bah, mexican americans would be better off if none of em drove around in cars with big ass mexican flags on them. that generates a lot of disgust. seriously, i see em like once a month its like why the f*ck are you here if you are so proud of mexico. if ur going to stay, be an american, if not, go the f*ck home.

WOW, anglo-conformity at its best! Nice attitude...It makes for a very enjoyable society, I'm sure...

as opposed to what, japanese non-conformity?

How about as opposed to a society where people (not all, of course) are generally accepting of other people's desires to hold on to their original cultures?

How about if your moving to another culture you adopt its beliefs and ways? Or stay right where you are. A mixed culture is NOT good in any way shape or form for a country.

I understand that, but why should someone be told to "get the f*ck out" if they don't want to disconnect themselves from their roots?

Did you not read my post? Because its unhealthy for a country to attempt to cater to all nationalities and beliefs that way. If you want to live here fine, but learn out culture and adopt it rather then expecting us to cater to you.
unfortunately, thats not how it works.

Who's catering to them? Tolerating having to look at a mexican flag is catering to them? Wha..?

Holy Christ man, go outside some time. You CANT be that dumb right?
Dual language ATM's, street signs in foreign languages etc etc.
I suppose thats just considered being friendly huh?

friendly??? businesses use dual languages to expand their market and clientelle -- NOT because they giving non-anglos unfair advantage

and guess what, nearly ALL street names are foriegn HAHAHAH, they're only so many sites that can be named "mountain view" or "of the ocean" or hell even "town"

Doh, I thought this thread was about French Canadians for a moment there...

That is pretty ignorant...

The point of loss of identity is that it leads to cultural shock and conflicts within ones own borders. Its bad enough you have the problem of crime, but throw in cultural tensions and it gets even worse.
Hence, I'll have no problems if the Mexicans pack up and leaveor we throw'm out. I care not, and personally think it would be healthy.

 

[Thoreau]

Businesses also like to ship jobs overseas and give local jobs to illegals, but that doesn't make the 'expansion of market and clientelle' excuse valid.

I love Mexicans! I hate illegal immigrants!

what is? you cant expect me to retort if you don't contend with a specific point
i'd that THAT was ignorant

Well maybe then we should start striving for a country where other cultures are tolerated and thus eliminating the cultural tensions. Or, we could take your "throw them out" approach...

Your twisted view is ignorant. Just because something is good for business doesn't make it right. Weak argument.

And you cant expect me to retort when you cant even freaking type a coherent sentence. i can forgive a spelling mistake, we all do that. But what the hell are you trying to say here anyways?

I love those hot Mexican chicks

Why is it so bad that someone has a Mexican flag on their car? I don't think it's a big deal...I see Irish flags on cars...how come nobody ever complains about that? Hmmm...

Because the Irish give us good alcohol.

Fords??? Tequila???

hmm, maybe we SHOULD kick them out

I think we would also be healthier if we throw out the people that feel a 'loss of identity' and a 'culture shock'. Most of these people are probably more criminal, too.

WTF? Tolerance is what the US is all about... that's not even the issue here. The issue is whether or not people should completely ignore American culture when they come to this country.

Tolerance and adoption are two very different things. Tolerance is fine. Adoption has come about due to our misplaced belief that to make one feel welcome we have to provide a pseudo-<insert country> feeling right here in our own country.
Tolerance is fine. I have no problem with someone having national pride. Hell, I'm mostly German. Thats national pride.
But you dont see me asking for German on ATM machines, or having the prompt say 1 for Engilsh 2 for German or any other such nonsense.

Your confusing tolerance with adoption. There *is* a difference. You want adoption. And thats bad.

What's American culture? It's a mix of most cultures. What are you talking about?

Well said, Shockwave (minus the Hitler bit... not sure about that... lol).

No its not. Amercian culture is a direct, DIRECT descent of the British culture, and to a lesser extent the European culture.

 

[Thoreau]

Sorry, but ignoring the local culture is indeed what is happening, and it certainly should not. If your only reason for hopping that border fence in Southern Arizona is to make money, and send it back to another country, or to come here legally, but again only for the monetary aspect, and you have no intention of learning American culture, I have to agree... get the f out.

On the other hand, if you want to come here legally, and be a productive, constructive, and involved American citizen, welcome, and here's your complimentary American flag.

No, it used to be a long time ago. It has now and always evolves.

That was just to turn up the heat, but I removed it. Figured I'd actually try to have a normal discussion for once.

Course, if Hitler WOULD have won the war, I'd be sittin VERY pretty right now. Very pretty indeed. Alas, didnt happen.
