Or just a poke in the eye?


Oh no, I'm still going to beat you up.  You and Lasz.  And Funked.  I'll probably beat up Mini on the way down there too!  It can't be a con without veiled threats of violence before hand!  :D

I think they should learn our language in order to survive in this country...to educate them in our schools in spanish, then turn them out in the streets is silly.

~36million PEOPLE in CA.  About 10% are under 18...
about 22% of the rest are foreign born. Still trying to determin the total number of registered voters... but we had a good turnout, really.



Sadly, my best trolls are unintended... :)

Actually, I prefer "I'm bigoted against bigots" or "I like cheese".  On occasion it's "I want porn", but that motto often fades away quickly only to be realized again later.

I like that one better too, but I've decided to quote the original.

If English is to be the "Official" language...should we make mis-spelling and mis-pronunciation a crime?:rolleyes:

You have to admit, as a whole Americans are an arrogant lot. Most (not all, but most) of the people outside the U.S. speak more than 1 language and speak them fluently. I leared very early growing up in Texas that learning to speak at least remedial Spanish is not only a good idea, but essential.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Yes, I think it should be a crime.

^:rofl


hablo un poco espanol. Pero no intiendo enough to be able to speak with these visitors to MY country....


 There was a song about this in the 80's.  Storm Troopers of Death was the name of the band, if I remember correctly.  "Speak English or DIE".


 People in EU want to speak 20 diferent languages, more power to them.  It's MUCH more efficient if everybody spoke the same language though.  Remember we got all these diferent languages as punishment from God for man's arrogance.  Don't ya think it would be a WHOLE lot easier to live together if we could say.... communicate?

Douglas Adams had a thing or two to say about this idea.

Sticking a fish in my ear seems a small price to pay for universal communication.

Well, Udie has a point in a way... I mean, if you're going to go Euro for money to make life easier, seems one language would be the logical next step...
