English as the fourth language?

Funny story I called to sign up for traffic school today and got prompted by a recording first. It said to speak to someone in Korean press 4, Spanish 3, Japanese 2, and finally English press 1. Where the hell do I live that English is the last choice? It also sounded as my call was routed to India so I could speak English with Indian who spoke English as a second language.

Hello and welcome to American now speak English please!

ooooh, no you didn't. You must be a rasist homophobe.

Now prepare to feel the wrath of every leftist moonbat on the board.

Jeez Bryan. Maybe if you put half of the energy you put into trashing Lefties, someday, you might get laid out there in Nebraska.

I presume the recording instructing what number to push was in English?

Of course they were. You would just think English would be the first choice.

I am not a rasist homophobe, I am a 400 pound black lesbian.

Not long ago I stopped in at the DMV on Rosemead in Pasadena (my old neck of the woods), I was looking for a manual for the driver's test for a friend who needed to study for it. I could not find an English version! I found about six different languages except English. After asking two employees, I found a small pile off to the side on a shelf. sheesh

If only you were Jewish and in a wheelchair, the world would be your oyster.

Complaining about people not speaking english.....

Lame.

People complained when those dirty Irish and Germans and Slovaks, etc.........its America.

100 years ago people were griping about the same thing.

Far more important is the issue of porn. Without a stead stream of asian immigrants, there with be a dire shortage of asian porn actresses. AND I FOR ONE WON' T STAND FOR IT!!!!!!!!!
