wait until man made global warming is finally shattered, those looks will stick for months.... nah, they’ll just decline they’d ever heard of it.
English is the language of computer design and computer programming. Try writing a computer program using Chinese and their 5,000 characters to see how it doesn’t work.
The Liberal Look - also known as the Deer in the Headlights Look. Funny!!!
Your wife is right. By the way, I’m also a naturalized citizen originating from Europe. Learning languages is easy for anyone if you start them off early. Liberals are the ones who are stupid.
All you have to remember about talking to a Liberal.....FACTS are KRYPTONITE. They usually are repulsed by those....like Dracula to the cross......or a demon to Scripture. It’s funny as hell to watch. Watch the Exorcist, sometime. Exactly the same.
I’ve seen the same looks of the faces of 2 Brit airheads who were in the airport lobby 4 months ago and who struck a conversation with my Canadian GF who’s an RN in BC, Canada. She now practices in L.A.
“So you were a nurse in Canada? You must have the greatest healthcare in the world unlike here in America...”
GF: “Actually it’s the most horrendous. If you get surgery in Canada, the chances of you getting on the waiting list is 6 months average and the odds of dying increased since the 80’s. Well, it’s more than horrendous..”
The look on those people’s faces was priceless.
You married a keeper.
That’s the truth! Spent a week at a resort in the Dominican Republic this past spring. It was inhabited by 95% Italian vacationers of which we found only a few who could speak any English.
I don’t argue with liberals. I feel like I’m beating up little children. Makes me feel ashamed and dirty.
The root of it is that the basics in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and to a degree, French can sound the same.
There are some people who do speak more than one language in Europe... just as there are here in the US.
Seems to me that your wife snidely sidestepped the issue of speaking multiple languages and how it’s beneficial rather than addressing the issue.
I’m a monolingual myself, I just don’t see how it could possibly be a point of pride.
Will someone please explain to this idiot (me) what she meant by some Europeans don’t even speak one language? I don’t get it. I’d claim a blonde moment, but I am an auburn brunette.
Because? Did the liberal twits realize W speaks English and Spanish, and their messiahs (BO and algore) can only speak one?
Of course we all realize the liberal twits will quickly explain it away (after the initial awkward deer-in-the-headlights look) as "Well, it's more than just being able to speak another language!", or some such nonsense meant to be witty or enlightening, but liberals are still stupid and one-dimensional.
Personally, I find the lack of good English HERE to be of more concern to me. In spite of the tendency to admire 'British Accents' (GEICO Gekko, Product Pitchmen), our schools are doing a lousy job at correcting equally lousy family American cant and thus dooming these kids to either lower class or learning on their own!
