Protecting our language for future generations

[NES]

or spanish? lets be clear

Pretty sure the spanish slaughtered every indio if he didnt convert to catholicsm rather quickly

They did, and theres no changing the past but as it stands most Latin Nations teach foreign languages from a very young age. Thats progress. On the otherhand you got Americans trying to make it foreign languages and cultures out to be EVIL to scare people from expanding their horizons.

Like the white people did when they moved to California and Texas?

If the Mexicans didn't get their asses handed to them by the white man then things might be different. Aren't you a white boy yourself?

Yes he´s white trash, but his mind has been set free.

Then why do you keep bringing it up as a defense to your arguments?

"Yeah so if some queer raped you back in junior high does that mean you should just let people stick it in your ass whenever they feel like it?"

Because Im not trying to change the past, just hoping for a better future.

Nothing wrong with that, although I'm not sure how learning Spanish would accomplish that. Look around the world NES, the majority of people learn to speak English as a second language..

Exactly my point, everywhere but the USA. What the F is up with that?

 

[NES]

Us being too proud to learn a second language just because we were born in the richest country in the world is about as retarded as Jack saying its stupid for us to work since his mommy pays for everything for him.

 

[texansfan]

We already speak English here.

 

[NES]

weakest excuse I have ever heard, I seriously hope you are just playing devil's advocate in this thread.

 

[Jack Herer]

texansfan, learn Spanish so that when you are giving a Mexican a ticket and he says ¨cerdo mal nacido¨ you know exactly what he´s talking about. Then you can beat the crap outta him.

 

[texansfan]

I don't care if I get called an pig by anyone really. Plus, I can communicate enough with them to write a ticket if need be.

No translation needed when the handcuffs come out though, they seem to understand the meaning.

 

[barman]

Why do they speak German in Germany? Italian in Italy? Spanish in Mexico? Why does it bother you?

Mexican people don't speak Spanish, they speak Mexican.

And people from my home country of Texas speak Texican

When I moved into Boca Raton/Ft Lauderdale for a few months in 2001, I at least took the time to learn how to say "youse guys" so as to fit in with the natives.

 

[Romanowski]

NES no offense but the reason in latin american nations kids who are privileged enough are taught another language

is because the upper middle class and upper class do business with the rest of the world.

In the US you can live a perfectly comfortable life knowing only english,

if you choose to learn another language then more power to you

However official document will be written in english, legal and binding. period

No hippie logic will change that

 

[texansfan]

Mexican people don't speak Spanish, they speak Mexican.

And people from my home country of Texas speak Texican

So Americans speak American? I would say Mexicans speak Mexican Spanish myself...

 

[Jack Herer]

Does the word American mean you own the continent?

 

[Romanowski]

define own
