"This is Merica, why don't learn english?"

[spyder]

So, this is what happened to me at the store earlier today... I was in the check out line at Safeway, and this little Mexican child starts speaking Spanish to me... I don't understand him at all. This old lady turns to me and says: "It's ok, he didn't say anything bad, maybe one day you should learn Spanish, and then she turned around". I was stunned at first, and was trying to come up with something better than "go back across the border" or something, but before I could come up with anything, this old guy behind me stepped out from behind and told her: "Your in (and I swear he said it) Merica! Why don't you learn you kids some damn English so he can communicate!" I had to have had a giant ass grin on my face at that point, anyway, I turned around, told the guy thanks, and checked out. It was great.

Classic! It's the melting pot. You blend into our society, not the other way around.

You're right but the government and these imports think otherwise.

[Gman]

You're right but the government and these imports think otherwise.

...but of course. The politicians have determined that what was right is now wrong and what was wrong is now right.

Thanks to the idiotic feel-good voters. We're so screwed.

Lorry =Truck and my favorite Shunt = Crash What I find fascinating is you can find people that come from places like Ghana who can speak English and I remember a Destination Truth where they were way out in BFE and the people there spoke some English.
