America

I dont mean this to sound worse than it is. I love this country and I think all my friends know that. I think it's great to have a melting pot of cultures and peoples all together under one country. What I dont like is when I have people that come to my work that don't speak the language or even try. I have customers that come in here and don't speak any english at all. Does any one know how hard it is to rent a machine using hand gestures and pictures. I know people will say well they dont know our language. They live here why dont they learn it? When I go on vacation I try to speak in thier language it's just easier for them and me too. If I lived there I sure as hell would know how to speak thier language or at least have a book so I can butcher or at least attempt to try to make it so that they can understand me. Ask my wife, we went on a cruise and I really tried to speak spanish the best I know how to the people we interacted with becasue it was easier that way. Not only was it fun to be able to communicate with the locals but it was also neat to be able to try and learn thier dialects and differences that I didn't know before. Ok any way that was a soap box.
