Spanish National Anthem....

[chaseter]

LOL, I get it, you're an idiot.

Last time I checked, that was a joke. Do not call me an idiot

 

[DarthRekal]

Ok, but speaking english isnt one of our rules.

i said unwritten..or assumed..... why do you think when the asian peoples open a shop and put the symbols of their language on the building ..they have to have what it means in english....

I never know what to expect on this forum. some people have presented worse arguments than that and have been dead serious.

 

[chaseter]

Lets sing the Korean national anthem in English and see what happens.

 

[Darthphere]

For the record, I think all of you have great points and I actually agree with most of it, though I think we need to get rid of this superior attitude us Americans have(yes I am guilty of it too).

Just cause the guy got a opinion different than yours?

Come on we better than that.

 

[DarthRekal]

do you think that's because people want to speak or because visiting foreign nationals demand for it to be spoken to them?

i think just like the other thread..the world is driven by money...once people can speak the same language..they can make more money.... it just so happens we have the most...im sure if china became less secluded and flexed its power there would be a surge of chinese speakers too.... it just flows like that ..

I know the feeling, I lived in Korea for a year and it was a odd experience.

The culture the size of their homes (small) and me this black grain of pepper in a sea of Lemon pepper.

You should not be ashamed of your culture and origins just because you are outnumbered in your environment. You should take pride in being different and embrace it. It is attitudes like that that suppress minor cultures from embracing theirselves and are then accused of excluding others. If you go to another country learn their language but keep yours, learn their culture but keep yours, and learn their customs but keep yours.

You see the reason why Mestizos never had to be assimalated was because their were already other Mestizos here in the country already when other were barely coming in. So when we left the mother land we just came into the sister land.

As far as this recording goes:
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter what they record. The official Nation Anthem is in English. Unless it is the government's official lyrics, it's not actually the national anthem.

It is a Spanish version of "In Defense of Fort McHenry", set to "To Anacreon in Heaven".

 

[deemar325]

Heres the thing you can be proud of your ancestry, yet still be of the nation you live.

I'm black and Italian yet I don't feel the need to parade around with an Nigerian or Italian flag.

I'm American first and foremost, what is so hard to understand about that?

This country is a wealth of riches and we give so much to others and all we ask is for loyalty and to learn English people get upset and complain.

It disgusts me.

I have no complaint about things being in different cultures and languages all at once. Yes, there are some ou there who want everything their way and don't want to adapt like my mother for example. She's been in this country for 17 years and STILL doesn't wanna learn English. She complains about nobody wanting to give her and job and doesn't see it as important to learn English. She ALWAYS demands for spanish speaking doctors, repair men, bankers, receptionist, etc!! If she can't understand you she'll MAKE you get somebody who will.
