So, I went to the Citizen website for a manual on a perpetual eco drive watch I have and it asks you to selct your country. USA, France, Sweden, etc.

When you click on USA it asks you to select a language. English or Spanish. Not kidding. USA English or USA Spanish. I didn't know we had 2 official languages now.

Were bilingual in every province but quebec. Their if you speak English in a business they call the language police. If you have an English sign bigger than the french one they call the language police again--think I'm kidding--guess again. In Ontario we also have the smoking police and not because their hot looking or working. You can only smoke outside at any establishment where their is no roof of any kind above your head, Exceptions are just one--any and all Government run Casinos. I don't smoke and I still find this ridiculous.:crying:

I say you better jump in fast and furious because this language crap is getting steadily worse. Are last four Prime ministers have been from quebec and they have been real uncle Toms. These Guys breed hatred and racism but call it language rights. It has cost us a fortune in bilingualizing everything. Every good job in the government goes to a bilingual idiot who only knows two languages and nothing else--except quebec of course where if you have any miniscule amount of English you can't buy a job. Don't get me started-sorry for the rant unfortunately it's all true.

In Colorado you almost have to know it. Same as AZ, NM, TX, CA. It is the most common seond language taught in schools here. Tons of migrant types here, you know? It just makes it easier if you know the language. I think the reported stat is 17% hispanic in CO. Any those are the legal ones.

See this is the problem. We are catering to the non English speaking illegals. If we did not give them the choice to speak English, they would have to follow suit (to an extent). I'm sick to fuking death of going to an ATM machine and having to select a language, same goes for phone menu's, and the god damn labels on everything. I refuse to learn spanish off the principal that I will not make it easier for them to be here. Either you speak English or we're not talking, well not after I'm done bitching you out for not speaking English. :raar:

Like I said :Nip it in the bud right now or suffer 200 years of bending over backwards kissing their asx for no thanks. They start out asking and soon their telling you--wait a minute this sounds like trying to appease a woman who would rather wipe her feet on you than love you. Trust me same thing--if we could just divorce quebec we'd be laughing. Every year it's more gimmees. We have politicians from the province of quebec who don't even swear allegiance to the country and they let them stay. Their sole purpose is one province quebec and what can they grab. Talk about TREASON. They should be shot.

Hey Lanny, blame it on the stupid wankers in Ontario who keep electing Liberal governments!! On another note, how the heck can the PQ even run as an elected body in a federal election when all they do is represent the interests of only one province?? Mr Dion is a tard, great comments to Pakistan..."Nato should invade Pakistan and take over it's military in order to better manage the Afgan situation and borders" and then quickly backpeddle like a republican! What an idiot! Thank god we have Harper in there, cause the NDP (useless), PQ(don't even go there), Liberals(corrupt and dirty to the core), Green Party (Alpha - Omega Friggin never!) right now PC is the only choice. I agree let Quebec go and lets see em swing their own currency and their portion of the national debt, and pay back the 13 billion they owe the Province of Alberta. They would not last a week until the Tribal chiefs launched a massive lawsuit to keep all of northern Quebec in Canada. Quebec would be begging for the rest of the country to take em back...sure we will...right after we invade em. I have no issues with Bilingualism, but we need to make it fair and equal for all Provinces.


Wankers!!!:raar:
