he has to be… otherwise the illegal mexicans would kill him, I mean to force someone to change their language to the language of the country their living in…
Doesn’t anyone realize that we all live in North America. Mexico, Canada, and the United States are all part of North America, therefore we are all Americans.
Because English was the most-spoken language when the country was founded and should stay that way. Anyone who lives in the US and doesn’t speak English should try to learn at least the basics, just like anyone going to any country should try to learn the basics of their primary language. It’s common sense, really.
It is not that difficult to learn a little bit of the language. It is not hard to learn how to say a few basic phrases in order to try and communicate.
Ya in Mexico almost everybody knows at least more than 1 language, but the ones that goes illegally to united states are the ignorant that think they can have a life without studying.
For example I´m in Mexico and I´m Mexican and I know,read and speak 4 languages; I´m still in school and I also learned the basics for mandarin but I forgot them xD
Obviously, you can’t even speak one language, so do try and back off. First off, the “A” should be capitalized in “and,” that entire sentence is merely a fragment, the “i” in “its” should be capitalized, “then” should be “than,” and there should be either a semicolon or a period in between “think” and “stop.” You also missed either a period or an exclamation point at the end of your post. Learning a language is not that difficult; it requires time set aside along with constant practice. With this, I was able to learn Japanese in about 3 years.
i learned japanese in 5th grade
however after moving the american public school system has dumbed me down to the point were i cant capatalize or spell properly
Fail! Who cares if the grammar is correct as long as you can understand them?
we have it horrible here… maybe the E.T’s will leave now that taxes have gone up 12%…
If they don’t want to learn the language, then they have no basis for complainint about:
1) How they can’t get a job
2) How no one understands what they heck they want/need.
It’s not about being ignorant of the difficulty of the language. Our ass-backwards society wants 300 million people to learn every new language instead of each individual learning the language of the masses. It shouldn’t be the burden of those who are here to accomodate every newcomer. It’s the newcomer’s responsibility to adapt to the new environment, or suffer the consequences and social isolation. Plain and simple.
Agreed, that does not mean we don’t want to learn other languages as many of us already do. I have a friend who lives here who came from Mexico, she had an office job over there but since she cannot speak english she has to clean houses. I can speak to her in spanish but she is having trouble learning english because there is so much supoort for her to keep speaking spanish. The TV, the church, everywhere you shop they have bilingual people and the extended family. Well, that’s good I guess but she will have to keep cleaning houses until she learns english which is a shame since she has skills.
1. “Complainint” — Are you trying to say “complaining,” or “complaint?”
2. “How” should be “Why” in both items;
3. Item 1 should be followed by a semicolon, since it is a part of your list of
complainints (sic);
4. And finally, your appalling display of the “Ugly American” attitude, your gratuitous use of profanity, and your apparent pride in being a “know-nothing” rates this
note as a “fail.”
Well, yeah, actually, I’ve learned 2 foreign languages (and studied 3 others without bothering to become fluent). But you can betcher bippy that if I moved to Russia, I’d learn their language.
.
Hard? Learning the language through daily contact with native speakers is the easiest and most effective way. And costs less than a 4-credit hour university course.
Perhaps the second sentence is missing the word “to”.
“It’s harder than you think TO stop being so ignorant.”
(NOTE: The word “to” was capitalized in this sentence to add emphasis and illustrate a point. Other capitalization, spelling and punctuation errors in the original sentence were corrected out of courtesy to the reader.)
No I think it was “It’s harder than you think; stop being so ignorant.” or at the very least “It’s harder than you think so stop being so ignorant.”
Not at all what you said.
It depends on the language, really. Spanish isn’t that hard to learn the basics of. Our American version of English is actually one of the harder languages to learn.
As a white English speaking American, all I have to say about Mexicans
That refuse to learn English is….
!ORALE pendejo! !!!YO he aprendido TU idioma huey!!! ustedes
no necesitan hablar ingles totalmente correcto, solomente quiero que
traten a aprender mi idioma si quieran trabajar y vivr aqui. ustedes son
muy buenos para nuestro economia, preveiendo un fuente de labor que,
a menos en california, no podriamos vivir sin. pero aumentan el conflicto
cuando no aprendes la IDIOMA central, la que hemos vivido con por
la general de nuestro historia.
That wasn’t perfect Spanish, but its “entendible” (understandable).
o and FTW, most immigrants get mad at the idea of their kids being
taught in Spanish. they want them to learn English cause they’ll be more
successful. until Latin American development reaches a satisfactory
level, its going to be this way.
sorry Athanar but WE..the MEXICANS in a very near future are gonna own the US so you better get basic spanish lessons because you GRINGOS are the ones who are gonna need to speak spanish. e.g. I mean u are about to have a black president!! when not so long ago they were ur slaves!! and now u will KNEEL!!!
You can’t even write properly, if by “WE” you mean a bunch of ignorant people like you, you don’t have any chance at owning anything.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but get real and learn some respect.
And just for the record, I am Mexican, I live in México.
What a shame there’s people like you out there, ruining our name, and culture.
May I state that if you MEXICANS, as you put it, take over this country can you please not turn it into a shit hole like your own country? What I mean is that it is such a great country that you are all fleeing from in droves that I would just love to have a country just like it. Canada better get ready because they seem to keep fleeing north due to such awesome living conditions they set aside for themselves.
Yeah, maybe in your head you do, but all you really are is a stupid person working as a house cleaner living in a 3 bedroom apartment with 15 other mexicans.
Just for the record morons, the richest person in the world is Mexican. Maybe this particular lawnboy – whom I suspect to be a lawn girl – can buy half of your state.
I mean what can we do, we just wanted to stop-by the US and CANADA, but there is something that keeps us far from going back to mexico, and that something is your Girls, Im serious about this, the 80% of ur femmes are easy to tap asses, seriously. how can we leave ur country when ur girls keep yelling us to stay?? they love latin power! u guys should drink some guarana al least.
well i have
learning the BASICS (as he said)
is not that hard
I learned German
Ich heise Haley-My name is Haley (can’t use ess-tset cause i dont know how to type it)
Ich bin funfsehn jahre Alt-I am 15 years old
ja-yes
nein-no
its not that complicated
Every one that lives on the us, learns a little bit of english, is just too hard to forget your original languaje, btw stop crossing the border to fill your tanks you morons
Um, no, I doubt that it was, given the native peoples and their languages, not to mention the large numbers of African slaves and the fact that at that time most of the white population had very recently come from somewhere else …
So then, why do the majority of Americans living in Mexico refuse to speak Spanish? It’s common sense, really.
That’s what really bugs us Latinos: the American hypocrisy. You have the balls to tell us, practically order us, to speak English, but you don’t have the balls to learn how to say anything more than “hola” and “gracias” in our countries.
Here’s what you need to do: you need to get off your high horse and come to terms with the fact that you guys never were and never have been the God-appointed saviors of the world (and I’m referring to a very popular sentiment in the States during the last half of the 19th century).
You are totally right. Everyone should learn the primary language of that country. This country is too soft on that issue. I am Russian born…but have lived here long enough to learn the language….and so did my family. Its one thing to have tv channels you pay extra that are in your language but its another when yuo go to public places and you see billboards in another language or people working in public places who dont speak the country’s language
Yes, but it was British English and besides at some point there were Germans , Italian, Chinese, French and Spanish in the country…and when the country was founded Indians were on most of the land so………..
If you’re in a country for an extended period, I agree–learn the basics. But to say that English was the most-spoken language and should stay that way is naive. The language of a culture always changes, it is constantly morphing. The English language especially! Latin, anyone?
Damn, the English-speaking immigrants who just got off the boats from Europe several hundred years ago didn’t stamp out the languages that THEY should have learned as newcomers to the country. Whatever shall they do? Boo-hoo!
Indeed. As a linguist, I deeply appreciate the teachings of endangered or dying languages to new learners – so much can be learned from languages.
I am currently attempting to learn some Euro- and Pacifico-centric languages, and just hope I have the mental capacity to keep adding to the languages I know. And pray that there is someone to learn from me, when I move on.
Blah Blah Blah….. your facts have no place here. Languages are just like everything. Darwin holds true; the weak die and the strong survive. Good bye latin and aramaic (however the hell you spell it). Hello “english-american” and ebonics!!
Diffrent languages are beautiful. Yes, I know I can not spell very well. I will tell you that first. Languages are a great thing to differ yourself in and that picture is Assicious! Yes I know that in not a word or correct spelling but yes coming into a country you should try to learn a little of their language but people don’t need to be so demeaning about it. And ass hole up there Darwin was a pompis prick! The theory should not be applied to languages! Also they say Latin is a dead language but we use it in Medicine and Anthropology so shut your mouth! And Thanks to the Wind Talkers if you even know who they were and what they did they saved our asses and they speak a diffrent language and helped us out so shut the hell up moron!! Maybe you should stick to your beer and corn nuts and leave the actual thinking to people with brains!
Haha, just goes to show that he cant speak his own language. Im not saying now that all Americans are stupid BUT 90% of you dont know geography and some cant spell. And forcing someone to speak your language just because they live in your country? LOL!
No, we just first have to round them all up and send them back and then stop them from being in our country, I mean if Hitler could do it, so could we.
It was his little pussy mustache. He should have gone all Rollie Fingers, and grown an handlebar mustache. Then, we’d all be oppressed and speaking German.
Actually, Godwin’s Law (aka “As an online discussion continues, the probability of someone being compared to Hitler or the Nazis approaches one.” {becomesMORE likely}) *does* apply, but here’s the kicker – that’s ALL it talks about; it doesn’t decree that “conversation dead” or even ‘nothing productive will come of it’.
Have you been to Mexico? even the worst jobs here in the states are better than what a uneducated Mexican can find in Mexico. Mexico is a sick racist country run by rich Spaniards who don’t give a rats a** for their indigineous people. They have to work on Saturdays for 1/2 a day in addition to the 5 days we normally work. I used to see them sitting around waiting for their pay, lots of times the bosses just would not show up and they would lose a weeks wages. NO protection for the workers in that sick-o country.
–> we aren’t a sick country, the goverment is the sick one…
–> and there’s a detail… the workers are most likely to loose many weeks, minimum 2, cause here we’re paid every two weeks [i don't know how are you there]…. but most of the times the workers have to wait MONTHS to be paid…
—> for “ema”all problems have their origins in the stops and walls that are set to those who want to change our f***ing situation…
but i second also Sandragoras [whose name its better than mine ]… your government many times is as bad as ours… i mean… yeah! you have better education, better tv access, better book access, better medical services, etc… but at least ours doesn’t attack other countries “for its freedom” and that kind of things… just my point of view…
and i think it would be better if you us citizens try to undestand the immigrants… most of them are working… and deserve the services they demand… just get it… the latins keep your basic economy system running
Hey, I have an idea, why doesn’t your country try to understand the immigrants? Why not educate and create jobs for them, in your country? Instead of creating comic books that tell them how to get over here in the desert where they will most surely die. They won’t have to bother with English. Mexico needs roads and infrastructure, you could have a booming tourist economy since your country is so beautiful if your government would crack down on the corruption and kidnappings.
youre right in that way… its strange that thing of the comics xD
but seriously i’m sorry… i didnt mean you have to maintain them
we have serious problems here, that’s why people goes away…
were advancing… but not at the velocity we need to…
the actual generation of politicians needs to be replaced… the youngest are tired of all this crap. hope we will find better ways… right now i’m 17… wait people like me to grow… and there will be important modifications
YOU ARE AN ASS HOLE!!! Hitler was wrong and discusting and he lost because of his own stupidity dumb ass! Maybe you should retake history and actually try to use that little brain of yours! You might learn something!
Everyone does it… I’m just brave enough to come out of the ‘replying to your own comment closet’ It makes no sense to change the name just to look cooler… suck me and mine.
Reminds me of the famous ‘moran’ sign. And of divorced heterosexual adulterers who believe that gay marriage somehow cheapens the ’sanctity’ of marriage.
Hey. Only divorced middle-aged adulterers can TRULY appreciate how special marriage is. Because when they were out getting tranny booty calls, that… he-she-it whatever didn’t make them breakfast in bed!! only WIVES do that!! therefore….
I didn’t think it cheapens sanctity. I thought it changes the meaning. Silly me for taking things the way the dictionary describes.
Besides, what does divorced heterosexual adulterers have to do with an idiot who doesn’t know how to spell? I must have been sleeping when that segue happened.
Homosexuality is abnormal psychology.It exists simply because it is different, taboo, or abnormal.Homosexuality is the effort of someone under intense inner conflict to find peace, or fulfill an emotional void……Much like drugs and alcohol. No one is “born” gay……..Homosexuality is learned behavior….Our society has simply allowed it to be accepted as we have lost sensitivity to its exsistence…
Because obviously gay people LOVE to picked on daily…yeah…that’s filling a void nicely. You need to hush. You definately have you doctorate in psycho nailed. Go away.
Judging from your comment you seem to have an anal fixation…….
You seem the type that has sat upon a frozen vegetable or two (frozen for added sensation)….I’m going to speculate you learned that behavior on a coke binge….You seem the type.
those with their noses up in the air will fall flat on their faces….
Judging a person by saying they are doing something nasty that YOU thought of? “Added Sensation”?! How would you know? Where oh where did you come up with that, if you are such a pure human being?
I guess this guy belongs to those amererican tourists who start talking English in a foreign country and take for granted, that everybody understands him…
… or to those who don’t give a shit about the rest of the world and never leave their island.
Winning in the Cold War is like Winning in a Spelling Bee. Sure, You’ve accomplished something amazing…but still you’re going to be beaten up for it later.
Huge debt yes, but rather then pay it off we will just keep giving money and support to smaller country’s that are to lame to make it on their own. Why does everyone hate America?
to be honest
i think it cuz of the way the country’s self rightness image
invasion of country’s that haven’t attacked you
illegal treatment of prisoners
how it can do what it likes to whom ever
but if some one fights back you will annihilate they if need be.
Iraq had no WMD
they stole the country’s entire wealth and killed there leader
it was Iraq’s job to sort out there country
Iraq had no terrorism untill the USA destroyed there country
and now it will have for ever
Iraq was never linked to 9-11
osarmar bin-laden hated Saddam
they were never a team.
its sad that thing can not change untill the USA losses it power over the weak
we all may pay the price for US forgine policy
Iran is next, i think if you do attack it will be on for all.
you are going to attacker them because they feel they have the right to defend them selves. thats not wright
I had assumed this comment was a joke but then I remembered where I was.
Maybe they hate us because people can graduate high school without ever learning grammar or spelling. If English isn’t your first language then keep at it.
Unfortunately, I think he just can’t spell, and his grammar is naturally horrible. Typical uneducated slacker brit. You’ll see his posts in other threads, and it’s clear he’s a moron. But that doesn’t stop his hatred for America, where we have the greatest freedom and prosperity in the world.
