America is a melting pot. Immigrants built this country and while they were building it miscreants continually bitched about them speaking a foreign language. Over a generation or two they assimilate and melt into society. That's the way it's always been and there's no good reason to change it. Some of them never even attempt to assimilate and that really pisses off the dullards. Some Chinese people move here and move into a Chinese neighborhood and never learn English, but quite a few of them are really good cooks. Then you have the Chinese that come here and pack themselves into a tiny apartment. They do jobs that no one else wants to do. They pool their money, they know the value of a good education so the kids all go to college and they become doctors or lawyers or become highly skilled tradesmen or they start their own business and it seems like in no time at all they're living in a mansion and driving an expensive luxury car. They work hard and spend their money wisely.

That drives the numb-nuts ape shit.

I agree with you buddy in that I think people should be allowed to speak whatever they like no matter where they are. At the same time though, I think there should be a basic English requirement for anybody who works in public service. I remember trying to deal with a Spanish bank manager once who only spoke very broken English. It was incredibly frustrating.

It's good to see you two lovebirds still cuddling up together.

You both have the answer to the world's problems in your back pockets and shouldn't waste any more time getting onto the world stage and sorting the mess out.
