Go Randy Terrill. Of course driving tests should be in English. This is the United States and the language is English. Its not Mexico. Although it appears there are more mexicans in the US than in mexico. Nothing maddens me more than calling a bank, city, state or federal office and hearing the option english or spanish. There should be no option!!!!!!!!!!!

Will be first to Apologise!

I moved to N.E. Tulsa. The move has been less than satisfying, but I got a house with Land for $400 a month. In NY I couldn't touch a property like this for less than $950.

I have a Mexican Family watch me for two hours across the street with my Samurai Sword and weed whacker. Since I have FM/CFS/COPD/PTSD Advanced Diabetes, I am sure I was fun to watch.

Now I hate to be racist here, but he brought over all kinds of lawn care equipment! Let me tell you, Mexicans know how to do lawns to!
What was going to take me about 3 days, we did in less than 4 hours. He refused money, just wanted to "Get er done". My Front lawn looks real good now, Thanks Mexico!

I think that anybody that comes to the United States should learn our Language first. It is not just the Hispanic's, but all Forieners.

Foreign Funnies

Since no one is posting.............

In Erie PA, after finding a bus where THE TIRES WOULDN'T FREAKING FALL OFF on greyhound, We moseyed on into Buffalo NY. Here you could catch a bus into Toronto, Quebec (My bus), NYC and points NE and SE.
I noticed on my bus we have a driver that was successfully slaughtering two languages, English and Spanish. Since he was going into Quebec, shouldn't he be speaking English and French?

On the way home we made a stop and a 45 minute layover in Pittsburgh. On this particular stop, we picked up a family of REAL Africans. What was really cool, and I never thought I would see this, they are from a part of Africa that speaks in clicks. Now don't get me wrong, they spoke English to, and a lot better than 90% of the population. But when they talked to each other, it was "Clicking". It was really cool watching them carry on a conversation. It got real funny when they started to argue as it sounded like a bunch of kids playing with bubble wrap.

Do you think all city employees should be required to take a Spanish course?
