Look i aint racist i just love my country. When the immagrants came in in the '20's and 30's and before the took classes to learn our language so they could be productive members of society. I want a Ranch and if i find out that someone is not here leagally then they are gone back to where ever they came from.
What are your thoughts?

call the company and tell them you will no longer do business with them until such time they remove the issue you have with them

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's funny when someone says something like this, yet has to clarify before hand that they're not racist. You probably wouldn't like it around here. Signs in Spanish all over the place!

Is everyone aware that the United States of America has no official language.
Most assume it's English
Most want it to be English
Most complain about others speaking another language
Legal/Illegal/Purple/Green - there is still no official language.
Give it a break - and before I get personal attacks, English is not my first language.

attack me attack me ppplllllllzzzzz
mistress fran
and oh yeah
yes i knew that u s has no official language
Morning {{{{{{adj}}}}} 
didnt mean my response to sound like an attack on anyone.
This conversation will flow as follows:
1 - people should all speak English (because we say so)
2 - those that dont speak English should go back to whereever they came from (regardless if born here)
3 - those that dont speak English got here illegally (generalized to insult entire nationalities)
4 - those illegals are taking our jobs
then escalates into one vs the other

oh sunshine, I got your message - just wanted to expand on it.
My question would be instead of complaining about others why not do something about yourself. But I would need more coffee to wake up incase there's a reply

well it comes down to a positive attitude vs negative attitude
do i like pushing one no
they could have a number for each language
but then woould that raise the cost of product or service
or would raise business flow thus lowering the price of business
so i will do as is needed at least it is 1 for english
not 1 spanish
2 geman
3 chinese
4 russian
5 english
YET

HA yes! that is what i'm talking about^^^ (ya beat me to the post)
Whether the english language is the official American language or not, it has been this way for years.
I agree that if the immigrants come to this country they should at least know how to speak the language.
And yes, I do get upset when I have to press 1 for English.
It's bad enough that we're losing our jobs overseas. It's getting to the point more and more that America is feeling like overseas as well.
Can we not hold on to anything that our ancestors relished in?
I can't believe it's still 'press 1 for english'. It'll be a point in time where it'll say 'press 1 for spanish, press 2 for french, press 3 for english'
I love my country...and I want to keep it as such.
