My question is why would we force a private business to do the job of public schools? As a taxpayer, I'm already paying for this to be taught in school. Why do I have to pay a second time, this time through losses at my business. Can't they do this better in a more individualized setting? Of course they can.

You mean the ones who supported NIXON'S "Southern Strategy," right, Biff? This whole debate reminds of me of an item I posted on another forum here some months back about a local rightwing bloviator who brokers his own Saturday-morning show, selling spot time to his cronies and using it to plug oldies concerts, etc. which he promotes as his day job.
After a ten-minute tirade against Hispanics (of whom there are very few living in this area) and other non-English speakers, ending with the usual shut-the-hell-up-and-go-back-where-you-came-from, he realized his time was up and had to toss the ball to the next show..."Stay tuned for Pat's Polka Party!" Three hours of music in Polish and German. That's the great thing about cons like you and Avid and Fred. No sense of irony, no sense of humor. Zip. Zilch. Nada. (Oops, sorry! That's Spanish! OMG!!)

There is a world of difference between remembering aspects of one's ancestral cultural heritage while embracing American language and culture and insisting on remaining mired in a perpetual ghetto. On Christmas Eve at our church, we sing Silent Night in German. On New Years Day, the family always eats the traditional dinner of roast pork and sauerkraut. The music of Wagner is heard often at my house. My late mother-in-law never missed the Polka shows on the radio, and all of the Polish traditions were observed at family weddings. But that's hardly the same as refusing to even make an attempt to assimilate and learn English.
Frankly, your damn "all or nothing" ........ is wearing really, really thin. There's a huge difference between retaining memories of one's ancestral homeland's culture and demanding that all the rest of the United States must change the way it does things so that a bunch of immigrants (often illegal aliens!) can recreate neighborhoods within the United States that are more like foreign countries than parts of the US. That's a huge range. Those of us who want to see the line drawn more reasonably toward the side of assimilation are not as you make us out to be.
If I were a real liberal, I would find your damn act to be as embarrassing to the liberal cause as Rush Limbaugh is to the conservative cause. Whenever we conservatives want a buffoonish caricature of a liberal to point to, ........ like you are the perfect target.

You should check out the Buffalo and Western New York forum. There's a thread called, "The Stiffs Just Keep on Coming" and it's been running for eons with several thousand posts.

Awe, shucks. Let the good ol' boy swear. It reveals to the reader, the true depth of Avid's intellect. I cry censorship.

Come on Dan, admit it. Since he questioned your qualifications to operate radio station, you just don't like Avid Listener.

No, I mean Albert Gore, Sr., Bull Connor, Robert Byrd, J. William Fulbright and LBJ. By the way, the Southern Strategy is a myth. Just like your idiotic assertion that our friend Fred is a conservative. He's just as liberal as you, and probably only a shade more racist.

I'm tired of reading your idiotic comments, but you don't see me bitching about them.

For the record, I do not use any words not permitted on basic cable networks.
Just a couple reminders...
QUOTE: FredLeonard
The FCC should ban all foreign language broadcasting. All government offices and all businesses in interstate commerce should be required to operate only in English. English should be mandated as the official language of the USA. And only people who can speak, read and write English should be allowed to immigrate (and stay).
That's the other thing you conservabots are great at. Deny, deny, backpedal, backpedal. Who, ME? I never said that even when I did. Why, the very idea! HARRUMPFHH!!

You conservaclowns just keep throwing that mud while you dig yourselves into a deeper and deeper hole; and most of it still sticks to your own hands.

The FCC doesn't regulate language on basic cable. They can say whatever they want.
If you are a character in a drama... let's say "Sons of Anarchy" your dialog may include foul, offensive language. It is part of the portrayal of a drama.
This is not a scripted drama. It's a discussion group. And discussion has different rules than a drug dealing biker on SOA does.
This forum is private property. The owners can set the rules however they want.
But beyond that, in social discourse, swearing and cussing are an almost perfectly conclusive sign that a person has lost the argument and is screaming and kicking like a spoiled brat.

Amazing! You can actually quote my exact words, and you still get it ******* wrong! You are a ********* ******** piece of ****. (I leave the missing words to everyones' imagination. No doubt, what most folks image will be far filthier than what I actually would have written.)

And way to take all of the fun out of the discussion. You really are a miserable human being.
You can dish it out, but you sure can't take it. And Avid's remark that I quoted his words exactly and still got it wrong is a new classic. Spin, spin, spin.
I read your NYT article too, it conveniently overlooks the fact that almost every one of the old Dixiecrats turned Republican. They just switched their loyalties from a party that no longer wanted them to one that was drooling over them; as far as their constituents were concerned, they were still voting to re-elect Congressman Cornpone. Political "business-as-usual"...

Want to continue being proven wrong, or would you rather just go along with the joke and admit that Fred isn't some bastion of conservatism?
