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.

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?
its not like he's advocating children should attend compulsory How Gay Men Have Sex classes is it?
Required to learn English? What else are we going to require them to learn? and what exactly to we require American's to learn?

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 think that would be a great idea.
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.

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.

There are approximately 530 million people living south of the Rio Grande... wake up and smell the coffee beans
I think it would be great for people coming in to balcanize my cohesion...
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

yeah, you are really blowing this one out of proportion... but feel free to continue because it is funny as hell ready such nonsense
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

do you know why your appliance comes with instructions in multiple laguages? becasue you live in a hemisphere where people speak multiple laguages... french, english, and spanish... and large companies that make your appliances sell their products throughout the world, let alone this hemisphere... so it only makes sense to include instructions for the main laguages you will be selling too... ever buy somethign from ikea? the instructions also come in swedish, because it is a swedish based company.
English is not the only laguage spoken in the world.. not to metion you live in the worlds greatest melting pot to boot

Ours is the only country in the world I know where people are afraid of learning new languages. It's sad.
I agree it would be a positive thing. But, aside from the curriculum already taught in high school and college, I don't think Obama has any right to tell me what I should teach my kids.
So what? That's their prerogative. I took differential calculus in high school, but ended up not needing it in my job. I've forgotten that, too.
There's nothing wrong with it, so long as it's voluntary. What's next for Obama? "Every American child should be required to read The Great Gatsby?" Or else what?
for the least they could possibly do
Sorry, I think things should only be written in English here. Thats just how I feel.
I see your point on the directions but this is how i feel.

Just out of curiosity, have you done a lot of traveling? Because pretty much everywhere else in the world, not only signs, but PA announcements and many other things are done in multiple languages. Not just border towns or tiny countries. It's not to bow down to anyone or to minimize the importance of a native tongue, but to create access. Do you want the US to compete on an international level in a global economy, or do you want to isolate ourselves further than we are already?
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
riiiiggghhhtt.... he said that.