Spelling and grammer aside, he isn’t exactly wrong.
Yes, America may have the “greatest freedomand prosperity in the world”, as staded above, but that dosn’t excuse our attempt to force our ways of life on others. If Iraq had attacked us, that would have given us the right to defend ourselves, but as the agressor in this conflict, we’ve only made ourselves the ‘bad guys’ in the eyes of every other country. Thats why others hate us, for being self-rightous idiots.
( and no, for the record, I don’t hate america, I live here and wouldn’t want to live elsewhere. I just don’t agree with the government/military’s actions)
your prison rate has doubled in the past 10 years
your country is the the worst debt in it history
you have poor or no free medical- the lowest minimal wage of the developed countrys.
your not doing as well as you think
while america is supposed to stand for freedom rightousness and helping out the little guy … they have fogotten this and become greedy i won’t mention the gulf war as a fault because i think that overthrowing a horrible tyrant is a good thing it just went a bit wrong. but america has the biggest difference between rich and poor than the entire western world, the poor can’t aford helthcare and mexican imigrants work for ford at a rate of $1 a day when america has the highest AVERAGE annual income. Also there is an american military base near me and they keep force buying local houses at less than market value for thier soldiers to live in they also wanted to close a main road for “security reasons”.
you can harly say that Brits are uneducaded, i mean what age do you start school well in case you can’t count that high i’ll tell you 6 now in Brittain we start school at 4 (which comes before 6). This also comes from a country where smart people are shunned by society and called “nerds”. in the UK and I’m sure most other countries being called stupid, thick, blockhead, dolt, ect is offencive. As for this kid’s spelling and grammar it’s the internet – nobody cares except really picky annoying people, and anyway this kid might have dyslexia which is a common dissorder in Brittain (incase thats too long a word for you it means you can’t read or write properly because you get letters mixed up)
I’d like to point out that I’m an American. I dislike the
fact that so many people hate us, And that our country is
slowly being overrun by illegal immigrants. I recently read
a study about how if all of the illegal immigrants would leave
the lower class of Americans would be able to fill in those
jobs. If they could get those jobs, they could possibly afford
Health-Care services. That solves 2 problems with one stone.
The illegals need to leave.
All I got to say “rob chris” is that Austraila is where all the countries dumped their prisoners a few centuries ago so get off your high horse! And dolt we start preschool at 3-4years of age!
OMG! Just realised the “(Comments wont nest..)”. It should read “won’t”. Wont is habit or custom: “As is his wont”. Typical illiterate IT person supporting a website. LOL!
As for other countries hating us, I could care less! Those are the countries we disregard as impertinent. We have the highest standard of living in the world, and that’s all that matters! I do agree with the poster above that laments the fact that we are being overrun by illegals, but we’ve about had our bellyfull of that shit, and it’s going to stop soon.
But do they teach one how to use capitalization? It’s funny; you are as ignorant in this failthread as you were in the previous failthread. Epic, across-the-thread fail.
You did realize as soon as you said that someone would break the streak. It’s like a perfect game in baseball – don’t talk about it or it won’t happen.
I recall my freshman US Government instructor reading a news article to the class about people being stopped at the border of the US to be searched for drugs. The article said that black people were (some percentage) more likely to be stopped. He remarked, “why didn’t they say African-Americans? That’s not very P.C. is it??”
The class erupted into a debate about why black people need to be called African-Americans versus a couple of black girls saying that the newspaper was disrespectful for NOT saying “African-American” instead of “black”.
I managed to wedge in with, “I heard this crazy rumor somewhere… I don’t remember the source though… that they have black people in other countries too! Like, in the UK and Brazil and stuff.”
(30 and being forced to take US Government with a bunch of 17-year-olds just to complete a freshman-level requirement that they don’t think I had in my OTHER three degrees? fail.)
The blacks in Brazil are also Afro-Americans and were also brought to America as slaves. The US isn’t the only country with large parts of the populace being decendants of African slaves.
Just call them blacks… or you call call them brownies, but that sounds even more offensive (especially because they usually stink just like an other brown object)
I feel your pain.
Good comment to your geographically-challenged classmates though. Maybe they don’t realise there are many other landmasses on earth other than North America (and Africa)….
sorry, I live in Oklahoma. We don’t speak no injun here.
Oklahoma, the desolate godforsaken place we sent all the Native Americans when they got all upset that we were … you know, “stealing their land” or whatever… please, we gave them the WHOLE STATE of Oklahoma!!! Who wouldn’t like Oklahoma!?! Anyway, Oklahoma is trying to pass a law to make English the official state language.
Good, as a “native” Oklahoman, I’m sure your great-great-grandmother was a fullblood Cherokee princess, and you can tell us AS A NATIVE that genocide is okey-dokey hunky-dorey! Yay! White liberals rest at ease! Vote McCain, he has a good plan for relocating some villages up in northern Arizona. Oh wait, no, we were taught in history that genocide happenED – PAST tense. So McCain couldn’t be doing it today. And the state of Oklahoma couldn’t be continuing it today, too. Which is good, because otherwise I would have to think that the Conoco refinery up in Ponca City, the refusal to license Osage language teachers, the continuing use of race to pit people in Northeastern Oklahoma against members of their own tribe (“divide and conquer”, “crabs in a bucket”, typical colonialism), the continuing use of “trust status” to break up land into useless, individually titled subportions, eventually to be sold to white people or the state, were all examples of ONGOING genocide. Glad we cleared that up.
But who will clean your dishes in restaurants, who will mop the floors and who will run your food from the restaurant kitchen to the server? I’m sure whiteboy in the picture won’t do it. Too bad for whiteboy as well that Mexicans speak the most widely spoken language in the world – that would be Spanish. But I suppose if you never leave the borders of your own redneck town you don’t have to worry too much about the fact that English isn’t the world’s number one language. General knowledge and basic grammar: FAIL.
I realized that this guy looks almost exactly like the president of our Homeowner’s Association… only this guy’s a bit older. I wonder if this guy is our HOA president’s dad. That would explain a lot.
I was under the impression that more people speak the Mandarin dialect of the Chinese languages than any other language in the world. Someone needs to write to the Guiness World’s Record people.
While I support your comment, you are wrong, English *is* the most widely spoken language in the world (about 2.2 billion people speak English at least as a second language). This is followed by Mandarin and Hindi (each about 1.1 billions) leaving Spanish in the 3rd place (about 480 million people speaking Spanish if memory serves me).
only 30% of the worlds population can speak any English
Mandarin is the most widly spoken first language
English is the official internation language of trade
there food for thought for both sides of the argument
2) Mexicans ARE Americans. Citizens of all the countries in North America and South America are Americans. Are all these people supposed to boycott Mexico?
3) What good will it do to boycott Mexico? Will the Mexican government be able to put pressure on people who don’t even live there?
Yeah!!!! Like candy with lead in it and tainted white cheese made in some shack and smuggled across the border like dope. Happy botulism…Merry lead poisoning!
It’s very simple to understand….What is being said here is that with all the mexicans on failblog, somewhere there is field full of fruit that isn’t being picked.
Well, despite the spelling error (or perhaps more accurately stating the word error ) of that man…why can’t people respect the language of the country they go to? If any American goes on vacation to non-English speaking countries–they won’t cater to us. We just look stupid (which isn’t that hard to do some of the time) and helpless.
Meh, I mean, how do you expect to survive in a country if you can’t even speak or read in that language?
what do you mean ‘they won’t cater to us’?? As in, they expect you to speak the language of the country you’re visiting? And if so, isn’t that what you are asking non-English speakers to do in your country?
Yes, that is exactly what she is saying. Why is it not ok for us to expect English from “international visitors” when other countries expect it from us?
I have traveled enough to know that if you don’t speak at least some of the host countries language when you travel then you are pretty much out of luck.
Then no, you haven’t travelled much. Unless of course, by saying you’ve “travelled enough to know” you mean you’ve only travelled to English speaking countries, then yes, they do expect you to speak their language…
I’ve been to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and a lot of other European countries, and what have I learned from my travels?No one speaks my native native language, Danish. What makes it worse is that in some of these countries, mainly France, Italy and Spain, speaking English to them is a quite bothersome endeavour. France is probably the worst in regards to that. Either you speak to them in French, which according to my experiences they don’t understand (or I don’t speak), or you speak to them in English, which they sorta understand a little… but not enough to communicate most of the time.
if you go to a resort or tourist place, then yeah, there are going to be people who speak English. However, if you go to any normal area, you’re not likely to find anyone who will understand you.
When I cruse to Mexico I can communicate just fine to the nice people /offering me cheap souvenirs and beer. What non English speaking country’s do you go to
define how far you go… our nothern states are kinda “americanized” [using your habbit to name the US "america"]… for example… tijuana, mexicali cities… cd. juarez, matamoros…
if you go inner… i doubt you’d get more than strange looks at you when you scream “i want a BEER!!!!”
i don’t know most of the workers in Brittish telephone centres speak the little known language of gobledigook … and the rest just spek incredibly formal business language which is difficult to a) take in and b) understand
An American wants to travel to a foreign country, for the first time in his life. He wants to go to Germany, but is afraid that nobody will understand him. But the guy at the travel agency says, no problem, just speak slowly and they’ll understand you.
So he’s off to Germany and goes into a Pub right after the arrives:
“O n e b e e r , p l e a s e.”
He gets a beer.
Cool. So he sits there when the guy next sais:
“H a v e y o u t r i e d t h e w i n e?”
So he orders a wine, speaking really slowly, and he gets one.
So he and the guy talk a bit, an after some time he asks:
“W h e r e a r e y o u f r o m?”
“A t l a n t a”
“H o w’ s t h a t – m e t o o!”
“W e l l, c o o l – t h e n w e c a n f i n a l l y s t o p t o s p e a k G e r m a n.”
Ye’d be wise not to speak o’ pirates less ye be headed out to safer waters…..
They be pirates ere’ and they sail in search of fresh booty to pillage………..
Ye be warned…….>0<
Too bad he’s not speaking/writing English. Proves once again that things are backward in the Universe: it takes a test to get a license to drive, but nothing is required to breed like rats. Only in America, where you’re free to be as stupid as you wish, with little or no repercussions. Grammar? “2 elitist 4 U”.
And it’s just soooo cool to bash Americans and America huh? And you want to be just like all your cool friend, just like any teenager does. Don’t worry, when you get older you will understand all about peer pressure and you will be able to make you own decisions about countries and people. Maybe in 7 or 8 years…
Indeed it is fun to make fun of Americans. I’m American and I do it ALL THE TIME. Americans are essentially the scum of the Earth. We’re renowned for our poor educational system, our leaders, and our enormous egos. The only country worse than us is France.
You are really brilliant, what a way you have with words. I am sure your country men will change immediately because of the way you gently encouraged them to change! Good job! Tell me are you 10 or 11? You just seem to know so much.
Thank you, I humbly accept your harsh words as compliments. I’m always happy to offer my cynicism to anyone who doesn’t ask. I’m actually 24, and yes, I am this much of a jerk on a regular basis. You would be surprised at how often realism is mistaken for immaturity. It’s true though, America is not well-liked, especially since the start of the war. I have actually been around the world and have gathered my opinion based off of thousands of interviews. The stereotypical American in other countries is rude, obnoxious, obese, promiscuous, and has an over-inflated ego. It’s similar to how we have stereotypes about the Irish drinking, or the Germans eating sauerkraut, or the French being unkempt cheese-eaters.
As for my France comment, France is generally the most hated country throughout the UK.
And if you want further information, I should have my book out in about 2 years. It’s a detailed log of my journeys throughout the world and how America’s reputation precedes it. “Uhmareihka,” coming to stores in 2010, maybe 11, depending on various things.
Yes, my country might be hated throughout the world, mostly hate based on missinformation and from ignorant people who have never been here. It is a “hate America” fest out there right now and there is no reason for it except it is a popular fad. We are not perfect, but no one in any country should point the finger. How well we are liked has nothing to do with anything as far as I’m concerned. But, glad to here you are writing a book, good luck to you.
Well, maybe it’s us pointing the finger that gets us into trouble in first place. After the way Bush and crew of functional retards have treated the rest of the world (and particularly some of our closest allies) it is hard to see how anybody could not be pissed at us right now.
We do have a track record of being obnoxious bastards that belittle anybody who does not live in the greatest freest country god has ever created on the face of the earth. That, however, is perhaps not the smartest idea for a country that started a war in everybody’s face on grounds that were not only disingenuous (WMDs) but downright moronic (Saddam’s supposed links to terrorism). Even worse to have a presidential candidate who defends that mess and is not subject of constant public ridicule.
Your vitriolic reaction to even the tiniest polemic towards the US doesn’t help much, either. Right now it would be possibly a good idea to eat humble pie and to try to fix the mess, even if we as individuals have not contributed to creating it.
Ye be all hanged in the eyes of the demons that darken the soul…….We feast on the crimson nectar ye drip from yer deadlights as the hempen harness chokes the flame o’ yer heart…..There be no home like the sullen depths o’ the sea for the damned with whom we sail…..Shame be to ye all……>0<
Don’t know why people so easily buy into these “America is hated all over the world” and “American are scum” memes.
.
How in the hell would you know something like that?
You read a survey or poll somewhere, liked what it “revealed” and adopted that little nugget of data into your brainframe without applying critical thought.
.
So many people from other countries are so “hateful” of America and Americans that they are leaving their respective countries in droves just for a shot to live here. Such is their naked hate of the Great Satan that there is a backlog of hundreds of thousands of would-be immigrants waiting to get in.
.
All over the world people enjoy American films, music, TV, technology, and a list of manufactured products too numerous to name. Many non-American youth dress like Americans, adopt their slang and hairstyles. With America’s weaker dollar, foreigners are flocking to America for holidays. Doesn’t sound like there’s an overwhelming hate for America outside her shores, does there?
.
You probably get off on America bashing because you believe it makes you sound intelligent, adult, independent or rebellious. That’s usually the mark of the young. Some, like aging hippies, may never break out of this juvenile mentality, and remain in a perpetual state of arrested development. They constantly go on about their victimhood and how others are always responsible for their own problems.
.
Sounds like every adolescent I’ve ever seen.
.
Let’s use ema’s calculus:
You say you’re 24 and ema calculates (generously IMO) you’ll grow out of your pupae stage in 7 or 8 years. That means that at age 32, you might (MIGHT) reconsider focusing so heavily on America’s faults and instead appreciate how much better others’ views of your country really is.
.
Fine. That’s young enough to not turn into an eternally angry, aging, cynical hipster. If you go past 40, that’s truly sad, like virgin-always-lived-in-mom’s-basement sad.
.
DISCLAIMER
Despite the mode on this blog to keep things light and nasty, like a roomful of monkeys with typewriters who fling p–p at every opportunity, I’m not actually trying to slap you down. But American America-bashers is a total FAILmeme that serves no good, effects no positive change and serves only to assuage the egos of those who need to be constantly critical yet can’t (or won’t) put forth a plan of positive progress.

