Speak English..Damn it!

 Thank god this guy won.  What is so wrong with telling someone if you want good service in here you should be able to speak English?

The people who don't like this business owner's policy can go eat somewhere else. You see, we live in a capitalist society, this means that so long as you have money you can frequent whatever business you like! The businesses that make money stay open, the ones that don't accomdoate the needs of the public will go belly up. Simple economics, right?

Whatever happened to the immigrants that used to come to this country? It used to be that when a family came from another country they wanted to adapt to American customs, now we're supposed to adapt to them.  Does anyone else see the flaw in that twisted logic?  We have precious little culture here, compared to other countries, then we have to give that up for some other country? BullSh&t I say!

I am not bashing immgrants, they are part of what has made America great, but we have to dry a line somewhere. I do think we need ONE national language that you must learn before you get citizenship along with all the other requirements that go along with it.

Anyone who says that citizens of most other countries speak more than one language are full of it!  Japan's English speaking people tend to be rich businessmen, go to the streets and you'll find most people do not soeak English. It is pretty much the same in every nation you go to. Arabs want us to revere their culture? They wouldn't do the same for us, go Saudi Arabia and tell the Royal Family that they had better respect your culture, they'd throw your carcass in the desert for the wildlife to pick at.

In closing, this is our home and we have every right to demand respect from those who enter it. If these people can't or won't adapt to our home then it's time to send them home. The political correctness crap needs to come to end, I think we can all agree on that.

that's retarded navybrat, I'd boycott the school for doing that!!! I'm all for ESL classes and such BUT they DO learn English in the program, but to have teachers teach in the native language and NEVER for the kids to learn English!!! that's DUMB!! not very smart at all, how are those kids gonna make it when they get out of school???? unless they move back to wherever they speak "their" language!

and rkinne, political correctness shit...GOODBYE for me!!!

i totally agree rkinne. theres a school down the street from me and that has that sign with the school name on it and all the details of upcoming events. one side is in english, the other in spanish. i hate that sign.

I hope this is a start of something bigger. I know a town not far from there has been dealing with the ACLU because they decided to make English their official language (Hazleton, PA). Not sure what happened with that, or if it made it to court yet.

I have been to Genos when I lived in PA, and his Phillys are DEEEEELICIOUS!!!! Now I'm starting to drool and wishing I still lived back east so I could drive my new car to get one...

i agree completely and ...

i agree completely and have another peeve on the subject. why the hell are voters books printed in other languages? i strongly feel that since english is the language of America that you should know it before you are allowed to vote. and while we are on the subject i hate the spanish only bill boards along the highway.

AK that is fuckin bullshit. How bout we fire the fucking scumbags that don't speak English. I swear I'm changing my nationality to Mexican so I can have all this shit handed to ME for being a lazy piece of crap. I envy YOU AK. They don't really make illegal mexicans up there where you are so you probably don't have to suffer through having them around.

Well, Slappy...if we can't get them to speak English, maybe we should all buy this CD and take this course

I saw that before. It's hilarious.

LOL!!

Woooooah slappy ...

Woooooah slappy wooooah.... Pop a xanax!!!

Yes, we have illegal mexicans up here too. I was hoping it would be too cold for them, but they are here. I hate to say it, but they aren't as bad up here as they are in the lower 48, gang and violence wise. Our major gang problems come from the asians and the samoans. Guess the mexicans are too busy trying to stay warm to start any real problems.

I really wish someone would pop some caps in the ACLU lawyers so we could get english as the official language. Although, I have to admit that if it wasn't for the ACLU weed would be illegal up here right now.. not that it matters to me, I quit smoking it.
