I guess I don't interact with Spanish speakers that often. Mostly I get asian people who don't care enough to learn English.

And FUCK French. It's a snooty bullshit language designed for talking down to people. Spanish (I'm talking real Spanish, not the Mexican bastardization) sounds much better. But that's just my opinion, of course. Fuck French.

Mexican kids aren't allowed to have toys unless it is a soccer ball.

I had a black woman get really pissed at me because I asked to see her ID. Her card wasn't signed.

Too bad I do that to anyone without a signature on their card. Stupid whore.

I disagree. French is a beautiful language and flows smoothly. Spanish, niggard whether it's Mexican Spanish or Spanish Spanish, sounds choppy and rough.

French is the worst language I can think of to listen to, period.

Regarding the illegal immigrant stance, not all foreigners are illegal, and many do end up learning English (at least around here). I personally find it irritating that people are so damn high and mighty about it when their ancestors likely came over here not speaking a word of the damn language themselves. Most of these jackasses are merely speaking from the, "If English is good enough for me, then by god it's good enough for the rest of the world!" attitude, and it's just sickening how self-centered people are about this.

I think French is better than Spanish, but I've said that enough as is.

I've heard a lot of people say the whole world should speak English and only English. I find it foolish and sad because these people don't care how language is apart of cultural identity or anything of that sort.

I think a central language would actually help ease tensions in the world, but it's just bad to attempt to force it on others.

English is the hardest language to work and adapt, has the most rules and is the most complex... apparently. Though, there will NEVER be a universal language, anytime soon atleast, maybe a few thousand years from now we may see some sort of unity in language, but anytime soon not a chance.

I would never want a universal language.

Why?

Just feels like it'd be something to slowly strip us of something...

It would also be a uniting factor for humanity. Personally, I would gladly rid myself of culture for the preservation of humanity.

I'm a bit torn on this, but I think I'd be for a unifying language. It would be another step closer to the world being, uh, united, to be redundant.

Just imagine what we could accomplish with the whole planet under 1 banner.

What we could accomplish could go both ways. I don't trust mankind, honestly, or have much hope that a lot of good would be accomplished, but I'm skeptical and I've no reason for my skepticism, sadly.

Honestly, a unification of mankind will not happen until we trust each other. That won't happen until after a fair period of goodwill, so I'm thinking that by the time this would truly happen, we'd have moved past the possibility of large-scale failure in regards to human relations.

Possibly, but then again look at our species. We can put on a mask of sorts and still hold hidden grudges and the sort. We'd unify, but there'd be much backstabbing in the higher-ups and it'd slowly poison into the common people. It's how our kind rolls, sadly.

We're ever moving towards mutual cooperation, even despite the crap we still pull. At some point we'll pass the event horizon and actually make it, I think. :)

I guess, despite the optimistic attitude I push out at people, I'm still a pessimist at the core. Maybe they will.

I might be the reverse, or have a slight multiple personality disorder. :p

Dissociative Identity Disorder is so sexy.
