Pressing 1 for English is serious business.

That's not the issue. All's fair in love and war, some competition never hurt anyone. It's when, like WW said, our government starts to cater towards them. They shouldn't even be here in the first place, why are we trying to make their stay more comfortable?

Because they are just as much human as we. They are just trying to escape desperate conditions as our great-grandparents were.

Could be worse. Look at Canada. They got stuck with French as their other language.

But French sounds so much better than Spanish does.

I'm also with WW. From my observations, however, they don't try to learn that much English. I've learned a little retail Spanish to help out with sales and stuff, but for the most part I get sick of hearing "No hable ingles!" Or just having people smile at me like a big, shit-eating idiot.

I guess I don't interact with Spanish speakers that often. Mostly I get asian people who don't care enough to learn English.

And FUCK French. It's a snooty bullshit language designed for talking down to people. Spanish (I'm talking real Spanish, not the Mexican bastardization) sounds much better. But that's just my opinion, of course. Fuck French.

I disagree. French is a beautiful language and flows smoothly. Spanish, niggard whether it's Mexican Spanish or Spanish Spanish, sounds choppy and rough.

And FUCK French. It's a snooty bullshit language designed for talking down to people. Spanish (I'm talking real Spanish, not the Mexican bastardization) sounds much better. But that's just my opinion, of course. Fuck French.

That was a pretty idiotic statement.

SO the question must be asked, are you the racist that call Vol at work?

Mexican kids aren't allowed to have toys unless it is a soccer ball.

Because they are just as much human as we. They are just trying to escape desperate conditions as our great-grandparents were.

Well said.

I agree wholeheartedly with Grav in that sentiment. Except about the great-grandparents part. My (x)great-grandparents were brought here to be slaves. At least I assume as much.
