VanBuren Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 right. but if you expect /every/ pr adelphia customer to do so, fuggedaboudit. the public schools here suck the big one, half the kids don't even know they're US citizens, and the number of people here that don't speak english is scary. probably more people (percentagewise) in europe literate in english than here. I expect every member of testmy.net to keep the forum posts in English, or they can use the PM system like i said before. VanBuren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 pakipalla, then you will see my point about the lack of englishliteracy in pr. you lived here a few months, and your english beats the socks off half the people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 jt. pr is NOT a country. it's an appendage to the us. in fact, pr chooses to not try to become a state, since this way it gets all the juicy fed funds without the fed taxes. if you still think pr is a country, take a look at your passport. (i beleive you are from pr) it will say united states in that case. it is US Territory, with all the rights, and none of the obligations. it gets to have its cake and eat it too. and being us citizens, i think more people should speak english. and i'm not saying the people are to blame, it's the government that decided to not teach the language. among other things they don't teach. a voting public unencumbered by facts and education is so much easier to control. 2 words in closing: banana republic. and i don't mean the clothing chain.

bacalao Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 Calling Tech support here in PR is a waste of time because everytime you call they tell you something different. THey have no clue (or so they say) of what the problem is, how to fix it and they won't patch you through to the miami office. I was able to speak to miami tech once and the knowledge, service and help was like from night and day. The bootom line problem here in PR is that the infrastructure is as old as the hills. So I think we might to up the creek without a paddle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If as I said language is not the issue here, PR's political status is even less so... btw I'm not puertorican, I just happen to live here and I'm not a US citizen at all. You contradict yourself: If you think PR is not a country it cannot be a banana republic. Most puertoricans think of Puerto Rico as their native country, even if they are US citizens... and millions of people in the world are well educated without speaking English; but please don't follow this thread anymore; you did open a can of worms, indeed.

krazyrag Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 well to change a lilttle of the language issue, can you guys of Puerto Rico tell me or give me your Cablenut file? because we dont live that far after all you know... hehe here's mine, before the problem i can get the 4.5mbs overall, but i would like to test another custom ccs. thanks =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jypagan Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 I expect every member of testmy.net to keep the forum posts in English, or they can use the PM system like i said before. VanBuren I don't agree with you! I am a Puertorican living in the US. If we want to speak Spanish maybe is because we have freedom of speech.I don't know on your contry but here in US INCLUDING PR( US territory) we have freedom of speech. and I'm sorry but YOU CAN NOT TELL PEOPLE WHAT LANGUAGE TO USE. If you where in my job "US MILITARY" you will be either out the door or jail. just for that racist and inconsiderable comment. Its like you go to "china town" and you tell the Chinese to speak English, just because you don't understand them. its BS but you have to suck it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jypagan Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 I want to apologize about the use of Spanish language in my post, but.. I'm Spanish (from SPAIN), living here in PR just from January of this year, and my knowledge of the English language is -at this time- not good enough for some technical explanations. Sorry, guys.

ajb62787 Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 PR is a commonwealth to the US . And I thought ADELPHIA was an United States based ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 No tienes que pedir disculpas a nadie. dejalos que se jodan si no entienden nuestro lenguaje i do speak the language, since it is impossible not to, and i am not complaining about those that /choose/ not to, or about those that can't choose, but about the decision of a narrowminded government to not /let/ the people choose which language to speak. not teaching english in school means taking a huge opportunity away from the children whose parents cannot afford to have them visit a private school that has english in its curriculum. and adelphia /is/ a us isp, however, in pr it is run by community cablevision, a joint venture between two other cable companies. when the us adelphia was bought out, the pr part got sold to these two. in fact, these two have recedntly agreed to sell to another provider. so it is carrying the name and the service, but the actual ownership differs. maybe that is one reason for the lack of communication between local and miami offices.

jypagan Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 This is an English forum. and what does freedom of speech have to do with what language you speak? If I'm not mistaken, when I sign up on this forum never was such thing stating that you can only speak english Thats my point. you are making this look like here theres a bunch of racist.

krazyrag Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 omg... this is going a little too far for just this issue. This is a english forum tho, is like you go to another foreign country and you talk your launguage, some understand you and most of them dont, they dont tell you "use our language" but you know its not right to talk like that often. What VanBuren said was just a warning,Advice, nothing more, nothing less... and there it came a big war just because some people took it personal, im from Puerto Rico but i know their Roll and how to keep this forums like it is : almost perfect, soo they are just doing their job, if they told us that then live with it really..... my bad if i talk something impolite, or say anything wrong, i got A on english but that doesnt mean im perfect neither.

hellokittylover01 Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm sorry but I would have to agree with jypagan. That comment should have never been made. Since they were translating what they were writing in Spanish. I do not agree with you krazyrag. And I think people should take it personal if someone writes something like that saying English only if your writing Spanish do a PM. No thats not right!

resopalrabotnick Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 could someone do me a favor and tell me how calling a government malicious for ignoring the native language of the majority of their citizens, not to mention electorates, nationality? do so in english, spanish or whatever floats your boat, but i would like to see your twisted definition of racist.

hellokittylover01 Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 My opinion its not racist but its not right what he wrote about the Spanish. Because like I said the person that wrote in Spanish also wrote it in English. So I think that post should have not been made. It does not mean everyone has to agree with me but like I said its my opinion could someone do me a favor and tell me how calling a government malicious for ignoring the native language of the majority of their citizens, not to mention electorates, nationality? do so in English, Spanish or whatever floats your boat, but i would like to see your twisted definition of racist.
