US National Anthem in Spanish

[Berzerker]

Bush didn't like it, alot of people apparently dont like it. So why did we invade Iraq? To show them western ideals, values, the notion of liberty and the struggle to obtain it? Wouldn't Bush, wouldn't us all smile if we heard the US national anthem in their languages next year? I'd be even happier if I heard the words of our Constitution spoken in 50 different languages.

So, Sloww, did you have a point . . . no, what am I thinking. Of course you don't.

I grew up in San Francisco, San Diego and LA, but what does race have to do with the ideals embodied in a song dedicated to the struggle for liberty?

[SlowwHand]

They can sing it in Spanish, Farsi, French. In the land in which that language is native.

[SlowwHand]

Nah. They just need to have English in what would include roads, schools, and like that. Learn the language of the country you proclaim to be a citizen. That's just manners.

[Berzerker]

thats a different issue Slow, I guess I just place more value in the ideals than the language they're spoken

The anthem is bad enough in English. Dear god, don't translate it into another language.

[Berzerker]

I was just humming it and had that same thought

Everytime you hear, " The US National Anthem should only be sung in English..." you should respond, "The Bible should only be written in Aramaic..."
