Question for AMERICANS ONLY?

I GOT YOUR BACK, BRO!\n\nThe peopel who founded this country spoke English, so why can't those who come here from other countries learn to speak OUR language? They sure don't bend over backwards to accommodate us when we visit their countries. Or even if we move there, we have to learn THEIR language if we intend to survive.\n\nThey have TESL classes in our schools (Taking English as a Second Language)...IT SHOULD BE THE FIRST, LAST AND ONLY LANGUAGE...IF you are an American!!!!!!!

I guess that depends who answers it.  I'm an American, so I answer from an American point of view.  Just because of the sheer number of Americans I think that a large number of the people on this site are from the US.

Americans do understand the complexity's of this issue.They only need a leader to set things in motion,a catalysts to motivate them into action.I'm not sure if it will help or make the issue even more violable.When I talk to others that I meet in my travels I see a passion behind their words that I hadn't seen before.They are angry and want to do something to help preserve our American way of life.I know this is like a festering sore ,that needs to be cauterized.By uniting with other Americans perhaps a solution to this problem can be found.Action is the response not the motivation.My tax dollars are being tossed away on people that hate this country and any thing American.

Hi again Mayso...\nGoing by what I have learnt (we don't exactly worry about the US here in Australia :P) American politics has never been driven by democratic ideals, rather the economics was the driving force behind many decisions made. However, these decisions were made with the American people in mind.\nI would suggest going to Google, and having a looksie...\n:)\nGood luck

Isn't it amazing that American's can only answer a question like this by saying "...but, we won the war for you!".\n\nHe-Man ; Shut up and eat another cheeseburger, you w*anker.

You know you have asked one of the most pertinant questions I have read for a while.On the surface you have opened up a potentiel minefield here.\nI am english.I have visited the USA many many times and have loads of great american friends.I have written many times in this column poking a little ironic fun at "the yanks".\nMy experience is that" the average american" and remember we are talking the average,is warm, generous and very naive.They often have little or no understanding of other countries or their cultures. Often to the extent of having little knowledge outside their own state.Because they lead their lives around Oprah, Jerry Springer,World wrestling are easily influenced by tv propaganda they have become, unfortunately, the butt of jokes.I dont know the exact figures , but my understanding is that"Joe" doesnt travel outside the USA.I believe they have a blinkered view of the world. An observation confirmed by the replies I have received from americans. Self irony doesnt exist for you.Loosen up and dare to poke a little fun at your "leaders".The other point is remember that God isn't american.Try to learn and understand a little of other cultures and beliefs.You dont have to agree just take a look.Take care. Good Luck

If you look at all of the polls that the news media have conducted, the answer is that most Americans think that the administration is a joke.  I'm one of those people.  I don't believe that Bush will be considered as a "great president", not even a good one.  Both parties are trying to rally for the mid-term elections which means blowing smoke, as if they have ever really worked. So, on the whole, I would say that Americans are very unsatisfied with our current administration. By the way, if you want a real outlook on how Americans feel, check out Democracy Now! (the exclaimation is actually in the title, I'm not shouting)

I guess you refer to the USA president and its government. This is a good question... but it should yet have been asked and resolved years ago!! Poor USA.

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.

It's weird if you are an american and still ask the question like that. I am not surprised that no any answers here. Because you can not handle thinking about others.

Please go to school and get educated in American History, World History and Social Science. You make many unfounded clams and baseless statements. You are allowed to feel towards us Americans (democrates or not) how you want but we Americans in general are united (hence United States) no mattter what party we are. Read all your different threads you started here mate and see for yourself.
