If Americans want to be so seperate from Europe then I think we should invent our own language. Perhaps a conglomerate of the largest minorities' languages mixed in with English.

On the street where my old office was located I was one of two or three people that spoke English. The rest were latino and it would have been useful to know the language on a daily basis. Not so much here at the new location.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I think if more people speak spanish than english in this country than spanish should be the national language. I speak only english and could care less if the language I speak is not called the national language. I will speak what I speak and not feel one less bit americian or slighted by the fact that my language is no longer called the national language. I mean really, who cares?
This does make you ponder other factors though. Will I then be a minority?lol

I find it to be ridiculous that you cannot go into a restaraunt without there being both an English side and a spanish side to a menu, it blows my mind. I am not racist by any means but we cannot let this go on anymore. If they cannot learn the language than they have no right being here. Every other immigrant that has come to this country has had to learn our language and now since we are being overrun by these illegals they expect my to learn spanish? I say to hell with that! It will be a cold day in hell before I learn Spanish just to make an illegal feel more at home.

haha Today was very funny when I tried to order lunch at our on-campus dining hall. Asked for a cheese-burger plain w/ fries. The person could barely speak any English and he forgot my friends and the cheese. I asked for fries then got them 2 minutes later. I then asked for cheese and he said I thought you wanted a plain cheeseburger. I laughed uncontrollably
