I sure hope you are right.
You either? Wow, we have something in common.
Lol...what a simpleton.
That made no sense.
I think it's funny you don't like the flags...some guy driving down the street, blasting his music on his way to work...and you on the corner steemed. I bet it burns you up...hah, hah, hah!
Nope, but it's notable.
And to clarify, the younger culture that was born here will assimilate and learn English...if they are still proud of their heritage...why would you care?! Hah, hah, hah!!!
Does anyone else find you as hilarious as you find yourself?
Stu, you're so cool!
Thank you.
I actually listened to that song in the car today.
"I'm passing clots the size of basketballs"
"Oh you are hungry are you - how bout bloody mary?"
"Stu"...hmm...I wonder what that is short for?
English is the language of business worldwide.
Get over it.
That's the way it is.
People who speak another language and learn English have an advantage.
People who speak English and learn another language... not so much.
Except if they are in import/export or other international business. Which I assume you are.
But as another poster pointed out... all speaking the same language unites us.
Being bilingual is great. But if you're going to live in the USA - one of them should be English.
I think we all agree learning English should be a prerequisite for people...
That stated, I think people are overreacting a bit to first generation immigrants inability/lack of desire to learn English as a sign that the particular culture will never assimilate...that view ignores reality and what has happened with every other culture that has come here.
Why do you wonder?
Does "pid" go on the other end of it?
Is that the best you could come up with?
I note you failed to answer the question...interesting.
The answer is no. "pid" does not go at the end of it.
I see. For the record then, what about "pidmotherfecker?"
I find the signs in miami which have "se habla ingles" to be more offensive.
Particularly in a state which has a constitutional amendment making English officially the language of the state.
No.
Why is that offensive? They are welcoming English speakers, are they not?
An so we are clear, what about "pidbastard?"
Just go back to "racist" and I'll pretend to care. It will save you the trouble of coming up with something clever.
