I don't, and I dread the next question, which is "Why not". It's because my father's parents moved to Brooklyn from Mexico in the early 1920's and didn't have a Hispanic neighborhood to live in, so they didn't speak Spanish much at home and my father never spoke it and my mother was Scottish and German so I never learned Spanish. Another annoying question: "How come someone (meaning me) named Garcia plays bluegrass? My answer" it's not bluegrass, it's Old Time Country." and I leave it at that. I bet no one ever asked Jerry Garcia why he played American music. |

The formula "What part of ________ don't you understand?" is often used by bullies. They want to make it look like other people are stupid, when the real issue is whether the bullies are entitled to what they are demanding. I remember a case where some people started a gated community in New Mexico [or maybe Arizona] and were shocked to discover that the school district, which had been in place for decades, would be educating their kids with the neighbors' kids. How they howled! A resident sneered, "What part of GATED COMMUNITY don't you understand?" See what I mean? |

16 Jun 10 - 04:35 PM (#2929345) Subject: RE: BS: Questions that make you defensive From: Jim Dixon About once a month or so, I will have a coughing fit. Usually it's because I inhale a tiny bit of whatever I am eating. I don't know why I am more prone to this than other people, but I am used to it. It lasts only half a minute, and then I'm fine, but in the meantime, I can't talk because I'm too busy coughing. If anyone is present other than my immediate family (they're used to it too) they will usually ask, "Are you all right?" I wish I could tell them: "Just leave me alone; I'll be all right in a minute." But of course I can't say anything. It seems ridiculous to nod my head "Yes" because obviously I am not "all right." If I were "all right" I wouldn't be coughing, would I? On the other hand, if I shake my head "No" they're likely to be alarmed and think they should DO SOMETHING. Often people will offer me a glass of water. Water does absolutely no good, because water, when you swallow it properly, doesn't go where the irritation is, which is in the lungs. If water did go into the lungs, it would only cause more coughing. Yet people persist in offering it. I don't know why. So to avoid making a fuss, I have to say (or convey with gestures) "Yes, I'm all right," although it's a lie, and accept a glass of water, although it does no good, and take a token sip of it as soon as I can, just to show everyone I'm somewhat functional, and I'm not going to keel over, or whatever it is they're afraid I'm going to do. It's a bloody nuisance. |

16 Jun 10 - 05:51 PM (#2929395) Subject: RE: BS: Questions that make you defensive From: Little Hawk In our local song circles when someone asks, "Who wrote that song?", they are generally asking because they really like the song, and they'd like to know who wrote it so they can find out about some other good songs the same person wrote...or maybe find out what CD it's on...or if it was written by the person who just played it, in which case they can compliment them for such good songwriting skills. In any case, it's not a question that strikes me as offensive at all, unless it's accompanied by a look and a tone of voice that tells you they think the song sucked! ;-) (and that almost never happens) |

17 Jun 10 - 11:42 AM (#2929885) Subject: RE: BS: Questions that make you defensive From: Jim Dixon I guess my wife and I both have ways of asking questions that irritate each other. Here's how one exchange went. I have several times mentioned my intention of fixing up my old bicycle so I can ride it. I know I need more exercise, and this seems like a tolerable way to get it. So my wife asks me, "Are you sure you CAN ride a bike?" Now, what kind of question is that? One does not "forget" how to ride a bike. OK, I realize now, although I didn't fully realize then, that her underlying message is that she's concerned about my health and safety. She's probably worried that I might overdo it and give myself a heart attack, or I might fall down and hurt myself. But I'm not stupid. I won't overdo it or take unnecessary risks. I am by nature a cautious person, perhaps TOO cautious. She knows this, or ought to know it by now. In fact, I have some of the same fears myself. Maybe that's why I have procrastinated so long about getting the bike fixed. But I, perhaps stupidly, perhaps out of irritation, decide to ignore the underlying message and respond only to the literal aspect of her question. So I give the only logical answer: "OF COURSE I can ride a bike." This doesn't satisfy her. After some more awkward discussion, we get around to addressing her real meaning: "Are you sure you can ride a bike without hurting yourself?" And again, I give her the only possible logical answer: "Well, I won't know until I try, will I?" And then I add (truthfully): "You sound skeptical. I feel like you're trying to discourage me." Then she responds, "Oh, no. That's not what I meant at all." So then I ask the question that puts her on the defensive: "Well then, what exactly DID you mean?" My wife's way of being defensive is to clam up. She says, "I don't know. I really don't know what I meant." We have hit a brick wall. I am left on my own to figure out what the argument was all about. Unlike me, my wife is not very introspective. She says whatever comes into her head, and then, as the moments pass, and the mood changes, she is unable to put herself back in the frame of mind she was in at the beginning of the argument, unable to analyze or even remember what she was thinking when she made the remark that set the whole thing off. I, on the other hand, analyze things almost obsessively. What a pair we are! |
