Hey that I am all for. I think it should be mandatory in High School for students to be offered a second language. But,I do not think We should be giving out ESL courses out to adults for free.

OK, tell me how much my taxes have gone up because we don't, as a country, force people to speak English.
Also, it's not about your contractions or colloquialisms. It's terrible grammar, spelling and usage. When you're trying to convince people that everyone should speak English, perhaps you should use English to make that point. You're well known as one of the worst English speakers on the board, you have to understand the joyful irony in your demands that everyone in America speak English. Isn't that ironic? Don't you think?

Dude. You called America a melting pot. That's fair. But it's not a assimilation pot. You can't really have both.

When I was a kid, I used to read Mad Magazine. They did a send up of the Morton Downey Jr. Show once and a cell from that just popped into my head because of this conversation...

It's an American Indian and a goofy looking white dude.

American Indian says "My people have been on this land for hundreds of generations. We have saved the White Man from starvation, taught them to work the land, and this is the thanks we receive?"

White dude says "If Dey Caint learns to speak da langwich they should be sent back to where dey came from!"

The only problem with this is when the kids want to play the music or want you to order the cable packages that have programs for those languages.

Maybe but at least I take a stand for what I believe in and don't waver back and fourth. I understand my Spelling is poor. Why I am taking the classes sir. Just when I get riled up I just rapid fire shit and hit send before I check shit. SO sorry if I offend your delicate North shore effete ascot wearing doily using fuck face. It is people like you who are the cause of the state this country is in. Oh no I don't care. There is noting we can do , that is to mean to make people obey the law. When was the last time your puppy soft ass was any where inside the city limits south of Cermak and west of Canal. You have no idea what fucked up state this city and country is in in your sheltered little life. Oh yeah you do HVAK work so you are a real worker. Biggest thing you probably do in a day is change a compressor. What that weigh 5 pounds? Most of the time you are changing fuses.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Ok. What does that have to do with anything?
.
Knowing you have a problem is the first step.


North Shore? Do you know where I live and what I do for a living?


I'm not sure I follow... are you insinuating that I don't think people should follow the law? I'm pretty sure I'm regularly on the record here as a law and order kind of guy.


Friday afternoon. What does that have to do with anything?


You clearly don't know the line of work. I wouldn't expect you to. Most residential compressors weigh in excess of 70lbs. I work in 120 degree attics, crawlspaces with 6 inches between dirt and floor joists. I work in subzero conditions on rooftops from the city to the suburbs fixing RTU's. I have a job, I pay my bills, I pay my taxes. No one gives me anything that I don't work for. Now, compare that to you who brags about being on the dole. Which of us really lives a sheltered life? You think I don't see the shit side of society? You think I've never worked in Section 8 housing units? Think I've never had to haul a 350 lb digital scroll up a 5 story building with a chain fall or stood on a 50 foot ladder to get on someone's roof to fix a vent or a cap?

I do not live a sheltered life. I see all walks of life, all economic conditions. I've worked for families who didn't speak English but when I got to their door who gives a fuck what they're speaking when their house is 44 degrees and dropping because their furnace doesn't work?

Chas, you're out of your element on this line of attack. Stick to something you know what you're talking about.

You know... to that "all you do is change fuses" thing...
You really are clueless.
I doubt you could handle one day of work in HVAC. You'd be crying about your back or about the heat or the cold within the first few hours. God knows you're not hauling a condenser onto a roof on a condo building. I know for damn sure you're not going to be hauling a 75 gallon water heater into someone's house. I don't think you can possibly do a full day's labor. I'm probably older than you but I'd run circles around you. Plus, it's not all about physical work. You get what I'm saying?

I know. I've been meaning to. I'd love to work in a nice air conditioned call center like chas. At least, that's what I remember him saying he did. I guess that just wasn't in the cards for me.

No wonder there are as many call center horror stories as there are ...

It's mean to make people obey the law? Aren't you kind of famous around these here parts for some illegal activity you partook in? I mean, illegal outside of the bunny ranch that is.

You had holidays off. Nights off. Generally weekends off. You never were on call. You didn't have to get out on 30+hour shifts during heat waves or cold snaps. Not a bad gig.

Garbage? What Holidays,if we get a day off they then make us work 10 hour shifts the rest of the week at normal pay. If it snows we are on 12 hour shifts. Either shoveling salt or snow downtown or in the Ward you are in. I worked Weekends cuse of seniority.

trust me as shitty as the work was physically was I would rather be doing that then what I am doing now. You know when you call a company and they tell you you might be recorded for training purposes? That is my job , I am the asshole who sits there and grades the person you are talking to, determining if the get a raise or their bonus or even their job. I hate it. I hate being the fucking bad guy.

I can honestly say that I would never want you to be the person grading me.

Honestly, I get in trouble for being too in favor of the employee most times. I keep getting told to be stricter and harsher.
