Re: Press 1 for English

For several years now, absolutely every time I call a number that requires me to press one for english, I ask for a manager and complain about it. You ought to hear some of the lamed brain (as in educated by liberals) excuses I get. One recent one was that 'this is, after all, a bi-lingual country'. That just made my blood boil.

At any rate, IMHO, one success was Verizon Wireless. For the last year, you now hear a quick blurb in spanish telling the hispanics to press a number to speak their language, then they continue on in english without you ever having to push a button.

If everyone would do this, it would soon change.

It's a good thing that the party and philosphy of CJY, Blu Lunch, rolmops and PW were not around when all the other waves of immigrants hit these shores. Why hell, we wouldn't know what language to speak now. We'd be like the Biblical Babel of old.

Oh, btw, great vid.

Re: Press 1 for English

Glad to hear you get a manager that speaks English. Good for Verizon, Cabela's, Beretta USA, and all the other businesses that speak English clearly.

English worked just fine from the Walter Raleigh/John Smith days all the way up until recent times when the socialist inspired libs started berating the American way.
How can you have a job interview without English? How do you pass exams without English?
A requirement for a pilot's license is speaking English.
If terrorists that plan only to hang around for a short period of time can learn English, then people that want to live, work, and become permanent residents should show their sincerity about becoming an American and adapt to our culture and language. If they prefer their old cultures and languages why did they come here? For a better way of life they have to learn our ways.

Re: Press 1 for English

no but we certainly need a few! I complain every time about press1 for,,, I dont even wont to here the little blurb in any language! I beleave that if you want to live here, learn the ways of the land. Now dont take me wrong I have many freinds from other lands and I welcome them to this fine land, BUT they have taken the time to learn our language! I also beleave this should be LAW! even though I think we have to many laws now. If we don't take a stand on this we will have to learn there language be cause they are taking us over from within!!!!! This is not a right or left issue this is a right AND left issue act now or learn spanish so you can go order a McD's (what do they call there,,,food(can you call it that?))

Yep, it's us liberals doing this. I went down to my local Walmart and held a gun to the manager's head until he put up signs in Spanish. Then I went home and worshipped the Devil for awhile until the babies in the microwave were done.

Businesses don't do this because of "liberals." They do this because they have a customer base who speaks Spanish. The businesses assume that the Spanish-speakers spend more money than the folks who complain or hang up. Maybe in the long run, people who complain or hang up will win out, but don't hold your breath.

As for customer service, I find that every time I order parts from someone East of the Rockies, I have a hell of a time understanding anything they say. I had to order some parts from Louisiana. Did I hang up when I found out the guy on the phone had an accent? Nope. He had the best prices. Prices generally beat out principles. That's why folks shop at Walmart. That's why Walmart coddles Spanish-speakers. That's why you can't blame liberals for every little boo-boo you get on your little sense of what's right for this country. Commerce is good for this country. Multi-lingualism builds commerce. Businesses will continue to support bilingualism as long as it helps them make money.

Re: Press 1 for English

What kind of accents do people east of the Rockies have? I've noticed that everybody outside of NY has an accent.

Re: Press 1 for English

Multi-lingualism builds commerce.

Absolute Bullchit! You were correct in your opening statement. It's the Liberal feel good, any thing goes, let's be kind and diverse attitude that got this problem where it is today. Commerce will be well served when all of the people conducting it speak the language of the land. For those who choose not to, should plain and simple look for somewhere else to live. When they choose to retain their langauge and demand that we comply, they do not make good Americans.

This is America, it is not a North American Union. We have qualities and character that have set us apart from the rest of the world since our inception. It is you Libs that would dilute those qualities and send us into mediocraty.

All cultures that have made up this county have contributed to it. They simply did not have the capacity to bleed the treasury dry and demand that certain portions of this country revert to the ownership of the land that cannot support them. Wake up, we either lock down the borders or we cease to be a nation.
