James But it's out intolerance of cultures that MAKES us American.
Apr 16th, 2003 09:46 PM
punkgrrrlie10 I think the more languages the better. It reflects our diversity and tolerance of other cultures.

Esuohlim It just doesn't feel like America if McDonalds has bilingual peel-off game stickers.

Plus, they have gone to far if they start asking you if you want Freedom Fries or Liberty Cabbage with your Big Mac.

punkgrrrlie10 Where in the World Is Spanish Spoken?

Source: Ethnologue

The places listed below have Spanish-speaking populations greater than 100,000. Unless otherwise noted, all counts are 1995 estimates.

Mexico 86,211,000
Colombia 34,000,000
Argentina 33,000,000
Spain* 28,173,600
United States** 22,400,000
Venezuela 21,480,000
Peru 20,000,000
Chile 13,800,000
Cuba 10,000,000
Ecuador 9,500,000

Dominican Republic 6,886,000
El Salvador 5,900,000
Honduras 5,800,000
Guatemala 4,673,000
Nicaragua 4,347,000
Bolivia 3,483,700
Costa Rica 3,300,000
Uruguay 3,000,000
Puerto Rico 2,690,000
Panama 2,100,000
Paraguay 110,000

So I was wrong about numbers. Of course chinese is more spoken....in China. Spanish however is spoken all over the place, including the US....

Plus, commies hate freedom fries.
Apr 16th, 2003 08:00 PM
Les Waste There are also like 55 minority groups in China, with their own minority languages

I've looked it up.
Apr 16th, 2003 07:54 PM
soundtest It has to be more than 14%. 1.3 billion people (almost all of whom speak Mandarin) is more than 14% of the population.

I suggest you read punkgrrrlie10's post. It isn't about being an ethnocentric redneck who thinks the whole world knows (or should know) english. It's about money ... period. If you run a business, you have to stop waving a flag long enough to realize there are more nations (and sources of revenue) in the world than english-speaking americans ... even in america. Hell, at the very least, 1/6 of the world speaks chinese or indian and that still trails the hispanic-speaking population of the world. Just sayin'

punkgrrrlie10 Spanish is the most spoken language in the world. McDonald's isn't just in america.
Apr 15th, 2003 10:49 PM
Captain Robo HAVE YOU READ "THE RISE OF THE COLORED EMPIRES"?

IT'S A FINE BOOK AND EVERYONE OUGHT TO READ IT
Apr 15th, 2003 09:29 PM
Les Waste Robo missed the point.

And yeah, there are now more hispanics in the country than there are black people. They are the biggest minority in the country. I think I heard in sociology class that there will be more hispanics than white people in the country in something like 50 years.

The Monopoly game was a sham. They put the pieces you needed to win in a different country or something like that. They stopped doing that Monopoly thing. I agree with Jamesman, they did go alittle to far when they put Spanish on your goddamn peel-and-lose ticket. I think it is because there are more hispanics coming into our country. (I knew someone who worked at Census)

The Retro Kat DEADLY OBSTICLE COURSE.

Perfect Suspect Well maybe that is custom in Wisconsin, but not down here.

WE DO! Haven't you fuckers ever seen "El Norte?" I'd rather sneak across the U.S. border to Africa than sneak across the Mexican border to America, you retarded fucks.

And fuck you, Perfect Suspect. The mexicans without shirts sitting on their car hoods are citizens. Those are the children of illegal immigrents. Or they're Puerto Ricans. Illegal aliens from Mexico live in cardboard shanty towns and work 22 hours a day digging holes and burying them again.

punkgrrrlie10 the whole bilingual thing is motivated by expanding your market. You cater to whomever you think are going to be buying your product and if you have a large spanish speaking population it's good business sense to have it in both languages.
Apr 15th, 2003 07:29 PM
Esuohlim Thanks for pointing out the irony that we all got anyway.
