Posts: 11507 | October 30th, 2005 at 04:39pm If you want to get citizenship, you'll have to pass the test (I'm sure someone's already said that), by that time life will teach you the language.
But, yeah, I think it's pretty annoying to hear people talk other languages...I mean tourists are okay, but people who live in the country should try to learn the language to some degree. It's merely an expression of respect to others.
I'm in a foreign country right now, and I'm trying to speak their language, when I'm around other people. No matter how pathetic I am, it's better than making everyone think you're discussing them...besides, they hate Americans, so you might just get a punch in the stomach or something. 
P.S. Trust me, English is soooooooooo much easier than most Eurasian languages. |

americans=america
south americans=south america
if it was like that then you wouldn't meet new people.
Ha-Ha-Ha...If you really think it is allowed to live where you want, I can give you a lesson on immigration. You'll die before you're legal in the US. It doesn't matter where you think you belong, where you family is, what nation you think you belong to. These days, they're more likely to send you back to where you'll get killed rather than let you stay. Maybe that is right, maybe that is not. But people whose lives were ruined, families that have been seperated, children who have to live away from their parents....they won't care why America is so protective of it's treasured land and goods. I used to be totally protective of immigration laws...now I'm crying all over them every fucking day...
Sorry about that... |

OK. So, someone has a really bad life, right? It's not their fault they were born in a horrible country. So they move here. That's fine. That's OK. But when they bring their religious ways and cultural stuff here, then is that really fair? That our country is being altered so that it is like theirs? Even though they've left?
I understand they want to live how they would have had their country not been a terrible one, but it isn't fair to change our country just so its like theirs. Because it isn't theirs. It's ours.
So yeah.
o.o
that is one of the most racist things I've ever heard anyone say on GSB. I am momentarily speechless...
Okay, no longer speechless.
You say it's not their fault if they have to leave their country.
And then you say that everyone should be like YOU because they had to leave their home. Mother of fuck.
When has, an islamic person come up to you and tried to make you pray 5 times a day?
Hm?
Yet I see christian, catholic and other european religions KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR, telling you that if you don't listen to them you will BURN IN AGONY FOR ALL ETERNITY.
if those people wanna live in 'your' country, let them.
because it is not 'your' country. It is an area of land. And unless you feel like being prejudiced against EVERYONE who does not PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION or believe in the SAME THINGS YOU DO...
shut up.
Yeah! I don't agree with the religions bit. People can worship whoever the fuck they want to worship [As long and they don't try and convince me to do the same, because THEN I get annoyed! But only about 3 people have ever tried to do that, and one of them is my mum.]
But what I do disagree with is the government trying to adhere to everyone elses rules. It's like...they've forgotten all of England's traditions! For example...the latest things they've brought about is that you're not allowed to have "Piggy Banks" because it might offend some Muslins.
Now THAT pisses me off! Greatly!
Plus positive discrimination!! I hate that!!111
For gawd's sake, just stick to the old ways instead of copying everyone else England, god damn you! |

Most of this country's people are foreighnors.
Really unless your Native American, aren't you a foreighnor?
When people come to our country you can't expect them to automatically
learn our language. Some of them are escaping hardships and never had
the chance to learn english, so get off their backs. |

It isn't. You grew up learning english. It's far easier for you.
English is the most screwed up language there is. |

It is a hard language with all its different spellings of words which all sound the same, and grammar rules etc etc. I'm English, but I can see why foreigners find it hard. |

I wonder why you assumed I grew up learning English?  
I'm not saying English is easy, but it is much easier and a lot of other languages 'cuz grammar rules are much easier. Spelling is fucked up in German and French too, but at least in English inanimate objects don't have genders, and adjectives don't change according to the gender of the noun it describes; verbs are easier, etc, ect.
Before saying English is hard, try learning German, Spanish, Russian, Latin...I tried. Fuck, I'm sticking with English |
