English as Official Langauge

Jakey · 03-03-2005

An Iowa Representative by the name of Steve King is working to get a bill going in the US House of Representatives which would declare English as the US' official language. Personally I believe it is a great idea and wish it would have happened years ago. Whatcha ya'll think?

Id say thats a good idea... but since caucasions are become the minority, if we have to vote for it we will lose, haha.

That is not english, nor does this statement make any sence what so ever. Try using the US official language next time.

And "sence" is spelled "sense", you ignorant fool.

At least that was not on purpose.

English is not the official language of the US... nothing is at the moment. A few states have made the law but as a whole it's not done yet.

How exactly would this benefit anything? Just curious. And I don't care if caucasions are becoming the minority. I'm gunna be aiding in that by marrying an asian and having little asian babies!!

Here's one way it would affect the US:
If another language begins to overtake English as the main language of the US, our currency would eventually be converted to that. Weird thought.

What the hell does language have to do with our currency?? Just because we spend dollars doesn't mean that we have to speak english.

SuperSleeper · 03-03-2005

Why do you think it's written in english? Don't be an asshole--it's a plausible idea.

**JET** · 03-03-2005

If you want me to be an asshole, just keep it up.

It just boggled my mind how someone thought that if the national language changed to spanish that we would automatically start spending Peso's or something. It defies logic.

Does anyone really give a shit? By the time any of this has any relections on any of use we will all either be dead or have just lived through WW3. Now if you will excuse me, I'm gonna go have some mother fuck'n chips and dip followed by some mother fuck'n Mt'n Dew. How's that for some fuck'n Engrish. Seriously, do we need to argue about this shit as well? Aight!

In the end, it doesn't matter nor does it do anything for us as a country. Such wasted money should be used on more constructive things in our society.

**Halon** · 03-04-2005

I don't think he was reffering to changing currency to Peso's, but instead have different language written on dollars instead of english. This sure did turn into a pissin match.

IndiEP · 03-04-2005

I think its a waste of time/money. The end result would be non-stop law suits.

AJ · 03-04-2005

We have more important shit to deal with. Now that Martha Stewarts out we need to watch her like a hawk!

**Halon** · 03-04-2005

if they don't spend the money on this, it'll just go towards other retarded BS. Like brand new chairs for the military barracks because drunk Marines think it's funny to move em into the hallway in front of peoples doors.

Being that pretty much every country is learning english, and there is not one single president, senate person, or house of reps person that has english as a second language, i would think that the us dollar is FAR from ever becoming written in spanish or any other language for that matter. Whether or not the white people are becoming a minority doesnt mean shit because most of the people coming to this country cannot vote because they are here illegally. The reason im so pissed that a fucking IA rep would have the balls to try and make this a bill is while they are spending time and money on this they could be spending time and money on Education bills, Budget bills, things that actually mean something and affect the people. This is totally retarded and that rep should be stripped of his position.

And by the way, who the fuck cares if whiteys becoming a minority, eventually we will all be the same color by racial mixing and such, and it aint going to be white. If you were actually to think about this and look far into the future there will be at least one child down your family tree that will marry, and/or have a kid with someone of another race. There is nothing wrong with this at all, its just the way things are, we are all people, and if my son or daughter had a kid with someone of another race i would love it the same as i would a white baby.

yeah, i like hot asian chicks.

but on a side note, it is retarded to have a "national" language. it would help if americans took the time to learn other countries' languages. the world would have a better appreciation for us.

i hate dang hicks.
