Verily.....

For if I speaketh Aramaic, none would understandeth Me in this place.

I'm sorry, but I agree.
There has to be some standard here.

Working a deal for vacation plans. Needed to make sure that my dad (a diabetic) was recorded as such for his meal service. Told the rep (who barely spoke English, let alone understand it) that he needed a "bland diet".

Bitch recorded him as fucking "blind".

Had to go round and round with the company again to get that taken off. All because that hispanic female working the phones in Miami doesn't have to speak English to work here.

The reptile brains are getting all fired up for another immigration fight this election season! Suckers.

The person that some of you fancy as the "Son of God" once said "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me."

Who do you conservatives despise other cultures so?

So English as a second language makes someone a "bitch"? C'mon Elly, you are better than that. Why does your post begin with "I'm sorry, but..."

[Ellyllions]

"Bitch" was used to show my frustration with the situation. Could you imagine what my dad's vacation would've been like had I not double-checked behind the rep? He and mom in a suite arranged for a blind person?

I hold no respect of persons. I just think that if the French can expect you to speak french to them (which is respectable) then there's no reason why there should be special circumstances for anyone in the US.

I've got no beef with the latest round of immigration talks other than it's slighted on the side of business instead the side of the immigrants. It's not as "nicey-nice" as people want to believe.

But thank you for trying. At least you're dependable.

Very well said, My son. Except for that "some of you" part.

Rare as it is for me to agree with Brie on anything, I do on this. I've encountered idiots in LA that refuse to learn English. I had one woman DEMAND I speak spanish to her, I told her (in my best broken spanglish) "You're in America. Speak ENGLISH."

Having said that, when I visited Mexico recently, I tried my best to communicate in Spanish out of courtesy....

I don't get this whole "threatened" feeling regarding English. It's already the most spoken language on earth. It's already the language used when a Chinese businessman speaks to a Japanese businessman. Aren't ENOUGH people speaking English for crying out loud?!
Think of how the French feel! French is becoming increasinly irrelevent as a world language. Now THEY should feel threatened, not us Americans. Frankly, all of us could probably broaden our horizons and at least learn a little Spanish, it's a wonderful tongue. Everywhere else on earth, educated folks have to learn a second language (and it is largely English) - why not us? We too damn good?

In 500 years you'll probably have about 1/4 of the planet speaking English, another 1/4 speaking Chinese, and the rest Spanish and Arabic. At least our language is destined for survival - and will not be obliterated with the rest of 'em. Lighten up.

There is no "threat".

If they want to live here, learn the fucking language!!!!


What the fuck is so difficult about that?

Send the fucking illegals back to Mexico or wherever, and require them to pass a basic English exam in order to become a legal, United States citizen!

PERIOD!!!

My point exactly. You wouldn't go to Russia or some shit and DEMAND the general populace speak English for YOU. Yet it's seen as somehow "racist" in LA to presume that someone who is here by choice shouldn't have to make ANY effort to assimilate... it's fucking crazy.

I do agree with HR69....I think that one of the requirements of the Mexican Imigrant workers is they should take a basic one Year English/American Culture Course, in order for them to assimilate into our Culture better...

The Borders should be closed better though.

[ELVIS]

The borders should be closed, PERIOD!
