Irony is ironic.
If you're going to rip on another racial denomination for not speaking English, the least you could do is do it correctly.

I get mad when i see Spanish subtitles on boxes or a Spanish news channel, i wonder how far is to far. I do not hate immigrants but i demand them to learn English if they come here. here are my reasons.
*ahem* You get mad over strange things. Why would Spanish subtitles bother you? They're not speaking in Spanish, are they? Spanish-speakers should have a right to watch those channels/movies/etc too.
If it angers you to see something in Spanish like that, why in the world would you watch a Spanish television channel? It's like complaining that hitting your head on the wall hurts. If you don't like it, then stop watching it/doing it. Duh!
#1. If Spanish is on a cereal box why isn't everyone language known to man, not every one speaks English or Spanish in America.
Because the majority speaks Spanish or English. If you come to America, and you don't speak a word of English, you're screwed, and that's your own fault. Sorry if I'm being harsh, but be serious. Also; I find it weird that you picked a cereal box, of all things, as an example. It's not like cereal boxes are important in any way.
#2. A country needs a dominant language to be successful and and to unite everyone in a way.
There is a dominant language, you doofus. It's called English. A dominant language is the language that a majority speaks, and guess what? The majority of Americans speak English, at least to some degree. Also; I know how everyone in America is united. They're all in America, and most of them chose to be there! Whoopee!
If by "dominant" you mean dominant as in "what absolutely everyone speaks/does/etc", then here is my response: yup, just like The Holy Roman Empire needed a dominant religion for unity. And look how
that turned out.
#3. Language should be like currency, you should have one main one, not a bunch.
But why? You need to supply a reason why English is the best language and everyone should speak it. I get that it would be practical if everyone spoke the same language, but it is
waaaaaay too late to start doing that now. English is a universal language. Most countries teach it as a mandatory class in their schools. That should be good enough for you. Because that's exactly what you're asking for. Idiot.
i do not think people should only know English, i encourage learning other languages, but putting multiple languages on all items can lead to problems, and possible decrease communication in the USA.
*facepalm* Again; can I plead
how? You encourage learning other languages? Are you a bilingual? Trilingual? Do you speak multiple languages? I will further destroy you when you have answered that question.
Putting multiple languages on things can lead to problems...such as what? Idiots getting mad over nothing? If you cannot read the label on, for example, a lamp, then you should not buy the lamp. The primary statement there, is two languages. English and another language. So why do you care? Your language is on there. It's only fair if somebody else's language is on there too. I get that you think it'd be easier and simpler if only one language is on the lamp, but you only say that because your native language is English. Let's say your native language was Spanish, but you spoke English fluently. Even so, wouldn't it be ten times easier for you to read something written in Spanish? It's about acceptance and making life easier for the immigrants(note correct spelling).
Decrease communication? On the contrary, it would
increase communication, by making it easier for immigrants(again, note the correct spelling of the word) to read, speak, and do the things they enjoy.
Thank you and good night.
