What is it to be "American" these days?

[KillerPollo]

I learned English In Mexico. and I use it here in the US. What do you think this (what I just posted) is in?

[KillerPollo]

You aren't really American unless you assimilate and learn English. 

Why?

He's saying that to piss me off. It won't work!

I'm too busy dancing to this to get pissed.

The national language should be English for business/school those sort of purposes. But in homes and on the streets it can be anything you want.

Yes I agree. But on former mexican Land, it should be bilingual.

You came here, you learn our language, bitch.

um... NO!!! Because the southwest once belonged to another country with a totally differnt culture and language, and even measurement system. Look at Quebec in Canada, and see that it is fairly effective. You can't do a border-intelligent language barrier.

You can keep the metric system out of the southwest (meaning you will not see a SINGLE post in Km's or Liters until you get to Mexico itself), but you can do nothing about the Spanish presence in there.

I might as well post this in Spanish. Oh yeahh... I'm being thoughtful, because you actually understood what you just read. WHY? cause it's in English. yeeeah, that's why! so why are you blatantly telling me to learn? I learned it anyways before I came here (because, like in Germany, it's MANDATORY in Mexico), so there was no way an ignorant yank (obvoiuusly NOT you, MaC, not an ad hominem) could have told me to learn while treading on "American" soil.

Just try and get the southwest back.  Take your sword, convert all the states back to Mexican jurisdiction.  I dare you.  Oh, and there are still so many of us decent white folk who will never give up white culture to go Mexican or God-forbid join than Marxist measuring system.

White is just a colour, not a culture. If you mean more the Anglo-Saxon culture, or race, then it would have made more sense. Well, Not just whites wouldn't like that. I don't think Blacks living in Compton, CA would like to become part of Mexico anyways either.

You really think I'd try to get the southwest back by force? ARE YOU INSANE? Maybe through diplomacy, but NEVER a war.

btw, We'll not make you use metric... Just SI units

[KillerPollo]

  If nobody's gonna listen to you when you start a war, what the hell makes you think they'll listen to diplomacy? 

Oh, Mr. Richardson, Mrs. Napolitano, could you please give your states back to Mexico?  We'd like it if you gave them back.

What do you mean nobody is going to listen to me if I start a war? Look. Mexico is not a nation of war, and will never be. We are peaceful people. We're North America's switzerland.

Of course you have a point. The "southwest" has belonged far longer to the US than it has to Mexico. And of course, the territories enclosed in that mass of land are now "americanized" beyond repair (except maybe some parts of LA). Most cities you see today in that area were built long after the War with Mexico. which explains the non-spanish names of most cities there(i.e. Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Roswell, etc, etc).

By now I'd think New Mexico is more closely related to let's say Massachussettes than let's say Chihuahua, or Nuevo Leon.

All my point was, that I'm not really dead serious about getting that land back, All I'm saying is that it WOULD be nice if they did. Personally. Mexico is WAY better off today than back then. Hey, At least we're not running out of space like those razzy Japaneseys, nor are there any US military presence in Mexico, like there is in Japan, or any NATO Nation. That's why Mexico didn't join NATO. Hey. At least the US didn't change our constitution for us, or limit our military. The ones that DID occupy us and installed an Austrian Emperor were the FRENCH! who I also dislike quite a bit.

I am also not serious about attemting to form an "Anschluss" with Central America. WHY? because it'd bring MORE problems to MY country. Not to mention some nations like Salvador or Nicaragua are, let's say more unstable. If we were to Annex those territories (Central America) We'd problaly fall into trouble, like terror attacks in Monterrey or Mexico, DF. by guatemalan, or salvadorian rebels.

In other words, I think Mexico is OK the way it is today, and will probably remain the same for years to come.
Besides, when the US took our land away, it was sparsely populated, with exception of maybe LA or San Antonio.

Do you guys have good cheese or chocolate?

 
That's not what I meant. I meant when it came to Neutrality.

