I am all for providing assistance. But, what is happening in this country is enabling, and handing non-English speakers a crutch.

I think it would be nice if everyone in the country learned english.
Or at least tried. Example: If you are older than 3 years old and you pronounce "loved" as "luvdid" or "hurt" as "hertid" You should go back to where ever you came from. If the second word of most sentences is "be" as in "He be over there" or "She be buying beer" You should go back to where ever you came from. If the end of every sentence is "and shit" ("I was watching this show...and shit", " I'm going to solve this equation...and shit" "He be hatin on a brother...and shit") You should go back to where ever you came from. I'd rather listen to a Mexican (or the typical illegal I know...Irishmen) speak in broken english then jerk offs who mangle their own language. |

Besides, I very much doubt that you speak the King's English at all times or are you claiming that you NEVER use slang in your speech, hmmmm? I admit that my brethren tend to mangle the language but speaking as someone who has lived in L.A. during the whole surfer dude/valley girl phase and has visited your precious New York City... well let's just say that everyone is guilty to some extent. |

There's a big difference between immigrants (illegals and legals) not learning to speak English after being in the US for a period of time and being able to speak English upon arrival at the USA.
Most of the European immigrants that came over back in the days didn't speekee no ingles either. How many of them never bothered to learn to speekee ingles after being here most of their lives? How the fuck is grandma at 60 going to learn a new language? Kids that go to school ended up speaking English anyway...at least to a certain degree since that most of the American native borns aren't exactly masters of the language themselves.

Oh no...poor southerner. We're a diverse population up here where stupidity knows no race. As I typed that post, I had those dirty Puerto Ricans in mind (that's right...useless dirty Puerto Ricans) because that's who I walked behind for a block during lunch, two Puerto Ricans (the girl hadn't hit 25yrs old yet because the ass still fit through the subway turnstile). It was a steady stream of beezanshit and the "ididitids". However, the guido's are also well known for their "beezanshit" Suburban white kids on Long Island are the ultimate ass-crackery because they try EXTRA hard to use "beezanshit" as they drive in their daddy co-signed rides. However they are not as funny as the chinese kids stepping out of Bronx Science high school or whatever school they go letting the beezanshit fly. Yes, just as they were the originators of rock and roll...the blacks are the originators of "beezanshit" but dear friend, I did not have them in mind when I brought up beezanshit and the ididitids. Now I feel obligated to recognize that contribution. In honor of beezanshit and the ididitids, I hereby.... never mind. lost my train of thought. |
