    Default I know it's not PC, but I'll say it: this really annoys me




    If I moved to Guadalajara, I know I wouldn't get a poster in English made especially for me.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."

    I associate "the right to work" with "the right to have a job". Not the same thing, but it makes me go apeshit when people think they have the "right" to something such as $15/hr for working the counter at McD's, or the "right" to a cell phone, and high speed internet.

    I got most of my Obamacare correspondence in English and Spanish. I would open the mail box and there would be two of everything, even though they asked repeatedly if I would prefer correspondence in English of Spanish.

    I don't have an issue with the bilingual aspect of the poster, but the "based on citizenship" is a hard pill to swallow.

    It pisses me off to no end, with the spanish option on phone calls, and on guberment documents, and etc, etc.

    All that shit costs a lot of money, and we're paying for it. I can't express *fuck you* large enough.

    .........end mini rant.

    Well right to work is a misnomer anyway, since in right to work states, your employer can fire you for any reason or no reason.

    The business no longer needs your services is not a valid reason to terminate employment?
