Thanks for explaining Kev
One must ask itself though...
If you're in a neighbourhood with nothing but Arabic/Chinese/Hebrew, whatever language signage, then isn't it safe to assume most of the people in the neighbourhood will speak that particular language?
Are you an ACLU functionary of some sort?Quote:

Honestly, while you are a fan of the ACLU, I am a fan only of their charter, and not their tactics.
Besides which, I think you are a bit presumptive appropriating "real Republicans" for duty there without their permission.
I think they'd object, I really do.
This is what happens with all the fucking around about having an official language.
An interesting thought...Quote:

If you read, what I said was that the ACLU protects the constitution. That is the point and the only point of the ACLU. If the constitution can be broken for one group of people then it can be broken for any group. They are protecting the constitution, not nambla or any other scum.Quote:

As to the repulican comment...I stand by what I said. The party has been hijacked.
Not necessarily.Quote:

Makes sense to me.
They seem to be a very insular people...my sister-in-law walked into an Arab market looking for some sort of spice she needed, and she couldn't read the signs.
The fellow in attendance waved her to the door, and said something like, "leef!"
So she "leefed", and never went back. :huh:
Funny-the ACLU used to help those whose rights had been violated and had no recourse...kind of like legal aid.Quote:

Kind of like...hijacking.
As to your last, I don't know what you mean-what party has been hijacked?
Hmmm....how is it 'unconstitutional, anti-immigrant and unnecessary'?
Where does the constitution fit into this?? Anti immigrant? Oh hell.
Unnecessary? Well, as J2 says, how would I tell the emergency operator where to send the cops/rescue/fire/marines...whatever? "Its....uhhh...mune..many....uhhh.... Oh Hell...errr....is that an upside down v? WTF??" CLICK! They best hope I enabled GPS location on my cellphone. If not, burn baby burn. Or at best hope someone else can call and speaks english or that the EO has a translator.....lot of damn hopes. At least give the name and address in the native tongue.
Hell, if I were to 'immagrate' to Italy (for example)I would at least make an effort to learn to read and speak rudimentary Itallian. No hopes for fluency at first, just out of respect for the citizens of the country I'm 'immagrating' too. Gives them a giggle and helps me find a potty and after all, it's their country. I'm just a damn immigrant.
So why is it to much to ask for those immagrating to the US to learn English? Why should I learn Spanish? Or Arabic?
Why dont we round up the ACLU and.....
Later taters,
bone
The address?:unsure:Quote:
