Press One For English

Come on:

Quoting this draft-dodging asshole doesn't help your case at ALL.

Sorry Danny, but to a hell of a lot of us, this man is just a total putz.

Everyone here knows he's an actor, right? Meaning that everything he says and does is make-believe? Correct? Like, it's not real, and it doesn't mean anything, and just because he said it on camera, that doesn't make it true/

Especially since he avoided military service during WWII.

Which was NOT make-believe.

The guy makes me want to VOMIT!

GOOD ANSWER!

Mine? Or another answer here defending this scumbag of a so-called American patriot?

Uh oh. Dissin' John Wayne. Don't ya know your only supposed to diss' the liberal actors, like Sean Penn.

That was a joke, BTW, so nobody reach for your guns.

I find this whole topic amusing. With all the problems we face in America, how does "press one for English" even show up on the radar screen.

On the other side of the coin, I get a chuckle out of the folks who give a s--t whether or not "under God" is in the pledge of allegance. Like Lewis Black says, "if it bothers you, just say 'under dog' instead -- it sounds the same and has the same number of sylables, so you'll finish with everyone else."

Same with prayers at sporting events. If religious people really want to pray for a football game, fine. I just stand quietly and wait for them to finish praying that nobody gets hurt playing a game where hitting each other as hard as you can is central to the game, and then I watch the game.

I could list all kinds of ways people get bent out of shape over things that pale in comparison to all the people dying today in wars, and the hundreds of thousands of children that will DIE this year in Africa due to common diarreah simply because they don't have clean water to drink, or the very real challeges that we face with global warming, and a dozen other life-and-death issues that we ignore while we fight over "press one for English" and other trivial peeves.

Yeah, that's what we need, more violent tempers and acts of vandalism.

CD, you may have noticed I called him a criminal, but he showed some restraint and just destroyed the self service piece of crap that HD uses. If he had gone to a cashier, I'll bet that this wouldn't have happened. The cashier would have fixed the problem relatively quickly but if you ever used one of those self service pieces of crap (repetitive I know) then if you screw up you can be there forever waiting on someone to fix it. The current lack of service in HD makes me go 3 miles further to get to Lowes if I have to go to a box store. ( I have two hardware stores that I perfer, even though they are out of my way, to use if at all possible BECAUSE of their level of service) I don't condon his actions but I certainly understand them.
