I don't mind the melting pot. But learn the language. Keep your second language and teach your kids both by all means and keep your tradutions and faith and food active they have been a valuable assest to our country. But English has been the official language of the US forever lets keep it that way. And because I was born and raised here and I know only that language to say that I am stupid is an insult. Lets see I am retired from the police dept after ruining my back in an accident. When I was hired I was one of 5 women on the department and had a great career working the streets the whole time not sitting behind a desk...I live in pain. I taught myself medical transcription and am extremely accurate when I have to be. Don't go by the way I talk on these forums cause I use short cuts just tired of typing and in transcription you type one letter and depending on how I set it up a whole sentence types out. And now I am starting a job with Cisco as the Delivery Coordinator for the Atlantic Region. So I'm not stupid. I pretty proud I have an AS degree in Criminal Justice. The rest is self taught. I don't have the desire or need to know another language. But if I moved myself to Japan I would learn Japanese and not expect them to speak English to accommodate me...I also raised two kids on my own for the past 10 years one soon to be police officer and the other either architecture or medical he is still deciding and neither of them speak another language other then what they are forced to learn in school, which is a waste of time they could be learning more useful information... Stay in Canada your better off there. After all you took our scardy cats that dodge the wars. Keep them also...

"let us see whether the wine is good!" ??? Okay! As soon as I'm done with my doggies! jh

Gshprdsrul I think you should stop typing. You are ruining your argument of ignorance.

ding ding ding, you, Gshprdsrul have just won the prize for Ugly American Troll of the Year. This is an INTERNATIONAL BOARD, not an american board, so please take your twisted patriotism somewhere else and stop embarrassing yourself.

Good, then why not work on improving your English? "When he was neutered the vet found it in his stomach." (That is a physical impossibility, unless he swallowed it.) "I am waiting until he is two and will have both of them x-rayed at the same time as he is very afraid of the vet and she calms him a bid." (They were playing Bridge or Poker, maybe?) "I guess the question that lingers in my mind is had she found the kryptoric male (from Krypton?)would he have been put down and had she kept the female which she wanted, luckily I had my money down would she have been put down when the prelimbs came back??? Do you see where I am going here?" (Frankly, no. Please learn to spell, punctuate, and avoid run-on sentences.)

I have not a single thing against any country other than those that threaten MY COUNTRY with violence. I have friends of all colors, shapes, sizes, ethnic backgrounds you name it. I love the traditions they have brought to this country. I love to learn how they have grown up. I just don't think that a country that has spoken English forever should change to accommodate those that chose to bring their traditions here and take advantage of the American dream. It is a dream because of the diversity, but in order to properly take part in that dream you need to speak the same language. Yes you can become profitable within little pockets of people that speak the same language, but think how profitable you could be if you spoke the universal language of English. All my friends have learned, they have their accents which are very endearing I love to listen to them talk. The other thing I have found out as I have aged and been around gunfire a lot is that your hearing goes and it is very hard to understand the accents. It has forced me to change good doctors because I just can't understand some of the heavy accents. And thats neither of our faults and I have lost at least one really good doctor because I have to be able to keep track of my back problems. I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend just because I think that everyone should speak English that lives in the US. Your the one that started throwing stones, I do always throw back...And I apologize for what I said...

Si je meurs, je veux qu'on m'enterre Dans une cave où il y a du bon vin. Les deux pieds contre la muraille Et la tête sous le robinet. Sur ma tombe je veux qu'on inscrive: "Ici gît le roi des buveurs". From "Chevaliers de La Table Ronde", a French drinking song that I learned on my last day of French classes in University. Now, I'd better get out of here before 'Le vin' overcomes my usual 'tact et discrétion'! Ein Prosit! [hic!]

SS I second that and every other motion,(although I do think I recognized tequilla!

"And because I was born and raised here and I know only that language to say that I am stupid is an insult." (gspdrdsrul) Okay, first off, that doesn't even make sense, but just to clarify.... NO ONE SAID PEOPLE WHO ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH ARE STUPID. Go ahead, get into an argument about the english language with Sunsilver, but you'll be sorry - she will mop the floor with you.

Said in these forums I don't mess with that because when I transcribe I have set it up so that 99.9% of that is done automatically. Ten years of operating a computer in that mode, you fall back on your usual routine. I am very sorry. I will try and do better. But since I am not being graded and this isn't going into someone's medical record I hardly see the need. But, I will try. The vet found his testicle up in his stomach. Sorry that's what I was told by her or very close to the stomach. Don't know doggie anatomy as to where they can or can't end up. I was relying on what she said. And I forgot the rest of what you picked apart but since I am not an English major and my main career was police work. I spent more time fighting to stay alive then I did on punctuating my reports correctly. Sorry
