ViperPilot 0 #17 December 23, 2005 People who move to a country for an extended amount of time and refuse to learn the local language (at least somewhat decent, doesn't need to be perfect) should just get the fuck out. If you're too lazy to learn a language after being in that country for a year or two, you should just move your lazy ass back home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're too lazy to learn a language after being in that country for a year or two, you should just move your lazy ass back home. Oh. I see - but this only applies to non-Americans... I mean, to be honest, most of the Americans I've been in touch with in different parts of the world can hardly say "thanks" or count to ten in the local dialect/language , even though some of them have stayed in that (insert a non-English country here) particular country for years. "Oh, I get by with my English just fine" is the most common answer when someone asks about it... Some people fear languages they don't know. I think having different languages is a richness. Oh, and if you don't like it down in Florida, you could always stay away from there, or try to learn some Spanish. It's not like someone is forcing you to go there, is it?

That freedom was written in English. If you don't read English then you're not aware of the freedom! Mike. PS: English is actually OUR language! You've had a free loan of it for quite a while now, so either give it back or start paying for it! One More: "Uncontrolled Immigration has been American's curse!" - American Indians.

shropshire 0 #24 December 23, 2005 Yeah Right When you move to a country you should learn the language(s) of that country so you yanks shouldn't be speaking English.... you should be speaking the languages of the Aboriginal peoples This narrow minded crap really pisses me off - Live and let live .
