Ariz. governor signs immigration enforcement bill

[quote name='mykevermin']We call that "racism," sir.

I'm going to go drive to Wal-Mart in a bit for the hell of it. You should do the same.

Find someone whose English is perfect. Perfect grammar, perfect enunciation, perfect inflection. Find someone who doesn't use "good" when the proper word is "well," "ain't" when the words are "is/are not," "um..." or "fuckin'..." when they mean to pause for a thought, and "done" when they mean "finished or completed." Find the one in a million who does not use the phrase "go" as in
"so they go 'hey dude, what's up?'"
"and then I go 'fuckin' nuthin', dude.'"

or the one in a trillion who does not misuse the word "like" as in
"and then they're like 'well, what the fuck?'"
"and I'm like fuckin' 'YEAH? WHAT THE fuck, fuckER?'"

...when you find the person who uses English to your exacting standards, take a picture, come back here and let us know - because it means William Safire shops at Wal-Mart.

EDIT: Well, nevermind. Safire died this past September. How in the world did I overlook that? At any rate, my point still stands.[/QUOTE]

:lol: Typical. So it's 'racist' to want people who illegally entered our country to be sent back home? It's racist to want the members of that race still here to speak the language the majority of us speak(even if we butcher it)?

Gimme a break. Typical pansy ass attitude towards someone who isn't ok with this multicultural/multilingual bullshit.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']:lol: Typical. So it's 'racist'[/quote]

Let's pause for a moment and focus on these few words. You're challenging that I accuse you of racism. But you misidentified the target what I was calling racist. Favoring legal immigration is not racist. Being against illegal immigration is not racist. Well, it can plausibly not be. But that's not what I called racist.

It's racist to want the members of that race still here to speak the language the majority of us speak(even if we butcher it)?

Not inherently, no.

Gimme a break. Typical pansy ass attitude towards someone who isn't ok with this multicultural/multilingual bullshit.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. There you go, you finally got it. Yeah, dude, being anti-multicultural/anti-pluralist is one of the more obvious forms of racism.

Say it with me now: *hegemony*.
 
To me it seems reasonable that if you come to live in our country, you should learn our language. Not that you shouldn't speak Spanish or whatever at all but you should at least learn English.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Different accents are ok, but foreign language is not.[/QUOTE]

What about people that use pop instead of soda?

It's also funny that people demand for other people to learn a language but get all pissed when the government demands they do anything at all.

Also, do you think all of your ancestors learned English the minute they processed through Ellis Island? My great grand mother didn't learn English until she had been here for a decade. Was she some piece of garbage that had no value to society?
 
[quote name='Msut77']But are you from another country/grew up not speaking English?

Inquiring minds want to know.[/QUOTE]

Not that Im siding with anyone on this, but you know what he means. We all do not start off knowing the language of our ethnicity, we are taught a language by the people surrounding us.

Again Im not taking sides, but did society make the rest of the country learn your grandmothers first language before she learned english?

myke. Strell worked his ass of for a fucking reason. Take advantage of it.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']fuck no. I grew up learning English. I'm not going to learn some other language to cater to these motherfuckers. You wanna talk to me, know how to speak English so I can understand you. Otherwise they can piss off.

Maybe that's super mega ultra intolerant and not 'PC' but I just don't care. Everybody seems to cater to this unfortunately ever growing segment of our population with multilingual everything, so they won't HAVE to assimilate like my ancestors did.

The day that Spanish replaces English as the main language of this country is the day I move to the fuckin' UK or somewhere else where I don't have to be multicultural and cater to someone who doesn't speak MY language.

Now go ahead and say how I'm intolerant, racist or any other number of pansy ass patsy terms like the slobs in power who want to let this nation be overtaken.[/QUOTE]
I'm guessing you never have been nor do you ever intend to travel to a non English speaking country. However, if you ever do decide to do so, please keep this attitude, they'll love you for it.

This isn't Canada, we don't have official languages. It doesn't make sense for a nation of immigrants to force people to speak a specific language. That said, I find may Latin immigrants are quite eager to learn English, i can't even get some of them to speak Spanish to me, which means I'm going to forget everything I've learned in this Spanish class.

To me it's an issue of fear, people fear others they can't understand, they figure the guy behind them in line is insulting them in Spanish. So instead of learning their language, which is the harder option, they bitch that they should learn English instead, because that's easier.

Do you understand that english is the language that is most widely used in the US by a very wide margin? What makes more sense? 50 million people learning english, or 250 million people learning spanish?

It isn't an issue of what makes sense practically. If we wanted everyone in the US to speak English then long ago we should have limited immigration to those from Brittan.

