    Sorry, but your argument isn't making any sense. And even if it was, you don't get to ban languages just because some people can use them with vile intent - just like you don't get to ban kitchen knives for the same reason.

    You claim to follow American values, but I think you would fit better somewhere in North Korea, with such views.
    It does make sense don't do it around peoples spaces. Some people aren't as forgiving as I am. I kindly ask them to move away from me if they refuse then I'll get in their face and see if they like it and resort to fist fight if they want to escalate it.

    What are we gonna do now? Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?

    They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!

    What is in your control, is that you could have walked away from them so you didn't have to hear their suspicious Spanish conspiring.

    You also have the option to remove that tinfoil hat.
    Not in peoples personal space. they also have the right to defend themselves to push them away from them. Doesn't give you the right to be a dick in this fashion.

    I get the feeling he's one of those people that parks his cart on one side of the aisle and stands next to it on the other side so no one can go through, then gets mad when people try to get by because "PERSONAL FREEDOM AND SPACE!!!!"

    Actually, you are the only person I've ever heard such concerns from in my entire life. Perhaps, the problem is not in those Spanish-speaking people, but, rather, in you?

    Were they directly touching you and/or do you have a restraining order out against them? If not, chances are they do have the freedom to stand in your arbitrary personal space.

    You can't stand next to me in a queue and wear hair products I don't like the smell of, that's not a freedom concept.

    You don't have "personal space". That doesn't make sense. You were in a grocery store.

    Your definition of personal space has no affect on the freedom for other people to converse in whatever language they desire. If you don't like it...take 2 steps back and they won't be in your "personal space" anymore.

    Nah, that's too much freedom. You can't stand next to me in a queue. Period.

    A piece of paper is useless the offender wont follow it. They don't have the freedom or else I have the freedom to push them back.

    Here's the thing, most Americans know plenty of Spanish speakers and are basically used to hearing it spoken around them on a regular basis. If anything, they would probably have more of a reaction to hearing you speak in your goofy Swedish accent.

    You don't have the freedom to assault another person just because they aren't speaking a language you approve of in an arbitrary radius you define as your own personal space.

    So they did or didn't touch you? Because if you push them then that could be construed as assault and thus something you are definitely not free to do. You seem to have a confused understanding of freedom.

    Of course he does, his freedom overrides theirs.

    So you were in a grocery store, with aisles full of food and whatnot....could it ever have dawned on you that they needed something on a shelf you were standing near?

    New concept of freedom: I am free to do whatever I want, and everyone else must obey my paranoid wishes!

    I basically mentioned that twice already. He very obviously ignored the point. He knows exactly what he's doing. This is all for attention.

    If they aren't talking to you, you don't have the right to demand what language they speak. It's none of your business what people speak amongst themselves.
