I don't really care what other countries do. None of them are governed by our constitution.Only read the first 40 replies before posting so apologies if it's already been pointed out.
What the Newt actually said was 'make English the official language of government'.
I take that to mean that you're applying to any government entity you need to know English.
Be it your driver's license, social security card, passport, or whatever.
If you come to this country legally and go through the citizenship process properly this should pose no problem for you.
If it does, tough shit, go back.
And stop with the England English bullshit. You're nit-picking and look stupid with your petty shit.
So if you pay your taxes and call 911 you get hung up on because you don't speak English?
So if you visit another country and call for help, you expect them to speak English for you?
Gingrich is wrong...English should not be our official language..the USA is not England.
That's a matter of opinion. After all, America WAS a penal colony of England.
I think you're thinking of Australia.
Jan tris pou ou.It frosts my juevos to go into the voting booth and find an option to go through my ballot in English or Spanish!!!!!
Still doesn't justify the personal crap. Calling bullshit on what you perceive as bullshit is a right of yours that I will defend 'till I'm euthanized, but there's never a call for phrases like "dummy" and "put the peyote pipe and the babies down". That's just mean.
I didn't know that I was here to change your pampers, or be your play date. By the way, it was intended to be mean. I'm not in the business of pacifying folks on this site. As it stands everyone at some point or another is at each others throat. I started out trying to be nice and was given the bums rush. I learned quickly where you folks hail from theoretically. Everyone believes in free speech, until you piss them off. Well now I cut to the chase. If I perceive stupid, I call stupid. This site is designed merely to inspire pissing contests anyway. Do you REALLY think you matter to the other folks that come here? I know I don't. Nor do they, to me. So I don't really think I need your opinion, or code of ethics on what's mean or not. Let miss fao chipowah defend herself.
And if somebody is so obviously nasty that it's apparent that they desperately need to get laid, but that's not an option, I take it it's okay to go ahead and point that out, too. Right?

Please answer my previous question first.I don't really care what other countries do. None of them are governed by our constitution.So if you visit another country and call for help, you expect them to speak English for you?
How many languages do you think the people at 911 should have to speak?

Don't worry it is apparent that Oracle is jealous...at 40 I still have a 25 year old fiancee...and wear a size 5 in clothing and can get away with a bikini and there are no babies..my baby is 15 and the oldest is 21 so I raised my babies and am not insecure...I am betting he is though since he finds the need to attack someone else and wail about their 'looks' ..I have to ask this to oracle..jealous much?

Where are you getting this information that it was decided long ago that English is our official language?
Nothing wrong with this.
Near as I can tell the first 150 or so years of our country's history immigrants came to this country from non english speaking countries and learned the language.
actually they didn't learn the language. The first 150 years or so there were entire colonies of non english speakers that spoke things like German, Gailic, Polish, Italian, Spanish, etc...in Texas in the first 150 years of the US they spoke Spanish and also in the entire southwest for that matter.

For one, it would help weed out naturalized citizens versus illegals. Also If part of the immigration process was to learn to speak english, then you wouldn't have as many language barrier problems, cause it's not just mexicans that game the system by saying me no understand. Third, we could convey the word hideous, in a way that helps you take down that picture.
Wow, that really makes no sense.
How's that?

A 911 operator does not have to speak every language. But they should have access to people who do.
The person making that call may be calling to save YOUR life againshiela. Would you like 911 to hang up on them?

I'm guessing that, either you ARE hispanic, or you have never had an encounter with one that barely speaks English. If part of the immigration process was learning English, adjusting would be easier, no? If all immigrants were required to learn English, you'd know who wasn't here legally for the most part, would you not? As far as the person I was responding to initially...hideous speaks for itself...using my free speech and all. If it still makes no sense, then you are clearly a poster child for why we should act now! Of course you'll argue to be contrary. Folks that post like you, usually do.

All I'm saying is that you'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar, giving instant value to your opinion, making it that much more likely that you're not wasting your time here.
And yes, I do think my opinion matters. I think yours matters too.
As far as the rest goes, calling stupid is as stupid does is kind of what this board is all about and it's certainly what keeps MY dear readers coming back for more. But a quick wit is all I have - I'm not lucky like Ravi to have both a quick wit and a smokin' bod.
They didn't have to decide nor did they decide. Every one of them spoke English.Please answer my previous question first.How many languages do you think the people at 911 should have to speak?
Where are you getting this information that it was decided long ago that English is our official language?
History, read a book.
The first constitution congress had to decide what language we would use. They chose English.
So how many languages do you think the people working at 911 should have to speak?
Wow, that really makes no sense.

You are really, really bad at guessing, and - again - demonstrating an ability to speak English is part of the (legal) immigration process.
Gingrich got applause at the debate for saying English should be our official language. Agree or disagree?
no the word faux pas is french, the word patio is Spanish, sauna is a Finnish word, paradise is Persian and so on and so on I could go on all day telling you words we use daily that are NOT english that we use every day.
No they aren't.]
