it is a thread about a group of people living next to me who steal my trashcan, and I happen to believe that loud gatherings of people shouting at each other in a quiet neighborhood when they have only just arrived is pretty unsociable. Did you not read the bits about integration?
Hey, I'm not picking a fight with you! I'm stating my opinion. You're the one who brought up that they were speaking Russian as if it mattered. Had you left out that, then you'd have a basis for responding that it doesn't matter. My bad about the "white" comment. I should have said "different", not "white".
I think people use the word "integration" to mean "become as I am". So no, I don't believe in this type of "integration". I believe people should be proud of their cultures and keep them and pass them on from generation to generation. I know some cultures are louder than others such as Latins, Greeks and Russians. Have you heard of tolerance? It means tolerating things that you might not like. If your neighborhood is quiet, well maybe it needs to come alive. Maybe this will be a new trend. Either way, if my neighbors were outside having a good time I would be happy for them. I might even mix up some margaritas and invite myself over!
As far as the trash-bin. I totally agree with you. I think they're being rude! On a positive note, someday you will have this as a funny antecdote to relate in a social gathering. It's almost sit-com worthy. But for now, I would call the police. How annoying.
