Re: hmm

Does not bother me, but should it?

It is sort of like the fact that the curb in front of my house is curved instead of flat. I never really thought about it until I was trying to find an analogy. And when I did, I just do not see why it matters.

Re: hmm

OOooh, I guess it was the elderly? Are we talking about Asian Americans, elderly Asian Americans, or just the whole transition all together?

I think it is enough. I am throwing down my laptop, tossing my remote, and saying "DAMNIT, ENOUGH ABOUT THE DAMN TRANSITION TO DIGITAL TELEVISION". I am tired of seeing it scroll across EVERY DAMN SHOW I WATCH on the networks. STOP IT! IT IS ANNOYING ME!!!!

To piss on my wounds I have satellite. I understand I am getting feeds from local stations but COME ON!! I have never seen so much freaking information about "something" since new coke.

Well, I wonder, do they even bother to qualify poll participants with questions such as, "Do you watch off-air broadcast television?".

If you are surveying an elderly Asian woman who doesn't speak English, how many OTA TV channels are they watching in the first place? Sounds about as useful as polling a bunch of deaf people about XM's sound quality.

Nope. You live here, you speak the language. Language-isolated communities really tick me off.

They don't tick me off as much as annoy me when someone whines about how they might be left behind on some issue because they choose to live in isolation.

Re: hmm

It's a little bit of both. You come here for a better life in the US, learn to speak the frigging language. No reason to leave your heritage behind, but don't isolate yourself either.

No.

If they prefer their own language, they can move home.

Hell, if they want to live in isolation, more power to them - it's a free country. But, this is a consequence of living that way.
