Every day I'm forced to press one for english. You call customer service @ AOL, thats AMERICA online and I'm routed to a representative in So. Africa. So now not only do you have to press 1 for eng. but now I need a translator cause now I can't understand what they're saying on the phone. You're not an american 100%, then you shouldn't get the perks that come with citizenship. Recently I had a cable service tech in my home, He proceeded to get on his cell phone and coverse in another language. I politely told him that he is holding an american job, also I'm paying for this service with my hard earned american dollars. I told him as long as he was on this job he would speak english.

So if I am from South America, I am not American? What about Canada, if I were from Canada, I would be North American then wouldn't I. I thought if I were from Mexico, then I would be from Central America, although I would be Mexican if this were the case, but wouldn't being born in a country from Central America make me somewhat of an American? It's 2008, maybe you should come out of your cave and learn more than just English? I was born in Tampa, the U.S.A., and I speak more than one language? Did you ever think about learning more than one language?

What language is spoken in this country? I'm impressed that you know more than one language,although you sarcasm is neanderthal. I was simply saying that when I went to mexico I made sure that I could communicate with the natives. What sir is our native language? I respect the cultures of other countries, but I also expect my culture to be respected in my own home.

It could be considered Ebonix, Redneck, or English. So do you respect the other cultures on a part time basis? I am sure your culture is respected in your home, but your home is not everywhere. What about the Seminole Indians, do they have a language, do we respect it? There are many languages spoken in all countries regardless of the shallow point you are trying to make that English is our national language. I agree that it is inconvienent that you have to wait press 1, but it is not the end of the world, there are many more important things to worry about than having to press an extra button on the phone. So you communicated with the natives in Mexico when in their country, what about now, do you just sit back and label them as minorities that don't force you to press 1 on the phone here in the U.S.?

Kewl..you like to argue..I've noticed in a few of your blogs. The fact that you have completely missed the point. I should not have to make thet adjustment in my own home. As far as the rest of the world is concerned I conform. Your narrow views are just that narrow. We need more bleeding hearts like you in this country to push the handcart that this country is going to h#$$ in.

I have not missed the point, but you have, I answered your questions, you stated that you should not have to make the on adjustment in your own home, did you now read what I wrote prior to your last post? Your home is not everywhere. You have not anwered one of my questions, while I have responded to your questions, are you a politician? Thanks for the great compliment on my views that are just narrow, good one? This country is in Hell, have you seen the economy steadily drop, did you know we are at war with Iraq? The dollar is losing it's value so fast, peoples retirement money is vaporizing, S.S., will there be any at this rate? Are you a racist all the time or just part of the time?

I believe that I said as far as the rest of the world is concerned I CONFORM..I think that meant that I adjust to the world, not the other way around. As far as threst of the things you mention in your last post. I'm against the war. I am sick and have NO health coverage. I go to the county health deparment and am faced with a Dr that is almost impossible to understand because of the broken english. As far as the S.S. crisis is concerned Why we are giving away our dollars to people who don't deserve it. You should not be given a check for the rest of your life because your an addict. This country has gotten itself in the sad state it's in, and I blame myself for thinking that the election process is tainted. There's no money left now. We are paying our governments bills on what amounts to phunny munny. The more they print the less the dollar is worth. We sold out and to many are still blind to this.

Oh, I never mentioned anything pertining to ones race in my blog. Race has nothing to do with it. Are you always blind or just part of the time??

I am blind part of the time, I wear contacts and glasses sometimes, so when I am not using contacts or glasses, I am partially blind. How did you know? You did not mention anything to one persons race, but the entrire blog is against other races that are not English speakers. It is not a persons fault cause their relatives weren't born in the same place, or they their parents came from a different country. You left Mexico in lower case, which is disrespectful it's race, you mentioned So. Afica as if a person from there representative were not good enough? Don't they speak English in parts of South Africa? Or would that make them American too?

I guess that when you put it that way I'm further convinced that it is the RWNJ that has sold out our country in the first place, while swimming in the river of denial. My mother, sister and many other family members were considered legally blind.I have a nephew who has lost all of his sight because a RWNJ runs the social services department. I'll curb mine when you tell me how it felt to tell your kids that I'm sorry I can't buy you new shoes cause I have to buy food. And don't tell me of your rw government programs I've had my experience with them also. I've been one of the working poor my whole life. Tell me what it's like to have to do whatever it takes to feed and house your family because your government has forgotten you. I'll no longer have this battle of wits with an unarmed individual.

RWNJ how original? I am sorry for the hardships you have endured in your life, and I am even more sorry for the fact the government has forgotten you! I think the government has forgotten more than just you though, I think that I am a pawn on their chessboard of life, and looked at a as a number and not a being. Your number might be 5 and might be 6? I don't have any rw programs, just my personal beliefs. You and I are not in the best interest or elite groups, special clubs? The groups who dont give a bleep about you and me. I hope you win the lottery, so maybe things get a little better?

...English is not the United States of America's official language, in fact, we have no official language. They've been trying to change this as a factor in the ongoing illegal immigration debate but with opposition.

...Seems like you guys could have saved yourselves a whole lot of arguing with a five second google search.

I like to read and respond to blogs. Asking lots of questions is the beginning of an adventure to find the answer.
