How about, the people coming to this country need to learn English?
WTF Obama. This fucking guy.
I agree its good for children to learn many languages but what he is saying is flat out fucked up.
Like I said in another thread, most europeans speak many languages b/c the countries over there are very small and close together like our states are.
Dumb ass Obama you fucker.

    Everyone who comes to live in this country should be required to learn english.

    Our public signs, directions, billboards etc.....should be in English.

    But, I do believe it would be a positive thing for languages like Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and German to be learned and learned well. We have had language classes in our schools for a long time. I learned quite a bit when I was in school. But most people/kids don't take it seriously and learn just enough to pass the class and then forget all about it.

    Nothing wrong with expanding our language arts. it's good for the mind and for the soul.

    what's wrong with learning another language?

    surely its a good thing? :confused:


    its not like he's advocating children should attend compulsory How Gay Men Have Sex classes is it?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Sure its a good thing. I totally agree but he is not making a point to tell immigrants to learn English, he is saying b/c they don't speak it that WE should learn their language. Not right IMO.

    Yes, English.

    If you come to live in america, you should learn the language.

    If I go to France, I don't expect them to all know english.

    If I go to Mexico, they don't give a fuck about learning english for my sake and I don't expect them to.

    I'm no fan of his (the whole socialism thing in particular). But the one thing that is important for a culture is for everyone to share a common language otherwise the society will become balcanized and there will be no cohesion.

    Please...
    I feel for the people who were here before us. I think what happened to them was terrible. But that was then and this is now. All we can do is learn form it, not dwell on the past. Give me a break trying to compair then and now.

    Ummm... he is not saying that at all... In fact he said the he agrees that immigrants should learn english, and that we should learn languages not because immigrants won't learn english, but because it would make us more capable in the world.

    No. he is simply saying "come on over to my country and we will make you as comfortable as possible. We will put your language on everything we sell. If yuo buy a home appliance, it will come with 12 different direction books to make sure you are comfortable." Fuck that.

    i think some people dont realize the majority of the Western Hemisphere is spanish speaking... i think it is IMPERATIVE for our current and future American generations to become multi lingual, especially in Spanish

    There are approximately 530 million people living south of the Rio Grande... wake up and smell the coffee beans

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    i hate taco bell... there are plenty of authentic places around me to go to now... i love a real taco, not the gringo crap covered in a bunch of shit served at the chains like chi chi's and taco bell... give me the grilled soft tortilla, grilled meat, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. that shit cant be beat. i eat it at least once a week
