I love Mexicans. Whenever I get back to L.A., the Spanish signs make me feel at home. No joke. "Salida" is my "welcome home" sign.

davenotdead 06.18.2008 04:36 PM

dirrrty south, but im going to montreal on saturday for like 2 weeks

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:37 PM

I think all americans should be required to speak in jamaican patois

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:39 PM

and FUCK english as the only american language. if things had gone slightly different german would be our main language, seeing as how many original settlers here spoke german.

to make a statement like "speak english or get out of the USA" is as stupid andd ignorant as saying "be white or get out of the USA"

dumbfucks!

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:39 PM

Long live the land of the free
free to speak whatever the fuck language you feel like.

die fascists die

english is the language of business and entertainment...and thats what we all about

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:46 PM

and I love it, and I think english will be the worldwide language of commerce for a long long time, but ina country that supposedly prides itself on self determination it is small minded to think that everyne should be rrequired to speak just one language.

jus sayin'

i understand, and kind of agree... what alarms me, is how can all those people who don't speak a word of english pay taxes and stuff? i know many of them have family who do it for them... but many do not...

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:57 PM

well, everyone pays sales tax, gasoline tax, etc. the only taxes you have to fill a form out for is income tax and they come in many languages, cuz you can be sure the IRS wants their money! and not only that but most immigrants and "illegal" people would qualify for full refunds like all people that make less than 24 thou or so.

Cantankerous 06.18.2008 05:04 PM

in america you should speak at LEAST english given that it's the language of this country and necessary to successfully communicate with other people. feel free to speak any other language that you want, but you better fucking understand what i'm talking about when i say i want two cheeseburgers, a large fry and a large sprite.

Everyneurotic 06.18.2008 05:04 PM

yeah, it was like "damn, i thought i sounded convincing!"

gmku 06.18.2008 08:11 PM

Whatever you do, try not to lose any more friends.

Nice tape mix, btw. I'm going to fashion one after it, meself, I thinks.

Cantankerous 06.19.2008 03:16 AM

^ wait where are you from?
i thought you were english.


i always thought english was hard to learn because the way the verbs are conjugated is totally ass-backwards.

i might also note that even though i am going to amsterdam soon i am going to make absolutely no attempt to speak dutch because they all speak english anyway and i can't pronounce any of that shit.

I think conjugation is hard in any language, but I don't know if English is specifically difficult. I know English is hard to spell and impossible to pronounce because it's so random and non-standardized, but the non-standardized thing probably applies to conjugation and FUCKINGDAMMIT my clothes keep falling off the back of my chair.

the way verbs are conjugated in spanish, french, etc is almost completely standardized save for a few irregular verbs. also there are things called false cognates (two words in separate languages that sound the same but mean different things rather than the same thing as they usually do) that may confuse non-native speakers when trying to learn english. the way verbs are conjugated in english is completely random, unlike almost any other language, which would make it difficult to learn.

acousticrock87 06.19.2008 04:30 AM

True, but just about every other thing about the language is random too. Except word order, maybe, but even that has unlimited exceptions depending on emphasis and stuff.

In all seriousness, take it as a not-so-subtle continued chastisement of the choices I see etc etc, refer to earlier posts.

I'm sorry for anybody who loses a friend but you make it seem like it barely fazes you. You trivialize the true meaning of friendship and loss. And we're supposed to be broken up for you? Give me a break.

Anyway, have a great trip.

By often working for below the national minimum wage, perhaps? Gosh, this has to be one of the most stupid people who posts on this board. And he looks like a fucking Australian backpacker to match. Ew!
