Fanny Whiffer! I can't stop laughing!

I went to school with a girl named Penny Economy. And I had an Aunt Dorcas.

I once knew a woman named Dorcas too. Dorcas DevenDorff.

This just makes me laugh among all of these irrelevant posts. Dingus

He was in trouble a lot, and we heard his name over the loud speaker every afternoon on the "report to afterschool detention" call.

This is very funny. Thanks for the laugh.

That one really is bad. It's like a dog's name (I have heard of a few dogs named Whiskey).

Dorcas is a name found in the bible.
Hebrews used to name their children based on how they looked like or based on what the parents wished for their future.

If you knew who the biblical Dorcas was you would be ashamed of making fun of her name.

The point is, moron, that the nanny said she thinks she speaks English better than the other poster speaks Spanish. She is working here. The other poster may never need to speak Spanish.

This is the mentality of a lot of you Americans... that you'll never need to speak another language.
How ridiculous is that?

You may not need to speak another language but knowledge, cultural experience doesn't hurt.

Keep going like this and I'll keep lauging at Amerincans suffering walking around a shopping mall in South America with empty hands because they can't speak the local language.

This is not the mentality of all Americans. I have no hispanic heritage whatsoever and I speak Spanish (greatly aided by inlaws who only spoke limited English). I am happy I know another language.

HOWEVER, you make the point yourself that when you are in a country, you need to speak the local language. It's clear you do. But there are plenty of nannies who do not. They live here, they take care of children, and they do not speak English. Are you laughing a little at them too?

I feel sorry for them because you Americans hire them and you don't tell them that your local church/library has FREE english classes for them.
You don't spend time with them to teach them so DON'T BLAME ON THEM.

I would not employ a non-english speaking employee, some English would be required but tell me why it is my responsibility to spend time with them to teach them English? It is not my place to send them to a church for classes either. That is THEIR responsibilty.

It's our social obligation to stop the stupidity in this world and vanish with ignorance.

If people spoke more languages they would have more oportunities, they would be elegible for better jobs and they would be able to live with a little more dignity.

do you (all of you) know what I mean when I say that poverty and the misery in this world is OUR fault?

You're acting like a dictator of a 3rd world country...
They keep the people ignorant so they can manipulate them.

sure it's interesting for higher class that lower classes keep in ignorance so they don't get informed of their rights and you all can keep taking advatage of them.

well congratulations in your beautiful way to make this wold a better place.

Asking someone to help themselves isn't a way of keeping them down, it is a way to empower them. Is the no longer any personal responsibility?

Please don't try to interject any actual logic or clear thinking into the swirling miasma of un- or ill-formed thoughts that is this poster's mind. It will only lead to further attempts to make some bitter point we will all still be unable to decipher.
