An actual question from a survey I just took

What language do you, yourself, speak most often outside of the home? Would you say you speak:

English all the time
English more than Spanish
Both equally
Spanish more than English
Spanish all the time
Other
So, I'm just curious... Are there that many people that speak Spanish that they have to come up with this question? I find it repulsive that, in some areas, traffic signs contain both English and Spanish or any mixture of languages. Does the United States have an official language or are we going to just convert to what is the most popular at the time or place.

Any opinions on the subject?

I believe the plan is, first let as many illegal aliens into our country to do the jobs that Americans wont do. Then we have a big celebration. You know, for diversity. Then we wont be invited to the celebration because we will be the minority.

I kind of feel like I'm my father saying this but I can't believe this is happening right before our eyes! Will it ever stop?

Where is the survey from?

It was from a Procter & Gamble survey. I guess I have plenty of time if I have enough to take surveys for them, but it was quick and painless. I don't know why it matters to them if I speak Spanish or English and how often, but apparently it does.

Pick up the latest copy of Time magazine. It is talking about the 300 million mark in the US, and if you look at the population, Hispanics are the next closest in size wise to "crackers". So, I find that a very "real" question.....IMO

Well, I was at Wal-Mart buying some fishing line (Spider wire ) this evening and the package had both engerish and Spanish.

I feel like were being invaded. What was the name of that movie where the aliens landed and they became a normal race in society?

Thanks Matt.
