yes, it is important.
When claiming the argument of "well other countries are trying to support English-speaking visitors" as a reason to push justification for America to provide bilingual signage, intent matters to me. From my understanding, accommodating tourists versus accommodating illegal visitors/residents is different. |

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Apr 1 2008, 07:57 PM)  impala, i dont know any real life mexican immigrants that "cry because everything isnt in spanish" Sorry I should have been more clear. I didn't literally mean that mexican immigrants were in the streets with tears coming from their eyes. What I should have said was, I'm sick of seeing some jackass who doesn't know english taking up my time in line at various everyday errands like the post office, grocery store, fill out forms for anything, etc, and then actually get mad at the clerk because they don't know spanish. QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Apr 1 2008, 07:57 PM) i think you let the FEW highly bloated media stories get into your head. I don't think I've ever seen any media story showing people upset over something not being in spanish, so no. |

few examples:
like 7 years ago, huge outcry from the Hispanic population because they wanted court hearings held in Spanish when I worked at the Lubbock Best Buy, a Hispanic couple came in to buy a camera. Supposedly they didn't speak English so I was sent to that dept (even though i was just a cashier) to help them. They refused to speak to me because I wasn't fluent. One of the camera sales girls came over to me and said "I speak Spanish. I just refuse to speak it to them. I was originally helping them in English, and they are fluent in English. We started chatting it up and when they found out I spoke Spanish, they refused to speak another word of English. I walked away." Fuck that. I walked away too. I even heard them speaking English later. FUCKING RETARDED I have had that happen to me on several occasions. |

Translators are required, not a trial in spanish... thats just stupid because all hispanics would have thier own judge, which isn't fair to all english speakers who get randomly chosen judges for thier case. (effects trial preperations and how likely you are to win based on who is the judge) -------------------- |

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Apr 2 2008, 10:48 AM) court cases in which a hispanic immigrant is involved with and doesnt speak english SHOULD be held in spanish. if the person cant understand whats going on then there is no fucking cases against them and its infringing on their rights. In a court case you have a right to legal representation. There is no law stating you must understand your court case. I could be wrong but do not believe there is a law saying the state must provide legal representation which speaks your language. So I don't exactly see what rights are being infringed on. edit: nm, chicken said it |

so a person not knowing whats being said about them, to them, or what papers they are signing in a trial or police interview is okay? is that what you are talking about? i dont see how an attorney could properly work with a client if they didnt speak each others language. if what you say is true id be very surprised
edit: seth said they have to have translators thus they have to be able to understand whats going on -------------------- Little monkeys making money

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Apr 2 2008, 07:14 AM) is the reason why even important? i dont think so. i think it makes a big difference. you're wanting us to learn new languages so it's easier on everyone else. the only reason everyone else learns english is to help their business practice's since we don't require it and it's optional, it makes a hell of a difference to me. --------------------  QUOTE (Jessica @ May 7 2007, 01:15 PM) but yeehaw dammit.
