I have no problem with listening and taking someones suggestions if their suggestions will benefit me, but I do not like orders.<br /><br />I am a grown-ass man. You WILL not order me to do anything. I guess that is why I got out of the Army the first time. (Notice I said First time. I am currently in the Reserves. God help me.)<br /><br />Third, and this is basically what this post is about....<br /><br />If you want to work in this country and get your share of the "American Pie" speak the motherf$%^#&ing language!!<br /><br />Granted, I do speak Spanish (pequito), Do not expect me to automatically switch to Spanish to suit you.<br /><br />Or Swahili, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Arabic, Martian or whatever the hell you speak.<br /><br />This is America. We speak English here. Bad English, but English none the less.<br /><br />How far would I get in another country if I did not speak that Country's main language?<br /><br />Or at least attempt to speak it?<br /><br />I lived in Germany for 5 years and I can testify to the fact that if a person makes an effort to try to understand the culture and language of another country, that person will be greeted with open arms. (Yes I know a little German also.)<br /><br />To me it is common courtesy to try to understand the people you have to live with, do business and interact with on a daily basis.<br /><br />So why is it that people come here and automatically expect me (Or any Natural Born American) to accommodate them and their culture, religion, language, food, and whatever the hell else?<br /><br />I don't want this to sound like a Republican Rant, but this sh*&t here pisses me off.<br /><br />Tolerance can only go so far. If you cannot communicate with me and you expect me to give you a job or help you in any way, how in the hell am I supposed to give you a job or help you?<br /><br />I'll wait...<br /><br />No answer?<br /><br />Oh, I forgot....<br /><br />No Habla Inglis.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-2385899-1"; urchinTracker(); </script></div>Dirty Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01508696230100618659noreply@blogger.com
