So when you are in foreign countries, do you speak their language? Maybe you do but it astonishes me the hypocrisy of people in my own country who go on about foreigners over here should learn our language but when they are abroad they make no attempt at the language and just get annoyed when they occasionally meet someone who can't speak English!

First of all, sorry for delay. Now, I've never been to any country other than the U.S. I've been all around the U.S, but never gone outside its borders, although I do plan to sometime. However, if I were to go to another country, I know full well that I would need to learn their language, because that is the basis for their communication. Speaking English to a Mexican would most likely annoy them, as them speaking Spanish annoys me. So say what you want, but I'm not a Hypocrite. I know that if you want to go to another country, you need to learn their language.

Oh, and on a side note, there's a bit of an irony in this whole immigrant situation. Before Texas officially became a U.S. state, it was property of Mexico. Now, what happened, was that Americans began migrating to Texas. Eventually, so many Americans were in Texas, Mexico banned Americans from coming into Texas, and planned to build a wall between the Texas-American border. Of course, they never did, but if you look at it, the situation has basically reversed.

Well, good thing for us most of the free world knows English, or enough to converse.
