lol i knew someone would say that so I said UNITED STATES not Native american land. majority rules it just makes sense to make english our national language our constitution wasn't written in hopi or apache or spanish, but ENGLISH.
This is a free country. People have the right to speak whatever language they want, and no one has the right to force language onto people if they don't want it. Period.
Our majority also legally protects the minority, majority doesn't always rule. Also the constitution doesn't prescribe English as the national language, it was just written in English. How about the fact. Pennsylvania almost made a copy in German at the time. New York made official documents in Dutch up until the early 20th century to celebrate the Dutch colonial legacy. French is an official language of Louisiana and a de facto one for government documents in Maine. Government forms in CT can come in over 10 different languages ranging from Italian to Korean. No one ever complains about these though, just those damn spicks coming here and changing society. Just like those damn wops, coming here and changing our great society that those damn micks came here and changed. Irish need not apply.
I think people who speak English, should learn a real language, the mother language of English - and everyone who forces English on people should be forced to learn old Latin. That's right. Google it. It was the precursor for REAL ENGLISH. GAWD! That's the language of our forefathers, and it should be the official language of today! Srsly, people coming and trying to speak English as if it's the new orange.
yeah you're right but they grew into working and helping this country out, and learned english along the way now--immigrants just hurt this country..use up the government, dont find a correct job, live with other immigrants. and people should very well know what language america technically is in texas you are forced to learn spanish or you wont get the job--how "free" is that hmm? Telling born on this soil american to learn a different language so the immigrants dont have to.. Whats so hard or racist about me saying.... hey...the immigrants that so "wanna help this country" get the education like the rest of us, get off government checks, get a house and get a job that pays by the hour you know it and i know it.
This is racist at worst, or asinine at best. It's funny how we look at the past, guess what, immigrants in the past lived in filthy slums too. Little Italys, Chinatowns, ect, now they're tourist places in major cities, how do you think they formed? Immigrant communities living together in horrible conditions. Immigrants do more work then anyone, how many immigrants do you see making $25 an hour? How often is the phrase "working like a mexican" said to meant barely working vs working back breaking labor. Get an education like the rest of us? Yea, ok. Conviently ignore the fact most people don't go to college fully on their own dime, in fact the majority receive pell or other types of federal/state grants, go to a state school that is subsides by other people's tax money, or qualify for a loan only because of their parents who have to co-sign for it.
people still watch the big 3 networks? Man after the shit that NBC pulled on Conan NBC,ABC,CBS can suck my you know what zuckerman you can go to hell!!
That is not racist one bit. Our family had to do it, why should they get a free ride? and I dont know about you but i see many many many foreigners popping out babies and living in a 3 bedroom house UNDER government care and without the goVernment even knowing and I see many hard working but take that money they make and go to mexico with it. Doesnt help the only true true foreigners that help this country are born here and raised right and this is what SHOULD go on and really you think ANY BODY can afford 40 grand a year to go to a college? Of course they have to take loans out and re pay for it and grants are for straight A people and honor roll people! and parents have the choice to co sign or not Hell its going to cost me 2 grand a semister that i gotta pay for on my own dime cause i cant get shit from the government cause why? the immigrant next to me needs more help than i do
You dont have a clue. Come to Las Vegas and try to get a job without knowing how to speak mezcan. You will be visiting the Salvation Army for food each day. I am lucky that I am retired and dont have to worry about this anymore, but it is a shame how this country is slowly turning from South to North into the United States of Mexico.
Jesus christ there's so much wrong with that post I'm just going to answer it all out of order: Grants are not for straight A students, anyone with a GPA of I believe 2.8 and above is eligible for both pell grants and federal subsidized loans. Florida and Georgia(and maybe others) give full free tuition to state schools to any high school student who had a B average or above. Fuck I didn't make the honor roll at any point during senior year and I got pell grants, your money paid for 2/3 of my school, and the subsidized loans for the rest, hell yeaaaa. No kidding parents have the choice to co-sign, but then what if they don't, I'd like to see the 19 year old with the credit rating to take out a $12,000 loan. Doesn't matter anyways, American students are laughable anyways, our kids are fucking morons by nearly every measure. American degrees are often worth paper in other countries. We're so spoiled and dumb it's hilarious, no wonder we're the last country in the world that debates whether health care is a right or not. God people taking hard earned money and doing what they want with it, blasphemy, how unamerican! You realize unless everything you buy is made in America you're doing the exact same fucking thing right? In fact people bringing dollars around the world and keeping the dollar's status as the de facto international currency is what makes it easier for the federal government to borrow money at extremely cheap rates, which in turn goes down the chain to even your local bank which can then loan out money for cheaper. America's fabulous lifestyle once again funded by immigrants from around the world. Some things never change even after 200 150 years. God immigrants abusing the system, you ever try to cheat on your taxes? Cause you know native born Americans would never, ever try to cheat the government to get a better life for themselves. Never. Sorry our ancestors lived in a time where government welfare programs for anyone were unheard of. But obviously you know our ancestors were the good(i.e. white) immigrants, they would never try to find loopholes in the system to make a better life for themselves and their children. What the fuck does this even mean, the only good immigrants are no immigrants?
You don't have a clue, get with the fucking times, shit changes, guess what, this is the glory of the free market. Someone who can speak two languages is a greater asset to any business. Why not just try learning a different language, strange theory huh? It's really not hard, in fact English is one of the hardest languages to learn in terms of latin script.
you realize you just called yourself laughable and a fucking moron. lol. cool you got most of your college paid for. congrats. make something of it instead of bragging about it america just needs to grow some balls again, and stop being such a slut and giving everything away. starting with any immigrant that lives on welfare, gets kicked off and shipped back to the country. Most just come here to live for free, not to work anymore, there is NO work.
hahaha, do you even fucking know how hard it is to immigrate somewhere, move your entire life and family to a totally foreign place. That alone is more work then the average American will do in their life. Any immigrant that's looking for a free ride isn't coming to America, we have the most austere welfare system in the first world for native born citizens, let alone immigrants. Nobody gets a free ride in this country, hell we literally let people die from treatable diseases cause "argh, socialized medicine" Perhaps you should use your schooling to start getting some knowledge. Notice I said knowledge, not learning.
Learn Spanish Stacy. This country is changing, just deal with it. Or, turn off the TV and dont watch the BULLSHIT that passes for news/entertainment nowadays, and you can further insulate yourself in your safe white cocoon. I just noticed your avatar says "keep it gangsta white girl style". Mexicans call themselves gangstas Stacy...are you Mexican? Or a white chick ripping off black culture?
dude my avatar is a joke. get off it seriously. I still refuse to learn any language for any immigrant that decides to move their family ILLEGALLY across the border This country will not LET it go so far that every single american has to learn spanish. it just wont. What? what if all the italians wanted to come here and disobey the rules too, we gotta listen to the government to learn italian for them too? it wont happen, guarantee you we will get enough americans to fight like i am, to keep english number one in THIS english speaking country
And the conservative nutbags did not want healthcare to pass and that did. Things change Stacy. This "country" did not always belong to "us". I bet all the natives loved to learn English. Karma is a motherfucker isn't it?
