Sorry for being dense, but why is culture stupid? You cannot eliminate "culture". It is our language, our beliefs and our history. You cannot just eliminate culture period. Some cultures come and go, but there will always be culture. I'm not sure if I made any sense
i listen to all types of music
some like some mexicans only listen to thier music but maybe im wrong
i could be wrong ,then again maybe im right
music is the universal language but not to some-theyre peossibly chavenits and the english culture is my culture
england /anglos invented a lot of stuff -the computer you type on to get out your hate against the anglo race even!! lol
arizona voted english as the official language of the state. i like to feel i'm responsable because i threatened a lawsuit and things moved very quickly. first; i was only taught english in school. if english is not the official language why was i taught it in school? i was discriminated against because i was not taught the other possible languages used in this country. second; because i don't speak spanish; the job market discriminates against me because without an official language; employers want bilingual people; thus the government is causing me to be discriminated against. thirdly; if we're going to accomidate spanish speaking people; we must also accomodate those others speaking their own languages. so i demanded the option to press 3 for polish. otherwise; they'd be discriminating against me because they accomodate one people and not another.
so the options are to either legislate an official language or waste billions in tax dollars accomodating all languages. and believe me; your taxes will increase dramatically for government services. the constitution backs me as we must be equal to all.
anyway; to answer your question; yes; america needs an official language.
you just dont care if the culture of the english /american etc people is minimized and while places in florida and california and texas have spanish only and arrogantly dont care if they knOw spanish only and while places in usa put up on gov biulidings only the mexican flag and ban english books in public libariries - THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENEING!1DO YOU CARE?!!WAKE UP!
Can you please provide a source for your claims that there are US government building that only fly the Mexican flag or US libraries that ban english books.

I don't think individuals or private businesses should be forced to speak one language.
That being said, I could see a need for one language for laws, courts, government, etc. It becomes too cumbersome to support every language that exists.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

Individuals no, of course not, Private business yes, having a basic business language is better, if you speak more than english then you'd get access to higher jobs etc. But everyone must have the same access to work and one of the way is to make everyone speak the same language, then you have to choose that language, in the USA it should, without a doubt, be english. Which doesn't prevent anyone from speaking chinese or spanish when they want to.
I speak french at work and everyone have to know french, but i wouldn't have had this job without being bilingual, my boss is an american so if i can't communicate with him, i don't get this job, it's up to me to get better, and get a better life, but the law provide a french working environment, it wouldn't be the same, without our law, with an american boss.

We were unable to google an instance of someone flying a Mexican flag over a U.S. government building because IT HASN'T HAPPENED.
What I just read was that ONE GUY somewhere said that they should fly a Mexican flag over a school where the majority of kids were Hispanic. I see no signs that anyone is planning on doing it.
Now, about that book banning ... did that actually happen, or is this another instance of a couple of kooks talking about something and you responding as though it were the end of the world?

individuals or businesses are not nor ever have been forced to speak one language. the deli where i get my ethnic food speaks polish and a poor attempt at engish. it seems to limit their customer base but it doesn't bother them. people can point and lots do.
that being said; if the government accomidates spanish speaking people; they must also accomidate every other language. if they claim there's not enough [polish] speaking people to warrant the expense; they are then discriminating against the [polish] because they are a minority.
now imagine the expense of this and realize your taxes will HAVE to at least triple.
that being said; it would be in your best interests to write a letter to your elected officials.

i support you on this. canada is a bilingual country (at least parts). you knew this since you could speak and you were taught both languages. but in america; we're trying to change horses in the middle of the river. this is insane.
One stupid person wanting to fly the Mexican flag at a high school is a long way from Mexicans wanting to take over this country. This is an instance of a few idiots making stupid suggestions. So in reality there is no government building that only flies the mexican flag and there is no library that has banned all english books. Just a handfull of people making outrageous demands that will never be met. Way to over-exaggerate the case though.

Our friend here likes to make mountains out of mole hills. Didn't you hear that hispanics want to slaughter all anglos over the age of 16 because some small obscure fanatic organization said so.

I was always partial to the Ebonics that was coming out of America back in the mid 80's. Especially the, hooked on Ebonics tapes you could buy. So my vote would go to Ebonics as the official language of the United States of America.
After that I think you should start teaching the English that the rest of the world uses in your schools so your children won't have to keep knocking letters out of words so they are easier to spell and look the way they are pronounced.

it's not a mole hill. about having an official language that is. and i'll be the one making the mountian in the courts. i've got too much time on my hands.

Ok, so ONE guy (in a nation of over 300 million) flew a Mexican flag over a school. He flew it UNDER the flags of the U.S. and the state of Texas, not alone as you'd said before, and he was forced to take it down. This constitutes a crisis in your eyes? :rolleyes:

I'm not refering to the official language, but to the numerous threads about killer Mexican organizations and about government buildings flying Mexican flags and libraries banning english books. The mexican flag flying government building doesn't exist and neither does the no-english book carrying library. Proposals may have been put forth by a small lunatic fringe but if you listen to Ravenna here you would thing that 99.99999% of hispanics are out in the streets burning english books and organizing and Interhamwe style militia to start killing whitey off.

i agree with you. but i know of other mexican organizations including gangs that insist they are going to take "their" land back from the american government. and although people may go overboard on thier views or opinions; (i do); these little trickles that seem to mean nothing seem to have a way of getting out of hand. the us has countless secret militias and tons of arms and ammo stashed; and enough people with the "kill them all and let God sort them out" mentallity so i don't see any take-overs as being realistic.

I'm aware of hispanic organizations with their hispanic power attitude, like Nation of Aztlan and the National Council of La Raza. These people are a minority though and 95% of hispanics pay them no mind. Just like 95% of Anglos pay the KKK no mind.
