I give up! You win. Everyone should adapt to us, we should adapt to no one! If they can't learn English instantaneously screw em!

Good luck with that one.
Something worth pointing out here is how interesting it is that anyone in the world can move here and become an American. Nobody is moving to Japan and becoming Japanese.Klleetrucking, Ruthless, 4mer trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Luck with what one?
-
I have lived in more than a dozen countries, I never said most or even many speak English. I said many speak multiple languages. Why not us? Arrogance?

Here is where you're wrong, sir.
Nobody is demanding that everyone "instantaneously" learn English. Such a task would be Herculean.
However, here in this country it is expected that people at least make an attempt to assimilate. There are classes of people who for some reason can't be bothered to do that.Klleetrucking, alghazi, Chewy352 and 2 others Thank this. -
Nope. Culture more than arrogance. Along with a crappy public school system.BIGZILLA and johndeere4020 Thank this.

Tend toward the dramatic? No one said they should learn our language "instantaneously" and no one expects everyone should adapt to us. But if you want to be here you should adapt and if we expect to live in another country we should expect to adapt to them. I can't imagine moving to a foreign country and demanding they learn my language. To me it's common sense.alghazi, 4mer trucker and street beater Thank this.

Im guessing he's running the border towns for those asking why he's asking if he runs the states. When i get to the shipper or receiver down there the first question I ask is...english? Three questions later I know what to do.

Sarcasm. LOL

So just so I'm clear, you lived in another country and made an effort to learn their language? You didn't insist they learn English? Interesting.Chewy352 and 4mer trucker Thank this.
