Of course... I probably should have read Starhawk's post before posting this... Geeze man, learn a little tolerance.
I am very tolerant of other cultures and my statement has nothing to do with tolerance of "culture" it has to do with tolerance of people who can't speak worth a damn trying to take my money away from me

And it also has nothing to do with tolerance of a culture when someone calls me THREE TIMES with an accent so thick I can't understand half the stuff she's spouting.

That would be like ME speaking to a Spanish person in Spanish....I may get the occasional word right but most of them will sound like blather to a Spanish person.

And I was also not criticizing other languages Per Se I can just understand why English is a trade language was apposed to say....uh Spanish French/Any other language with gender based designations of every object and item in their language.


And like I said clearly it pisses me off that in America there are an assload of jobs that would require that I learn to Speak Spanish fluently and with little accent in order to simply be hired. And yet an Indian woman who though probobly very good with Indian can hardly manipulate English is what I'm stuck talking to in order to find out what she wants?

And don't talk to me about tolerance when you don't know how diverse a group I have as friends mmmmmkay?

[edit]And I never said I blamed her or had anything against her in particular I just think whoever hired her is an idiot[/edit]
