3. LOL! This is all nonsense designed to be whipping up the |
|
right wing. How soon before their next attempt at painting themselves as victims? Another round of whining about affirmative action?
All I can say is the terrorists had better all be dead for them to complain about their victimization at the hands of the non-English speaking.

And I don't know whether to consider the irony of it funny or horribly predictable of this administration.

19. Those who can't teach, administrate. |
|
And those who can't administrate, run for office.
Between us, we've just summed up W's entire professional career in 3 sentences.

11. english should not be our main language |
|
i am sorry if people are that lazy and bothered by seeing spanish or whatever posted. I heard on CNN someones comments about it and it made me want to puke. They were sick of having to listen to the option of hearing press 1 for english or two for spanish. What do people not understand about this country? we are a melting pot!!!! I think it is something we SHOULD strive for, it is a privilege to learn another language and also a way to expand your mind and understanding of other cultures. I am just so sick of these bigots and it makes me not proud to be an american. People around the world do make concessions for us, they may not like it but they do and i think we have a duty to do the same for them. :rant:

12. I'll tell him and anyone else |
|
I'm a free human being and will speak whatever languange I wish to speak.
A good phrase to learn and use with the "protect our culture" people is "Yo no hablo Ingles con usted," which is I don't speak English with you.
