Just as in 1800 the population of the US that spoke Spanish was less than 1%.

And the Arabic speaking population in the EU is growing four times as fast as the English-speaking population of the EU. Are you really that ignorant? Ah yes, of course you are, you're a Trump-obsessed leftist cultist.

If I sell a million apples today, and tomorrow I sell a million and two, that is an increase of 0.0002%.

If I sell ten apples today and tomorrow I sell 12, that is an increase of 20%.

In both cases there are only two more apples being sold.

Your post is just hysterical fear mongering based on nothing but fear and ignorance.

Because I took you to task over the ridiculous part that I know something about. I wanted to discuss your claim about needing to learn Arabic in the EU as you were clearly insinuating the EU is being taken over by "Arabs". So I quoted it. Why would I quote all the stuff I am not discussing?

So when the other Trump obsessed leftist cultist said American citizens should learn Spanish, he was insinuating the US is being taken over by Hispanics?

And I have no idea what you are talking about. You obviously spend a lot more of your life on here than I do, I do not monitor all conversations, sorry.

Analogies not your thing, huh?

Try it with a red and green apples, and each day your percentage of one-color increases, while the other decreases,

Percentages not your thing, huh? Let me help.

The EU population is around 450m. Population growth is around 0.24% year on year. There was a net increase of 1,070,000 from 2024 to 2025.

The Arabic speaking population is estimated at 1-1.1%, or around 4.9m people. A tiny proportion. There are no figures available (but you obviously have some in your head - I would love you know where you got them from, God? Donald Trump?) Let's say "the Arabics" are increasing eight times as fast as the general population. Wow, that's scary!! Eight times!! Those crazy birth giving Arabs!! Those crazy net migration loving guys going eight times as fast as today!!

In ten years of outdoing the non Arabs by eight times, they would rise from 1.1% to 1.3% of the population.

If we maintain growth rates of 0.24% in general and eight times that for the Arabs, they would be at 1.7% in 25 years. And if that crazy disparity of growth were maintained year on year for 50 years they would reach 2.6%! Of course the 0.24% growth already includes net migration of Arabs so in reality it would be much less than that, but even at eight times it still amounts to nothing.

Obviously percentages are not for everyone, so if you need me to show my workings let me know.

Edit: This lesson is also available in Arabic as obviously I was forced to learn it for my own long term survival.

Leftist is a fact free Trump hater.

In addition to the translations by the ignorant, the words were not part of the halftime show. On the "Patriotic Side".

Yikes!!! Yuck! From Daily Dose of Democracy -

Not being a follower of "Kid Rock" or "Bad Bunny" I had no knowledge nor concern about them or their songs. But with the criticism of the "Bad Bunny" halftime show this appears to nail the flagrant hypocrisy. Please note that directly quoting falsely opens up the source to paying huge amounts in financial compensation so I do not doubt the accuracy reported here.

"Kid Rock’s past comments about underage girls go viral as MAGA piles on pathetic praise

MAGA's Great White Cope Super Bowl halftime show was a big hit with the "It's different, kill it" crowd, as Kid Rock, 55, struck all the right notes and hit his requisite vapid platitudes quota — and all with just the right amount of melanin to boot! Weirdly, the party of FaMiLy VaLuEs™ was able to look past Mr. Rock's incredibly sketchy past track record on touchy subjects like, oh, ya know, having sex with children, because Kid just loves his country so damn much it hurts. Past choice Kid Rock cuts MAGA clearly has no problem with include comments he once made on SNL about Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, who were 14 years old at the time: "Why is every guy in America waiting for these chicks to turn 18? I mean, you know what I'm saying? If there’s grass on the field, play ball!"

And let's definitely not forget these incredibly poetic lyrics from his 2001 "song" entitled "Cool, Daddy, Cool:" Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage. Some say that's statutory (but I say it's mandatory)."

What a patriot! Charlie Kirk would be so proud."

Let this be a lesson to white Americans still watching that garbage. Sports ball is already gay and retarded so you shouldn't care if it's in a foreign language now. This is good in fact, all the more reason to stop watching.

