Should English be the Standard Language in US?

[1991TheGoyo]

I have 2 children who were born in USA and I always encourage them to learn English and Spanish because I'm sure that in the future you'll need to be at least a bilingual or trilingual to succed in this country. So I feel sorry for those who don't want to learn English, Spanish,Chinese or any other language as a second language. Unless you are retarded you are excused for not learning a second language.

you kids are funny :]

and i agree i hate anyone that comes to USA and doesnt speak our language.

They are not trying to pass. The system passes them. Schools should flunk them and see how quickly they'll start learning.

That is a good motivator but if the system passes them and you try to impose the Language on them that's not gonna work. Also you know very little about citinzenship. You kids need to learn another language,forget who doesn't speak English. You learn another language.

The guy to the right looks Hispanic, is a shame if you are that your parents didn't reinforce it at home. I live in Florida, in Miami, everybody speak Spanish so English country only, I doubt it. Many older people coming to this country it is very difficult for them to learn English. In the future Hispanics are going to be mayority here so Spanish a plus.

Hey you are the new beavies and butthead! but more dumb! haha just kidding

[isselman2000]

Why don't you try learning another language and see how difficult it is? English is only favored in the world because America is currently the world's strongest economy. But its power is slipping all the time and in your lifetimes there may be a new superpower... And then nobody will want your stupid English.

They "learn" english, they just learn it poorly, and wouldn't you prefer your native language, which you know the best. Also, some people need to move here in a hurry, and are either too poor to afford to learn english, or they don't have much time to spare. At the end, "learno hablo ingles," in spanish that is COMPLETELY wrong. (no your not going to move to a spanish speaking country but still).
