Down right rude, and threatening.......Middle eastern 7-11 type gas station-convenience store operators. I got beaten up, ( fists) while complaining about poor servicer in Hyannis, Massachusetts! They expressed that America was doomed!

I'm outraged, and so should you!

OK, out with the whole story.

All the gas/convenience stores around here employ middle eastern folks. Most of them speak little english but are generally friendly.

What service did they fail to provide?

Why would you complain to people who have poor english, no skills, and no capability to change the status quo? It's like me complaining to the Coast Guard on the status of my license renewal (2.5 months and nothing).

What license are you after? I would have assumed you had your 50 ton, but maybe now looking to go higher. I have a friend who was captian of one of the cross sound ferries from New London to Orient, Point.

File a police report.

Ok, I'm of the opinion that many, if not all, middle eastern people, RECENTLY) in the capacity I have mentioned, have an agenda, and you and I, (Americans since world war II) are their target............Muslim forthward.............they are not kidding now, watch and you will see what I'm saying.....................

I think their "agenda" is to earn enough money pumping gas and selling coffee so that they can buy some food for the week.

You really think your gas man is a terrorist??

Hey, we killed off the Native Indians, so the arabs have the right to bomb and mutilate our kids

Do you know any of these people personally?

Embrace the diversity. This is your opportunity to learn from them. It was probably your fault for being insensitive to their cultural paradigm. You should go back and apologize. Also, enroll in a multicultural curriculum in college to increase your cross-cultural sensitivity. You oppress them since you are part of the Establishment.

You know what BOTNST, we have a shock coming! You ain't seen nothing yet!

He's got the hook out about 50 yards from the boat............seeing if you will bite on it.

So cute.

I live a couple of blocks from a small grocery run by a Yemeni man and his two sons. I talk with them a lot. They're good people. They're good at dealing with the several various ethnic groups that shop there. I value my friendship with them.

Bot, you're not as cute as you think you are.

Sorry, withering, sarcastic scorn has a WAY limited effectiveness as a communications tool. Does shed a light on the perpetrator though.

Ah-haha! That's where you're wrong! I am far cuter than I think I am. And a hell of a lot smarter. My best attribute of all is that my humility allows me to recognize that about myself and not gloat.

You may kiss my ring,

Bot

I've had the 100 ton since I was 18. I hardly use it, but, I'm not going to let it lapse. No upgrade. Just the standard five year renewal. Going to take their sweet time doing it. I'd really be pissed if I had to use it daily to earn a living.

Most of the Cross Sound Ferries are well over 100 tons. However, they managed to squeak the New London down below 100 tons. That's why the passengers all get soaked in the rain............no enclosed cabin space.
