English doesn't have to be "official" here. It is common knowledge that English is the main language. But if illegals get amnesty, they may vote to get Spanish the "official" language.
If someone is speaking their own language within earshot of someone who doesn't speak that language, it is considered to be rude.

Right you are, Sheldon - but when it comes time to go to the bank, a state office like the DMV, or somewhere like that I think a person really needs to speak the lingo.

I agree with ya about the flags, disagree with ya about the language (and I dont even live in america)
You should have to know the countries official language, and since the states has none (as far as I know anyways) , I think people should be free to speak whatever they want.
In canada, I believe people should know at least one of the official languages, and if they want to speak others ones in addition, more power to them.

Actually most Provinces and US States recognize English as the official language. If people aren't happy with that, they shouldn't move there.

That is BS. I think in protest EVERY AMERICAN in the apartment complex should hang a flag outside. They can't evict everyone! The owner of the place needs to fire that manager!
I fly my flag outside my home everyday unless it's raining, too windy, etc. Always have, and always will. Even when I lived in an apartment complex. No one ever complained, others actually followed.

I hate to constantly hear that people are always offended over stupid things. These types of people just need to grow up and grow a pair.

Pretty stupid to dishonor the symbol of one of the few countries that gives you that freedom to dishonor its symbol. Or at least doesn't shoot you for it and send your family a bill for the bullet.
