Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following -Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?" Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English." Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?" Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."
This is why my husband and I like to speak Spanish/German sometime when out in public, just to watch the idiots heads explode.

Aren't you cute. Pot stirrers. You're no better than anyone who does the same on the right. And if I happened to overhear you talking smack I would respond with equal amounts of smack, in either language. Don't assume anything about people you don't know.
A new survey finds white Republicans are far more likely to be put off by foreign language speakers than their Democratic counterparts.
Really? They actually created a survey for this? Its obviously biased and made specifically made to make "white Republicans" look bad, that is if it is even accurate.
I’ve never understood why someone else’s conversation bothers a third party. It’s none of your concern what language someone else is speaking. Mind your business.

I'm not surprised at all. I'm a northern democrat and it annoys me to hear a southern republican speak English.
Why, since it's still English? There aren't southern Democrats that do the same thing? There's a whole lot of difference between speaking English with an accent (of which doesn't bother me at all) and not speaking English at all.
Lefties like going places and hearing the languages (exotic and cool), as long as they can go back to their NIMBY English speaking gated communities at the end of the day.
The language that is most bothersome is the democrats language.
They constantly change the meaning of words to stifle and disrupt traditional communication through the English language. It becomes more like Pig-Latin without the rules. Some say its just jibber-jabber but imagine being sick and in the hospital and that's all one hears. That would be bothersome at the least.

I, too, find it hard to believe.
I've only heard of people getting upset about even automated calls on the internet. On this forum, in fact. Hmmm
...the survey says almost half of the democrats are at least bothered by it some too
