@dayron25 De acuerdo. Ahora ya esta arreglada la cosa!

@ursa41 I know how to behave in countries where I set foot unlike some people, I do not talk politics (unless someone wants to have an INTELLIGENT conversations NOT blowouts) and I keep an open-mind, and I remember that I'm in THEIR country. And yes, I'm a Latino, pero yo no dejo que me ciegue la passion, I also consider myself a multicultural person, and I analyze things differently. you call me whatever you want, I know who I am... vale tio?
-
@dayron25 "Us gringos"--man, you sound like what we call an "Imitation Latino". Going to Spain? Better not talk like that, you won't be appreciated. Yeah, I'm wasting my time talking to you as well. Estas jodido, de verdad. Lo siento muchissimo por ti. Never met a Latino like you before in my entire life that talked like that...that's sad, bro! Hasta nunca, cono!

@ursa41 you don't even consider yourself an american so why should I even bother arguing?? my advice, if you're happier in Spain, then para Espana mi hermano! vete pero ya! si no resistes este pais, pues vete a sumbar a otro lado. I have nothing against Spain, I'll be going there soon as a matter of fact, but I ain't ganna sit here and let you just talk shit about us "gringos" you're no better than people here in Miami. good day.

I have dual citizenship; every summer I go there, I visit the Ministry of Labor and drop off resumes. The day I get called and someone in my family pulls strings, my ass is outta' here believe me!! My wife , Belizean-born,loves Spain and has many friends there as well and boy does she hate Yanquis because they're a bunch of fuckin' hypocrites. I got five years to retire in the meantime then we're out of this fuckin' fascist pigpen if I don't get lucky beforehand. That answer your question?
-
@dayron25 Maybe so, but the entire world has one thought in common: the U.S. is a mayor fuckin' exploiter of every goddamn in the world so don't even go there!!! Catalans, Basques and we Gallegos may have our own issues, but when it comes to facing up against this country, they'd unite. BELIEVE ME, I FUCKIN' KNOW CAUSE I'VE SPOKEN WITH FRIENDS FROM THERE TOO...SO DON'T EVEN GO THERE, ALRIGHT???
-
@ursa41 and why are you here then if you hate the USA so much? why?? why not live in Spain??
-
@ursa41 lets not talk about Spain because Spain has its own cultural identity problem...please! Catalans want independence, Basque want independence, Galecians don't consider themselves Espanhois and they resent Espanholistas, and not to mention that they are all a bunch of hipocrits since they call ALL South Americans "sudacas" as an insult and see them as lower then dirt. Spain has their own shit to fix first before they can give us cultural advice.
-
@dayron25 I respect your point of view, but the fact remains that, even though I was born here to Spanish immigrants, I never once felt 'American". I travel to Spain every year to visit family and friends, no one suspects I'm "American" ( rarely do as my Spanish does not betray an accent unlike Gringos who can't speak for shit). Most of everybody there believes America has NO culture, and is ignorant; they say if it did, they wouldn't be so culturally-insensitive now, would they??

@ursa41 well mijo thats because you went as a tourist, which is the best way to experience Miami, but for someone who has spent 21 years in Dade County, its not as nice as tv presents it mijo, don't be fooled.
Miami Cuban refugees keep telling us U.S. born citizens that Spain owned Miami 415 years ago! Telling us that is a misnomer since Spain gave up control of the U.S. years ago. Who are you to demand that Americans "must learn Spsnish and must be bilingual"? In Miami, Bilingual means speaking Spanish but Spanish speakers only speak a few words of English! So your "retrograde" remark is totally false and Miami bilingual Spanish speakers are the retrograde ones only speaking a few English words

Wrong. English is the language of our U.S. Constitution! Nothing in our Constitution
mandates that U.S. citizens learn more that English. English is the chosen language of Science, Medicine, Technology,Investions, Business Transactions, The key language mandated for use by Air Traffic Control Towers around the world! But I guess you want Spanish to be the key languge in the U.S.
instead of the English lnguage because Spain owned parts of the U.S.160 years ago and you
want it conquered?
