hoser, you drive a registered car with a license that is soon to be "real IDed". Then cops in plain cloths can walk by you and (if you have your license on you) know who you are immediately.
you post on the internet and can easily be tracked.
you probably have a cellphone and can be tracked.
if you commit a felony, you shouldn't be able to own a gun (or vote)
if you are a mental patient, you shouldn't be able to own a gun.

registering a gun to keep legal guns out of the wrong hands seems pretty awesome to me. Let them buy a gun illegally, and then go away for longer.

I don't know why that post came out like that. Weird.

You do realize though, that learning a foreign language has been a requirement at most high schools and colleges for decades though right? This is nothing new. Not necessarily spanish, but some foreign language. Most schools offer a choice between spanish and french.

Please post sources for all your other claims. I would like to read them.

forcing us to learn their languange is infringing on our freedom and way of life.
it should be like every other country, you learn their language, or you do not live there
ZERO TOLERANCE



I am sorry to tell you bud but that is not the way it is in other countries. In most other industrialized countries people are forced to learn more than their native language otherwise they won't graduate high school. The same that it is here for kids learning spanish. And the reason it's not infringing on our freedoms, or ways of life is because our government doesn't really force anyone to learn anything, they have regulations on what classes people need to complete before they graduate highschool, and part of that is foreign language. So you will never be forced to learn anything, unless your going back to school. And personally, i like that. I think that while children from MOST other countries are bi-lingual, it would be smart to make sure ours can keep up. We might not be the capitolist wetdream that we are now forever, some day our children might need to travel to handle business/get away from some situation here, and when that happens wouln't you have their education be as comprehensive as that of other countries? And the only real differnce between us and those countries is that their are some (a very select few) who DO require even adults to learn the main language, or they will kick them out. Which if you ask me, is infringing on their rights.

you already can't vote while on probation, etc... but I guess my statement against felony. White collar things I don't think we have to worry about, but if someone goes to jail for rape/murder/kidnapping/grand theft, they probably wouldn't be the sort of person you want legally owning a gun.

and i am not trying to pick a fight buddy, but i have been doing some research since i read your post this morning, and i haven't found a single country where there is "Zero Tollerance" policy for learning their native language. I Think because that would be a serious infringement of rights... and again, i am sorry that i seem controversial, i just think that your mis-informed.

as far as foreign language being required.....
really?????
i don't know man, maybe Attleboro High is a black sheep of sorts, because i was never forced into any foreign language class.

as far as sources, i listen to NPR alot, and i get alot of news from BBC.... outside, unbiased views are a beautiful thing.

well my high school/all the dudes in my office had to take foreign language, my sisters have had too, and all my friends had too. At least two years of it.

And i am not saying that your uninformed in general, just in that most other countries have a zero tolerance policy. I mean, say Mexico does have such a law, i know people living in Mexico (my wife's relatives) and they speak Italian/Portuguese. Which the latter is similar to Spanish, but by no means the same language. And they have been there for years. So while maybe a law like that (as draconian as it would be) may be in place, they don't enforce it. And do we really want to model any of our country after Mexico? I don't think they are really the cultural mecca that we are, or that Germany, or Europe are.

And are you saying that you would like all grown adults here to be forced to speak fluently? Because if immigrants want to become citizens there is a naturalization process in place that requires a test about our history/laws, and classes. (in English) I know that naturalization is circumvented frequently by people who are just illegal and don't try to become a citizen, but no law about English will change that at all. (short of random roadblocks near our borders to make sure they can speak english........ obviously i am kidding about that.)

Anyways, my main points are this, everyone i know was forced to take at least two years of foreign language going to school, and i believe for good reason, and the worlds cultures continue to mix, there is nothing anyone can do about it, and the children of this country need to be able to keep up. That NECESSITATES a bi-lingual language set. (If not TRI-Lingual). It's education, and it's important. And the rest of the world (like i was saying, at least all the industrialized countries) are all forced (for graduation that is) to learn two if not three languages. And it has helped the children on those countries immensely.

And as far as forcing adults here to learn english when they immigrate here.. like i said, during naturalization there are requirements in place that require learning at least the basics of our language, and if your saying that those standards need to be raised, then i could see that. But any kind of standardized testing for any new immigrants may be a little much.

anyone who can pass a test in english obviously has a good enough grasp.

i am talking about american born assholes who refuse to learn english.
i am talking about illegals who should not be allowed to stay in the first place.

see the big loophole is some pregnant twat jumpes a fence or rides a floating door to get here, shits out a little brat, cries "don't sepreate our family" and the whole non-english speaking bunch of fuckers finds a way to stay.

English is the primary language, and it should stay that way, trying to force people who were born here to "adapt to bi-lingualism" or "embrace linguistic diversity" is nothing but P.C. crybaby liberal nonsense.

like i was saying, no one besides kids who want to graduate would be forced into anything, and that has been the case in schools here for 30 or more years. And again, what is the problem with higher education? No one is gonna force you to learn anything, they are gonna make sure our children are more prepared for a world that no matter how bad they want it to be all english all the time, it will not be that way in this country ( or any other) ever again in any other country. Cultures are just too mixed for that, so yes, in my opinion it is REALLY important for children to be bi-lingual, and i think it would be EVEN if we did have such a draconian law as "ALL ENGLISH OR GET OUT", because it would make them better prepared for the world. Just like math classes, geography classes, or any other education. It's important.

What part of the higher education bothers you?


