I totally agree 100%! I agree with RYD, too. Enough is enough.

You know what burns my a$$....went into Lowe's tonite to look at some windows. Pick up the Pella brochure.....hold it one way and its english...flip it over and upside down and its all in spanish.

Walk through a sears store or other store in the mall....there is english and spanish on the signs....

You want to come to America....then you should speak the language!

Real estate commission in our state thinks we need to take Diversity classes so we know how to NOT offend non-americans....it offends me that I should be mandated to take such a stupid class!

Dont get me started......

i completly agree 100% its effin rediculous if you move to aonther country they expect you to learn their language, so if you come here learn ours! And in south florida these freakin spanish billboards, spanish when i go into a store im like no speak english! and then just spanish spanish spanish learnt he language if you move here. and also whats up with kids being able to go to public school take these programs where there education is in some other language. Also the driving booklet in florida is available in over 20 languages wtf is up with that. and this is my favorite story of all. I walked in to a burger king after a day of offroading, go to order the women asked me what i wanted to eat in spanish! So i said i dont speak spanish only enlglish, she answers i figured its better to answer in spanish first. calmy i ask for the manager, she then replies i am the manager. I flipped out yelling at her on how she should ask in english first becuase this is america and only offer her spanish to people who tell you that they do not speak english and how dare she ask me in another in language. then 3 other teenagers stood up and gave me a standing ovation, sure put that person in her spot for that. bottom line live in America learn how to speak english it should be a requirment for all people applying for citizenship.

When KenP took me to a NASCAR/Busch race in Virginia and I always wondered why the fans never spoke english.
