I told them this too when they e-mailed me and said they redesigned the page.

They said they liked the look, and isn't mockery one of the highest forms of flattery?

GiftFiesta is a great site.

Who gives a shit what the site looks like? They ship stuff out quick and all that.

I think they are going for trickery

if they can trick casual users into thinking they are freepay, then they get more signups

I like the tv shows freebie

just not the 2 offers for it

lame. they even took the actual button that freepay uses.
there's nothing wrong with mimicking something, but recreating the whole website is rather lame

I don't mind you calling it tacky, as that is a fact which I agree with.

But Mexican? It's like calling Trainn an African American.

That is Mexican.

Now they may not be Mexican. But saying fiesta to me implies that they are Mexican. Now they may not be Mexican, but it just ran through my mind when I was looking at their network. But for all I know they may be just trying to say that it's a gift party. But I just thought Mexican when I saw this network.

Not a big deal, but oh yeah, it has to be with you. And you don't have to throw an insult at me about it either.

fiesta

Noun
A festival or religious holiday, especially a saint's day celebrated in Spanish-speaking countries.
Etymology
Spanish, from Vulgar Latin liflista ; see feast.

Hmm...don't see anything about it being Mexican there. What? There are more Spanish speaking countries than Mexico? Who would have thought!

Tone down your stupidity and I'll treat you like I treat the people who show maturity and intelligence. If you can't handle it, don't be racist.

Racist would be saying "Mexicans are inferior to whites" or something like that, not saying a "fiesta" has the connotation of being Mexican.

Spanish and Mexicans share a similar culture. They both have fiestas. Don't tell me that they don't.

I don't want to get in a big flame war right now as I have some trades to deal with, but sheesh, why are you so offended with me? I wasn't trying to be racist. I just said I thought it was funny and Mexican popped into my mind when I saw the Fiesta part.

If you should be mad at anyone, be mad at turpentine.

Call me stupid if you want. I couldn't care less. I can think of Mexicans when I see GiftFiesta if I want. It doesn't mean I'm being racist. I'm not using Mexican in a derogatory way.

So shut up.

I never called it that. Turpentine did. I said that the same thing ran through my mind. I didn't say that I thought it was exactly "Tacky Mexican Freepay" but I thought it was really tacky how they copied Freepay and it seemed of the Mexican culture to me. Big deal.

You're right, I have better things to do than to debate with someone about the difference of a country is.

I replied with turpentine with the roll icon, and you still pushed it which made me reply to you as well.

And you might want to educate me on how the Mexican culture is the same as from Spain.

And I'm not having a "flame war" but merely telling you. You want to push it when you know I'll be around to comment on certain topics. If you can't handle it, don't say anything, but don't be a child and tell me to shut up.

And hurling insults like that is less childish?

I told you that I just didn't feel like having a big flame war because I'm dealing with someone about a trade right now and I don't want to have to keep coming back to this thread to check on it.

Normally I'm fine with arguing.

And I never said that Mexican and Spanish cultures were the same. I said they share [b7bcc693eaf]a similar culture.[/b7bcc693eaf]

You do realize that you are offended to some extent to go through all of this trouble.

You can't tell me you're not.

And if this was my thread I really wouldn't care if people started posting about another subject. If it keeps my thread on the top, I don't care. You can still get back on subject. That's just my opinion though, I'm sure a lot of peopel find thread jacking annoying.
