You probably live alone and don't have friends. Others who do can "maintain proficiency" without loudly mouthing off in public like you and your silly group does. Mind your manners and quit talking so loud.

Since when do people speak in such hushed tones others who do hear them are eavesdropping? That is one of the dumbest things I've heard.

Hey look at us we know another language we're so special. Hi everyone, we're the bilinguals. The arrogance and rudeness are 2 bad qualities. You want to be like that? Move to France.
No, the arrogance or rudeness is from the likes of you who want to police what language others speak in public. MYOB, please.

Again I pointed out that the poster has also put people on ignore and announced it.

No that's just something you've made up. Not many peopledo that. It is extremely rare.

No, the arrogance or rudeness is from the likes of you who make things up about others intentions. I'm not the one here who violates the rights of the individuals by forcing them to do something. Quit making, please.

Using a language between someone of your background is not just for fleuncy, it's also for "sympatico" and nuance, familiarity.
And it's rude. Not all the time but there are times it's unwarranted and rude.

I tell people I don't speak Spanish. Once in awhile I'll hear them say something disparaging. Overwhelmingly it's women, lol. I choose to not speak it but I understand it. Odd how their manners change once I tell them that.

So why did you chime in to pick a fight here after your nativist buddy Oldglory was getting schooled for his Hispanophobic rants?

I don't know who oldglory is so he's not my buddy. Another dishonest statement of yours.

I've already posted my thoughts on this and stated my exact reasons. You don't understand why I posted, on a discussion forum?

Look up the definition of hypocrite, you have no idea what it means. There’s nothing to refute from a bunch of childish rambling words. Next time, try harder.

Hillbillies? lol Like I said, rude, and arrogant.
1. Didn't say it was but I've come come across monolingual nazi's before.

2. Like I said this is a free country and people can speak whatever language they please and yes it won't be pleasant.

3. Many people are nosy and try to listen to other people's conversations in doctor's offices waiting rooms etc that isn't something I've made up.

4. Okay the woman in the video might be a few generations removed from being a hillbilly. There are some hillbillies that are good people but this one is definitely trash her demeanor and language is straight out of the gutter. Yeah I do look down on her type not because of economics but plain and simple they're gutter trash.