Aren’t we little miss contradiction?
Getting pissy at people for making assumptions and false conclusions about america, when you are doing the exact same about younger people.
Yes I am 16 before you begin with me aswell.
Adults also are pressured by their peers, peer pressure is not just an adolescent thing. I would also like to point out that sarcasm is funny, intelligent and sometimes cool, but only used in moderation, not an entire paragraph.
Maybe if you tone down the bitch people might take you seirously.
On the other hand, I do agree with you. America is not entirely a shit hole, it does have some good points I’m sure. I’m not going to act like an expert or anything but there is also alot of…..well lets just say in general alot of bad things about America aswell. Stressing alot.
I’m iffy on that. I admit, it does seem strange that the bottom one shows no shadow or image of the other poster. But you have to give credit for whoever did this. The wood for the poster is visible, along with a nail. There is also the shadow of the interior of the car visible. If it is photoshopped, they did a good job. It just doesn’t make sense that they would forget about the physics. They had everything else right. Also, the handwriting is the exact same on both signs. Who knows?
*boycott Mexico=FAIL. To make an impoverished country poorer would mean more immigration from there to here, so if Genius wants the wabs to stay away, the better idea would be to make Mexico richer (well, that and massive political and economic reform)
*”respect are country”= the obvious grammar and usage of words in context FAIL
*holding the picket sign from inside the car = Lazy bastard fail and/or courage-of-convictions fail
great! another litter of mexican children that will run wild in public places because their underage mothers are too busy, being children, to watch them.
You’ve clearly never been in any number of WalMarts to see how true that is of almost every ethnic group. It’s the overcooked dregs of the melting pot. Vacant cow-eyed adults drifting inattentively from one aisle to the next as if they’re going to spot some product from 100 yards away by staring in the opposite direction while their soon-to-be-diabetic kids who weigh 100 lbs at age 8 scamper mindlessly in all directions wrecking whatever merchandise the darling little bowling balls happen to crash into and manage to leave a sugary film coating everything in their path like snail trails. If the economy did not suck the way it does, i’d never set foot in one, but i go where i can afford to shop
Que chistoso… fuiste a Latinoamerica alguna vez? A pesar que la ortografia es mucho mas simple que la del ingles (basicamente escribes como hablas) hay letreros como “vicicletero” en la calle. La mayoria de la gente tambien usa “c”, “z” y “s” como les da la gana. En España es algo mejor, pero tampoco es para tanto.
IPG, Voy a corregirte un poco: Que chistoso – te falta el acento en qué… Ortografía, Inglés, más, básicamente, mayoría, también… TODAS LLEVAN ACENTO. No me vayas a decir que tu teclado no los escribe… ¡¡¡cómprate uno nuevo!!!
Okay…Let’s try this.How do you say, “Meet me at the illegal rooster fights and I’ll show you where we are building the methlab outside town.”in spanish?
Y? Tal como a 99% de la poblacion hispanohablante los acentos nunca me importaron – si Word los pone bien, si no, bien tambien. De hecho me gusta la relacion un tanto relajada que muchos de habla española tienen. Solo que no digan que no cometen faltas de ortografia.
¿Y quién te dijo a ti que el tal “vicicletero” ese fue a la escuela? Déjense de mierda elitista y bájense de la maldita nube de que todas las personas en este cabrón mundo han tenido la oportunidad de ir a la escuela y aprender las reglas gramaticales.
Well, you are aware that you are posting on a site that makes fun of an ignorant for not being able to write his own language? The guy probably has spent some time in school, but not very successfully – just like the bike repairman. Does posting on this site make you an elitist?
It doesn’t matter what differences there are between Spanish and English, nor does it matter if Mexicans ever become the majority in the USA: you’ll still serve our burgers and mow our lawns.
And you don’t know what we put in your burgers, and if José is really “lawnmowing” while you are at work… If you have one, of course… I mean a job, ha, ha, ha!!!
And to all of you losers who still believe that the current brand of Americans stole North America from the Native Americans, I don’t know whether to pity you or get pissed off, all I can tell you is, don’t put too much faith in that public school education you got. Maybe you could actually talk to an Indian and see what they think about it. Ask the Sioux about their relationship with the Kiowa. Idiots.
RedWhiteAndBoom – Psst! Your ignorance is showing. Your first sentence is a run-on sentence and you failed to make a point. Perhaps you should take a class before spewing your mouth off about education. I’ll bet you barely finished high school. You must live in a square state. Is that you in the passenger seat of the car?
Pardon, but the “current brand of Americans” ARE Native. If you’re not, then maybe you should go back to the starved, diseased shithole you came from. You know, that continent where you had no rights, and figured you could come here and commit genocide to cope with the scars?
Or if you really like it hear, learn Kiowa, or a member language of the Stoney-Assiniboine-Lakhota-Dakota continuum. Oh, you probably don’t live in that part of the country, anyway, probably got your racist shit from a public school education or your daddy. You certainly didn’t get it from “talk[ing] to an Indian”, moron.
I have a feeling this will get ripped apart, but whatever. If I were to ever move to a country permanently, I would learn the native language. And no, I have never left the States because of monetary issues. If I were to travel I would find translation books for traveling (helping out with menus, getting a room, basic phrases.) I am not presumptuous enough to think that if I were to visit another country that everyone will be able to understand me.
I do my best with the education I recieved, and now I fear the reason education continues to decline is ill parenting and a rise of anti-intellectualism in our country. It’s so much easier to play dumb than to put some effort into anything, let alone education. I admit our children these days would rather be entertained that educated. But not all families are like that.
I resent the constant ridicule because I do not sit around all day with my twinkies and McD’s like someone mentioned in another thread this week. Nor do I refuse to engage in bettering myself when it comes to learning about other cultures, which I admit is hard without the first-hand traveling experience. I do, however, love the internet because I get to meet people and ask them personally about the news event from their own countries, without the filtering and bias of the media. Not that I am learning a lot here with all the boorish behavior. Besides that everyone here hates us, and they are sooo mature when they state their reasons why.
Get off my back. I’m sorry there are illiterate fools in “are-country.” I will not take responsibility for this chump, and I don’t think any of you will for your own country’s “morans.” I am only sorry because he has most likely reproduced by now.
Karma nothing. If nothing. WHEN you go to Mexico, you try working illegally, demanding free education and health care all in English and see what happens to you. And then those people come here and demand it of us? I’ve got nothing against Mexican people or their culture–same can be said of any culture around the world–it’s the legality and the hypocrisy of the thing.
Blip blop bleep bloop we are criminals by nature because that is how we survive in our own country bleep brgle brgle bloop sphttt
spittle sploop we expect to come to America and live the way we do in BFE mexico gloop glurgle glip glop we encourage underage sex and use of narcotics
biggle biggle bloop splerp.
Ok… I’ve been thinking long and hard about what to post here after reading everything.
To the main topic, which is that this moron’s poor grammar when trying to protest Mexican’s immigrating (legally or illegally, neither is specified) into the United States of America. It’s ironic, but I feel the truth is that most citizens of the USA can’t read or write their own native language with a high degree of fluency. This despite that, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the literacy rate in the United States is near 99%. However, having seen our education system, I find hard this hard to believe.
Maybe they consider a third-grade reading level to be adequate, but it’s difficult to say without being able to read their findings. Either way, this is another reason that the argument against immigration is flawed. To the man with sign, I say this: you can’t read and write the language proficiently either, retard.
To the topic of immigration: God bless the melting pot. I’m all for immigration. If you think you can achieve a more successful life and be productive citizens, then, by all means, feel welcomed to do so… but do it legally.
As to illegal immigration: U.S. Code : Title 8 : Section 1325, says “Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.”
I think that’s pretty clear cut. We consider it illegal for foreign people to enter our country without going through the proper procedures.
Now to root of why I believe we HAVE a problem with illegal immigrants: the minimum wage. Now hear me out. Economically, it works like this.
Let’s say you have a job that requires no skills. That job will have the lowest level of pay based on the principle that skilled labor is a scarcer commodity then unskilled labor. If a commodity is scarce, the price for that commodity is higher. I digress.
Inflation is inevitable in the modern world. As inflation increases, the cost of living increases. As the cost of living increases, those people who are unskilled laborers feel the brunt of it first. Some complain that their job doesn’t pay enough to subsist off of. As usually is the case, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
The problem is that when the minimum wage increases, businesses must increase cost to cover increased wages, thereby fueling further inflation. Further, this doesn’t account for the roughly 15% of people on welfare that never try to climb out of it (though, to be fair, for the 85% that do, I applaud you). When wages continue to rise, it is unfortunate that, as often happens in what appear to be successful societies, an additional sub-class is needed. In the case of the United States, this is USUALLY via undocumented, illegal immigrants. Not always, mind you, but usually.
I also think it’s a fallacy to think that a large percentage of violent crimes are committed by illegal immigrants. Most of these people come here looking for a chance to at least earn an honest living, work a lot harder than most anyone I know and get paid less to do it.
The point that I’m trying to make is that most people who immigrate LEGALLY to the United States DO learn the language. Most who don’t are not required to, and, in some cases, are preferred by their employers to not better themselves. As harsh as that may sound, and I’m not suggesting I support the practice, this is the way things work.
I don’t believe that a multi-lingual USA will make anything better. We need to be masters of our own language first.
Thanks for reading this far… this is your weekly opus by the Fahz, stating out social issues in a forum a very small percentage of the world will ever read.
Thanks for the irrelevant wall of words that nobody read. Hope it didn’t take too long to type that little tome, because, GUESS WHAT? NOBODY GIVES A RAT’S ASS WHAT YOU THINK!
Actually, I’d call that a Herculean effort considering he’s illiterate. It must have taken him 4 hours to punch that in and then figure out how to deliver it across the electronic tubenet.
mucho gusto me llamo Bradley I’m hornier than Ron Jeremy
and if you wanna get popped in your knee
just wipe that look off your fat face
you hate me cause I got what you need
a pretty little daughter that we call mixie
if you wanna get beat psychically… it will be over in a minute if ya..
so she told me to come over and I took that trip
and then she pulled out my mushroom tip
and when it came out it went drip drip drip
I didn’t know she had that GI Joe kung-fu grip
chorus: (repeat)
and it went uuh caress me down
uhh and that’s the lovin’ sound
when I kiss mixie it makes me feel horny
cause I’m the type of lover with the sensitivity
when she kiss my neck and tickle me fancy
she give me the right kind of love on Sunday morning
en otro lado es donde viví con mijita que se llama mixie
y su hermana si me quiere
y ahorita tenemos un bebé
sus padres sus padres me trataron matar
but they did not get to far
un poco después tuve que regresar
con un chingo de dinero cuz you know I’m a star
yo fui a Costa Rica para comer y sufriar

