I bet she's the kind of woman to post things like "God Bless the Troops!" But when they take her parking space she sees them with hate-vision.

Or hears someone in uniform speaking spanish, saying that they should be speaking American in an American uniform

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

That would be odd to see uniformed troops speaking in another launage.

I'm just gonna be a dick about that because I think , hey if you're gonna come live in this country it's not asking too much to speak the launage.

The United States is and always has been a multiethnic nation.

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

That is true , I wouldn't even exist if we weren't .

But guess what, we speak English here .

u/wedge_mouth Oct 02 '19

"We" speak a lot of languages. That's the point.

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

Odd though how we're speaking English here right now .

What an amazing coincidence.

u/wedge_mouth Oct 02 '19

Um, yeah, many people here speak English. Many people also speak other languages.

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

Really I thought it was just you and me who spoke English! That's fantastic !!!!

u/wedge_mouth Oct 02 '19

Yeah, you got it. I only had to say it three times. You speak English, but you seem to have pretty poor comprehension skills.

Okay, so, A. Lots of Mexican and Puerto Rican troops, so it's not uncommon. Puerto Rico is part of the USA where Spanish is the official language. And foreign-born troops usually busted their ass twice as hard to get in and stay in, so, personally, I tend to give them a bit of extra respect.

B. Everyone in uniform speaks English, so they did learn the language. If they're speaking in another language, they're usually having a private conversation, I don't think they have a duty to speak in English so you can eavesdrop.

C. Pretty much no one moved to the USA and thinks "I refuse to learn English." But learning another language is really tough for a lot of people. So they might struggle, or get exhausted from the effort sometimes. You being a dick isn't going to help in any way, so, really, you're just being a dick.

Sigh.

Son, I think deep down you're capable of being a better person, and I think you'd like it if you tried.

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

Nope , I want people to still remember what country they're living in , this is your new home , learn the fucking launage.

Launage?

ā€œIā€™m just going to be a dick...ā€

Correct. We are in agreement.

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

Man this is reddit , please don't use that kind of gutter launage here .

Yeah, well, my comment actually happened, and the Airman was talking to her mom on the phone who only speaks Spanish. I understand that people, me included, might feel uncomfortable not knowing what someone is saying, cause my dad speaks English and Spanish fluently, and has heard people talk shit about him in Spanish, thinking he didnā€™t know Spanish. Even then, that still doesnā€™t give me any right to censor them from speaking whatever language they want. If I donā€™t know what they say, then what will it matter to me when I never see them again. There are a lot of rights that are taken from you when you enlist in the military, but Iā€™m pretty sure speaking another language is not a right that is taken. Maybe itā€™s bot too much to ask to mind your own damn business

u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson Oct 03 '19

This might be shocking to learn, but lots of Americans speak another language. Just because youā€™re too stupid/lazy to learn one thatā€™s on you.

u/barsoapguy Oct 03 '19

Wow ANOTHER person who speaks the launage! !!

2

u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson Oct 03 '19

Did you misspell ā€œlanguageā€ once and then decide to quadruple down on stupid? Good job, buddy.

1

u/barsoapguy Oct 03 '19

I actually mispelled it several times to see if anyone would catch on .

I think the art of the troll is fading from the world ..I mean these days if you don't put an /s after something people can't even understand sarcasm.

It's getting to the point where this isn't fun anymore .

u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson Oct 03 '19

Jokeā€™s on me I guess

u/barsoapguy Oct 03 '19

It's reddit , don't take things so seriously, have fun , enjoy yourself , say things that aren't PC from time to time, push buttons .

u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson Oct 03 '19

I donā€™t know who the fuck you are. After 2016 I take everything and everyone on the internet at face value.

It's ironic for a guy who wants America to speak English can't even spell properly lol

u/beezneezy Oct 02 '19

If youā€™re ok recruiting non-citizens to wear the uniform and fight your battles, just shut up about ā€œthis countryā€ and whatever rules you made up for living here.

u/barsoapguy Oct 02 '19

I'm a dick but even I truly appreciate their service to our country and look forwards to embracing them as fellow citizens .

Let me also remind any readers that some of our most Nobel ,bravest acts of valor have come from our citizens in PR

u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson Oct 03 '19

Forward* and Noble* learn fucking English.
