John Rocker is leading a "Speak English" campaign and recently appeared on FOX NEWS. John is the former pitcher for the Atlanta Braves who caused quite a stir. Ok, great but what does this have to do with anything? He appeared on the show with Alicia Marie, who is a current NPC figure competitor and Former Miss Bikini America. It wasn't clear why she is part of the campaign, perhaps Alicia can chime in and fill us in...

I agree, being a European Immigrant myself, if you don't speak 'some sort' of english and you're residing in North America or America that's a problem... if you move to a country where the language is english then it's your civic duty to LEARN THAT LANGUAGE. I don't get the big deal, I came here when I was 9, took me 2 1/2 months to learn fluent english with no accent, why can't other people ?!

kudos to you, to answer your question, because they are egotistical or lazy and our moral majority law makers enable them.

We have the same problem in Australia.
The Lazy bastards >:(

Agreed - it is great to speak a number of languages, but if you reside in a country where the main language is English, then learn to speak English. If I lived in France, I would learn French, and so on...

My favorite event is calling tech support and getting some guy in India who's name is "Jim", but sounds like Ahmed Kabal. You can't understand a word and you're irritated at the computer problem at hand.
Outsourcing rocks!

Croatch, would you rather train with a guy who used steroids for the rest of your life, or marry a girl with fake titties?

Haha so true their supervisors and training instructors ask them to change their name while working.
So a'fo'f'vna'v is really Jill and be'f'v'e'bv borat is Bob
Makes us feel more safe, haha

How can you lie like that, unless you are some gifted child, there is NO WAY you can learn a language that fast, its impossible and you know you are lying.

I had the exact same guy(s), Croatch. Tried 3-4 times - no dice. Ended up just removing program and installing a new one because they were so incomprehensible. >:(

OLD News.
This show aired about 2 months ago on the O'Reilly Factor and was a re-run last night.
Alicia Marie is dating Rocker, thats why she was there. Rocker was at the North Americans with her back in September. I met him there and chatted with him for a bit.

;D

Note how when other nationalities come to America they piss them selfs out of rage that people expect them to learn English. However when an American goes to another country and tries to talk to people in English they get all pissed off anyways that this "stupid American" can't be bothered to learn the language. Massive retarded double standards.
-

Is he as much of a bigoted jackass now as he was a few years back?
Oh, never mind - I can read his t-shirt.
-
I just think Derek Anthony should learn english.

You're going to have to give me a week on that decision. How good is the girls' ass and face?
-
Oh lord.... ;)
Love you guys...

Care to explain what the heck you're doing with a knuckle-head like Rocker...when I'm available? :D
Seriously, I hope that dude isn't the dickhead he was in the past. He pissed off a lot of New Yorkers with all his racist statement about the 7 train, etc.

I bring my silverware translator with me, no need.

You hit the nail on the head. Its the enablers. No bilingual shit and they would learn quick.

Intensone, is every jock in the book a former client of yours? Pretty soon you will be saying you trained Mickey Mantle. ;)

Rocker had a few good relief appearances for the Braves in Sept. of 1999. He came back to earth when the Yankees swept the Braves in the series. Its been downhill for that bum ever since.
