Spanish will be the official language of the whole Americas by 2050.
when you will have among more than 1 billion people:
-600 million Spanish speakers
-250 million portuguese
-20 million french speakers
-and less than 200 million English speakers.
then the future paths are obvious.
the irony of calling a language called English as the American way is to oxymoron to leave it aside..

You never had and never will have "freedom". Creatures like you, irregardless of race, don't deserve it.
I have enough education to get your attention. Talking to someone like you is just a work out.

While the demographics imply that the hispanic population is projected to be between a third and a fourth of the overall population by 2050 it does not take into account that most will be second and third generation who are born in the United States and will be somewhat assimilated to U.S. culture to varying degrees.

What IS happening is that many of the current second or third generation hispanics have now graduated from college, are involved in national politics and have become corporate leaders. This is obviously based on the fact that they have picked up some English somewhere and decided to leverage that knowledge.

I see no problem with an increase in spanish being spoken. I only feel that it should not be subsidized by the government without also subsidizing every other immigrants native language. I for one see that cost as the road to ruin and no "unifying" benefit to it.

So, I guess I support English as the official government language with private business and institutions free to loose or make money as they see fit by including or excluding what language they wish to speak in.

But to ban any one language from being spoken in public is just unworkable and stupid to boot!

No, it should not be banned...The Spanish/Hispanic community should merely learn to speak English just as every other non-English nationality has that has
immigrated/moved here to America.

Yes! They'll never be able to realize their full potential if they continue to purposefully limit themselves by alienating themselves from the culture which they which to integrate with, but then, that is the case in any number of other scenarios that continue to plague our cultural evolvement.

Your post proves a point I had earlier. Places like Florida have a large hispanic population. Looking out how conditions in that state could predict how things could be nationally. Many communities are not preparted for such a change.

PS-

This post just infuriates those who just want to see America for the current majority. Some people can't stand the fact that someone else can come here, advance so quickly, and 'take' their positions of power.

Someone has already addressed that as a minority I am to be controlled, or under someone else's feet. It makes them feel superior to think someone is beneath them. The reality that their lose of a percieved power is going to be shaken pretty soon.

This is something out of anyone's control. Many will either have to adapt to the change that's coming or role over in their graves.

You are hilariously clueless. I love it. Nothing's going to change. The way the world works is obviously way beyond your comprehension.
There you go making it a race thing again. That's the card you conveniently reach for often don't you. Whether you are green or orange, you would still be the creature with the severe lack of comprehension and reactionary nature.
As I have said before, it's not a race thing.
Look at Oprah and her influence.
Thanks for demonstrating your limited beliefs.

So according to your hilarious attempts at logic, Spanish speaking should not be banned because it's the wave of the future yet, you haven't taken the necessary steps to learn the language.

Your passive aggressive non sense about "The reality that their lose of a percieved power is going to be shaken pretty soon." is as as amusing as your passive aggressive reactionary retorts.
Who exactly are "they"?

You can think whatever you want, you will always be this easy to manipulate and always will.

Mad Max my friend, you truely live up to your name. You manage to do what most don't. Make me laugh real hard in my comfortable chair. My posts have been reactive. A normal defence. Your post are proactive for a concept that is pointless. You can no more ban Spanish in any capacity than German or French.

You pursued an idiodic point. I'm just commenting on it. In between I laugh at your other ones.

But nevertheless, I bow to your self proclaimed intelligence and superiority. That is usually what supremists want right?

What happened to the grade A education you probably go around boasting about? If there is a comprehension problem to anything I am saying, you seem to be the only one with it. ESL people can get with what I am saying.

You are not suggesting that I am abusing you, are you? The passive agressiveness you speak of is called finesse. I like to put that on every now and then. For you it will be my honor.

You're damn right it should be banned here, this isn't Spain or Mexico, if you want to speak Espanol go back to your own country. If you live in the US you should learn to speak English. Unfortunately, since Obama the Marxist was re-elected, beaners can come and go as they please now. Good luck with your jobs at the chicken farms btw.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Libra

You're in an idealistic mood today and only want to see the best in other people. This is typical Libran behaviour, because you aren't good at facing up to harsh reality at the best of times. Today, you're ready to believe that someone is a candidate for sainthood or that they're the best thing that's ever happened to you, regardless of whether it's true or not.
