Rant-Must speak Spanish

[Surf Monkey]

when you keep yelling "Fire" pretty soon somebody may just take you up on that.

I'm not the one yelling fire.

isn't that exactly the way you approach others' free expression?

Nope. I've never said that any of you should leave America. I've never accused any of you of "ruining" threads. But I've had those and other charges leveled at me based only on the fact that I happen to disagree with some of you.

In fact, you're one of the main offenders in that area. You call me demeaning and insulting names on a routine basis.

You may have a right to say anything, but that doesn't make it the right thing to say. That, of course, is just my very own humble opinion.

Based on the constant stream of insults you throw at me, I submit to you that the above statement isn't your opinion at all.

I think this Nation has always bent over backwards to accomodate all people who want to live here, but it always comes down to being able to hear and represent everyone without translating 2000 different languages first.

I think that's just xenophobia. America is a vast nation. It has a cultural heritage that grows from hundreds of other nations, many of which aren't english speaking. America has always been multi-lingual to one degree or another. If we have to accommodate people who speak Spanish, what's the problem? In nations all over the globe they accommodate English speakers far more aggressively than we do Spanish speakers and guess what? No disasters resulted.
