Because this is America, not Mexico. If you are going to come here, then at least learn our goddamn language. -- Posted by bassguitarplayer2010 at 9:26 pm on July 9, 2008 Ive learned french, and Im not gonna learn a whole other language cause no one doesnt have any balls to say otherwise -- Posted by iinsurgent at 9:27 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 9:26 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:25 pm on July 9, 2008 What's wrong with being bilingual?

I agree, but that isn't what I asked. -- Posted by anc8469 at 9:27 pm on July 9, 2008 Thats ridiculous, why don't we all go ahead and leard every language there is?!? -- Posted by runthespread at 9:27 pm on July 9, 2008 As much as I don't want to stray from English, the United States is a country founded on immigrants and prides itself in that. Reality is that Spanish-speakers are on the rise dramatically, so it would only be natural to find a middle ground. This doesn't mean to not speak English or to have the American tongue be Spanish. -- Posted by TheRedreaper at 9:27 pm on July 9, 2008 Depending on your geographical location, speaking multiple languages may be essential. Now, the language(s) in question should depend entirely on the region in which you live, but speaking multiple languages will seldom harm you. -- Posted by JuggaletteBaby at 9:29 pm on July 9, 2008 i don't really feel like learning a new language. -- Posted by acausedelle at 9:29 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:27 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 9:26 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:25 pm on July 9, 2008 What's wrong with being bilingual?    Because this is America, not Mexico.

Very true but there is one huge difference between past immigrants and todays, the past ones who came over in boats they came here to help create this country with blood and sweat, these immigrants today have killed United States citizens, thats the difference -- Posted by Baron Samedi at 9:30 pm on July 9, 2008 I want my kid to be fluent in Aztec.  No real reason... -- Posted by penguinsrule at 9:30 pm on July 9, 2008 I appreciate and respect people that are bilingual. I'd love to be. however we should not be obliged to learn another language JUST to make the fucking immigrants feel comfortable...OMG i really need to just stop there. fucking obama.....*seethes* -- Posted by iinsurgent at 9:31 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 9:29 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:27 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 9:26 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:25 pm on July 9, 2008 What's wrong with being bilingual?   Because this is America, not Mexico.

French isn't on the rise as much as Spanish is in the US. I dunno what the video clip was said so maybe that would change what I'm thinking now but I honestly see no problem with teaching children a new language, especially if it's one they're bound to encounter now. -- Posted by emo boy at 9:31 pm on July 9, 2008 That was kinda low. It was SARCASM, from the end of a clip you moron! You just set your cause back in the eyes of everyone on here, smarty. Just more proof that you've got NOTHING on him!! Give up. He's already won.

Very true but there is one huge difference between past immigrants and todays, the past ones who came over in boats they came here to help create this country with blood and sweat, these immigrants today have killed United States citizens, thats the difference The question then is where and when do you draw the line between past and newer? Not every immigrant that came in was involved in founding the country. -- Posted by runthespread at 9:52 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from penguinsrule at 9:30 pm on July 9, 2008 I appreciate and respect people that are bilingual.

The facts are that Spanish speakers are on the rise and communication needs to occur. -- Posted by Jettie12 at 9:57 pm on July 9, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 12:26 am on July 10, 2008 Quote: from iinsurgent at 11:25 pm on July 9, 2008 What's wrong with being bilingual?

I was just about to say that. -- Posted by Crimson Con at 10:53 am on July 11, 2008 The predominant language in the world is english, not spanish. You can go to almost any country and find people that speak english. Of course Obama isn't going to say " Your child has to speak spanish." In order for him to enforce his agenda, he has to be subtle. Liberals want America to be more like Europe instead of being proud of their country. Pages: 1 2  Next
