Spanish National Anthem....

[Maxwell Smart]

You never studied history did you?

I guess its you who did not. We took over half the land area of the United States of Mexico at the time. Of course we did this with the "treaty" of Guadalupe Hidalgo- if you can call something signed at gunpoint a treaty.

Tacos aren't from Spain

Yup. All the tortilla-based dishes are Indian, not Spanish.

PAELLA comes from Spain. Mmmm, Paella...

So I'm guessing noone would object to "God Save the Queen" done by 2LiveCrew or Shabba Ranks' version of "Oh Canada" ?

Are those artists from the anthems respective countries?

I'm not in favor of the US National Anthem being in spanish, but the artists doing it are american.

Yes, I did, and not just the Eurocentric version.

That shouldn't matter, they are singing the Anthem in a foriegn language under the Freedom of Speech thing. What's the difference?

They are taking back the land that once belong to them.

I call it Justice.

If everyone took back the land that once belonged to them....the whole world's population would have to move.

YEAH.......WE'D HAVE TO GIVE 'EARTH' BACK TO THE ALIENS.

If they want it.....they don't even vacation here much anymore.

I don't think Mexicans are telling non-Mexican American they have to move, they are just slowly but surely seizing economic and political control of this country and spreading the influence of their culture.

Just like Europeans and later the U.S. did to them, except through attempted Genocide and opression.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I don't like it, but it doesn't really matter. The US has a pathetic anthem to begin with.

 

[Carcharodon]

What language is that? Damnit we should be reading and writing in Daedric.

Heh...the tune was actually borrowed from an Irish drinking song.

What do you guys think, seems like a lot of people are outraged by this.

I'm not outraged, but if you want to be an American citizen learn the f**kin language.


That's all.

Thers no official language.

 

[Carcharodon]

Damnit that's what I'm trying to tell people!!

The United States of America does NOT have an official language.

 

[deemar325]

Thers no official language.

English is unofficial and is the standard not only for us, but the rest the world.


I'll say again I'm sympathetic to the immagrant cause (somewhat) yet they must fully intergrate with American society.

 

[Darthphere]

If its unofficial why should it be a requisite?

 

[deemar325]

Because the majority speaks it.

 

[Darthphere]

Because the majority speaks it.

The majority of americans wear Polo jeans, everyone should wear them.

 

[deemar325]

Darth I'm not gona continue this.

It's my opinion and my wife is latina go figure, even she agrees with me.

Ah ok, if your latina wife hates it than yeah you have a point....

how exactly would singing the anthem in spanish make them "less integrated"? most the artists angaged in the project speak english fluently and are "integrated" so I see no point in this.
