72. Yeah, you must think they are stupid for not recognizing an English word

what's the matter with these Argentinians?

of course, even in Spanish, Parana, doesn't mean piranha or fish.

and you probably think, well, the word is only a few letters different than "Piranha" (in another language no less) and based on your misspellings here, you probably think that should be close enough.

am i right?

Did the children know the danger? Penicilino Dec 2013 #26

So hikers being attacked by bears or mountain lions is funny to you? jberryhill Dec 2013 #30

well your excuse for not reading the article in the other thread you were commenting on... CreekDog Dec 2013 #76

I imagine we all of us rationalized our mocking and petulant behavior as something justified when in LanternWaste Dec 2013 #15

70 people. Not 'a few'. Some children lost entire fingers and toes. PeaceNikki Dec 2013 #20

Nice defense: "I laugh at adults and children who lose fingers in Florida, too!" nt Penicilino Dec 2013 #29

Why are you quotting something i never said? darkangel218 Dec 2013 #31

Even worse: "I only laugh at Argentinians who lose fingers to fish, not people from my country" Penicilino Dec 2013 #32

Never said such thing. darkangel218 Dec 2013 #36

The obligatory question: Do you laugh at those in Florida attaked by sharks? Penicilino Dec 2013 #37

Did you just join DU to flamebait? darkangel218 Dec 2013 #33

Being mad at someone who laughs at children who lose fingers is not flamebait. Trust me nt Penicilino Dec 2013 #34

Yah, it is. I defended the animals habitat. darkangel218 Dec 2013 #38

Sharks bite too, yet you won't admit to laughing about Florida victims of sharks Penicilino Dec 2013 #39

I gave you an example of what animals do in their habitat. darkangel218 Dec 2013 #43

Do you "lol" at people in Florida who get bitten by sharks yes or not? Penicilino Dec 2013 #49