Pon la nalga en el aire if you know who you are
con el nalga en el aire empieza gritar
no tenga miedo I’m your papí
take your chones y los manden a mí
levanta levanta tienes que gritar
levanta levanta tienes que bailar
chorus (repeat)
and the girls caressed me down
and that’s the lovin’ sound
Hell, the way i see it, until Mexicans start rounding you up, moving you to shitty land and then taking your kids, sticking them in boarding schools and forcibly converting them to another religion and actively punishing them for speaking English, most of you folks don’t have a damned thing to complain about.
What the hell.
The issue on this picture is that the man is full of shit. If he’s going to accuse Mexicans of not knowing how to speak English, he should make the effort to spell it properly himself.
I live in a place where people are expected to be fluent in two languages. Personally I’d like to learn more. If you move to a country, you should try to learn the official language. It’s a simple question of respect.
There are idiots and hypocrites everywhere. Everything/everyone should be dealt with in a case by case basis. Intentional retardation is a worldwide problem. It should be stopped.
Don’t get to excited about non-English speakers living in the United States. As much as we (the U.S.) owes China, soon we’ll all have to learn to speak Chinese.
All i have to say is not everyone that looks mexican is mexican. I am colombian and trinidadian, and i have to hear this shit all day; moreover, i only speak english lol. Also i have known a dutch person, a german/japanese person, a white/japanese, a filipino/white person, and filipinos themselves to get confused with mexicans. Furthermore to the mexicans, stop assuming every mexican looking person speaks spanish, and do not get mad when they can not understand you. Its really annoying shit
I just wanted to add something. When people (tourists) coming from the USA (I would never call them ‘Americans’, that would include Canadians or Argentinians, eugh) go to… say… France, they always expect the locals to speak English. Do they know France is NOT in the UK? Sometimes I think they don’t.
So please, Étasuniens (US nationals in French), don’t give Mexicans lessons about respecting your country if most of you can’t do the same when you visit a non-English speaking country, that’d be FAILbulous.
I’m not an american, and nor do I hate america. I think its government has made some bad decisions, but it is people like in this picture that give americans their bad reputation. It really is sad to see.
USA country is nothing more but conglomerate of many nations after slaughter of native Indians . Typical american is mongrel so I dont understand they hate to people from other countres lives in States.
It’s o.k. to say “Come caca” = “eat shit”, but never ever say “Come (mi) culo”. In Mexico it is an insult to oneself, and everybody is going to laugh at you. Be very, very careful with us mexicans and our “albures”. Go to wikipedia to find out what I am referring to.
Sorry if I made one or two orthographic mistakes. In Mexico we write english once in a while… but believe me: the must of us can speak it. Ha, ha, ha!
Yes in the “barrio” spanish is the most spoken second language.
You know the “barrio” where the chickens and broken down cars sprout up like crabgrass.
Of course you do, you would need to speak english to have any type of employment besides construction, house cleaning or landscaping. That is why everyone speaks english, it is the language of commerce. So, what is the drive for anyone in US to speak any other language? Except of course for fun if one has the time to learn.
I suppose he’s in the car for a fast getaway~
he has to be… otherwise the illegal mexicans would kill him, I mean to force someone to change their language to the language of the country their living in…
“the country their living in” = using they’re properly fail
Not singly quoting ‘they’re’ when ridiculing someone’s comment = fail.
It’s actually win. Incorrect fail detection fail
Hmmm…Double negative?
You meant:
‘they\’re’
Escaped character fail.
All of you fail – single quotes are used inside double quotes only!
It should be as follows: “they’re”.
Is this picture on Engrish?
YOU ARE JUST FULL OF SHIT, MEXICANS RESPECTS YOUR COUNTRY A LOT MORE THAN IDIOT AMERICANS DO, JUST LIKE THAT ASSHOLE ON THAT CAR
*sigh* Lighten up.
“just like that asshole on the car” = incorrect preposition = FAIL
grammer catching is so kool, I bet you gets all the ladiez becasue of how gooderly you is at it: yes? I bet you are so perficts at everythings.
Grammar IS the joke.
WhocareS?… I’d have to say that your comment is a fail, you massively missed the whole point of this…
you ruined your point, and your just disgracing yourself
Doesn’t anyone realize that we all live in North America. Mexico, Canada, and the United States are all part of North America, therefore we are all Americans.
“americans” includes south america
the country they’re living in speaks in majority Spanish… so… why dont the English speaking Americans just switch to that language? xD
Because we’re clearly having enough trouble keeping up with English. Switching languages would only make it worse.
LOL. Yes, let’s suck at two languages at once!
Ya know???? Like I suck two penises at once.
while were at it lets suck at french for the canadians!
Because English was the most-spoken language when the country was founded and should stay that way. Anyone who lives in the US and doesn’t speak English should try to learn at least the basics, just like anyone going to any country should try to learn the basics of their primary language. It’s common sense, really.
and have you tried to learn a foreign language? its harder then you think stop being so ignorant
It is not that difficult to learn a little bit of the language. It is not hard to learn how to say a few basic phrases in order to try and communicate.
Ya in Mexico almost everybody knows at least more than 1 language, but the ones that goes illegally to united states are the ignorant that think they can have a life without studying.
For example I´m in Mexico and I´m Mexican and I know,read and speak 4 languages; I´m still in school and I also learned the basics for mandarin but I forgot them xD
Obviously, you can’t even speak one language, so do try and back off. First off, the “A” should be capitalized in “and,” that entire sentence is merely a fragment, the “i” in “its” should be capitalized, “then” should be “than,” and there should be either a semicolon or a period in between “think” and “stop.” You also missed either a period or an exclamation point at the end of your post. Learning a language is not that difficult; it requires time set aside along with constant practice. With this, I was able to learn Japanese in about 3 years.
3 years is a lot….fail
3 years with a shitty Japanese teacher who didn’t actually teach. I consider it an accomplishment, albeit a rather pathetic one.
i learned japanese in 5th grade
however after moving the american public school system has dumbed me down to the point were i cant capatalize or spell properly
Actually Japanese is one of the hardest languages in the world.
not if you’re japanese. elaboration fail.
Actually, the Japanese written language is difficult even for the Japanese.
And you are proficient in how many foreign languages?
Also, “it’s” is “it is”.
The possessive form of “it” is “its”.
The first sentence is actually a sentence:
“and have you tried to learn a foreign language?”
We have subject and predicate… though, of course, in formal writing we’d need to capitalize the first letter of the sentence.
“try and” = grammatical fail
Fail! Who cares if the grammar is correct as long as you can understand them?
we have it horrible here… maybe the E.T’s will leave now that taxes have gone up 12%…
crazy grammatically correct showoff elitists!!!
If they don’t want to learn the language, then they have no basis for complainint about:
1) How they can’t get a job
2) How no one understands what they heck they want/need.
It’s not about being ignorant of the difficulty of the language. Our ass-backwards society wants 300 million people to learn every new language instead of each individual learning the language of the masses. It shouldn’t be the burden of those who are here to accomodate every newcomer. It’s the newcomer’s responsibility to adapt to the new environment, or suffer the consequences and social isolation. Plain and simple.
Agreed, that does not mean we don’t want to learn other languages as many of us already do. I have a friend who lives here who came from Mexico, she had an office job over there but since she cannot speak english she has to clean houses. I can speak to her in spanish but she is having trouble learning english because there is so much supoort for her to keep speaking spanish. The TV, the church, everywhere you shop they have bilingual people and the extended family. Well, that’s good I guess but she will have to keep cleaning houses until she learns english which is a shame since she has skills.
Yes, she apparently has skills to clean houses. And speak nothing but Spanish. Society integration fail.
Fine, but getting so worked up about it that you actually drive around
with a giant cardboard sign about it is just plain retarded.
Skatcatla: Getting-to-the-heart-of-the-issue-win!
Okay, let’s look at YOUR note:
1. “Complainint” — Are you trying to say “complaining,” or “complaint?”
2. “How” should be “Why” in both items;
3. Item 1 should be followed by a semicolon, since it is a part of your list of
complainints (sic);
4. And finally, your appalling display of the “Ugly American” attitude, your gratuitous use of profanity, and your apparent pride in being a “know-nothing” rates this
note as a “fail.”
Well, yeah, actually, I’ve learned 2 foreign languages (and studied 3 others without bothering to become fluent). But you can betcher bippy that if I moved to Russia, I’d learn their language.
.
Hard? Learning the language through daily contact with native speakers is the easiest and most effective way. And costs less than a 4-credit hour university course.
If you have an inkling of German, Russian should actually come quite simply. ^^ That’s how I got into it.
And their alphabet rocks.
In Soviet Russia, language learns you!
Perhaps the second sentence is missing the word “to”.
“It’s harder than you think TO stop being so ignorant.”
(NOTE: The word “to” was capitalized in this sentence to add emphasis and illustrate a point. Other capitalization, spelling and punctuation errors in the original sentence were corrected out of courtesy to the reader.)
No I think it was “It’s harder than you think; stop being so ignorant.” or at the very least “It’s harder than you think so stop being so ignorant.”
Not at all what you said.
So because it’s hard you shouldn’t have to do it?
That’s what SHE said!
ROFL!!!!
BEST COMMENT EVAR!
FTW~!
best ‘what she said’ comment win
It may be complicated, but it isn’t that hard.
And being in a country with fluent English speakers, it makes things a lot easier.
Even if it was really hard to learn the language, that isn’t an excuse to refuse and learn at least the basics.
If you’re going to a foreign country, you’ve got to realize that a lot of residents won’t speak your language.
It depends on the language, really. Spanish isn’t that hard to learn the basics of. Our American version of English is actually one of the harder languages to learn.
As a white English speaking American, all I have to say about Mexicans
That refuse to learn English is….
!ORALE pendejo! !!!YO he aprendido TU idioma huey!!! ustedes
no necesitan hablar ingles totalmente correcto, solomente quiero que
traten a aprender mi idioma si quieran trabajar y vivr aqui. ustedes son
muy buenos para nuestro economia, preveiendo un fuente de labor que,
a menos en california, no podriamos vivir sin. pero aumentan el conflicto
cuando no aprendes la IDIOMA central, la que hemos vivido con por
la general de nuestro historia.
That wasn’t perfect Spanish, but its “entendible” (understandable).
o and FTW, most immigrants get mad at the idea of their kids being
taught in Spanish. they want them to learn English cause they’ll be more
successful. until Latin American development reaches a satisfactory
level, its going to be this way.
You move to France, you expect to learn French don’t you.
sorry Athanar but WE..the MEXICANS in a very near future are gonna own the US so you better get basic spanish lessons because you GRINGOS are the ones who are gonna need to speak spanish. e.g. I mean u are about to have a black president!! when not so long ago they were ur slaves!! and now u will KNEEL!!!
shuc shuc shame on u.
You can’t even write properly, if by “WE” you mean a bunch of ignorant people like you, you don’t have any chance at owning anything.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but get real and learn some respect.
And just for the record, I am Mexican, I live in México.
What a shame there’s people like you out there, ruining our name, and culture.
jaja, let me laugh. u are the one that should get real papi! im part of the culture, u like it or not ahh pseudo-mexican.
as I said…yankees get spanish lessons.
no quiero
nope, not a troll…no, not at all, nuh-uh don’t see a troll here do-be-do
May I state that if you MEXICANS, as you put it, take over this country can you please not turn it into a shit hole like your own country? What I mean is that it is such a great country that you are all fleeing from in droves that I would just love to have a country just like it. Canada better get ready because they seem to keep fleeing north due to such awesome living conditions they set aside for themselves.
I can assure. Anonymous, that I live better than you in my shit hole, without all your paranoia and your fear.
Besides, I earn more money than you.
And I speak more languages than you.
Saludos desde la Ciudad de México a todos los paisanos… and regards to the cool gringos too!
Yeah, maybe in your head you do, but all you really are is a stupid person working as a house cleaner living in a 3 bedroom apartment with 15 other mexicans.
…”but all you really are is a stupid person”
AND I AM THE STUPID ONE?
You can’t even write english!!!!
You just made his point, lawnboy.
Just for the record morons, the richest person in the world is Mexican. Maybe this particular lawnboy – whom I suspect to be a lawn girl – can buy half of your state.
I mean what can we do, we just wanted to stop-by the US and CANADA, but there is something that keeps us far from going back to mexico, and that something is your Girls, Im serious about this, the 80% of ur femmes are easy to tap asses, seriously. how can we leave ur country when ur girls keep yelling us to stay?? they love latin power! u guys should drink some guarana al least.
Interesting nic. Remember what happened to the other Cuauhtemoc… Read Bernal Diaz de Castillo if you’ve forgotten.
Might I suggest Nezahualcoyotl instead? Proto-existentialist poet-king who lived to a ripe old age.
it happens that he was an emperor.

