hey

I know how to speak english very well, I would apreciate if you guys werent so ignorant and be more open mind..... The reason I ask is because other sites are doing it. I really hate people that say is America speak English, better yet if u have nothing constructive to say dont say nothing. I just tought to myself how much bigger and how many more things we would learn about this hobby if we let other reefers from other countries in. Instead you want to be the average dumb American, that all he can come up with is "Its America Speak English" Instead of looking at the benefits... That was directed to: fishman1069

St. Barnabas: Im really dissapointed hearing this from you not beign from the U.S. Think how much fun this would be if you were able to share you tank threads with your fellow back at home in the Phillipnes.

NYreefNoob: Thank you for the idea at least it shows that theres people in this site with a brain.

Im not gonna start a fight with you here. Im pretty sure this site is world wide considering Ive seen members from Denmark and Australia and other places. The point I was making is that if you want to live in a country that you are not a citizen of, you should learn the language. I wasnt directing that at you cause obviously you know how to speak/write english very well. Im just sick of everything changing in this country to accomodate other languages. If you go to another country, you have to speak their language to get around, it should be the same way here. Its just my opinion and if you dont like it dont read it!!!!!!!~!!

This is actually already in the works with 40+ languages :shhh:

Heres a quote from Teddy Roosevelt
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

If the creators need help with Portuguese and/or Spanish I can help fairly quickly with the css.

This is a fantastic idea, think about all the great reefs in Europe, Japan etc... that we marvel at and wonder how they are created. It's a matter of learning and sharing. Since the internet is worldwide I don't think its about " learning English because this is America". It's about learning. As a side note I believe this document states " we the people", not we the Americans.


"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

I totally agree. On a side note, my friend just opened a reef store in Brazil and he tells me home saltwater aquaria has only been for the super rich. Reef sites that are at least navigable in their language will help tons.

Arthur, Just in case you or your friend don't know, our friends over in Portugal have a very nice forum and have translated at least some of our Reefs Magazine articles as well as other stuff.

Thanks, I'll let him know!

hey

I'm glad to hear that this web site is expanding before we know it the knowledge about reef aquarium will be much more exciting and interesting , as far as for the whole its America speak English..... I was born in Puerto Rico as far as I know I am America. I bet my check that you are one of those tourist that goes on vacation and leaves feedback on Expedia talking about the vacation was great but they didn't speak enough English. Remember one thing this country was built by us the Immigrants, The Africans, Irish, Jewish, Italians, Latinos and the list goes on and on remember that!!!!

I wouldn't mind this translated into other languages. I want to learn new languages and maybe reading it constantly on a forum I click on every 5 min would help me out haha specifically spanish. If it was turned into my own language I could practice reading that too. isn't MR so fun guys

but overall, great idea.

Its AMERICA man learn how to speak english!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last I checked www meant WORLD WIDE WEB. If world wide means America to you, you really need to get out more.

Oh and FYI, since you're telling people to learn to speak English, it should be "It's America", and there should be a period (or perhaps a semicolon) breaking up your thought. The word English should also be capitalized in this sentence.
