3rdnlng Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I dunno. "Mexican Expansion" I've never heard about. I searched Google under "mexican expansion" and just hit the opposite of Mexican Expansion with the Mexican-American War in the mid 1800's. General/President Grant was ashamed of this war, as he wrote in his memoirs. It was just robbing territory, starting with the creation of the State of Texas. I guess that would make Grant a closet Mexican Expansionist but he did fight against the Mexicans in that war. Maybe there are Grant fans among the Mexicans. They would need to pay more attention to their cyber presence if they would like to be taken seriously, it seems to me, if they do, in fact, exist. Do you actually have a point that can be debated?

Who is Yuri? Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Do you actually have a point that can be debated? I'm on record for an 80% marginal tax rate on individuals who make over $3,000,000,000.00. If you're not affected by that, I've got some pretty strong opinions about Monsanto that might rile you up. I don't think that corporations should be able to patent the genomes that they scrape from farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprisingly, they left the country. You want to punish corporations too? I wonder what will happen then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well then, there appears to have been a misunderstanding, because that wasn't my post. It does appear that way, as the post of mine that you initially responded to had NOT been a reply to your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If you haven't done so already, come on down to Austin. There's a Bills Backers bar not far from where I live, so we can watch a game and I'll take you around to see the sights. Seriously, there's a massive population here that speak no English at all. It keeps them from ever earning decent money unless they either have extremely good luck or sell drugs. I'm not exaggerating. There's at least four or five people that I've known for over 10 years that can not speak one full sentence in English, except maybe 'I want beer'. The kicker is that only a couple of them are here illegally. Two of them are brothers and were raised in south Texas. Great guys, but no halba Ingles. I worked with many that didn't speak English and I remember one 60 something dishwasher who had been here over 20 years. They don't have to. They have their own newspapers, TV stations, billboards and signage in places like Home Depot. I had to learn their language just so I could ask them to compete simple kitchen tasks. This was 30 years ago and though I've been out of restaurants for 15 years I've retained most of my Spanish. It's not that difficult to learn a new language of you're motivated to be successful.

Our experiences appear to be nearly identical. I've picked up a pretty fair amount of Spanish along the way myself (most of it pretty salty) and I considered myself to be modestly capable of holding a limited conversation. Then I married a Spaniard, and I quickly learned that there is a huge difference between Castellano and Latino Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a viable comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw, I was being sarcastic in my response to the reptile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