well i have
learning the BASICS (as he said)
is not that hard
I learned German
Ich heise Haley-My name is Haley (can’t use ess-tset cause i dont know how to type it)
Ich bin funfsehn jahre Alt-I am 15 years old
ja-yes
nein-no
its not that complicated
Every one that lives on the us, learns a little bit of english, is just too hard to forget your original languaje, btw stop crossing the border to fill your tanks you morons
You owe us free gas.
Um, no, I doubt that it was, given the native peoples and their languages, not to mention the large numbers of African slaves and the fact that at that time most of the white population had very recently come from somewhere else …
So then, why do the majority of Americans living in Mexico refuse to speak Spanish? It’s common sense, really.
That’s what really bugs us Latinos: the American hypocrisy. You have the balls to tell us, practically order us, to speak English, but you don’t have the balls to learn how to say anything more than “hola” and “gracias” in our countries.
Here’s what you need to do: you need to get off your high horse and come to terms with the fact that you guys never were and never have been the God-appointed saviors of the world (and I’m referring to a very popular sentiment in the States during the last half of the 19th century).
ORALE!!!! chicana porfavor escucha me los gaboachos no son todos losmismos!!

listen to me! not all americans are the same!
americans living in mexicoshould learn spanish, mexicans in america english. most of us arevacationing though. thats different.
On that basis, you should be speaking Navajo.
You are totally right. Everyone should learn the primary language of that country. This country is too soft on that issue. I am Russian born…but have lived here long enough to learn the language….and so did my family. Its one thing to have tv channels you pay extra that are in your language but its another when yuo go to public places and you see billboards in another language or people working in public places who dont speak the country’s language
Yes, but it was British English and besides at some point there were Germans , Italian, Chinese, French and Spanish in the country…and when the country was founded Indians were on most of the land so………..
Excuse me, but osio Emma dawado.
Cherokee.
Actually, German gave English a run for its money when the Founding Fathers were deciding which language we should all use.
If you’re in a country for an extended period, I agree–learn the basics. But to say that English was the most-spoken language and should stay that way is naive. The language of a culture always changes, it is constantly morphing. The English language especially! Latin, anyone?
Leave the politics elsewhere.
How about here?
Who died and made you Pope?
i wonder if he speaks any American Indian languages
You mean those languages are still around? We still havent stamped them all out yet, dang we must be getting soft as a country

Damn, the English-speaking immigrants who just got off the boats from Europe several hundred years ago didn’t stamp out the languages that THEY should have learned as newcomers to the country. Whatever shall they do? Boo-hoo!
The Dineh and Hopi languages are still spoken and taught here Arizona. Does not mean they don’t speak english too.
Indeed. As a linguist, I deeply appreciate the teachings of endangered or dying languages to new learners – so much can be learned from languages.
I am currently attempting to learn some Euro- and Pacifico-centric languages, and just hope I have the mental capacity to keep adding to the languages I know. And pray that there is someone to learn from me, when I move on.
I’m working through Breton, currently. If anyone is interested, that is.
Blah Blah Blah….. your facts have no place here. Languages are just like everything. Darwin holds true; the weak die and the strong survive. Good bye latin and aramaic (however the hell you spell it). Hello “english-american” and ebonics!!
Diffrent languages are beautiful. Yes, I know I can not spell very well. I will tell you that first. Languages are a great thing to differ yourself in and that picture is Assicious! Yes I know that in not a word or correct spelling but yes coming into a country you should try to learn a little of their language but people don’t need to be so demeaning about it. And ass hole up there Darwin was a pompis prick! The theory should not be applied to languages! Also they say Latin is a dead language but we use it in Medicine and Anthropology so shut your mouth! And Thanks to the Wind Talkers if you even know who they were and what they did they saved our asses and they speak a diffrent language and helped us out so shut the hell up moron!! Maybe you should stick to your beer and corn nuts and leave the actual thinking to people with brains!
Really? There is so much fail in your comment – I can’t even begin to correct it.
LinguaFail.
Do you know how badly our economy would FAIL if we didn’t have mexicans?
Then why is it failing already cause their still here.
Haha, just goes to show that he cant speak his own language. Im not saying now that all Americans are stupid BUT 90% of you dont know geography and some cant spell. And forcing someone to speak your language just because they live in your country? LOL!
Irony WIN!!!
HA.
And what exactly is Mexico supposed to do once we boycott it? Just sit there quietly while everyone immigrates back into it? Highly amusing.
No, we just first have to round them all up and send them back and then stop them from being in our country, I mean if Hitler could do it, so could we.
I mean if Hitler could do it, so could we
he failed
It’s because he listened to your favorite band and subsequently went emo, killing himself.
yeah except the jews they were trying to “remove” were native citizens of Germany who were born there or naturalized….*not* illegal immigrants.
are we really going down this road here?
It was his little pussy mustache. He should have gone all Rollie Fingers, and grown an handlebar mustache. Then, we’d all be oppressed and speaking German.
Hitler=Historic Epic Fail
Ok, conversation dead.

