St.Cloud,MN is a place I’d be leaving ASAP.

It’s being used as a dumping ground.

This was only his second thread and he had no replies. Probably a retread.

By ordering all restaurants shall henceforth be halal, prayers broadcast loudly five times a day, making all women wear hijab, and imprisoning anybody who says mean things about Mad Mo. That’s how.

Only slightly, though.

Yeah, that'll help...meanwhile that dude and his brother have got nice gigs on the taxpayers' dime that otherwise wouldn't be needed at all. Loss-loss.

The whole ESL (English as a Second Language) industry is a taxpayer-funded freebie for Third Worlders.
