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

you sure have an imagination there that you can read my conclusions even when they're not mentioned

I've never presumed to opine right or wrong
but you do show an inkling of intelligence observing it IS good for business-- what businessses? american businesses

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...

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.

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

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

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

US culture is a mixture of various cultures, but it is still distinct.

I've already stated that it's a mix of many cultures and it is always evolving.

I know. My point was that it's still a distinct cutlure. Just because it is a mixture doesn't mean anything goes.

I am calm. You're fairly sensitive.

you and I are the only ones talking on the business tangent dannyboy
do you think that elusive and curt replies help or hinder your arguements?

 

wow, a whole thread about the mexican impacts on american culture and not one comment about airbrushed vehicles, gothic lettering in the back window, and wheels that stick out 8 inches from the side of the car/truck/minivan?

btw, someone in this thread said van helsing sucked - i thought it was awesome

You forgot that in Phoenix they have places where you can *rent* rims for you car for days/weeks at a time to add that necessary bling bling to your car.

Your welcome. I'd love to move back to where I'm from. Alas, no good jobs in that area.

Hmmm I live in Vermont I don't think I have ever seen a real mexican in person before. so this wouldn't be a big shock to me.

seriously man I cant follow his logic here, we were talking about multilingualism and its prevalence in american business, i've already stated how its a reality -- instead of discussing it with me he insults me like a 12year old would

I have to agree with others that imply that America really doesen't have a culture. I mean, it does.. but its in a league of its own, or something. It's different from other more traditional cultures.

It is a mix of all other cultures, thats why its hard to pin it down. It's quite regional.

Yes, seemingly his only two capabilities are misunderstanding your posts, and insulting you.

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.

It's a means of acknowledging one's heritage. Just because someone is proud of their heritage doesn't mean they aren't equally proud of who they are (American).

thats crazy...
the first time i seen rims like that, i told the guy he had his rims on inside out
i thought it was witty and amusing...he didn't find it so (at least as far as i could tell, the words he spoke were unfarmiliar to my solo-lingual ears)

 

[DurocShark]

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

I have no problem with immigrants. This nation and soceity was founded on immigration. It's ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that I have a problem with. And the catering to them. I fail to pay a traffic ticket, I can go to jail. An illegal can hop the fence, come here, make money, send a good portion of it home, and if he/she gets caught, they get a free ride to go visit the family. :| And this PC term really sucks: "Undocumented Aliens" Frigging bleeding heart liberals. :|

I'd vote for a law that relaxes and better defines the immigration rules. No prob... Most 1st generation immigrants I've met are VERY hard working people. Friendly and family oriented to a fault. Quite a few make a strong effort to become part of this soceity, and each provides something unique and worthwhile to our culture as a whole.

I get bothered by the Mexican (and other nation) flags. I really am offended that these people would come here, and then piss on the USA by flying the flag of another nation. But whenever I start to get upset, I remember one of the biggest reasons I love this country.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

The fact that these people are ALLOWED to fly the flag of another country rocks!