good point.
glad godwins law does not apply here
Actually, Godwin’s Law (aka “As an online discussion continues, the probability of someone being compared to Hitler or the Nazis approaches one.” {becomesMORE likely}) *does* apply, but here’s the kicker – that’s ALL it talks about; it doesn’t decree that “conversation dead” or even ‘nothing productive will come of it’.
…that’s just *common sense*.
Don’t worry – the American economy IS in the shitter, and people ARE returning to Mexico in record numbers for better jobs and opportunities.
American Economy FAIL.
i going to be very racist here and call you a mexican because of your name.
Racist!
Yeah, you stupid racist!
lol
My name is better than yours. I am prettier, too.
Viva México!
Have you been to Mexico? even the worst jobs here in the states are better than what a uneducated Mexican can find in Mexico. Mexico is a sick racist country run by rich Spaniards who don’t give a rats a** for their indigineous people. They have to work on Saturdays for 1/2 a day in addition to the 5 days we normally work. I used to see them sitting around waiting for their pay, lots of times the bosses just would not show up and they would lose a weeks wages. NO protection for the workers in that sick-o country.
just corrections:
–> we aren’t a sick country, the goverment is the sick one…
–> and there’s a detail… the workers are most likely to loose many weeks, minimum 2, cause here we’re paid every two weeks [i don't know how are you there]…. but most of the times the workers have to wait MONTHS to be paid…
taking about laborers, who are paid weekly on Saturdays
sorry, i did mean the government – but you guys need to change it
Ema, our goverment sucks, but yours… well… what can I say!
yeah, i know..
—> for “ema”all problems have their origins in the stops and walls that are set to those who want to change our f***ing situation…
but i second also Sandragoras [whose name its better than mine
]… your government many times is as bad as ours… i mean… yeah! you have better education, better tv access, better book access, better medical services, etc… but at least ours doesn’t attack other countries “for its freedom” and that kind of things… just my point of view…
and i think it would be better if you us citizens try to undestand the immigrants… most of them are working… and deserve the services they demand… just get it… the latins keep your basic economy system running
—> for sandragoras: de donde eres? xD
Don’t you have a Home Depot to go hang out in front of?
no… all i got similar to that its an Office Depot
Hey, I have an idea, why doesn’t your country try to understand the immigrants? Why not educate and create jobs for them, in your country? Instead of creating comic books that tell them how to get over here in the desert where they will most surely die. They won’t have to bother with English. Mexico needs roads and infrastructure, you could have a booming tourist economy since your country is so beautiful if your government would crack down on the corruption and kidnappings.
youre right in that way… its strange that thing of the comics xD
but seriously i’m sorry… i didnt mean you have to maintain them
we have serious problems here, that’s why people goes away…
were advancing… but not at the velocity we need to…
the actual generation of politicians needs to be replaced… the youngest are tired of all this crap. hope we will find better ways… right now i’m 17… wait people like me to grow… and there will be important modifications
jap trying to sound like a spic fail.
Good for you! I for one am cheering for you guys.

because you can’t spell or use punctuation, so we’re taking over. Yee haw!
Reminds me of the famous ‘moran’ sign. And of divorced heterosexual adulterers who believe that gay marriage somehow cheapens the ’sanctity’ of marriage.
Hey. Only divorced middle-aged adulterers can TRULY appreciate how special marriage is. Because when they were out getting tranny booty calls, that… he-she-it whatever didn’t make them breakfast in bed!! only WIVES do that!! therefore….
Instead of “he-she-it-whatever”, you can just say “they”; it’s a lot less offensive.
STFU
It’s called having respect for others, which you don’t seem to have either.
I respect you…I’ll respect you even more, just use more whipped cream.
I didn’t think it cheapens sanctity. I thought it changes the meaning. Silly me for taking things the way the dictionary describes.
Besides, what does divorced heterosexual adulterers have to do with an idiot who doesn’t know how to spell? I must have been sleeping when that segue happened.
Homosexuality is abnormal psychology.It exists simply because it is different, taboo, or abnormal.Homosexuality is the effort of someone under intense inner conflict to find peace, or fulfill an emotional void……Much like drugs and alcohol. No one is “born” gay……..Homosexuality is learned behavior….Our society has simply allowed it to be accepted as we have lost sensitivity to its exsistence…
Because obviously gay people LOVE to picked on daily…yeah…that’s filling a void nicely. You need to hush. You definately have you doctorate in psycho nailed. Go away.
Judging from your comment you seem to have an anal fixation…….
You seem the type that has sat upon a frozen vegetable or two (frozen for added sensation)….I’m going to speculate you learned that behavior on a coke binge….You seem the type.
those with their noses up in the air will fall flat on their faces….
Judging a person by saying they are doing something nasty that YOU thought of? “Added Sensation”?! How would you know? Where oh where did you come up with that, if you are such a pure human being?

Huge debt yes, but rather then pay it off we will just keep giving money and support to smaller country’s that are to lame to make it on their own. Why does everyone hate America?
Why does everyone hate America?
to be honest
i think it cuz of the way the country’s self rightness image
invasion of country’s that haven’t attacked you
illegal treatment of prisoners
how it can do what it likes to whom ever
but if some one fights back you will annihilate they if need be.
Iraq had no WMD
they stole the country’s entire wealth and killed there leader
it was Iraq’s job to sort out there country
Iraq had no terrorism untill the USA destroyed there country
and now it will have for ever
Iraq was never linked to 9-11
osarmar bin-laden hated Saddam
they were never a team.
its sad that thing can not change untill the USA losses it power over the weak
we all may pay the price for US forgine policy
Iran is next, i think if you do attack it will be on for all.
you are going to attacker them because they feel they have the right to defend them selves. thats not wright
attacker…
wright…
self rightness…
OMG! IT’S A CONSPIRACY THEORIST! : P
I had assumed this comment was a joke but then I remembered where I was.
Maybe they hate us because people can graduate high school without ever learning grammar or spelling. If English isn’t your first language then keep at it.
Unfortunately, I think he just can’t spell, and his grammar is naturally horrible. Typical uneducated slacker brit. You’ll see his posts in other threads, and it’s clear he’s a moron. But that doesn’t stop his hatred for America, where we have the greatest freedom and prosperity in the world.
It’s because we’re ASSHOLES.
Spelling and grammer aside, he isn’t exactly wrong.
Yes, America may have the “greatest freedomand prosperity in the world”, as staded above, but that dosn’t excuse our attempt to force our ways of life on others. If Iraq had attacked us, that would have given us the right to defend ourselves, but as the agressor in this conflict, we’ve only made ourselves the ‘bad guys’ in the eyes of every other country. Thats why others hate us, for being self-rightous idiots.
( and no, for the record, I don’t hate america, I live here and wouldn’t want to live elsewhere. I just don’t agree with the government/military’s actions)
australian
your prison rate has doubled in the past 10 years
your country is the the worst debt in it history
you have poor or no free medical- the lowest minimal wage of the developed countrys.
your not doing as well as you think
while america is supposed to stand for freedom rightousness and helping out the little guy … they have fogotten this and become greedy i won’t mention the gulf war as a fault because i think that overthrowing a horrible tyrant is a good thing it just went a bit wrong. but america has the biggest difference between rich and poor than the entire western world, the poor can’t aford helthcare and mexican imigrants work for ford at a rate of $1 a day when america has the highest AVERAGE annual income. Also there is an american military base near me and they keep force buying local houses at less than market value for thier soldiers to live in they also wanted to close a main road for “security reasons”.
you can harly say that Brits are uneducaded, i mean what age do you start school well in case you can’t count that high i’ll tell you 6 now in Brittain we start school at 4 (which comes before 6). This also comes from a country where smart people are shunned by society and called “nerds”. in the UK and I’m sure most other countries being called stupid, thick, blockhead, dolt, ect is offencive. As for this kid’s spelling and grammar it’s the internet – nobody cares except really picky annoying people, and anyway this kid might have dyslexia which is a common dissorder in Brittain (incase thats too long a word for you it means you can’t read or write properly because you get letters mixed up)
overthrowing a horrible tyrant == not your job
just went a bit wrong == it could not have gone right, in all history never
I’d like to point out that I’m an American. I dislike the
fact that so many people hate us, And that our country is
slowly being overrun by illegal immigrants. I recently read
a study about how if all of the illegal immigrants would leave
the lower class of Americans would be able to fill in those
jobs. If they could get those jobs, they could possibly afford
Health-Care services. That solves 2 problems with one stone.
The illegals need to leave.
Or be made into an edible food source…oooo! I know!!!!! Bio fuel!!!
All I got to say “rob chris” is that Austraila is where all the countries dumped their prisoners a few centuries ago so get off your high horse! And dolt we start preschool at 3-4years of age!
we won the war.
“that are to lame to make it on their own” = too llame = homonym/context fail
How about spelling ‘countries’ (the plural) properly? Aspostrophe usage fail.
OMG! Just realised the “(Comments wont nest..)”. It should read “won’t”. Wont is habit or custom: “As is his wont”. Typical illiterate IT person supporting a website. LOL!
weve have never had one
You’ve never had a penis? Hardly a surprise.
As for other countries hating us, I could care less! Those are the countries we disregard as impertinent. We have the highest standard of living in the world, and that’s all that matters! I do agree with the poster above that laments the fact that we are being overrun by illegals, but we’ve about had our bellyfull of that shit, and it’s going to stop soon.
When was the last time you fought in one? Don’t dis it unless you’re in it, bitch.
You know you’re a redneck if….
You are not my advocate and will not be until you have brought me a multitude of souls……Including your own.
Honey, you make me ashamed to share a country with you. GTFO.
it’s not just americans English people do this too i still maintain this is because they don’t teach languages properly/enough in schools
Apparently not – you have a dangling participle and used the wrong form of “to”!
Actually, the “too” is correct. He neglected to add punctuation. It should be two sentences with “too” being the last word of the first sentence.
Grammar Nazi Fail.
Well, maybe that’s why I misunderstood the sentence. Now we have a prime example of the importance of learning grammar and punctuation in school!
No, he used the right “too” – given that “too” is equivalent to “also”.
He is missing several punctuation marks.
Moreover, what hanging participle?
But do they teach one how to use capitalization? It’s funny; you are as ignorant in this failthread as you were in the previous failthread. Epic, across-the-thread fail.

I recall my freshman US Government instructor reading a news article to the class about people being stopped at the border of the US to be searched for drugs. The article said that black people were (some percentage) more likely to be stopped. He remarked, “why didn’t they say African-Americans? That’s not very P.C. is it??”
The class erupted into a debate about why black people need to be called African-Americans versus a couple of black girls saying that the newspaper was disrespectful for NOT saying “African-American” instead of “black”.
I managed to wedge in with, “I heard this crazy rumor somewhere… I don’t remember the source though… that they have black people in other countries too! Like, in the UK and Brazil and stuff.”
(30 and being forced to take US Government with a bunch of 17-year-olds just to complete a freshman-level requirement that they don’t think I had in my OTHER three degrees? fail.)

Oklahoma, the desolate godforsaken place we sent all the Native Americans when they got all upset that we were … you know, “stealing their land” or whatever… please, we gave them the WHOLE STATE of Oklahoma!!! Who wouldn’t like Oklahoma!?! Anyway, Oklahoma is trying to pass a law to make English the official state language.
Actually, this guy probably is from Oklahoma.
So… why did they call it the “Trail of Tears”?
Because they were so happy to go to Oklahoma, overwrought with joy.
Please tell me you’re being sarcastic.
Please tell me you are considering suicide.
No. Because there is no gay sex in death
hahaha someone used my named…brilliant.
What is a native american? Didn’t they go the way of the buffalo??? Ha Ha.
Good, as a “native” Oklahoman, I’m sure your great-great-grandmother was a fullblood Cherokee princess, and you can tell us AS A NATIVE that genocide is okey-dokey hunky-dorey! Yay! White liberals rest at ease! Vote McCain, he has a good plan for relocating some villages up in northern Arizona. Oh wait, no, we were taught in history that genocide happenED – PAST tense. So McCain couldn’t be doing it today. And the state of Oklahoma couldn’t be continuing it today, too. Which is good, because otherwise I would have to think that the Conoco refinery up in Ponca City, the refusal to license Osage language teachers, the continuing use of race to pit people in Northeastern Oklahoma against members of their own tribe (“divide and conquer”, “crabs in a bucket”, typical colonialism), the continuing use of “trust status” to break up land into useless, individually titled subportions, eventually to be sold to white people or the state, were all examples of ONGOING genocide. Glad we cleared that up.
Ahoh, koda.

