capitualting pieces of crap with a speaker of a
foreign language - Mandarin, Sawhili, Tagalog, etc. or
somthing more exotic…As These spineless pieces of
%^&*$!@#$ question Joey, he should whisper back his
response to the bi-lingual speaker, who then tells it
to the commission in that foreign language!!! Let them
figure it out - and DISCRIMINATE AGAINST HIM BY

We speak english in America. People in asian countries are learning english, and are taught it in schools because its the way to succeed in the business world, even for them!

Bottom line: You come to America , you learn English. Simple enough?

Man- I wanna know when our country became so jacked up???? We are letting these foreigners run our land? What the heck is wrong with us? I GIVE Joey a BIG pat on the back for taking a stand when noone else will. Joey, Keep up the hard work and if you need a buck or two to pay those idiots their fines, let me know.

I don’t think that anyone should be able to tell him to take down the sign. He is the one that will bear the brunt of his choice if/when people choose to stay away. I am sure that he realizes the risks, as a businessman. Therefore, let him do as he pleases.

#1, if local experience is any indication, he’s going to have to continue demonstrating that he has a pair — see the local vandalism upate at this post if you haven’t already.

I applaud Vento for standing up and speaking what’s on my mind as well. In his words from the Glenn Beck show, ‘If you don’t know English, how are you going to order? You can’t read the menu!’
