BOAZ the lefty would say:
Hey WALT.
Don’t worry mate, you’ll get to recognise a “right-wing moront” more and more as you inhabit this
forum (:
The main symptom is:
Yell and scream about a ‘symptom’ and use that as a straw man with which to beat thinkers to death, rather than looking at the real issue underlying the symptom and taking a responsible approach to it.

Boaz is using the redsunderthebed to disguise his real agenda and deflect our right to linguistic self rule.

There are many racists/fascists waving national flags in street marches, who are also carrying signs like “Reverse the invasion”.
Demographic changes in particular areas make it politically attractive to not support such things as language change, but the immediate outcome is to alienate all Spanish non English speakers in the city/town/state etc.

Ultimately its about world domination (: (do u like that ?( :.. but not domination by English speakers, by the moronic RIGHT ! the international controllers etc... You have to dilute any sense of multiculturalism before you can take power. Language, nationalism and morality are 3 arrows in the quiver of 'takeover'.

How can you have international domination while 'cultures/individuals’ don't want it ?

Dig deep enough in a Rightest brain and you will ultimately find this is what lies below. NO ethnic or cultural identity, NO individuality, NO countries. Just a great mass of glazed eyed robot proletarian drones (with no work choices).

I believe all signage in Australia should PROMINANTLY be in English, with as many other languages as people choose to display.

Intelligently writing about borrowed words and language use as the author did is just helping us understand the complexities of life in the USA. Thanks for that Walt.

Rancitas statement that:
'I believe all signage in Australia should PROMINANTLY be in English, with as many other languages as people choose to display'

May have some validity, except, we know from past experience it's not 'the people' who get to 'choose' on such issues, rather its usually some lefty clique who control some bureaucracy which presumes to impose it from above (as was the case with "multiculturalism").

'The people'only come into it when forced to pay through taxation/rates for its upkeep.

Boaz you sound like a born-again Nazi. Hitler used to go on about how the Internationalists and the Jews were going to take over the world. Then who tried to take over the world? The right-wing Hitler and his National Socialists. They then became Internationalists themselves albeit by expanding their borders rather than imagining them abolished.

The USA’s rulers aren’t exactly respecting national borders or innocent human life are they? They are no better than the terrorists – nay they are terrorist, they hold the world to ransom with their power (for instance, sanction that hurt Palestine's poeple because Hamas were elected), indiscriminate bombing that murders civilians and their nuclear arsenal.
To borrow from a rotten punk rocker (rather than a restive born-again Right winger).
There will always be hate in the far Right because they are of a hateful mindset. The trouble with people around the world is they always direct their hatred and anger onto what they perceive to be lower down the scale. The rednecks attack the left, the poor white attack the poorer blacks, the Aussies attack the Mossies rather than going for the jugular of the world’s controllers (corporations etc) who are keeping them down in the first place. We are all inferior scum in their eyes.

You, Boaz, call people morons. That is indicative of a person who feels that he is a superor human. You are so hypocritical it is funny.

Let's pretend that the writer is not north of the US border but Mexican and wrote this in Spanish.
It is written for the gullable in English.
Please write it in Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Greek and Japanese please so that Walt is separate from the dizzy self-righteous language police.
Then I will read it while I eat my humble pie and bloody sauce.
Let's pretend that the writer can get a message across to the non-gullable while the gullable swallow it.
Let's pretend that people can be hooked in the first paragraph without having to read half the page to find out where you are going.
Let's pretend it is for the Readers Digest instead of the readers indigestion.

As I read this article while sipping a glass of Merlot, I found this a quite entertaining read. No sip for you, Bush! It sounds to be too silly to be true…

My thoughts wandered to my ballroom dancing lessons- no more samba, rumba, salsa, tango, cha cha, polka for American dancers? No more Spanish guitar music?

What about speaking Italian in Little Italy? Or Chinese in Chinatown?

Then I treated myself to the thought that Bush better translate this new law in every language under the US sun…

Perhaps Bush just figures that it would be more rewarding to eavesdrop on people who speak in English.

But seriously, what would it really mean practically?
Cheapskating on education: no more foreign languages to be taught in schools?
Councils prohibited to put books and tapes in different languages on the shelves?
Getting fined when you bump your head and swear in a foreign language?
Pleaaaaaaaaaase!

Celivia,
Merlot is better than swallowing biodiesel. Just where are you slipping sipping in the bush?
Sorry I have differ. Pleaaaaaaaaaase is an English word but what ever pleases you is French to me.