Thing is, it is not a "foreign language". Anyone knowing the history of the USA would know the USA has been a bi-lingual nation ever since taking 1/2 of Spanish speaking Mexico in the 1800s. Then add in Spanish speaking Florida and Puerto Rico.

Anyone that knows anything about the US knows that road signs are in English.

The left wants to make sure they have a steady flow od non-English speaking second class citizens to pick their grapes and clean their pools.

The question you need to be asking yourself is what does it say about YOU that you can't understand the lyrics of songs sung by your fellow Americans. How is it that these rap and latin sub-cultures have thrived in your very midsts without you knowing the first thing about them? What does that say about YOU?

It says that I don’t speak Spanish or ghetto, and think your reply shows that you are an asshat.

It says He speaks the official language of the United States. It says he speaks the language that the vast majority of Americans speak.

When the immigrants came here at The Turn of the 20th century, there were no cries for the vast majority of the population to learn Yiddish or Italian or Russian or polish. No one has asked the vast majority of the population to learn Chinese or Hindi. All the immigrants groups learn English when they arrived or their kids did. No one asked for a special language privileges. Are you saying that Spanish people are special or too dumb to learn English?

You have posted false information knowingly, and this post should be reported.

In 2012, 1% of the European Union spoke Arabic as a first or second language (https://languageknowledge.eu/countries/european-union).

By 2024, this had increased to 1.1% (https://languageknowledge.eu/countries/european-union)

Calculating a compound annual growth rate, I get 0.8% annual rate of increase.

In 2012, 41% of the European Union spoke English as a first or second language (https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2979)

By 2024, this had increased to 47%. Quite obviously the population of English speakers vastly outstrips Arabic speakers (the number of new English speakers in 5 year is 5x more than the entire population of EU Arabic speakers in 2012), even more if you included the population of the former EU member, the United Kingdom. This amounts (excluding the UK of GB&NI) to an annual growth rate of 0.5%.

Quite obviously your suggestion that the annual rate of increase of Arabic speakers is 2% is a complete falsehood, and a repeat of racist slurs that you regularly post, sometimes subtley, sometimes not so. This is far more offensive than criticism of an elected official.

critics alleging the lyrics were vulgar, but the live performance featured an

edited, censored set rather than the explicit original versions. "Safaera" and "Tití Me Preguntó" contain explicit, mature content in their album versions, Bad Bunny performed scrubbed, edited versions to comply with broadcast standards.

Besides that according to you no one could understand it, get your story straight

As far as the dancing , it's what your grandma used to say about Elvis, pops

I am absolutely convinced that Lamar Kendrick's half-time performance last year will end up being regarded as the best half-time performance of all time. It's current 4th best of all time rating by the critics does not do it justice. If you watch that performance with an impartial eye, it is nothing short of amazing.

Indeed.

What he actually said:

Maybe hire an American bluesman. It is the most American music that is good.

Pop music is British.

regardless of the politics , of trumps involvement, of the cries of racism or of anything else, The "music" was absolute rubbish , that kind of talentless dross is only listened to by a tiny minority of people, It was only chosen as some kind of "slap in the face" woke statement by some leftist nutters, trying as usual to enforce their views on the audience. It was hardly neutral.

Who ever is responsible for this, has again achieved their aim of sowing division amongst society , even reached a relatively unknown forum like this, thousands of miles away.

Was it not possible to pick a universally popular artist that everybody likes , singing a universally popular song ? probably not, as tastes differ. So why not settle for an instrumental , or the good old national anthem, ? Or would that be racist?

At the end of the day it was a sporting event, nobody went to watch it, or switched on their TV in order to see rubbish music. They would have been better off with a display of juggling, a magician, or a plate spinner even a drag artist

Keep politics out of sport , along with talentless musicians

Why do Puerto Ricans speak spanish? Do they not have their "own" language ? do they feel liberated by celebrating the language of those who came and colonised them?

rather pathetic really, The uk was colonised by the Roman empire , yet the british feel no woke need to sing songs in latin at sporting events, at least not yet anyway