It's fear pure and simple. You don't trust anyone not speaking English, but rather than learning something, you'd rather just bitch and moan about it.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']250 million people not getting pissed because they head someone speaking Spanish on the street?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. Getting pissed because somebody was speaking Spanish and you overheard it is pretty fucking stupid. Those particular people who were speaking Spanish might even know English, or at least enough English to function, but would probably still know Spanish better and hence might prefer to speak Spanish to someone else who understands Spanish. And why the hell not?

Sorry. But in the post 9/11 world, I fear and am suspicious of anyone not speaking a language I understand.

I've been out of school for quite some time now and I have no desire to learn another language. Yes. I admit that's lazy and 'ignorant', but I grew up speaking ENGLISH and therefore anyone not speaking it is suspicious to me. As far as going to a non English speaking country and expecting them to know English, I have no desire to go to anywhere outside of this country really.

:rofl:

As a bit of curosity, I wonder if our ancestors learned Native American languages when we first 'discovered' this country. I suppose it wasn't necessary to learn when we were able to steal the country from them.
 
The funny thing is that we Americans are behind the entire world when it comes to learning other languages. Hell, go to Japan. Almost everyone there can understand you if you talk slow and deliberately enough. European countries are no different - pretty much everyone there is bilingual, and many are trilingual (which is sort of hot, and I plan on making a profitable career directing certain videos of this nature). All the people in Mexico? They know FAR more English than you know Spanish.

For us to sit back on our toilets and armchair quarterback some kind of nationalistic bullshit just makes us look like fucking idiots. Children in other countries put us to shame in this regard because we have so many dumbasses beating their chest to the tune of their own language, which in itself has been butchered for decades.

'Course, its those same people who look condescendingly down on other countries simply because they aren't the U-S-A, U-S-A, and have no understanding at all why other nations might think we're all a bunch of rednecks dumbshits. Which means I gotta pay the price because of morons like IATCG.

If there was a virus that instantly translated all the text on someone's screen to Spanish, I think I'd know the perfect use for it. It would be extraordinarily easy to defeat - there'd be text on there saying "mecanografíe el número 999 para Ingles." I'd laugh for weeks.

For fuck's sake. I bet you cross the street when a scary Mexican is walking toward you. Who knows! He could be calling for fucking backup right there to shank your ass.

"El gringo tonto con los pantalones cortos!"
 
This ignore feature doesn't work when you bastards keep quoting him.

edit- He probably thinks that all the waiters at Mexican restaurants are planning to kill him.

Personally, I'm not one of the USA USA 'rednecks', since I really can't stand this frickin' nation, but that's only due to the corrupt system of greed errrrr "capitalism" here. It also doesn't help when we have pansies in office who won't do anything about the issues with our nation. Then again if they did they might be out of office and unable to make their millions.

The only 'Mexican' restaurant I go to is Taco Bell.

More awesome Mexican food for me that you miss out on by swearing the entire nation off as a group of terrorists.

[quote name='perdition(troy']Who cares?[/QUOTE]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another brilliant retort from you. Two whole words this time.

God damn. You guys can't even imagine how silly stupid narrow you guys are. Can't appreciate the world and the fantastic things other cultures can bring to the table. I can't imagine any of you knowing people whose names aren't things like Ted and Arnie, fully incapable of understanding anything outside your tight circle of dumbassery.

It's super sad the Internet exposes me to such shitbangers.
 
So, because I don't care that people in Europe speak whatever their native tongue is and English, I don't appreciate different cultures throughout the world? I feel really bad you're exposed to people like me on the internet.

You have just taken a word to describe a beautiful act of love and made it ugly. For shame!
 
If Americans can't be proud of themselves for being stupid, what's left? What could we possibly have at that point?

Don't bother saying some bullshit to me about how we have scientists and so forth, since next week you'll be talking about how they are elitist ******s and we shouldn't trust them for whatever conspiracy-riddled dumbshit reason.
 
Troy is the only person on this board who can not post, and then post, and still have accomplished the same thing either way.
 
How can it be a strawman if you've said functionally nothing to address? Your whole tactic revolves around you being an immobile shithead.

Try saying something that benefits from discussion. You know, if you can.
 
My half built house and 1 1/3 acre of property is in Pinal County. They keep sending me bills for taxes which I quickly deposit in the trash. I hope, at least, it's housing some friendly hard working illegal squatters.
 
too funny.

I had a couple classes in High School on French and German, wasn't too bad, but they swapped them both with Spanish now.

I think it's a shame that even in our schools that language classes are treated mainly like art class, vs other nations are teaching most kids english from a very early age.
 
Trilingual is the new bilingual.

IATCG is too ridiculous to even banter with anymore. He gave into fear along time ago. All we need now is Patrick Swayze (R.I.P.) to make his obligatory video appearance and this thread will be all wrapped up.
