It is shame to go in Florida, Texas, Arizona and California and see signs in Spanish. What a stupidity. Why we allow this in first place.
The lower American states were former mexican soil a century ago. You should check up history. Not to pick a fight here, just pointing out some facts.Quote:

We are all people of the world ..
We should respect everyone and every living creature on this given green earth. I don't care what race ..colour .religion ..or whether one even has one or not ...
Respect , love and kindness is the key ..... Except for one exception and that is kick the fighting in house politicians out of politics and bring Granny in to run the country ....

Hey Goldeneye, I'm right behind you. Best idea anyone has had in a hundred years. No, make that 200. One question though. Will Granny get that fat pension they voted themselves some time back because Social Security wasn't good enough for them? LOL

goldeneye,
if more people realised that politicians and the media gain from division and hate, then we would have a better world.
unfortunately, politicians are funded by those who NEED hate and division so these organisations can make a decent profit.
fact of the matter is, if you read somewhere that so and so people are offended by christmas, piggy bank, etc
the decent thing to do would be to approach them ASK them if they really feel offended. 9.999 times of out 10, they will think u are crazy for even suggesting the notion that people get offended by such terms.
reality is that this is just hyped up stuff to create fear. fear leads to hatred. hatred leads to war. war leads to profit (defense organisations) and grants security to political parties.
who then brainwash individuals that there are ideologies who are against freedom so teh right thing to do is to draft bills and legislations that take away your freedom before these ideologies do. - in the interest of "national security".
these are the very things that the founding fathers did not want when tehy drafted teh US constitution.
unfortunately, if you read the legislations relatingto terrorism, national security,etc you will find that the founding fathers would be classified as "home grown" terrorists. they would be transferred to guantanamo bay in a second. This is in the land of the free (home of the slaves?)
I must say that one who migrates, should be duty bound to learn the language and customs. often, divisions and misunderstandings comes lack of communication ie, language difficulties in addition to comments from our dear leaders and the truthful media (which by the way is classified as "entertainment industry").
my in laws have difficulty mixing with people of their own religion (different races though) bcos they don't speak english well. they hang around their own crowd and wonder why they can't integrate with the general public.
I agree about Christmas and the other comments on our immigrants. Most of them are happy to learn our language etc. but there is this MINORITY that believe they have the right to enforce their own beliefs, culture, etc on everyone else.
I have no problem with our immigrants keeping their own culture as long as it does not contravene our LAW and if they don't try to take away my right to conduct myself according to my culture and beliefs and expect me to conform to their ways and beliefs.
I believe if they don't like what we do at any time of the year they are MORE than welcome to leave, go home, go to another country with a similar culture to their own, just DON'T expect me to change my beliefs, culture etc. to suit them.
There are even some here that believe they can break the law in this country if they want, and not be prosecuted because their culture is different to ours. (i.e. - Teach their sons that western (australian) girls/women are fair game.
Something has to be done! Government and the people HAVE to stand up and say enough is enough. If you come here and wish to enjoy our country find a way to assimulate without losing your own culture if you wish but don't expect others to conform to yours. And most importantly RESPECT our LAWS and don't seek to deliberatley break them because you take a different view.
As this is an English speaking country, then English SHOULD be the MAIN language on all our signs, (street signs etc.) with another language in SMALLER writing under the English if required. (i.e. in Chinatown etc)
This is just some of the things I see that our weak, cowtowering politicians have to do to find a backbone and do something before we lose what little control we have left in this country.
And I would like to see a politician with enough backbone to tell the UN Control freaks to take a hike. This is our country, we will run it to suit OUR citizens NOT how you think we should and NOT give you control to tell us WHAT land we can develop or not

Sorry, just my little pet hate - OUTSIDE Control (laws and regulations) without the approval or permission of the people.
