Spanish labels won't be as present in the future once the first generation illegal/legal immigrants die off. First generation Mexican-American adults will all mostly speak English as a first language and Spanish as a second.

How is that a product of liberalization?

Don't Walk is usually lit in red. Walk is usually green. So changing them to colors only simplified the issue.

My goodness, they want us to be accepted by the world, to give up our culture, to integrate our society to whomever comes over here. Too bad the liberals do not have that mindset toward our own Native Americans. Force our kids to speak a language they do not want to, force us to adapt a society we do not care for, pretty soon Sharia Law will be allowed, heaven forbid if you are a female if that gets passed. Liberals want this.
it didn't need fixing

Yes it did.....making this about one person doesn't actually recognize the true danger.

I'm not trying to pigeon-hole you, but this is a right-wing belief.
I hope you are right.
They started it.
Interesting how your viewpoint changes from the cop thread to this one.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the Australian cabinet approved on 3 October for RAAF Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter bombers to begin airstrikes against Islamic State militants. Abbott said "It is in our national interest that we do so, it is in the interests of civilisation that we do so. It is in everyone's best interests that the murderous rage of the ISIL death cult be checked and rolled back and that's what we're determined to do."
On 6 October Air Chief Marshall Mark Binskin announced two Super Hornets had conducted armed combat missions over Iraq although no armaments were expended. An Australian Air task Group KC-30A and an E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft have also been flying in support to fighter bombers belonging to coalition forces. The KC-30A performs airborne refueling for coalition aircraft.[186] Binskin said "One of our Super Hornet packages on the first night … had an identified target which it was tracking and that particular target moved into an urban area where the risks of conducting a strike on that target increased to a point where it exceeded our expectations of collateral damage, so they discontinued the attack at that point."
On 9 October Prime Minister Tony Abbott confirmed that RAAF Super Hornets had been involved in a "strike missions on an ISIL position in Iraq". The aircraft dropped two bombs onto an isolated building which ISIL was using as a command and control centre.
As of 17 October the Royal Australian Air Force had conducted 43 combat sorties over Iraq. Recent strikes had targeted equipment facilities, with "at least two" resulting in ISIL casualties after Australian aircraft had increased the number of missions flown to allow US and coalition forces to assist Kurdish fighters around Kobani, in northern Syria.
Also interesting how the conservatives love bragging about freedom and freedom and the freedom in this country, and welcome immigrants to enjoy the freedom we enjoy, then turn right around and say on ONE condition, YOU MUST LEARN TO ACT LIKE US, TALK LIKE US, AND BEHAVE LIKE US. Sounds like freedom to me.

If that was comparable at all you'd have a good point.

oh
We are the land of the free. As long as you do as we say. And we are allowed to bomb and kill. But if they do it back. They are monsters who must be bombed and killed.
Before someone yells "STURG SUPPORTS WHAT THESE GUYS DID!!" that is not the case.
But I still contend that you can't bomb people and expect no repercussions.
for the record
not one Aussie friend of mine is saying they would be safer if they were armed or had easier access to guns

Trying to figure out how gun control is the issue here.
so am i
was in response to this gem though
that not one aussie i know is calling to get more access to guns over this incident

I'd be more interested in learning what your Australian friends think of the local Islamic community in light of the events.
Are they still remaining open-minded and tolerant, or are they wary?
Do they think security needs to be beefed up? Should their country be disentangling from its current role in the Middle East?
