Wouldn't it be pretty amazing, if this caught on, all over the country...?

"Press "1" if you speak English." "Press '2' to disconnect until you can.
If you agree......keep it going

yes i know this is America. but other countries make a point to learn our language. and if you think all of us are foreigners in some way! trace the family tree!

this upsets me because we take pride in being the melting pot of the world, that we dont discriminate over race.. and poeple get angry in school over racism and such.. in a way, this is racism.. jokes like this make America look like a bunch of pigs!

I think it is a ggreat point.
This is the United States.
Our first language is English.
If you come to this country...learn English.
We should listen to the President of Austrailia.
He told everyone that before you come to my country here is what you need to know.
We believe in GOD. We speak English and if you don't like don't come here. PLAIN AND SIMPLE

I got this email also and I sent it to other people. I agree with it and yet I do take people into consideration but Hey this is America. Speak English. If I went to other countries I would have to learn their language. So why can't they learn English. It's not about offending someone it's about America. We have to start taking care of our own.

Unfortunatly I have to agree with you, it is offensive, BUT it is also a true statement. If we Americans went to Mexico, or France, or Middle east or any foreign country, do you think they would learn to speak english just for us, so it would be easier for us. NO they would not, we would have to learn there language to communicate. The same should also be for the USA

I find that email more sad than offensive cause we're supposta be a country that loves all nations, races, and ethnic backgrounds.
An email like that is supposta be funny and it's not. Not to me. That friend shoulda scrapped that email the instant it was sent to her and not sent it out via chain mail in the first place.

of course it's offensive. It's true but just because someone cant speak english doesnt mean they shouldnt be able to live in the US. Like for example, if you go to Mexico, yes it'd be a little more convenient to be able to speak Spanish, but you dont have to. That's stupid and ignorant.

I think it is kinda funny, but then, I speak English. It may be offensive so some, so I probably wouldn't send it to my friends who I know wouldn't like it.

I think he has a good point, if you are in the US (an english speaking country), learn to speak english.

Whoever came up with it is an ignorant, prejudice person-a waste of time. In my opinion that is.
