Times are changing my friend. I am one of the most adamant in the USA
regarding the use of english as our language but I fear I am ****ing
in the wind. In most of the foreign countries I worked in, I had to
learn at least a modicum of the language to survive. It is indeed
unfortunate that our education system, and by extension, most
Americans, never learn a foreign language well enough to carry on a
simple conversation in anything but english.


It's much more unfortunate that immigrants and natives never bother to learn
English to begin with, and then the state panders to them to maintain them as
parasites on society, instead of useful contributors.

I guess it beats being in arabic......or Finnish? ggg


How many foreign languages are public documents printed in in Saudi Arabia?
