If we keep up the current trend the majority will be Hispanic in decent before to long. Not saying that is bad, or good, just a fact.

Because the Irish would kick their asses if they did. You do realize except for Northern Ireland the rest of Ireland is an independent nation right.

and the language will reflect that. It's inevitable. And it's not necessarily a bad thing until we start disregarding the democratic will of current Americans. Hell, we don't speak the same way our founding fathers did. But, creating a language dissonance like we see in French Quebec leads to the same kind of fractured society.

not to mention if you are in any kind of manufacturing industry and you sell to them, you gotta pay to have instructions or features and benefits of the product, and country of origin in both french and english for the canadians....

I of course agree, which is why I am for English as our official language.

As for Quebec, one of the funny things about that place is, in the rest of Canada all the signs are in both English in French, yet in Quebec they can be in only French. Hmmm hows that for fairness

Not that they all are, but some are, and they can be. Clear double standard at work.

Maybe we should ask all these people against English as our official language, how they plan to pay for making all our signs in like 100 languages

 

[Shogun]

MSDS in both eng and span, friggin w4s. not to mention Applications. Have you ever tried to train someone whose ONLY language is spanish? it's rediculous. Yet, ravi would have an employer prosecuted if every member of management were not fluent in spanish.

Sooner than you think. And I would have no problem voting for one.

Kieth Ellison is a US congressman.

Can you find a single equivalent in israel?

you are sooooooo, as politely as i can say it, ill-informed! sheesh!

Among the first tasks of a new Knesset is to assign members to the various standing committees and to elect a speaker, his or her deputies, and the chairmen of committees. The speaker is assisted by a presidium of several deputies chosen by the Knesset from the major parties. At a minimum, the Knesset is required to hold two sessions a year and to sit not fewer than eight months during the two sessions. The Knesset meets weekly to consider items on its agenda, but not on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in deference to its Muslim, Jewish, and Christian members. Agendas are set by the speaker to permit the questioning of ministers and the consideration of proposals from the government or motions from members. Time allocations to individual members and parties are made in advance by the speaker so as to preclude filibusters or cloture. Other than national emergencies, budgetary issues have usually been the most important items dealt with by the Knesset at any of its session.

How much documentation do you think is in Engrish IN MEXICO? I dont really care if we are a latino majority 100 years from now.. but marginalizing the english speakers just isnt going to float.



I have to say, Geno's steaks and his When Ordering Speak English sign makes my tail wag.

Great! Then you should have NO PROBLEM naming a MUSLIM with as much federal authority as a US Congressman.


Im fully aware how the Knesset works. However, some token consideration in lieu of an ACTUAL muslim voice doesn't impress me. Hell, even Iran has that laughable input from IT'S population of jews... the LARGEST OUTSIDE OF ISREAL, might I add.. so what.


I'll wait. feel free to start naming names anytime.

Wrong the largest population of Jews outside Israel is the US by far.

there are 1.5 million more Jews in the US than in Israel.

Iran does not even make the list of the top 12 Jewish populations in the world.

that's what the knesset members are silly....and they don't work fridays in honor of them and their holy day, friday! i don't need to name a single member of the knesset....the knesset has muslims, period...as the link i supplied said.... that's good enough to show your ignorance on the issue, no?

 

[Shogun]
