So, no one should ever speak in a foreign language to annoy you then? And do you think this country wasn't founded by foreigners? Some not even <gasp> speaking english.

God forbid if someone should sit near you in a restaurant and speak in their own language

Gees don't be so stupid.

So you illegally sneak into a house and tell the owner he needs to start speaking your language because you are too poor to learn English. You avoid all the expense and trauma of immigration. You earn cash in hand money without taxes or deductions.

Sorry, I'm not buying it. This world is full of short-cutters, cheapskates and criminals who depend on pillars of strength like me to pick up their slack and get them through life.

If you are happy to do this, then fine. I'm taking matters into my own hands.
Hey Warrior I'm in NJ, let's discuss this mano to mano, over a meal, I know this great Mexican restaurant, let me know.

Survival of the fittest. English became the predominant language, and those who come here should have the decency to assmiliate and learn the language. Go move to Japan and speak English...see where it gets you.

Of course, liberals (and my God is this a neo-liberal forum!!) are the ones to blame for pussy footing around this issue and turning the US into a haven for the weak and the lazy because it's 'nice'.

If you leave all the doors and windows open in your house and the lights on, do you not share some of the blame?

Your allegation that all those who chose not to greet the POE officer do not pay taxes or deductions are simply incorrect.

You can't...and shouldn't...ban me because of the responses a thread gets...afterall you're the one posting them. At least I create debate and discussion which is more than YOU ever do.

I have friends who cannot get a job because they are not bilingual or cannot communicate effectively with Spanish speaking people. That's just plain wrong. Plus having to deal with dual-language newspapers and menus, etc etc is ridiculous. The same thing happened to England with it's pro-muslim PC brigade.

People like the liberal lot have ruined this world. It's the same reason I can't see an uncensored movie or listen to the full lyrics of a song on the radio. I hope they are happy - they have watered down this society so much that you can't even fart without someone trying to sue you. I'd hate to be next to them in the trenches!!

That's marvellous to hear. You're going to single-handedly solve the illegal immigrant problem. Would you please share with us precisely how you intend to do this?
