I think that the owner of a restaurant should have the power to make policies like whether or not to require english when ordering. Also I think that laws are sometimes rediculous. There should be no law forbidding smoking or transfat. Let the potential customer decide with his or her feet where they will eat.

¿Por qué deberían forzar a alguien a sólo hablar el inglés en un país libre(gratis)?

Pourquoi quelqu'un devrait-il être forcé de seulement parler l'anglais dans un pays libre(gratuit) ?

Warum soll irgend jemand gezwungen werden, nur Englisch in einem freien Land zu sprechen?

Why should anyone be forced to only speak English in a free country?

I used to work in a furniture factory. There are many Puerto-Ricans working there, many who speak little or no english. I was trying to learn a little spanish. One second generation Puerto Rican told me once that it was to his people's advantage to learn english.

Was the furniture factory before or after retireing from the postal position?

Antithesis

They're not. I have friends from Armenia, Israel, India, Iraq, Albania, and Russia. They all speak english at school because they know that it's the best way to learn and socialize with other people who don't know their language. At home, they speak with their parents and siblings in their native language. People can learn to speak any language, but if you want to function in a country where the main language is english, learn english. It's just common sense.

Good, you're paying attention. The answer is after arthritis made it impossible to deliver mail.

I believe that all public buildings (city hall, courts, banks, etc.) should absolutely be smoke-free. Period.

However, I agree that restaurants, bars should be able to do what they want about smoking. As a non-smoker I certainly wouldn't patronize a restaurant that allowed smoking - but that's MY choice. And I think if they want to serve transfats to adults, that's their decison as well...however, it should be like alcohol - NO transfat to CHILREN who are too young to make an intelligent decision on the matter.
