What? Last post till later: I really don't understand the argument that Americans should be learning Spanish, why? Is it because it has allowed too many spanish in? Why should Americans learn spanish because it allowed many spanish to come here? Doesn't assimilation go the other way? This...

I gtg now, i'll reply as soon as i can.

LOL. You said nations where immigrants move to change along with the immigrants, especially language. The change from Old English to New English had nothing to do with immigration! Such change never happened, never will and never should! That's because English has roots to Latin and German...

Yes it is different, the same way rap language and slangs are different from today's use but you don't see that affecting the english language. Standard english is still being used in common conversations. No but you are comparing two different things, a well developed language against some...

LOL! Did you actually think people at that era actually spoke like the characters in Shakespeare's plays? LOL! And plus that is still english language, what this is about changing from one language to a totally different language or add.

Language doesn't. Never has, never will, and never should. How can US survive as a nation if it keeps having to change or add languages (as in adding them in public signs) just because it has allowed other people to come in? Shouldn't the people who come in change just to show how greateful they...

Even as an immigrant my self, i find it deeply insulting people stating here that Americans should learn spanish, all because it allowed many spanish to come to the US. Instead of immigrants changing for the US, it seems US should be changing for the immigrants. Yet many wonder why there are...

Tell you what, when the spanish successfull invade the US through use of force then they can demand to Americans to learn english. Until then i have a message to the spanish people, LEARN ENGLISH if you want to come and stay here!

Every nation/group even the natives themselves went around trying to conquer others. Get over it. You're just being a sore loser because US came up on top. "Moral" has nothing to do with it. The world doesn't operate under the system of "whoever gets to that empty land first owns it."

Its same thing. To appreciate freedom of speech basically means to appreciate yours. No they dont have a right to try to threaten you physically by edging you off the road. But they have a right to express their displease with what you have to say. Maybe you need to respect their rights to...

Yea for people who have a reason (murderer, or terrorist) to fear those men in black uniforms. Do you?

... freedom of speech protection is a law. You can say it without getting arrested. But the people who are hearing your bulls don't have to like it or just keep quiet about it. When you make provacative statements, even if it is your rights, you will be responded with provacatively by others...

WHO ARE THE COPS TERRORIZING? Some months old babies? Get real. You people are unbelievably ungreatful people. If the gov't does nothing to protect us, you get mad at the gov't for failing to "protect you". Then when the gov't actually does something to protect us, you get MADDER at them. With...

They can have them back at their home countries. No one asked them to come here and pay taxes which the services won't be entitled to them. They should've know, which i believe they do, the difficulties they would face when they came to the US ILLEGALLY. Not our fault, its theirs. US isn't...

The only fundamental right they have is the right to kicked out of the US, nothing less, nothing more.

You're comparing a military invasion to a migration of poor people to find better life.

I doubt it. But they are hiring translators to communicate though. Why spend billions trying to teach all US servicemen (as they rotate in year to year basic) when you can just hire translators for $500 a month or so.

Because that creates division within a state. If we can't communicate to each other in a common language, if many many new comers are not feeling required to learn english instead of just speaking their own native language, this nation will become a land fill with different types of animals...

I don't disagree with your first paragraph. Then again a nation/empire has also the chance of being used the "might is right" doctrine against it even if it did not use it against others. Its a fact of life, every nation has had used might is right doctrine. No nation/empire was formed out of a...

Historically yes. Currently, however, no. In the past like in the early 1900s, there was a HUGE acknowledgement that ENGLISH is the official language of the US even though there wasn't a law to confirm that (its one of those "it goes without saying" thing). Today, that has been STRONGLY...
