If money wasn't an obstacle, I would 100% tell you learn piano.

I played saxaphone for about a decade, and some guitar, but I found it easier to practice piano because most of the music I was learning was written to be played alone. I hated practicing sax and guitar because everything I played really needed a full band to sound complete.

Otherwise go guitar, you can get a cheap guitar for $100. Or you could just rent an instrument.

[QUOTE="ROFLCOPTER603"]You and others need to stop using what I bolded as a point. The senator didn't reject the speaking of Spanish, he rejected the speaking of spanish when the guy's been here for so long. Call him racist all you want, but it's not a strong argument.The man's lack of respect for American culture clearly shows that he is not someone reliable to be providing testimony for an immigration bill.nocoolnamejim

I don't feel like it has so much to do it disrespecting American "culture" so much as it can feel like people are being deliberately difficult and self-important when they refuse to learn a language. I put it on par with moving to a new country and refusing to transition to their system of currency.

Honestly, I think the Senator came across as an ass and I think what happened is a bit of a non-issue, but I get why people are pissed with people that don't make an effort to learn to communicate with the other 96% of the American population.

Nintendo is going for the same market of people that buy iPads. I'm sure they'll make a bundle, but I don't think I'll be buying one for at least quite a few years after their release.

What? No they arent.

The Wii U touch screen controller is nothing more than a wireless (blue tooth I think) controller with a high quality display touch screen that recieves a live video feed from the Wii U itself. The controller has no memory saving capabilities, no cpu's or gpu's. All it has is the stuff that convential remotes have, along with a touch screen. Once you get a certain distance away from the Wii U console (Im assuming around the same distance of current wireless controllers), the Wii U touch screen controller will no longer be able to work. It is in no way intended to be a handheld console or a tablet. It is just a controller with a new, possibly innovative, design and concepts.

I never called it a handheld or tablet.

I wonder what would've happened if he explained his situation and asked first.

I think people get upset because a newborn is completely defenseless and there is pretty much nothing it could've deliberately done to provoke an attack, other than cry or poop.

Well, those are pretty offensive to some people.

Well I meant more that people become apathetic when a street rat gets gunned down over drugs because he made a few choices along the way that lead him to that point.

Babies don't walk into bars and start trash talking angry truckers or go home and beat up their wives.

If I already liked someone, I don't think any height would be an issue.

Sorry, but Texas was, and is a hispanic state. It still strongly carries that culture and influence no matter how much the White Bread and Picket Fence Brigade wishes that it didn't.

Most of the legal immigrants I've talked to since I've moved here take the English-speaking thing more seriously than the non-Hispanic population does.

Ancedotal arguments FTW!

Because I wasn't just pointing out that it's not a "White America" problem.

The man knows English, but feels his testimony would come across better if he gave it in Spanish. Big deal. There was a translator there to convert the testismony to English. There was absolutely no problem at all with the setup. The senator's simply being a grandstanding dick who's showboating for his voters. Hell, you're in Texas, why aren'tyou speaking Spanish?

worlock77

Probably because Texas is part of America, where the majority speaks English. It does not matter who it once belonged to, because it is a part of the U.S. now.

In high school, I preferred drummers, but I know the type you're describing.

My first semester of school, there were these two lesbians I started hanging out, and the one taught herself maybe 3 chords on an accoustic. They'd take her crappy $50 guitar and sit by the pond on campus and sing Avril Lavigne together. I found out she dropped out of high school to be a song writer, so when that failed, she went back to school so she could get a degree in Philosophy.

I pretty much pulled myself away from that group. I felt humiliated just being around them.
