Quote: whomod said: I'll just say that i don't beleive in the 'melting pot' approach to America. You don't obliterate your very identity to please the mainstream.
And I don't suggest that either. On the other hand, I do look down on people who come to this country and don't bother to learn English. Since many people in this country speak English, to not learn it is to me a sign of laziness.
If I moved to some country where English was not the common language, I know I'd have to learn the common language spoken there if I expected to live there.
