants & Raves

sections on Craiglist.org is interesting, mostly because of the idiotic comments that are posted. Considering I live in an area which is 90% Mexican American, I imagined more sensitivity towards people of Mexican heritage. Not quite. I have responded to a few, being polite and attempting to at least show them my opinion, but they usually keep degrading MA's. Here are some of the posts by others:

1. Car shows in the valley are the stupidest things in the world to go to.


2. The skies in the valley are not "beautiful".

You can find "beautiful" skies elsewhere.

3. Lunar eclipses occur much more often elsewhere in the world.

Stop making a list of the what-you-think is "cool" in the valley.

That list is bullshit.

Shut the fuck up and eat your own shit.

To the man who said Mcallen has a possibly thriving arts district.


Don't sit there and say that McAllen now understands the need for  culture and art. The only thing anybody is interested in, in the valley, is  to better themselves financially.

Art and culture isn't selling pointless knick knacks on a street once a month.  Art isn't wannabe white girls dressing like a dumb fuck hipster running a boutique.

Culture isn't rude, negligent, or "valley type".

The closest culture to the valley people is the mexican culture...but god forbid you say that "tejanos" are "mexican". they get so pissed.  TAKE A fucking geography and history class and realize that Texas was mexico not that long ago.

But anyways.

Art in Mcallen, let alone the valley is run by fake ass people...who are only interested in their own life, not spreading culture and art.

You insult me saying that you've lived in California before.

I'm from LA... where culture and art is vibrant, where the people are lively and vibrant.
You need lively and vibrant people for culture and outstanding art.
Valley people are rude, selfish, and irritable.... far from lively and vibrant.
Shut the fuck up and realize that the valley needs to change one thing.

The PEOPLE

I have started to view it everyday. It keeps me from being bored and sometimes I am inspired to keep living here and trying to change that perception of Rio Grande Valley. As well as wanting to create a stable outlet for creative writing and art. :-) I can do it (with help).
 
So, wherever you are from. Please appreciate the people & the history.
