    You can't be more rude than this. This in a way equals "Get your son out of this place or put something in his mouth". That's why he's responded like that. If you find someone annoying, first you need to take up a softer route to handle them. You need some patience. If they continue to do the same even after your request, you can blast off. That's natural. [btw, what's the need here to say that he was a mexican?:~ ]

    I think it was pointless to add that detail in the original post. I've seen people be inconsiderate in movie theaters where ethnic background had nothing to do with it at all.

      Um..not to burst your bubble or anything but "native" north americans are from northern asia and we're all from africa if you go back far enough.

          It's worth noting that in America, everyone here is from somewhere else. ;)

          Not Leckey - she was genetically moulded from American soil and just started existing one day spontaneously :-)

            Two-year old kids are usually dificult to control at any place where they must be quiet (cinema, church), that is not just for Mexicans.

            it was the 'Mexican bravado' of the guy that made him say such a statement to me

            I don't think it comes from being Mexican. I am also, and in that situation, if you told me something about my kid being quiet, I would be terribly ashamed and my reply would have been "I am real sorry, it won't happen again." And if it kept happening I would have left with my kid. That politeness (or rudeness) does not come with the nationality, but from the education you get at home.

            Without wanting to start a debate here, how do you know they were illegal? If they are not, they have basically the same rights to American resources as you do. My conclusion here, them being rude on you comes from their own personality and education, and in no way is related to being Mexican. Whether you agree or not with immigration is another thing, but you cannot dislike Mexicans because one was rude to you.

              I have absolutely no problem with legal immigrants. The US allows over 2 million legal immigrants a year. If one does it legally, I have no problem.

                  I must disagree there. The first, polite, request is impilcit in being inside a movie theatre. People should not have to ask you this at all, and when they have to ask, they impolite party already has continued with the same undesirable behaviour.

                      To some extent it's true but to a great extent it's false. Everthing is dependent on the degree. The degree one could stand to another's annoyance, and the degree a person really annoys the other. I think lecky loses nerve very soon. She had mentioned the mexcian was behind her. Why people from both the sides didn't say any thing to them? Why she broke first? So to a great extent it's depenedent on the patience. The annoyance even could've been very little but the still problem brusts, if the neighbour(Leckey) is very Intolerant. But I also agree many people lack etiquette in common place.:sigh:
