On Do you agree with the LPGA’s rule requiring players to speak English beginning in 2009?
Posted on August 28 at 7:32 p.m.

I am not advocating that eveybody be required to speak english. That would be ludicrous. I am just explaining why it is advantageous if you want to play golf professionally as a woman.
The PGA is different. There is the European PGA and several other countries where a man can make a good living playing golf no matter what language he speaks. If you are a professional woman golfer you are trying to get your tour card on the LPGA to make it big.
As a international player wouldn't you want to learn english anyway to open the doors alluded to ealier?

Closet dweller,
The LPGA is a private organization. The LPGA is uniquely American, and totally capitalistic. As The Dude alluded to, it is in large fiscal trouble and needs to open all channels of potential marketing opportunities. Like it or not, (and I do), America is still the economic center of the sports world. If you are a lady golfer and you have the ability, you are playing on the LPGA. There are no competitors foir the LPGA and there won't be any time soon. The LPGA is where the money is. So, take your philosophy degree and bring it to starbucks the next time you buy a $8 coffee and are looking for work, and realize that if "embracing differences" doesn't display a bottom line, then much of the world will dispell it.
Also, this rule will end up enabling ALL lady golfers world wide to make more money in the long run. This is still the best country to get fat pockets in. Why would the LPGA want to limit their opprotunity to garner more world class talent? You think they are just racist non-progressive, right wing pigs? NO. They are business people and the bottom line has the final say.
Speaking english does not help a golfer shoot par, it will help them sign bigger checks though.
Have fun in France, and keep reaching for the stars.

Private sector, most events played on American soil, and I am sure the oral exams will not be that stringent. I'd like to hear a logical reason to be against this, assuming my third point.

Also, Just because the 48k was not deposited into a bank does not mean a crime was committed, but in Youngstown, the other owners probably did take the revenue without the part-owners knowledge. That is what sets the valley apart from normal society.

You produce something founded on the fundamental right of free speech within the boundaries of the law, and then you remove a post that was admittedly coarse, but certainly within the law, because you are fascists.
Go get your shine box.

How can you be a part owner in a Subway and not know the other party or parties were pocketing the revenue? They walk among us.

The black families who are being "strangled" by their environment and culture probably deal with the most adversity of any group in this country.
If you are attempting to raise a family, attend school, give effort, work for a living, and make it better for your descendants and society in general you are not viewed with the requisite admiration in the black community. Unfortunately this is because you are not the norm.

The breakdown of the family structure in our society has led us to where we are now. Unless we can retroactively instill values and morals in this children who are now adults or approaching adulthood it is too late.

Identifying the problem is the easy part. The solution is potentially the most important and difficult the country has ever faced, and unfortunately it will not be implemented.
There are too many groups of people in this country who cannot and do not want to face reality. So the deterioration of society will continue until one of several potential outcomes occurs. None of which are positive.
