Reply #35: those who insist on english as the national language should be able [View All]

[niyad]

to demonstrate the ability to read, write and speak it correctly, an ability that I notice is sadly lacking in the chimperor, for one, and quite a few of the "english only" or "english as a national language" bunch. as a matter of fact, I notice this lack in a good many people --it is appalling how many of the european-derivative native-born (we are NOT talking the First Nation peoples here, thank you, they have their own languages)demonstrate a complete lack of competence in their professed native tongue.

tell me, please, what on earth is so damned threatening about people speaking other languages? how many do YOU speak/read/write/comprehend? and WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING through so many of your posts? what deep, dark lack do you feel in yourself that you insist that everybody speak only one language?