TAINT YOUR CULTURE?? I had a hard time not laughing at this comment. This is not the late 19th century anymore. Assimilation era is over! GET OVER IT! Besides, without our people, your entire economy would collapse. Watch "A Day Without a Mexican", a reality-based comedy, and you might learn something where most of "America's" backbone comes from. YES! YOU take our people for granted, and most even blatantly insult them. Go to Michigan and tell that to the good-for-nothing canadians and their fake bacon. Besides, you're acting as if the southwest had always belonged to you. If that's the case, you might as well rename every city that has a Spanish name on it. How the hell can we "ruin"someone's culture by speaking another language AMONG MY OWN FELLOW COUNTRYMEN? Do I ruin the Japanese culture by going to Japan and speaking English or Spanish or Russian? NO. In fact, By speaking another language, You immediately give people (open-minded ones) that foreigners are attracted to the country they are visiting. If you force them to assimilate, the targets would immediately dislike you, and maybe even leave, making one less person to make money for the economy.

Then For God's sake close your ocean entrances, and take care of those Chinese Immigrants who get to the US by boat, and than we'll talk.
I'm not even going to mention the beavers living right over the US's head.

Which we have many times. I don't know how the Europeans look more highly upon us than OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBOR!  Also. Nowadays, There's a LOT more European industry and tourism in Mexico than American. That's why you can find Renaults, Atos, SEAT, And some fords and "chevys" that you don't see in the US or Canada.

Who said the Illegals "refused" to learn engrish? Most are just isolated cases, yet you take the group as a whole. Also, The way you've written those posts of yours gives me the impression that you want everyone to forget their native tongue to speak yours. YOU CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE! That's impossible. You might turn some "hispanics" into pochos (our hispanic cultural casualties) but you can never take every single one of us and wash our brains like you did with a lot of Europeans back in 1900.
That's why i know a lot of ppl of Polish descent who can't speak a word of Polish.

Tell that to the Menonite people in the State of Chihuahua.

And what the hell did you mean by a PA-13 thread? lol!

Oh and why don't you see this with more open eyes? You're not a Gringo, I'm not a Beaner. We're both Westerners!

Pedophile,

Are you saying that Wyoming, Kansas, and Missouri should have French as their language because the French owned the land. Or maybe Virginian should have Algonquian as their language because they were here first. Certainly by the same token, New York City should have Dutch as its language. To say so is stupid, though not suprising considering your intelligence.

Why are you calling me a Paedophile, you hatemonger?
Wyoming, Kansas, and Missouri were never a Legitimate part of the Kingdom of france as the Southwest was of Mexico. Same concept goes for New York it wasn't PART of the netherlands, as Alaska and Hawaii are part of the US.
Making such comparisons is stupid, though not surprising considering YOUR intelligence.

The Grand motherland of Mexico will someday be known, not as a nation for partying and drinking, but as a nation of honour, values, culture, opportunities, grandeur, like Hitler dreamed of his Greater Germany. But Unlike Hitler, WE WILL NOT FAIL. What Mexico needs to become is an Empire or a kingdom, because it looks like it's not getting much respect from the "Americans" as the republic it is today. And if you can't open your eyes to the fact that we are on a much higher level than the one you want to put us in, you are doomed by your own ignorance.

And Jake Personally I am tired of your personal attacks upon me! First you attack me by calling me a pedophile just because I am sexually attracted to women of Japanese origin. And second, you are blemishing the honour of my beloved motherland. What do you expect me to do about it? just stand there? NO! I will stand up for my country.

¡¡¡¡VIVA MEXICO!!!!

Nowhere here did I say i wanted to expand. i just talked about Making my country a great (in quality) empire. Besides. About the staying on our side. Do you want to Isolate the US like North Korea?

No.  The south shall rise again, and unfortunately it will be against you.  Fortunately I have faith in this country's xenophobia to keep you guys out.  This is one thing I'm glad Republicans are talking about.  You guys stay on your side, we'll on ours.  If your country was truly great-like you say it is-you wouldn't need our states back, nor would you be trying to infiltrate them.

You are promoting Isolationism here? Why don't you go to the canadian border and seal it too?
You know, Xenophobia is a sign of a nation's immaturity.
