Unpopular Opinions

Ash2985

This thread went from making me want to smack people to making me really happy with Mitch Hedberg quotes.  Job well done, ladies.

I'm loving this thread now. I'm LOL and my co-worker is giving me funny looks from the other side of the glass that seperates us.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular Opinions : I totally agree that businesses should offer options, particularly international businesses.  However, my bank for example, is a small bank with branches only in my area.  I don't necessarily think its unreasonable for me to not have to press 1 for English when calling them. This is a very sticky subject - I don't say that I have all the answers.  I think I sometimes just get very very frustrated by it all.  I have no qualms about talking to, assisting or helping ESL people at all.  I <strong>am certainly not racist as someone suggested that anyone who has probelm with non-English speakers or persons with accents might be. Everyone who has come to this country over the last 200+ years was an immigrant or a refugee; but they made an effort to learn the language and become part of the melting pot.  </strong>We no longer have a melting pot - we're just little versions of other countries now.  It always comes across to me that people aren't even encouraged to learn the language (as they would be elsewhere), we just say ok...everything will be put into 25 different languages.

It makes me sad that Glee is still around but Viva Laughlin isn't.

I live Gilbert Az. which is in Maricopa County, and I know for a fact that prisoners here can not order Papa frickin John's! Nice generalization though.

Good night!  I just made it through this entire thread after lunch and another meeting.

if you're going to use your SN to demonstrate the difficulty of learning English, don't be a douchbag about it. say, "My SN is pronounced 'fish.'" you're not effing mister rogers.