But who will clean your dishes in restaurants, who will mop the floors and who will run your food from the restaurant kitchen to the server? I’m sure whiteboy in the picture won’t do it. Too bad for whiteboy as well that Mexicans speak the most widely spoken language in the world – that would be Spanish. But I suppose if you never leave the borders of your own redneck town you don’t have to worry too much about the fact that English isn’t the world’s number one language. General knowledge and basic grammar: FAIL.
I realized that this guy looks almost exactly like the president of our Homeowner’s Association… only this guy’s a bit older. I wonder if this guy is our HOA president’s dad. That would explain a lot.
I was under the impression that more people speak the Mandarin dialect of the Chinese languages than any other language in the world. Someone needs to write to the Guiness World’s Record people.
FTW
While I support your comment, you are wrong, English *is* the most widely spoken language in the world (about 2.2 billion people speak English at least as a second language). This is followed by Mandarin and Hindi (each about 1.1 billions) leaving Spanish in the 3rd place (about 480 million people speaking Spanish if memory serves me).
Counting fail…
Oh yes, you’re right
Fail on my part! I was so eager to find fault with the redneck in the picture that I got a bit carried away…
not very bright , was it?
only 30% of the worlds population can speak any English
Mandarin is the most widly spoken first language
English is the official internation language of trade
there food for thought for both sides of the argument
It’s obviously not the most written language in the world, otherwise you wouldn’t have missplled “international” and missed all your punctuation.

Fail on multiple levels:
1) Obviously, are -> our
2) Mexicans ARE Americans. Citizens of all the countries in North America and South America are Americans. Are all these people supposed to boycott Mexico?
3) What good will it do to boycott Mexico? Will the Mexican government be able to put pressure on people who don’t even live there?
Arghh!!!
You must boycott EVERYTHING that a Mexican person has touched.
(goodluckwiththat)
I therefore boycott America. FOR AMERICA.

Well, despite the spelling error (or perhaps more accurately stating the word error ) of that man…why can’t people respect the language of the country they go to? If any American goes on vacation to non-English speaking countries–they won’t cater to us. We just look stupid (which isn’t that hard to do some of the time) and helpless.
Meh, I mean, how do you expect to survive in a country if you can’t even speak or read in that language?
what do you mean ‘they won’t cater to us’?? As in, they expect you to speak the language of the country you’re visiting? And if so, isn’t that what you are asking non-English speakers to do in your country?
Yes, that is exactly what she is saying. Why is it not ok for us to expect English from “international visitors” when other countries expect it from us?
They usually don’t. You obviously don’t travel much.
I have traveled enough to know that if you don’t speak at least some of the host countries language when you travel then you are pretty much out of luck.
Then no, you haven’t travelled much. Unless of course, by saying you’ve “travelled enough to know” you mean you’ve only travelled to English speaking countries, then yes, they do expect you to speak their language…
Most countries expect you to speak their language!!
noooo!
most of the f***ing hotels in the world have english signals, persons who speak english!!! and maybe french… why do they forget spanish?!
Because we’d all like to forget you.
There is a difference between not speaking your language and expecting you to speak theirs.
I’ve been to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and a lot of other European countries, and what have I learned from my travels?No one speaks my native native language, Danish. What makes it worse is that in some of these countries, mainly France, Italy and Spain, speaking English to them is a quite bothersome endeavour. France is probably the worst in regards to that. Either you speak to them in French, which according to my experiences they don’t understand (or I don’t speak), or you speak to them in English, which they sorta understand a little… but not enough to communicate most of the time.
Here’s a hint….Stay at home.
if you go to a resort or tourist place, then yeah, there are going to be people who speak English. However, if you go to any normal area, you’re not likely to find anyone who will understand you.
When I cruse to Mexico I can communicate just fine to the nice people /offering me cheap souvenirs and beer. What non English speaking country’s do you go to
When you “cruse” to Mexico? Better lay off that Mexican beer.
define how far you go… our nothern states are kinda “americanized” [using your habbit to name the US "america"]… for example… tijuana, mexicali cities… cd. juarez, matamoros…
if you go inner… i doubt you’d get more than strange looks at you when you scream “i want a BEER!!!!”
you’d have to say “alguien deme una cerveza!!!”
I would say..”I need a cheap tilesetter!” or..”Any one up for some random landscaping???”
Self contradiction WIN!
i don’t know most of the workers in Brittish telephone centres speak the little known language of gobledigook … and the rest just spek incredibly formal business language which is difficult to a) take in and b) understand
Just remember,
“Everyone can understand english, provided you speak it slowly and loudly enough.”
Slowly is enough, most people are not deaf…
This reminds me:
An American wants to travel to a foreign country, for the first time in his life. He wants to go to Germany, but is afraid that nobody will understand him. But the guy at the travel agency says, no problem, just speak slowly and they’ll understand you.
So he’s off to Germany and goes into a Pub right after the arrives:
“O n e b e e r , p l e a s e.”
He gets a beer.
Cool. So he sits there when the guy next sais:
“H a v e y o u t r i e d t h e w i n e?”
So he orders a wine, speaking really slowly, and he gets one.
So he and the guy talk a bit, an after some time he asks:
“W h e r e a r e y o u f r o m?”
“A t l a n t a”
“H o w’ s t h a t – m e t o o!”
“W e l l, c o o l – t h e n w e c a n f i n a l l y s t o p t o s p e a k G e r m a n.”

I just want to know why he felt the need to have it hyphenated. o_x
Redneck punctuation. Similarly, all plurals (or apparent plurals) must have an apostrophe, eg = Jone’s Market.

haha, what a retard – you can tell he’s american!
Too bad he’s not speaking/writing English. Proves once again that things are backward in the Universe: it takes a test to get a license to drive, but nothing is required to breed like rats. Only in America, where you’re free to be as stupid as you wish, with little or no repercussions. Grammar? “2 elitist 4 U”.
Where do you live? Are people not stupid? Do they have to take a test to breed? I want to join your country!
In your country, people can be executed for the improper use of semi-colons.
In Soviet Russia, semi-colon execute YOU!!!!

And it’s just soooo cool to bash Americans and America huh? And you want to be just like all your cool friend, just like any teenager does. Don’t worry, when you get older you will understand all about peer pressure and you will be able to make you own decisions about countries and people. Maybe in 7 or 8 years…
Indeed it is fun to make fun of Americans. I’m American and I do it ALL THE TIME. Americans are essentially the scum of the Earth. We’re renowned for our poor educational system, our leaders, and our enormous egos. The only country worse than us is France.
I forgot to mention obesity and lack of a healthcare system.
You are really brilliant, what a way you have with words. I am sure your country men will change immediately because of the way you gently encouraged them to change! Good job! Tell me are you 10 or 11? You just seem to know so much.
Thank you, I humbly accept your harsh words as compliments. I’m always happy to offer my cynicism to anyone who doesn’t ask. I’m actually 24, and yes, I am this much of a jerk on a regular basis. You would be surprised at how often realism is mistaken for immaturity. It’s true though, America is not well-liked, especially since the start of the war. I have actually been around the world and have gathered my opinion based off of thousands of interviews. The stereotypical American in other countries is rude, obnoxious, obese, promiscuous, and has an over-inflated ego. It’s similar to how we have stereotypes about the Irish drinking, or the Germans eating sauerkraut, or the French being unkempt cheese-eaters.
As for my France comment, France is generally the most hated country throughout the UK.
And if you want further information, I should have my book out in about 2 years. It’s a detailed log of my journeys throughout the world and how America’s reputation precedes it. “Uhmareihka,” coming to stores in 2010, maybe 11, depending on various things.
Yeah, we’ll be anxiously awaiting your ridiculous little epistle. Thanks but no thanks, Hemmingway…
Yes, my country might be hated throughout the world, mostly hate based on missinformation and from ignorant people who have never been here. It is a “hate America” fest out there right now and there is no reason for it except it is a popular fad. We are not perfect, but no one in any country should point the finger. How well we are liked has nothing to do with anything as far as I’m concerned. But, glad to here you are writing a book, good luck to you.
Well, maybe it’s us pointing the finger that gets us into trouble in first place. After the way Bush and crew of functional retards have treated the rest of the world (and particularly some of our closest allies) it is hard to see how anybody could not be pissed at us right now.
We do have a track record of being obnoxious bastards that belittle anybody who does not live in the greatest freest country god has ever created on the face of the earth. That, however, is perhaps not the smartest idea for a country that started a war in everybody’s face on grounds that were not only disingenuous (WMDs) but downright moronic (Saddam’s supposed links to terrorism). Even worse to have a presidential candidate who defends that mess and is not subject of constant public ridicule.
Your vitriolic reaction to even the tiniest polemic towards the US doesn’t help much, either. Right now it would be possibly a good idea to eat humble pie and to try to fix the mess, even if we as individuals have not contributed to creating it.
Ye be all hanged in the eyes of the demons that darken the soul…….We feast on the crimson nectar ye drip from yer deadlights as the hempen harness chokes the flame o’ yer heart…..There be no home like the sullen depths o’ the sea for the damned with whom we sail…..Shame be to ye all……>0<
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, pirates!
well…he’s a KIND of pirate…

Thank you, my brother.
Don’t know why people so easily buy into these “America is hated all over the world” and “American are scum” memes.
.
How in the hell would you know something like that?
You read a survey or poll somewhere, liked what it “revealed” and adopted that little nugget of data into your brainframe without applying critical thought.
.
So many people from other countries are so “hateful” of America and Americans that they are leaving their respective countries in droves just for a shot to live here. Such is their naked hate of the Great Satan that there is a backlog of hundreds of thousands of would-be immigrants waiting to get in.
.
All over the world people enjoy American films, music, TV, technology, and a list of manufactured products too numerous to name. Many non-American youth dress like Americans, adopt their slang and hairstyles. With America’s weaker dollar, foreigners are flocking to America for holidays. Doesn’t sound like there’s an overwhelming hate for America outside her shores, does there?
.
You probably get off on America bashing because you believe it makes you sound intelligent, adult, independent or rebellious. That’s usually the mark of the young. Some, like aging hippies, may never break out of this juvenile mentality, and remain in a perpetual state of arrested development. They constantly go on about their victimhood and how others are always responsible for their own problems.
.
Sounds like every adolescent I’ve ever seen.
.
Let’s use ema’s calculus:
You say you’re 24 and ema calculates (generously IMO) you’ll grow out of your pupae stage in 7 or 8 years. That means that at age 32, you might (MIGHT) reconsider focusing so heavily on America’s faults and instead appreciate how much better others’ views of your country really is.
.
Fine. That’s young enough to not turn into an eternally angry, aging, cynical hipster. If you go past 40, that’s truly sad, like virgin-always-lived-in-mom’s-basement sad.
.
DISCLAIMER
Despite the mode on this blog to keep things light and nasty, like a roomful of monkeys with typewriters who fling p–p at every opportunity, I’m not actually trying to slap you down. But American America-bashers is a total FAILmeme that serves no good, effects no positive change and serves only to assuage the egos of those who need to be constantly critical yet can’t (or won’t) put forth a plan of positive progress.

BURN!!!
Aren’t we little miss contradiction?
Getting pissy at people for making assumptions and false conclusions about america, when you are doing the exact same about younger people.
Yes I am 16 before you begin with me aswell.
Adults also are pressured by their peers, peer pressure is not just an adolescent thing. I would also like to point out that sarcasm is funny, intelligent and sometimes cool, but only used in moderation, not an entire paragraph.
Maybe if you tone down the bitch people might take you seirously.
On the other hand, I do agree with you. America is not entirely a shit hole, it does have some good points I’m sure. I’m not going to act like an expert or anything but there is also alot of…..well lets just say in general alot of bad things about America aswell. Stressing alot.
Hugs and kissed
If you’re 16, I’m a mexican with a doctoral degree from Oxford. You can’t count either, can you?
Im not sure if i should take that as an insult or a compliment.
I did have trouble with counting in year 1 but thats entirely beside the point >_>…..
I am actually 16.
Hint: don’t take it as a compliment… perception fail

This picture is clearly a fake. Compare the two signs and you can tell the bottom one is photoshopped.
I’m iffy on that. I admit, it does seem strange that the bottom one shows no shadow or image of the other poster. But you have to give credit for whoever did this. The wood for the poster is visible, along with a nail. There is also the shadow of the interior of the car visible. If it is photoshopped, they did a good job. It just doesn’t make sense that they would forget about the physics. They had everything else right. Also, the handwriting is the exact same on both signs. Who knows?
at least I am last.

