I personally have a problem with it. I am of the belief that if you are living (whether legally or illegally) in a country you should know that countries predominant language.

I think the problem is that in the US we are so frickin accomadating of all the thousands of other languages that people are just to lazy to learn English. Why should they when everything (and I mean everything) is translated into Spanish for them (and you can get things translated in practically every language). We set ourselves up for this be being so accomadating.

Now, I haven't been to Europe but I've heard (so obviously don't quote me because I could be incorrect) that almost nothing is in English. Yeah you're going to find people who know the language (English) but otherwise you need to know their language.

I mean I wouldn't go to like Germany and expect everything to be in English for me. Unfortunately people expect it here. Get pissed if it's not and then sue claiming the BS of "racial discrimination" (and I'm only talking the BS of racial discrimination when it comes to people bitching about translations of items).
