Trust me, there are many things that I think people should get over in today's world and I will start with this one; If your boss asks you to speak english while you are on the clock, get over it. If you don't like that, you don't have to work there. I am sure that in this economy, there are plenty of people out there looking for a job that will abide. Plus, your personal example was of friends. That is completely different than a business/professional setting.

It's amazing how important freedom is to some of you, that is YOUR freedom and nobody elses. As far as my example being personal. I am speaking of friends I work with. At the office or after, they speak Russian, Indian, Polish, Ukranian, Chineese and other languages, again so what? As for your example, what are you afraid of? That they are working on your appliance and speaking this mystery language so they can cheat you? Why couldn't they just go to their truck and decide to cheat you there? If you want to know what they are saying in your own house - ask them.

First let me say, that I don't get the impression that you are all that old... So, I am not sure what it is that you actually know about the "old days." Not an insult, just an observation.
What kind of measuring stick are you using to guage how fast people are learning English? What metrics do you have from before as compared to now? I am just one of the many that feels the business owner has rights too and if he/she want's their employees to speak the national language, French, Spanish, etc. that is their right and they should be able to run their business as they see fit. Funny how many rights even illegal immigrants have in this country. What are the rights of Illegal aliens? Please enumerate some of them. I don't think I said a boss could not require an employee to speak english. If it is a requirement of the job - then so be it. However; if it really doesn't make any difference - if their job does not entail speaking to the public then I don't see why people are up-in-arms. Again, I guess it is another difference of opinion. Af for a bosses rights, when does that interfere with an employee's rights? Should a boss be able to require that employees all wear their hair in pony tails? Where does this leave the people who cannot, because their hair is not straight or because they are bald? Does the employee have any rights in the world you want to create? Or is it strictly the boss says -- so hop to it. There is a girl in my area who has been living in the U.S. illegally for about 10 years. She is going to a local college and instead of deporting her, we are allowing here to finish school by paying out of state tuiting fee's. You know how she was caught? Driving without a license and giving a false address to the police. If immigrants think that they don't have any rights in this country, they will not be happy anywhere. Everyone has it pretty damn good and I am tired of people bitching about it. I know of this case, and I have no problem with that girl staying in the US. She did not make the choice to come here, her parents brought her here when she was a child, what can she do about it. Now that she is an adult they want to send her back to Mexico where she may or may not have any friends/family/means of suviging/LANGUAGE SKILLS. Seems kinda cruel to me. If she herself had decided to sneak into the country when she was 19, that's one thing. But she was dragged here when she was 11. Again, I have to note a lack of compassion. I am not afraid of anything and anyone can cheat you. My point is that it did make me feel uncomfortable. If you are in my home and are able to speak english, DO IT. It is the national language after all. If I were in your home and could speak your language, I would do so. If only to make you feel more comfortable. Again, THERE IS NO NATIONAL LANGUAGE in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You may want there to be one, but there is not. If you don't like people speaking other languages in your house, again I say; ask them not to, or ask them to leave, you have that choice. But to get pissed because they are speaking some other language seems pointless.

I disagree with almost everything you wrote, so I guess I will just leave it at that and say goodnight.
