[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 866994, member: 17969"] Umm , how do I say this without being punished for my words?? Moreluck, do you really understand what english only Means?.......Seriously?.... I somehow doubt you do. I get that english only is a bandwagon ideal for you, but have you thought this out thoroughly? Lets say this country was ENGLISH only for a second. Doesnt that mean that all spanish words would have to be eliminated from our country, correct? YES ( x ) NO ( ) You want ENGLISH ONLY? OK lets give it to you. What would be the new names for: San Diego San Juan Capistrano El Toro El Segundo Playa Del Rey Marina Del Rey San Marcos Santa Barbara Santa Maria San luis Obispo Los Angeles San Francisco Los Alamitos San Bernadino San Gabriel San Dimas etc etc etc What about all the streets in "our" neighborhoods? Calle Camino Ortega Hwy Avenida Aqua Via Domingo etc etc etc What about all the shopping centers that begin with : Plaza ? These are all spanish terms and NOT english. Would it not be hypocritical to speak spanish if this was an english only country? Your entire neighborhood would have to change every street, shopping plaza, school and city name to something in ENGLISH. I imagine your hypocrisy would take over and you would be of the opinion that it would be cool to speak spanish if it was a street, city , school, hwy or county. Ill let you give us your opinion. Peace. [/QUOTE]
