Vent

I'm not trying to start any kind of debate or offend anyone or anything I just thought this would be a safe place to vent about this.  I get so tired of people sending me email forwards about how you either love America or hate America.  Just because I don't get offended by someone else wearing or having a flag from another country or don't have a problem with people with a religion different from my own doesn't mean I don't love America.  Ugh. 

Okay, vent over.

  • Werd! My mom sends me similar swill all the time, haha. But she also takes Alex Jones seriously, so...
  • I agree. Along similar lines, God forbid you don't give a hot damn whether or not you have to press one for English. I swear, if a certain member of H's family  doesn't stop inviting me to that damn group I am going to blow a freaking gasket.

  • I agree.  I also hate all the "repost this status if you believe in God" or just "repost this status if you __________"  on facebook.

    Thank you.  I teach ESL students math, and given they want to learn English, but so many people tell me, "they're in America they should already know English."  First, give them a chance to LEARN English.  I have students that have only lived here for 2 days.  How can you know it in two days? 

    Also, my students in Laredo will never need to know English unless they leave Laredo.  I really have no problem.  I was under the impression America had no official language.

  • Agreed. With all of it.

  • I agree. That crap is borderline McCarthyism IMO.

  • I agree and love that America is a melting pot of cultures.  My MIL drives me nuts with those type of statuses/group requests on Facebook. 

    That being said, I was very annoyed today when I called the local Workforce Solutions office to get help with my job search and the woman on the phone could barely speak/understand English. I finally just made an in-person appointment because we were getting nowhere on the phone.
