I wonder how many of you think it is annoying to deal with people who become citizen or stay in this country as a permanent resident. ,but refused to learn speaking in English? I came to know SOME Chinese ( whom I have to deal with) live in this country for 15 years still don't speak English at all.
I got pi$$ed with this telemarketer who keep calling the restaurant where I work, trying to advertise something but doesn't speak English at all. And insisted to speak to a person who speaks chinese.WHY?

I do speak a little chinese but I think if you stay in this country, you should use English . Not Chinese. You cannot expect everyone speak the language. If you want to advertise something especially when you're living and working in the states please be able to speak in English.

The very nature of Q&A seems to breed a lot of generalizations about religion, races, cultures and lifestyles. Most of us will never really know anyone personally that we are exchanging ideas with, so why do some even bother with rude, uninformative or just plain ignorant remarks? I am trying to be a good girl and just answer questions that I feel I have a positive contribution to make, but sometimes a question is just too stupid to take a pass. Then I can be a very bad girl, and I don't like that about myself.

They are incredibly rude, refuse to integrate when they come to Spain, snobbish, intolerant, and have a superiority problem. although they are quite unattractive themselves

I was talking to an American backpacker about gun control and he called me a "liberal" like it was a bad thing or something. Can someone fill me in on this point of American culture?

i am still young 20 years old but it seems that, when i was younger i had thses goal but i did not see how much the challanges would cost me and how much i would have to scrafice for my goals that i had to fine tune my goals, it seems as if the more i get older the more things that are in the way of doing what i want to do, i am not saying this is a bad thing but its something i have noticed.
and i also get realistic about friends to instead of saying friends forever i now say lets take it one day at a time, i am more hesitant to say that i love u now and will only say it if i mean it, do u think the older u get the less optimistic u get and the less realistic u get about your goal and who u are as a person

I was dragged to a family dinner the other day, and listened to a conversation my sister's friends were having:

They wanted to take bellydancing classes. They went to a gym where they heard they gave very good classes. But they said once they saw the instructor they decided not to take classes because the instructor was a man, and a man could not teach bellydancing.

I think this sexism because no one ever says a woman doctor can't give a man a physical because she's a woman.

That's not right!!!

There are a plethora of very very fat individuals that waste space and especially food when they really don't contribute to the overall appearence of what should be one of the more attractive nations.
Why is this? IS it because America has become accepting of mediocrity, I think it is. does anyone else have an opinion?

A ham was left on my doorstep and I don't know from who, it was there in the morning when I woke up. It had to be there for awhile because it was warm. I asked some friends and they said they didn't put it there. They say that means something bad.
