@Tycho24 having an official language is a standard practice in the developed world. Half of the US states already established English as its official language. Are those states fascist?..
Got a tip for us?

Okay, clearly you do NOT understand how language learning works. Not only does speaking a language NOT mean you have mastered it, but in fact no matter long you speak that language, if you didn't learn and use it constantly from a young age, you are never actually going to get it 100%. There are always going to be some words and grammar structures that confuse you. I have many foreign friends who have been speaking English for decades, and they still need to ask me to define words for them. That's just the reality of the situation! And while this isn't a big deal in general conversation, it can be when dealing with something important like legal or financial matters. This is why interpreters and translations of official documents exist. It is NOT so people can avoid learning English altogether.

My great great grandmother immigrated to this country in the 1800s from Germany. She never learned English but her children all did. That has been the way immigrants to the United States have assimilated. Adults who immigrated brought their culture with them. Their children absorbed the culture of their new home.
The immigrants enriched our country with the traditions they brought, though many children and grandchildren of immigrants don't teach their own kids the old language.
It isn't necessary to insist that immigrants learn English before they are allowed to enter and stay. That happens naturally over a generation or two.
It's not about killing diversity, it's about, you know, speaking a common language. You might have tons of people speaking tons of languages in Manhattan, but I can almost guarantee you that just about everyone one of them speaks English as well. It's the common thread that ties us all together.
Plus, going to another country and refusing to learn the native language is kinda rude.
That's democracy. I democracy if you cannot speak out against facial and hate, then that's not democracy. For example more people should have spoken out against Hitler. That's democracy.
Oh there are definitely people in this country who would like to kill diversity. Literally in at least one case.
The saddest irony is that Puerto Ricans are all native US citizens.
Aye. People seem to oblivious to the fact that our country has engulfed many existing cultures.
Um ok....?
that link you linked had nothing to do with what I posted, nor did it refute (or try to) what I was saying.
Those statistics are fact and commonly known, its not like up for debate or anything.
Not judging by your posts ITT, you are one of the most irate and emotional here.
Yes you have a hateful agenda. You are not a self aware enough person to see it from other perspectives though.
Then don't say stuff about Trump that isn't true or factual. If you want to sound educated, educated yourself first.
If you don't want to educate yourself then don't speak on topics you don't know about. Especially if its just gonna be baseless vitrol.
Again with the better of two evils scenario.
Did you ignore all the stuff about his charisma and salesmanship?
He is not only not a bad candidate, he is our only hope Luke.
Diversity: liberal code-word for anti-white.
Brb lets erase white tradition and heritage so that way some modern day parasites can feel better about themselves as they leech off the society built by those very people.
Where is the respect for hard working Americans that made this country great.
Im sick of all this and I cant wait to see Trump make America great! Theres no stopping that train!
Yes, because a white guy killing three natural-born American citizens for speaking the standard language of their territory is clearly an attack on white people.

so poor people are bums white are great and trump will make that even more? whats he gonna do wave his fairy wand and make all the poor people vanish? let them die so they don't take up money from your pocket? since you say your so affluent why does it bother you to spend 45.00 or so to help the needy verses over 600 to pay corporate welfare? who needs the money more? wait I know all poor are bums no wonder you love trump.
No, I expected what is here. A memory of my days in early elementary school. Sitting around a table with others arguing who was going to receive that one Cookie that was larger than the others. At the time we all thought is was crucial to our future. We had to obtain that cookie.
Then as we grew up, it became apparent that "all cookies" were simply Bull****.
Completely agree that after having lived there for six years Manhattan is a beautiful place full of vibrant culture, diversity, and people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and experiences. No one is saying to halt or end immigration and cancel this out. It's illegal immigration that's at the cruxt of it. There's a huge difference.
Yeah sure, ILLEGAL immigration is the reason Trump latched onto the Obama birther "conspiracy". ILLEGAL immigration is why he called for a natural-born judge to recuse himself.

By whom? The Bureau of Justice is refuting your evidence.
According to your macro, 320,000 whites suffered at the hands of black people. According to the BJS report, the number of violent crimes committed by blacks for the years between 2005-2014 tends to float around an average of 450,000 reported cases. If we assume your report is correct, which we have no reason to other than it's own word, than it looks like the VAST majority of black violence is committed against whites.
But if we go by this, then it looks like 90% of black crime tends to be committed against other black people. It's the same for whites. Violent crimes, such as rapes, assaults, murder, tend to be surprisingly intraracial.
So you're wrong.
Well you may have a long list of companies to hate because many are pulling out because #Drumpf is a losing horse and no, 50% of the people don't want him as their president..... I think you over estimate his appeal.
I never brought up Trump in my comment... I'm not arguing on his or HC's behalf. Legal immigration is a beautiful institution and is what built this great country of ours. Without it, my family and most everyone I know wouldn't be here. Illegal immigration is a real issue that needs to be addressed peacefully in a humane and bipartisan manner.
You keep saying half the country...... Where are you getting these numbers?
But they're all reasonable concerns.
...as if anyone we now consider ignorant, unreasonable ***holes in the past has ever thought their personal beliefs were ignorant and unreasonable at the time. Everything Bobby Corwin and his ilk are doing are just seemingly rational justifications to excuse their irrational fear of people.
You're more than 200x more likely to be assaulted by a black than a white. I'm not racist. Just a realist leaning on cold, hard fact. Here's my proof. A ******* MEME! You liberals just can't accept that reality runs counter to your fairytale notion of diversity. It doesn't work. Deal with it.
And if you offer any evidence to counter my notions and beliefs, I'll just laugh, roll my eyes, and call you stupid. You can spin the numbers any way you want. But what I believe is fact.
You're the real racist.
I'd say, "half-ish of the voting country."
That way, when 53% of the country votes, having 50%+50 (one extra for each state) of that is that you win 100% of the electors with 26.5% of the country voting.
"He is a demagogue. Exploiting people's fear and ignorance for his own personal gain." - That's ObamaCare.
You don't know what demagogue means, if Trump was one, then his poll numbers would be higher. You also don't know what personal gain means, because Trump lives in places that make the Whitehouse look like a shoebox.
And that's why Apple isn't donating to any.
