Way to go, France

[therealUT]

the older person is still going to go to their spanish speaking market and such. most kids seem to pick up english just fine. bilingual teaching has ruined the school systems in southern california though.

I imagine the public school system in California, much like the rest of the nation, would have been ruined anyhow.

That said, I am not in favor of bilingual education; I am in favor of education in whichever manner a private proprietor wants to teach. Public schools have become institutions aimed at stifling creative and independent thought, in favor of turning out "good citizens" who have an amazing capacity to memorize BS, yet have little to no capacity for applying logical thought to anything.

I don't believe he's calling for bilingual education but learning a 2nd language

Correct.

Side note that is not pertinent to this or any discussion: my fiance just handed me a Monday morning Mimosa, replete with slices of fresh strawberries. Life is good.

and if you go back on the 3rd day you'll think you stepped on the set of Deliverance 2: Spawn of Banjo Boy. Plenty of those people milking the gov't too

They took or jobs!

Once you get out of the major hubs, you will have a much more difficult time communicating if you do not know either the local language or are fluent in a closely related language.

Yep. The moment I left Tokyo, the couple years I spent learning Japanese had to kick in or I would have been screwed.

I want American students to learn second languages as well. The job market is going to be very competitive, and I think people would certainly benefit from learning as second language. I just think that everyone should speak a common language in this country as well. I really don't see what the issue with that would be.

i'd rather we spent more money on getting kids to write english properly. this is a complete lost art. recent grad's resumes these days are filled with grammar errors. the cover letters are even worse.

I'd say that has a lot to do with reading for entertainment no longer happening.

To fix that, I'd say the way to go would be for schools to allow students to read more books they actually might enjoy.

Women also cannot drive in a housecoat in California...

Laws against ski masks are inane, as well.

Apparently it is illegal to walk around in a semi turgid state in my city.

Aside from turning Paris into public enemy number one for all Islamic terrorist, this law effectively oppresses these women even more. The women who are currently forced to wear the burqa (which is not all women who wear the burqa), are now just going to be forcefully kept out of the public.

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard!!!

You deserve the Neville Chamberlain appeasenik award of the week.

It's like you are condoning the behavior of the radical moslems.

The burqa, nor the veil, not even the hijab is mandated by islamic sharia law, it is only the custom of some misguided radical fundamentalist sects, the French certainly don't have to put up with immigrants dictating public behavior.

Only when you stand up to their demands and cease a program of appeasing every single complaint by compliance with their unreasonable demands will they stop making new demands every single day.

Vive La Fance, it's about damned time.

Now if you would just get you froggy little butts out of Ivory Coast you might be worthwhile yet.

As proven by the enormous numbers of immigrants that are serving in our military.

And the one that likked what...6 people at Ft. Hood last year.

 

[gasguy98]

Yet you choose to cite a technology that Europeans had been using for hundreds of years by the time Columbus sailed across the pond.

Some people choose to be stupid. You found one here.

Actually it was twelve, thirteen if you count the unborn baby one woman was carrying.

Another moslem is now being tried in Arkansas for murdering two young soldiers at a recruiting station in an unprovoked surprise shooting, that is how he chose to serve.

Additionally, France is now considering a bill that makes it a crime to display any foreign flag on French soil.

Netherlands, Denmark, France and Germany, among others, are realizing the liberal mantra of multiculturalism isn't working out so well, mainly because there are so many who do not want to assimilate but rather conquer.

This is a problem america will have to face at some point, the sooner the better, for everyone, including any immigrants that truly do want to assimlate and actually become functioning Americans.

Yeah, screw immigrants for trying to ruin America.

I've got five bucks that says you fap to a picture of Bill the Butcher every night before bed.

Nah, forgoing a trade commission for a much safer bet.