You’ve clearly never been in any number of WalMarts to see how true that is of almost every ethnic group. It’s the overcooked dregs of the melting pot. Vacant cow-eyed adults drifting inattentively from one aisle to the next as if they’re going to spot some product from 100 yards away by staring in the opposite direction while their soon-to-be-diabetic kids who weigh 100 lbs at age 8 scamper mindlessly in all directions wrecking whatever merchandise the darling little bowling balls happen to crash into and manage to leave a sugary film coating everything in their path like snail trails. If the economy did not suck the way it does, i’d never set foot in one, but i go where i can afford to shop

En español tenemos mas reglas gramaticales y aun así no cometemos faltas tan grandes en la ortografía
Spanish WIN!
English FAIL!
Que chistoso… fuiste a Latinoamerica alguna vez? A pesar que la ortografia es mucho mas simple que la del ingles (basicamente escribes como hablas) hay letreros como “vicicletero” en la calle. La mayoria de la gente tambien usa “c”, “z” y “s” como les da la gana. En España es algo mejor, pero tampoco es para tanto.
IPG, Voy a corregirte un poco: Que chistoso – te falta el acento en qué… Ortografía, Inglés, más, básicamente, mayoría, también… TODAS LLEVAN ACENTO. No me vayas a decir que tu teclado no los escribe… ¡¡¡cómprate uno nuevo!!!
Saluditos.
Okay…Let’s try this.How do you say, “Meet me at the illegal rooster fights and I’ll show you where we are building the methlab outside town.”in spanish?
Say it with me: “Mi madre es una puta sucia”. Now say it out loud! That’s how you say it
You’re welcome.

Y? Tal como a 99% de la poblacion hispanohablante los acentos nunca me importaron – si Word los pone bien, si no, bien tambien. De hecho me gusta la relacion un tanto relajada que muchos de habla española tienen. Solo que no digan que no cometen faltas de ortografia.
¿Y quién te dijo a ti que el tal “vicicletero” ese fue a la escuela? Déjense de mierda elitista y bájense de la maldita nube de que todas las personas en este cabrón mundo han tenido la oportunidad de ir a la escuela y aprender las reglas gramaticales.
Well, you are aware that you are posting on a site that makes fun of an ignorant for not being able to write his own language? The guy probably has spent some time in school, but not very successfully – just like the bike repairman. Does posting on this site make you an elitist?

Keep saying that to yourself.
And to all of you losers who still believe that the current brand of Americans stole North America from the Native Americans, I don’t know whether to pity you or get pissed off, all I can tell you is, don’t put too much faith in that public school education you got. Maybe you could actually talk to an Indian and see what they think about it. Ask the Sioux about their relationship with the Kiowa. Idiots.
Mistaking tribe wars and with slaughtering and mass internment fail.

Perhaps you should take a class before spewing your mouth off about education. I’ll bet you barely finished high school. You must live in a square state. Is that you in the passenger seat of the car?
Pardon, but the “current brand of Americans” ARE Native. If you’re not, then maybe you should go back to the starved, diseased shithole you came from. You know, that continent where you had no rights, and figured you could come here and commit genocide to cope with the scars?
Or if you really like it hear, learn Kiowa, or a member language of the Stoney-Assiniboine-Lakhota-Dakota continuum. Oh, you probably don’t live in that part of the country, anyway, probably got your racist shit from a public school education or your daddy. You certainly didn’t get it from “talk[ing] to an Indian”, moron.
Blog software FAIL for making me think the first post FAILed to post and leading to the posting of a superfluous secondling.
S U P E R F L U O U S, superfluous.
See, I won the spelling bee and didn’t get beaten up!
And I replied to my own post!
I have a feeling this will get ripped apart, but whatever. If I were to ever move to a country permanently, I would learn the native language. And no, I have never left the States because of monetary issues. If I were to travel I would find translation books for traveling (helping out with menus, getting a room, basic phrases.) I am not presumptuous enough to think that if I were to visit another country that everyone will be able to understand me.
I do my best with the education I recieved, and now I fear the reason education continues to decline is ill parenting and a rise of anti-intellectualism in our country. It’s so much easier to play dumb than to put some effort into anything, let alone education. I admit our children these days would rather be entertained that educated. But not all families are like that.
I resent the constant ridicule because I do not sit around all day with my twinkies and McD’s like someone mentioned in another thread this week. Nor do I refuse to engage in bettering myself when it comes to learning about other cultures, which I admit is hard without the first-hand traveling experience. I do, however, love the internet because I get to meet people and ask them personally about the news event from their own countries, without the filtering and bias of the media. Not that I am learning a lot here with all the boorish behavior. Besides that everyone here hates us, and they are sooo mature when they state their reasons why.
Get off my back. I’m sorry there are illiterate fools in “are-country.” I will not take responsibility for this chump, and I don’t think any of you will for your own country’s “morans.” I am only sorry because he has most likely reproduced by now.

Karma nothing. If nothing. WHEN you go to Mexico, you try working illegally, demanding free education and health care all in English and see what happens to you. And then those people come here and demand it of us? I’ve got nothing against Mexican people or their culture–same can be said of any culture around the world–it’s the legality and the hypocrisy of the thing.

Ok… I’ve been thinking long and hard about what to post here after reading everything.
To the main topic, which is that this moron’s poor grammar when trying to protest Mexican’s immigrating (legally or illegally, neither is specified) into the United States of America. It’s ironic, but I feel the truth is that most citizens of the USA can’t read or write their own native language with a high degree of fluency. This despite that, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the literacy rate in the United States is near 99%. However, having seen our education system, I find hard this hard to believe.
Maybe they consider a third-grade reading level to be adequate, but it’s difficult to say without being able to read their findings. Either way, this is another reason that the argument against immigration is flawed. To the man with sign, I say this: you can’t read and write the language proficiently either, retard.
To the topic of immigration: God bless the melting pot. I’m all for immigration. If you think you can achieve a more successful life and be productive citizens, then, by all means, feel welcomed to do so… but do it legally.
As to illegal immigration: U.S. Code : Title 8 : Section 1325, says “Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.”
I think that’s pretty clear cut. We consider it illegal for foreign people to enter our country without going through the proper procedures.
Now to root of why I believe we HAVE a problem with illegal immigrants: the minimum wage. Now hear me out. Economically, it works like this.
Let’s say you have a job that requires no skills. That job will have the lowest level of pay based on the principle that skilled labor is a scarcer commodity then unskilled labor. If a commodity is scarce, the price for that commodity is higher. I digress.
Inflation is inevitable in the modern world. As inflation increases, the cost of living increases. As the cost of living increases, those people who are unskilled laborers feel the brunt of it first. Some complain that their job doesn’t pay enough to subsist off of. As usually is the case, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
The problem is that when the minimum wage increases, businesses must increase cost to cover increased wages, thereby fueling further inflation. Further, this doesn’t account for the roughly 15% of people on welfare that never try to climb out of it (though, to be fair, for the 85% that do, I applaud you). When wages continue to rise, it is unfortunate that, as often happens in what appear to be successful societies, an additional sub-class is needed. In the case of the United States, this is USUALLY via undocumented, illegal immigrants. Not always, mind you, but usually.
I also think it’s a fallacy to think that a large percentage of violent crimes are committed by illegal immigrants. Most of these people come here looking for a chance to at least earn an honest living, work a lot harder than most anyone I know and get paid less to do it.
The point that I’m trying to make is that most people who immigrate LEGALLY to the United States DO learn the language. Most who don’t are not required to, and, in some cases, are preferred by their employers to not better themselves. As harsh as that may sound, and I’m not suggesting I support the practice, this is the way things work.
I don’t believe that a multi-lingual USA will make anything better. We need to be masters of our own language first.
Thanks for reading this far… this is your weekly opus by the Fahz, stating out social issues in a forum a very small percentage of the world will ever read.

Hell, the way i see it, until Mexicans start rounding you up, moving you to shitty land and then taking your kids, sticking them in boarding schools and forcibly converting them to another religion and actively punishing them for speaking English, most of you folks don’t have a damned thing to complain about.
Aptly pointing out whiny American particularism and genocide WIN
Referring to ongoing genocide in present tense WIN
What the hell.
The issue on this picture is that the man is full of shit. If he’s going to accuse Mexicans of not knowing how to speak English, he should make the effort to spell it properly himself.
I live in a place where people are expected to be fluent in two languages. Personally I’d like to learn more. If you move to a country, you should try to learn the official language. It’s a simple question of respect.
There are idiots and hypocrites everywhere. Everything/everyone should be dealt with in a case by case basis. Intentional retardation is a worldwide problem. It should be stopped.

Furthermore to the mexicans, stop assuming every mexican looking person speaks spanish, and do not get mad when they can not understand you. Its really annoying shit
Well that was funny.
I just wanted to add something. When people (tourists) coming from the USA (I would never call them ‘Americans’, that would include Canadians or Argentinians, eugh) go to… say… France, they always expect the locals to speak English. Do they know France is NOT in the UK? Sometimes I think they don’t.
So please, Étasuniens (US nationals in French), don’t give Mexicans lessons about respecting your country if most of you can’t do the same when you visit a non-English speaking country, that’d be FAILbulous.
Rednecks are disgusting
wow… can you say hick? lmao
2 fails,
1. you cant boycott a country
2. spelling FAIL
I’m not an american, and nor do I hate america. I think its government has made some bad decisions, but it is people like in this picture that give americans their bad reputation. It really is sad to see.
A MEXICAN WRITES BETTER THAN THIS REDNECK DOUCHEBAG
I don’t think he wrote that, it is very unlikely that he uses o’s to dot his i’s
Well the guy is smiling, he obviously did that on purpose I didn’t like it very much. I would rate it 2 STARS
and rest assured that we non-illegal mexicans have a foto of his face now and will chase him until we exact vengeance
And what are all 3 of you going to do?
mexicans are americans-.-
USA country is nothing more but conglomerate of many nations after slaughter of native Indians . Typical american is mongrel so I dont understand they hate to people from other countres lives in States.
foreign language insult fail—troll win.
It’s ‘comas “mi” caca.’
actually it would be ‘an’ incorrect fail detection fail
use of quotation marks for emphasis fail + comma usage fail
lol
Well you all are photoshop fails!
The use of single quotations marks is often used to draw attention to a fixed, changed or adjusted word in a direct or indirect quotation.
Multi fail. It’s ‘comes,’ the command.
well i think more properly you would say “comas mi culo”.
respect our country… speak ANOTHER country’s language?
this is why i read comments. is this in england? otherwise they can speak whatever the hell they want
foreign language insult detection double fail, actually what he meant is…
“Come caca” that stands for “Eat Shit”….
oic. tryin to say eat shit, thought u hated comas and punctuations.
Eat my butt?
Hola, amigos.
It’s o.k. to say “Come caca” = “eat shit”, but never ever say “Come (mi) culo”. In Mexico it is an insult to oneself, and everybody is going to laugh at you. Be very, very careful with us mexicans and our “albures”. Go to wikipedia to find out what I am referring to.
Sorry if I made one or two orthographic mistakes. In Mexico we write english once in a while… but believe me: the must of us can speak it. Ha, ha, ha!
¡Saludos!
Yes in the “barrio” spanish is the most spoken second language.
You know the “barrio” where the chickens and broken down cars sprout up like crabgrass.
You know, like your mom sprouts up looking for work.
Of course you do, you would need to speak english to have any type of employment besides construction, house cleaning or landscaping. That is why everyone speaks english, it is the language of commerce. So, what is the drive for anyone in US to speak any other language? Except of course for fun if one has the time to learn.
