America's sweeping tide of diversity

QuidamOutrepont comments on Sep 13, 2019:

I think the future is mulatto. To hell with "racial purity". The only purity that matters to me comes from the heart. I was born in Montreal and I lived all of my life in town and in the suburbs. In much of its history, Montreal has always welcomed people from pretty much all over the world. The city would just be unthinkable without its diversity.

At the risk of sounding unpatriotic,.

Where were you on September 11, 2001?

QuidamOutrepont comments on Sep 12, 2019:

I was living in Montreal and I had a job as a graphic artist on the evening shift. I opened up my computer at home and I took a look at a news website. I read that thing about jetliners crashing into the Twin Towers in New York and my first reaction was "Why are they advertising video games on a news website?! That's not serious!" Then I went like "Oh! That's not an ad! That happened for real! That's insane!" A month before that, I went south of the border to go cycling along Lake Champlain in Vermont. Back then, I didn't need a passport to pass through the customs. I only needed to show my driver's license. Two years ago, I went to New York and I visited the Ground Zero memorial. Impressive.

I was 9. It was with Sophie, the sister of Serge, one of my best buddies. They lived right across the street from my family's house. She was a lovely petite dark eyed brunette. We had a childish boyfriend/girlfriend relationship for a couple of weeks. At that age, I had no "one thing leads to another" thing in my mind, I was too young for that. We were kissing in their backyard. Gently and slowly. She was sweet, tender. It felt good.

QuidamOutrepont comments on Aug 13, 2019:

"Hostie d'câlisse de sacrament d'tabarnak!" We French speaking Quebecers have a really weird way to swear. Instead of sex related curse words, we use religion related words. Words from the Catholic vocabulary tweaked in the local Quebecer accent. It may sound absurd, but if someone around here bangs his bare toes on a bed leg, it just comes out! The most notorious "sacre" is "Tabarnak", which comes from "Tabernacle", "A case or box on a church altar containing the consecrated host and wine of the Eucharist." There is "Hostie" which is the host, the sacramental bread, "Câlisse" (Chalice), "Sacrament", "Calvaire", "Ciboire". So much that the Quebecer tourists traveling in Latin America (Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic) are called by the locals "Los Tabarnacos"! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity
