everything is in spanish now

God forbid someone should come to this country and it's the citizens of this country that need to learn their language.

If they were forced to learn English then they would do so. There's nothing wrong with speaking a language that's foreign to this country, but if you're going to live here then you should learn English imo.

Interesting idea.

Why aren't you Houstonians speaking Kickapoo?

Shoulda, woulda, coulda

You stated it well when noting, "If they were forced..."

They're not.

While living in the USA and not speaking English is a handicap, millions of people have lived successful lives here without English going back several centuries.

I figure it's like a lot of things in life.

I could wait for The Other Guy to learn the new language and complain when he doesn't.

Or I could simply learn the new language myself and have an easy leg up on him because now I know two and he only knows one.

My best friend, his partner and their Mexican crew chief were perpareing to fly back from Virginia when two orential guys behind them were chattering away. My buddy turned and said " you know, you are in America now. Speak Spanish.

Besides my job, the Rx and a few select friends my whole life is in Spanish, and the few American products I buy from the store that would normally have instructions in English have been covered by a spanish sticker that if removed takes half the label with it.

Spanish should be taught in schools from first grade and on. White people are so ignorant.

 

[Romanowski]

as Don Quixote so eloquently put it centuries ago :^)

Every language has its place..

Spanish to speak to God

Italian among gentlemen

French to woo women

and English to talk business

 

[roadreeler57]

on a practical note ....given the state of the economy, I would say you better get ready to kiss everyone's ass and put labels in as many languages as your customers might use......in order to sell....well...whatever you can sell at this point.

Thats the biggest bunch of BS I ever read. www.proenglish.org

[ElTaino]

taino, can you speak spanish on a native level?

if you are asking if i never make a mistake, or speak like a native, then the answer is no. if you are asking if i could do business, or navigate a foreign spanish speaking country, then the answer is yes. coming from a background where nobody in my family speaks a word spanish, im proud of that

Immigrants speaking non-English have been a staple of America since at least the early 18th century. Italians, Germans, Spanish speaking legal immigrants have survived just fine without becoming fluent in English.

While I believe they would be at an advantage to learn English, it's poppycock to suggest that someone cannot live in a country and not speak the prevailing language.

We are done accomadating every Tom Dick & Harry that comes over here,fuck you son of a bitches....Better get ready to kiss my ass immigrants because its way overdue. www.proenglish.org

While you're burning your hours posting weblinks on sports handicappign forum, hundreds of thousands of immigrants are merging into American society and it's you who are confronted with the need to become smarter

You can demand others be like you or you can become smarter yourself. Take your pick and live with it.
