No debate needed Glenn. I just don't like the SOB's! They're a pain in the ass to deal with, I don't think the word "humility" is in their vocabulary, and they all sound like they're sucking helium. They got no bass in their voice! I was at Lowes a few weeks back and listened to an Indian guy carry on about a light bulb that burnt out prematurely and how he wanted them to replace it. It was all I could do not to slap him up side the head for giving that poor little girl so much grief. I believe we all should tolerate immigrants while they learn to become Americans, but I don't think we have to put up with any shit from them. JMO.
