senate immigration law passes
May 25, 2006 8:21AM PDT

Heres a LINK


Heres an excerpt.

''The Senate agreed on Thursday to make English the national language of the United States and moments later also adopted a milder alternative calling English the country's ''unifying language.''

Whats up with a unifying language.I figured there was going to be something to distract from the real objective.

Selecting a national

language has no more effect than selecting a national tree or poem. It's just a bone tossed to the people who get threatened when they hear foreign languages.

Do you have any rational basis to say that English, by any significant measure, is losing out to any other language in the US?

What concerns me...
May 26, 2006 3:17AM PDT

is the possibility of the bill getting watered down.Seems to have started out with the bite of a tiger now has a bite of a mouse.

The problem is that this should have been taken care of decades ago.When something is delayed it just makes it that more difficult to rectify.

But, Mark, the question was to you, remember?
May 26, 2006 4:42AM PDT

And here you are, once again, avoiding the question at all costs.

What's your evidence, Mark? While you're at it why don't you tell us if you've ever been to France. You might as well combine the answers since they'll be covered by the same evasiveness.

May 26, 2006 6:04AM PDT

take an English comprehension course because i did answer that question its just it went over your head go back re read it and ask for help if you need to.
ill repeat my answer here.

i s aid" Ive met French people here why give there economy over there any money" was that explicit enough for you or do you need Websters to tell you what it is?

Mark, you, of all people, have
May 26, 2006 6:13AM PDT

zero room for that kind of comment.

And your answer could apply if you had been to France or if you hadn't.

I notice you've evaded the question to support your statement about English losing to invaders. Again.
