After the entire conveyor belt was full, the clerk said to the shoppers, "You can bring all of those groceries up here. This is an express lane."

You made the story up. I have never seen a clerk tell anyone with 6 trillion items in a x items or less lane they have to many items for the lane. LIAR LIAR!😉
 
Rant on


I HATE THE FVCKERS WHO BUY 10+ items on EXPRESS LANE!! :|

I HATE THE FVCKERS THAT DRIVE ON SIDE AND CUT IN FRONT IN TRAFFIC!! :|

FVCKERS!!

Rant off.

I say, anyone that can't converse in english after a year in the US should be catapulted back where they came from

edit: I try to get angry but then I realize they're just dooming themselves to poverty and mediocrity since they refuse to integrate into the rest of american society. but then again someone has to make our burgers.

:thumbsup:

I suggest you guys go live in a country that doesn't speak English and we'll see who's calling on the catapult. What makes you guys think that someone can pick up a language in just one year? Not everyone immigrating to the US is young enough to pick up a language quickly and not everyone has the time to take language classes when they're busy working to feed their family. I know plenty of people who've lived in the States for over 10 years and they STILL aren't fluent in English. As much as I hate seeing the US turning into Mexico, you guys have the wrong attitude towards those who can't speak English.

^^


The point is they shouldn't live in our country if they can't speak our language. If you've been living here for 10 years and can't speak English, that is just being a nuisance. You just aren't trying. I personally think there should be a 20ft wall at the border with electric barbed wire on top. The gaps should be heavily guarded and permission to use lethal force should be given. To pass into the country (unless on business) you should be given an English comprehension test. In conclusion, when you decide to come to America, learn the American language (English, not spanish).

I wouldn't expect for people in Germany or France or Japan to bow down and concede to my "native language" if I decided to move there and function in society.

I wouldn't dare go to visit a foreign country where English is not the dominate laungauge without:

A) Trying to learn some basic greetings/expressions/requests in the native tongue before going or
B) Going with someone that knows the fvcking language

And if I were planning on living there for the rest of my life, by fvcking God I'd take the time to learn the language my damn self:|

It took me more than a year to learn English. Nobody taught me.

It took you more than a year, but I bet that by the year mark you could function somewhat in society speaking English (even if it were just Engrish).

I think he's talking about people who sit around here for a year or more and don't even bother trying to learn the language.
 
I'm in Chile right now. I don't know Spanish. I understand where those people are coming from now. It is embarrasing not knowing the language when you need to buy groceries, take cabs, etc.
 
"I was in Miami for two weeks. Two. And the last day I was there they stole my rental car - 'cause I guess they didn't have enough time to load a gun and shoot me. On the street was a Lexus and a BMW and in between was my car... the rental car... the Plymouth Horizon.

Here's a math problem for you, don't ponder it too long, but how many drugs would you have to consume over what period of time to be standing on the street going, "I gotta have the Horizon!" Are you kidding me? I've never driven a car that's aqua.

I called the police. I said, "They've stolen my rental car - the Plymouth Horizon."

The policeman said, "I guess they took it for a joyride."

I said, "You know, I don't think you're listening, a$$hole. The car is a Plymouth Horizon. It is not a joy to ride!"

This is a car that goes forty-five miles an hour with the wind. If you actually turn off the airconditioning you can super-charge the little fvcker to forty-eight. I got a nose bleed I was having so much fun in the car. I didn't want the piece of sh!t so I was staggered to find someone had took it.

They sent a policeman to investigate the case. He'd been in the United States for... six minutes. It could not have been much longer than that because he did not have a grip on our language. Verbs! Verbs elluded him. He said, and I'm quoting because I don't have the time or the energy to make sh!t up anymore.

He said, "How you money make?"

All I could think is there is not enough deodourant for this conversation.

We could be here forever. It never crossed my mind I'd meet a cop in my own country that didn't speak my language. I believe that should be a law somewhere. Why? Because the man is carrying A GUN! There should be rules like: Verbs! And when you could put the right verb together with the right noun and actually ask the proper question... then, we'll give you bullets.
