If the majority had voted that only Spanish would be spoken would you have a problem with it?

That would never happen. Our government uses English.

lol just being realistic. We need to stop catering to the minorities just because they're different. Let's set some standards.

I know it is a hypothetical, but I have a strong feeling USMCAG would have an objection to it. I'll use a different example. USMCAG, what are your thoughts on the people of a state deciding that they will recognize gay marriage. I assume you applaud their efforts to decide for themselves and respect the sovereignty of that state?

If it happened in California, USMCAG would have a field day, but that is exactly what he's applauding.

It's not that difficult.

English is one of the most difficult languages to learn.

I think states should have the right to do what they feel necessary within certain boundaries. That's just me though, I want as little amount of government possible.

Negative, I'm against illegal immigrants voting.

If you're not a citizen, you're not eligible to vote.
Your fears are not based in reality.

But it's not the official language of the United States - there isn't one. Therefore, there's absolutely no requirement that official government functions be carried out in English. Don't avoid the question: would you have a problem if the majority had voted that only Spanish could be spoken?

It makes me sick when I go to the grocery store and the products also have Spanish written on them. Jmo

Does it make you sick that you have to use metric tools when working on your car too. When did that happen? Capitalism at work.

No, it's already happening. But how dare anyone suggest English only, it's only okay for Spanish only.

I do. That doesn't mean it should be okay to have Spanish only, and not English only.

Well, I respect the constitution, but that doesn't mean someone should make thread after thread bashing the country all the time .....
