Ok...i read all the time that i should 'get involved'...post on the 'forums'..etc, etc..My problem with that is there is NEVER anything on here WORTH posting TO! Like this post...i dont get it..what am i supposed to 'correct' ? Its just bs and i thought it was actually going to be something worthwile & 'NECESSARY' to talk about..all this is is somebody writing stupid things about the US & OTHER COUNTRIES..OK, so its under the 'heading' as 'jokes & humor' but whats so funny about repeating stupid, you may as well say, 'polish' jokes or 'blond' jokes..Why not talk about the REAL issues between the US & other countries coming here & taking all our jobs...or the fact that 'immigrants' such as the Italians, Germans, Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Irish, etc, have been coming here to the US for GENERATIONS & GENERATIONS & at NO POINT did WE, as Americans, have to "PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH" when making a call, paying a bill, calling the bank.. WHY should I have to take an EXTRA STEP when i'm making a call, in MY country, to hear my 'options' in the LANGUAGE I Speak? If you want to 'correct' something, CORRECT THAT!! Thank You.

That's what people had to say about their experiences. You can't stop them from formulating their opinion about what they see or feel can you?
The USA is a melting pot, immigrants built this country thank you. Don't get me wrong, sometimes i do wish half of them would leave but hey they probably think the same about me. Our ancestors (with the exception of Native Americans) came from another country, not this one. If you don't like it, LEAVE IT!!!!!

THANK YOU! Finally, SOMEBODY ELSE has 'spoken out' about this! I read a quote yesterday that said 'if you must burn our flag, please WRAP YOURSELF UP IN IT FIRST'! ALL my ancestors are from other countries, and when they got here, they were made to STRUGGLE to learn the USA's ways, language, culture or be 'ostricized' ! Nobody 'forced' the US to learn THEIR language or not have a job. No, they worked their butts off to EARN the 'priveledge' of becoming an American. Now, if you apply for over 80% of jobs here, if you dont speak XXXXXXX as a '2nd language' you're NOT getting the job! AND we have become nothing MORE than a 'joke' to most other countries BECAUSE of it! I, PERSONALLY (and my relatives who WERE 'ostricised' and 'labeled' and struggled to become Americans) dont see ANY 'humor' in it.
