The traditional greeting would be "hola", the mf thing is for the Korean dude who does not speak Spanish.

I read other day in a paper, that some of the immigrants going into the UK refusing to take English lessons are claiming Dole on the account of not being able to get a job because they cant understand the language!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shro … 364241.stm ... another story.

The second one i don't really have a problem with, They have English signs in most of Spain etc..

I guess you will need to kick out all those Irish and Scots out of the UK since they don't speak "British English".

I just started heavily editing the flamewars beginning from page one. After deleting a bunch of flaming posts before i got to this page, and saw it continuing, I saw no future for this thread. Now that sucks, because the subject was somewhat interesting. As you seem incapable of keeping this debate on a mature level, I'm closing this one.

/closed, dammit.

15 post deletions and some undeleted post editings later, I am ready to reopen this thread.
HunterOfSkulls, good posts, but keep the personal stuff out of it. Editing had to be done..
usmarine2007 and LaidbackNinja, ease up on flaming each other.

I can't believe I just spent 30 minutes with this thread to make it open for public again.

Because it was during the colonial era. But there were many tribes and different langauges, the British only cared about conquering. I doubt the Mexican Army would invade USA. If you are an immigrant, at least first learn a bit of the language in that country. In Taiwan it is also a problem where foreigners come to Taiwan and do not even know the basics of Chinese, but meh, everyone is learning English here so I don't think it's a major problem.

I was watching a video on Singapore the other day, they can fine someone $150 for not flushing the toilet in a public restroom. THAT is a law we need in America. $500 fine for pissing on the toilet seat.
I wouldn't fine them.  I would make them spend an evening cleaning the public restrooms.
How would you prove anything? Video cameras?

We (in the Netherlands) have a system called 'inburgeringscursus' which requires new immigrants to our country to pass an exam to prove their will and ability to integrate into our society.

Call it English arrogance, but the name of that system sounds like a fatal disease.

Call it a naturalization course then.
