The gravitational pull of a black hole is no greater than it was when it was still a star.

i.e., no, our planet is never going to be sucked into a black hole.

I saw the Virgin Mary in my breakfast this morning.

i agree with the senator.

the guy has been in this country longer than i have been alive and i can speak English very well, so he should be able to speak it just as well as i can. none of the "but he had to learn another language" BS, i have friends that have been in the country half the time that guy has and they speak English very well also.

if the guy doesn't know English, it is because he has chosen not to learn it. if he wants to speak at a government hearing then he should do it in a language that everyone in the US can understand: English.

You honestly think you wouldn't learn English if you lived in an English-speaking country for two decades? Without burying your head in the sand?

What idiot uses their real name for a social networking site?

What's worse is thathe was already in trouble for talking crap on MySpace.

I guess a person that speaks sign language shouldn't be allowed to testuify either then since he/she needs someone tranlating into proper english :roll:kuraimen

If that individual could speak English and chose not to? Yeah, I think it'd make him look like a moron.

So by saying it's "insulting" he obviously means that the man should have a gun put to his head and be forced to learn English.:roll:

The senator was angry because the guy has been here for twenty years. It wouldn't have mattered if the guy was speaking swahili or spanish, it's the fact that he showed no effort to learn the U.S's language but then expects us to listen to his advice on laws.

That's what I got out of it. No one was forcing him out or taking away his translator. Someone got irritated and spoke up because this guy showed up to a hearing and deliberately chose to a speak in a language other than English.

It's usually appropriate to ask if a manager is available.

I'd personally ask if they're hiring, not for management. If management is busy (and in a lot of places they will be), they're going to be annoyed when they see you aren't a customer making a complaint.

I'd ask anyone that looks like they work there. They'll either tell you how to apply (online or via a form) or they'll go in the back and ask for you. Call back a few days later and ask whoever answers if your application was looked at.

1. sleep on it
2. dress neat casual, a suit even
3. bring a copy of your resume
4. politely ask if they are hiring
5. if they are, leave your resume with the manager

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Might surprise that this wasn't a court case. But good luck trying to get someone convicted if the jury doesn't understand you.;)SpartanMSU

You shouldn't need a translator if you have been here for over 20 years...

That's why I'm thinking he was trying to be symbolic by speaking in Spanish. There's no way he doesn't know English, especially if he's working for an organization directly involved with politics.
