Puerto Ricans

I know I know I already sound racist, but I'm not. I have a very diverse assortment of friends. But there is a problem with some "Puerto Ricans".
Ok, I live in central Florida, and have for a while. In the last 5 years or so I have seen the most "Puerto Rican Pride" ever. My school is infested with hispanics. I have a couple of problems.
Problem number one: Too much pride. They have too much pride in "their country". Everywhere I go I see those stupid 'Mi orgullo' stickers on everyone's car. Which means my pride or my flag or somethin'. My problem with that is they live in the USA and 95% of them have never stepped foot in P.R. I'm Irish but you don't see me with Ireland pride on my car, cause simply I've never been there, probably never will.
Problem numero dos (help the spanish speakers): They all think they are from New York. Yet again 95% probably haven't been there. Yay go New York!!
Problemo numero tres: The music. It is all over the pop music stations. It's frankly quite annoying. If I can't understand it and 85% of the listeners can't understand it don't put it on my channel. An example is Daddy Yankee. How are you seriously gonna be called Daddy Yankee when you are not American. Good job bright one.
Problemo numero quatro: The language. I have no problem with the Spanish language but when I go to McDonald's to get a cheeseburger and you can't understand me because your dumb ass can't understand our language then don't work at a language oriented job. Also everywhere I go I hear them mumbling on in Spanish. I can't stand it. When are you going to use Spanish here in America. Never!

This concludes my rant.

Movie theaters

I am a movie fan. I like going to the movies with family and friends. But I have noticed a problem or two.
One being kids. Kids seem to have little respect for anyone around them, especially in large groups. They are immature, loud, and overall annoying. These kids kick your seat, yell, throw things, and other generally obnoxious behaviors.
I think that all movies should have an age limit with or without adults/ guardians/ parents. For instance at the movie Hills Have Eyes 2. I don't want to see a group of 12 year olds sitting in the back with an adult beside them watching them. No one adult can control 6 12 year olds, I'm sorry it just ain't happenin'.
Another similar problem is babies. They cry all of the time. Any action, horror, or even some kids movies have several scenes in which there is a surprising part. 99% of the time the baby starts crying.
Also during the movie the baby is trying to talk to its parents and they do little to nothing to hush it. Tonight I saw Spiderman 3 with my father. We sat next to a man and his daughter. The little girl was probably between 12-24 months old. During the entire movie she talked. Eventually my father told the girl to be quiet politely and the father got defensive. He told my father to never shush his daughter and my father told him he would get the manager and the man told my father to get the manager. My father was the bigger man and just turned towards the screen and sat quietly.
I have a solution however. I propose all movie theaters be required to have daycares for young children. I know it is hard for some people to find babysitters and still insist on going to the movies anyways. Kids have short attention spans, it is just a fact.

Thus concludes my rant. Have a smashing day!