And did anyone else reading this NOT have a minimum foreign language requirement for graduation?

orgy- i guess what confuses me about what your saying is this: Why does it bother you that our children our required to learn a second language? It will be an invaluable skill throughout the rest of their lives that will most likely enable them to go to more places, do more things, and make more money. If it was a requirement to learn all about mexican culture for instance, or traditions, that would bother me, because it will not benefit them at all, and is of no use unless they just want to know it. But language is just a skill set that's importance is matched by very few other things.

i'm not bullshittin guys, swear to god, i do not know anyone (of all the people i hang with that went to school in Attleboro, Norton, or North Attleboro) that was forced into foreign language classes.

and it's not higher education, it's making diversity seem more important than it is, and making it easier for people from other countries to get around without learning english.

the thought of the entire country being bi-lingual by the time i'm an old fuck makes me pray for an early death.

Because sadly buddy, that's not gonna change, and if you wanna ever leave the country, it's gonna be a million times worse. So how can you say you would want an early death if our country tried to make all it's children bi-lingual? That's like saying that forcing our children calculas in school is bad because it's not a normal part of their life, and they don't need it. When in fact it would help them

You are fucking paranoid. Many other countries DO force their kids to learn english. At least the ones that care about getting ahead in business do.

kids learning calculus effects us in a positive way.
kids learning spanish makes it easier for people who refuse to learn english
it is a disadvantage.

why pay bi-linguals more?.....let's save the country money by not hiring people who refuse to learn english, and not offering incentives for bilingualism....
everyone.....illegals included......will be forced to learn english, and never again, will someone who was born in this country have to be annoyed by some cocksmoker who looks at you like you're an ass for not knowing their language!

looking at learning spanish as a disadvantage is crazy. It making other it easier for other people to not learn english MAY be a by product of it, but it will not change how many non english speakers learn english. But it WILL

Let them get paid more because many jobs have to deal with non english speakers, whether you think it's right or not, it's not going to change.

Because they can travel around the world to other countries, and see different things, and understande what the hell is going on. Even get a job in those countries and move their if they want to.

Your answer that learning spanish is a DISADVANTAGE is a very VERY narrow minded view that looks at the rest of the world as not being important, and your earlier argument was that we SHOULD be like the rest of the world?! Well the rest of the world MAKES them learn more than one language. Because it's an OBVIOS advantage in business, and travel. If you really don't get that, i am shocked, and dissapointed because i expected more of you. Sorry to put it that way, but this last comment about it being a disadvantage is outrageous. Stupid even.

Your answer that learning spanish is a DISADVANTAGE is a very VERY narrow minded view that looks at the rest of the world as not being important, and your earlier argument was that we SHOULD be like the rest of the world?! Well the rest of the world MAKES them learn more than one language. Because it's an OBVIOS advantage in business, and travel. If you really don't get that, i am shocked, and dissapointed because i expected more of you. Sorry to put it that way, but this last comment about it being a disadvantage is outrageous. Stupid even.



look, we can argue until our heads fall off....but the simple matter is, i completely disagree.
and "linguistic diversity" is a nice way of saying sissy liberal pandering.

it's not narrow minded of me to expect that when i do business with someone in America that they speak english.

sorry you find me to be such an ignorant dick.

English wasn't the language of the land until Europeans showed up. Immigrants came right behind them speaking German, Italian, French and Spanish, we've been a melting pot since we "discovered" America. Get the fuck over it. You've got no right discriminating against immigrants unless you're 100% pure blooded Native American.

Voting YES to make English the national language would accomplish NOTHING. It was a stupid SHOW ME YOUR PATRIOTIC BALLS vote like the flag burning one. Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

Just because you're not smart enough to pass a couple of Spanish or French classes in college and high school doesn't mean it should be banned for everyone else.

I never use algebra either, but you have to learn that too. It's called a well-rounded education...you know, the thing us "idiots" have.

we only have records for people who were born in mass!!!!!!!



I beleive you, there's shitbags in every population. That's the minority though.



i'm just saying that big problems start small. then they snowball and get bigger

i fear this will be one of those problems, especially with a liberal minded president.

i hope i am wrong

It's pretty easy to take your "business" elsewhere. But I guess it's even easier to whine about it.

oh for fucks sake dude.
it has nothing to do with "not being smart enough"
i didn't take spanish class because in my high school it was NOT required, and i found it to be a big waste of time.
so shove your assumptions up your ass.

yeah you are right, immigrants did start this country.
but that was before, when the country was flourishing

now we are overpopulated, and in an economic crisis!

yeah, we did fuck the indians over, but if we let the course continue (giving more and more leinience to illegals, and allowing people to live in this country without learning english) we will be the indians, and they will be the pilgrims.

the reason english is our primary language is that people who built america up to what it is now (ya know, those assholes who wrote the constitution and the bill of rights) decided that was one they could all embrace.

cut the smarmy liberal shit pam

Yeah you're right. White people are the persecuted, we're in danger of being overthrown by those inferior foreigners.

Anyone got the ratio of non-white house, senate and cabinet members to the white ones handy?

Ok.... how can you say talk about things infringing on our "libertys"? PLEASE realize that the freedom of "speech, religion, etc".. in the constitution does not say anywhere "AS LONG AS YOUR DOING IT IN ENGLISH". Matter of fact, saying that is unconstitutional. Fact. Even saying that because people are here they should speak english is unconstitutional. Think about it. How do you expect to have the freedoms to do whatever you want, and to fight for those freedoms, and then say that someone else who is here should not be allowed to not know english. Just because the constitution was written in english? Of course not, there is no good reason. Just because it has been spoken here for years by the majority? Sorry, but that's one of the principles this country was founded on, that you are allowed to pursue life liberty and happiness how ever you like, given that your aren't breaking laws while your doing it. NOT as long as your speaking english while your doing it.

you are unbefuckinglievable.

no....speak whatever language you want.
but when you go somewhere to conduct business, in america, in an establishment that is not run by people who speak the same language as you, you should know english, and not shoot me attitude because i don't know your language.
