Not really. I grew up in a part of Canada where nobody within 1000 kms spoke French, but yet it was on every bottle of pop and every bag of chips. Didn't really affect my life any
I don't see the problem. It's in English too. You're being catered to, be happy and stop getting upset that other people get to be catered to, too.

Well at first I thought it was just me. The final straw was when I bought a large package of incontinence pads. (True story)!
New brand for me - Well, I was sitting on the john, the phone was ringing, the buzzer on the dryer was going off, and I was trying to open the pads package. But where one was supposed to pull a tag to open the package - there was just a lot of Spanish print - In total frustration I finally reached over to the counter and got the scissors. Fixed myself up and attended to all the noise. Am seriously considering boycotting ALL products that print in anything but English.

I'm sick of seeing lots of kids toys that have a bilingual feature. While I think it's great that kids learn other languages having that their so kids don't even hear English growing up is ridiculous.
It's more than just packaging, it's signs, in shops. Everywhere.

I, for one, am sick of it. NOT that this country was founded on English, but it's what most of use USE to speak on a daily basis. I think because nearly everything has become "press 1 for English, press 2 for Spanish, is ONLY because of the illegals here. It f*cking sickens me... I think this country is definitely a good melting pot, but come on...If we wanted to become Mexico, we'd move there. ENGLISH is the international "language of business."

I'm Hispanic, but I don't feel like the Anglos need to cater to us, I knew coming into America *the legal way, thank you, I would have to learn to assimilate and learn culture your ways! I 'm an American citizen, I work hard and I'm proud to be an American! I'm not lazy like the rest of those morons, I don't need a translator! lol
