English should be the primary language of the US.

aREALgod · September 05, 2015, 08:51:35 PM

When in the FUCK are we gonna make English the primary language of the US? I'm sick of going through areas and hearing a bunch of poor spic fucks speaking Spanish but not understanding a LICK of English. It's pathetic, really, especially in a country where the vast majority have English as their primary language. If you can't even speak the language with a basic understanding, you should honestly be deported out. We shouldn't tolerate incompetence.

eggsalad · September 05, 2015, 09:26:53 PM

youre calling people incompetent but you cant even understand something as basic as spanish fucking lol

What is making English the official language going to accomplish? No really? Anyone can still speak whatever language they feel like.

Pippen · September 05, 2015, 09:48:49 PM

He is telling the truth, this is an issue.

Where almost everything in the US is english, it should be the primary language. You should have a basic understanding of english to be here.

Uh-oh, I kinda agree with Midget here.

I mean, I wouldn't move to a foreign country unless I knew the bare basics of their language... That's just common courtesy. What right do I have to impose my culture and my language onto another country?...

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people coming in to have a grasp of English.

CK97 · September 05, 2015, 10:11:08 PM

I actually agree.

People thinking that immigrants should be ashamed of themselves and that its disrespectful not to speak english when America was founded by immigrants of many languages.

America was also founded by slave owners.

Fuck, how dare we criticise the concept of slavery, just because the people who founded America were slave owners.

What gives you the impression they couldn't speak English and simply weren't conversing with their friends?

German used to be a pretty common sound here. Now everyone but the Amish speak English.

One common language is essential for the well being of any nation or community, not only for a universal and understood means of communication, but as a unifying symbol as well.

How would you even measure if someone doesn't speak the language well enough? Seems like a waste of resources and money to punish someone for something inconsequential.

I consider the decimation of the German American subculture to be among the greatest cultural losses in American history.

Fucking Brits fed us lies in WWI. We joined the wrong side.

Literally how is it inconsequential? It's kinda a big deal if you live in a country but can't speak the native language and the natives can't understand a fucking word you're saying. Plus it's a pain in the ass to get an interpretor of you need one in your line of work, and it's just blatantly disrespectful to the people of the country you're in

English is already the primary language of America. Not the federally official language, but it's tacitly the same.

Nobody cares what language you speak within your household or amongst your peers, but when you go to a grocery store and start speaking to the clerk in Korean, that's going to piss people off. (Yes, I've actually had that happen before.) I honestly believe that we should make all immigrants/tourists take a basic language test before letting them come here. Same goes for every other country. I would never go to Germany if I didn't at least have a basic understanding of German. Going to a country and not speaking the native language is not only disrespectful to it's people, but also disrespectful to its history and culture.

That's why you conquer them instead and impose your culture and language over them

Naru · September 09, 2015, 04:15:41 PM

when i expect to work, i expect not having to bend over and be fucked in the ass to speak the native language of some other fucktard who never bothered learning english. i learned enough spanish to get by and communicate on a basic level, if i wanted to speak spanish, i would go to mexico. its hard enough having immigrant retards bring their kids and take welfare here, but being forced to speak a language they dont wanna speak pisses me off.

Well it's in all levels of education, so is mandatory for a GED. Turns out learning a language is hard when you're an adult working a crappy job and probably raising a family.

Unless those documents are written in plain English (as in, not legalese), that seems highly discriminatory.
