I noticed I had not added anything in my blog recently and I had a draft to be finished and then publish. I ended up publishing it just now so the blog before this is from a few weeks back.
One thing I had in the title of the previous blog post was about speaking American or something.
I might as well talk about that now before people start to think I'm some prejudice ass or something (yes, it has happened before).
To reiterate, this is America, speak American!
There are many people in this state (and country) who, apparently can not do that. We all see it and we all know it. On the phone, in stores, in restaurants, on TV, everywhere. There is always those people we see or hear every day who do not, to this day speak nor know how to speak AMERICAN. I am not against any race or nationality out there but I honestly think it's time for there to be a rule, law, or statute which should be met when a person moves or has currently been staying in this country, let alone state.
I honestly think we are doing everything ass-backwards. Sure, this is considered a "free" country (although I don't know what the heck is free in this damn country anymore. Is it our freedom? Ha!! The government does not allow that anymore. Stay tuned in a couple years for those new RFID tags which will be implemented in our drivers licenses to track our habits! More on that can be found here.) Freedom of speech? Ha! That is pretty much gone too!) but there is no need for our country to stoop down low as to the point where we need to have things (well, everything) bi-lingual for people who come into this country and do not understand out native language.
When we go to another country, will there be people for us Americans who speak our native language? Highly doubtable. When we go to another country, will there be signs, documents, and objects in our American language? Highly doubtable too.
From now on, there should be a law for people who come to this country. The law is for there to be a class (or classes) developed, provided free by the wonderful (sarcasm there!) government. This class (or classes) will be specifically designed for others from another country who do not know how to speak our "native" language (which is just about all of them) and for others who do not know how to read out "native" language. These people must take this class and pass a verbal and written test to be able to obtain a Social Security Card in this country, which is required to live in this country. If the people want to live in a "Free Country," it shall be earned, not just handed to on a silver platter. All of us had to learn our language and how to do everything the "American Way" and learn out rules and laws to live in this country; the people who move here shall do the same! I think it's only fair, don't you?
I am honestly at the point where I am sick and tired of going to a damn drive through window to order food and not be able to understand what is being said because of the "broken" American language they are barely speaking (and ending up getting the wrong damn thing I DID NOT order or missing a few things I DID order!). I find not being able to speak "our" language while living in "our" country is a disgrace and slap in the face to "our" country. I am sick and tired of trying to call tech support or a credit card company or any other 800 number for any other reason and having to press "1" for English (our native language) and "Numero Dos for Espanol" No offense to any nationality or race as said above but.... this is America, and there should be no need for us Americans to press any number for our language nor to "select" our language in some other menu system in our Country.
I am also sick and tired of people coming into a retail store and having the nerve to ask me or another associate if we "speaka spanish." Why can't you "speaka American?" Are you not in America? Then why do you not know how to speak American? How do you go around in this Country by not being able to speak American? How is that possible? If you do not find a person who speaks "your" language, do you really like being talked to like a damn five year old trying to understand what we are saying and you talking to us like a five year old so we can try to understand what you are saying? Is that how you want to spend the rest of your life and is that how you want people to see you as? If that is the case, more power to ya!
If you are a tourist or something like that and come from wherever you came from and do not speak American, then that is OK. You are visiting and you do not really "need" to speak American. Surely it will be a little hard getting around not knowing our language but you'll manage to get by and it's only temporary so you have nothing to worry about.
But, if you live in this country and don't speak American by now then...... get da F out!!
I don't mean to be harsh but....... if we don't do something about this of the many issues, this country along with this world, is coming to an end! And that's a fact!
I can go on and on about this but it's after 5AM and I thought I'd be done with this sooner but once I start, I can't stop!
Comments and complaints is highly welcomed and encouraged!
Until next time....
