When I hear languages that I don't understand I get the desire to learn more about it as well as there history of where it is originated from.

 @9HXC8R2Women’s Equality from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

When I hear languages I don't understand I don't feel any way. The whole time I just be hoping they are not talking about me.

 @9JWJ2FLRepublican from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

If people are speaking a language I don't understand, it doesn't bother me. I am curious about where they are from.

 @9JYTY6KDemocratagreed…1yr1Y

Many languages and cultures are interesting, and sometimes it makes me want to investigate deeper and learn more about said language/culture.

 @9JWL9DT  from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I don' feel anything. It's another laguage that I didn't learn. Because I know there's more cultures than my own.

 @9K5FRXW from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I don't feel everyone should learn English but at the same time you are in a country that is primarily English and if you are living here I think you should.

 @9J4RMTTDemocrat from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I think how cool it is, there are so many cultures and languages in the world it makes me want to learn them all.

 @9K5L4TT from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9K5G4KGIndependent from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I don't mind it, Just like the majority minorities rights should be respected.

 @9K5FZBV from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

My first response is confusion, but then I remember that not everyone speaks English like I do. After that, I don't pay it much mind.

 @9JWLQ62 from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I feel left out because they need to put different language classes as early as kindergarten

 @9K6RD8K from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I think all people should be granted equal rights no matter of race, religion, or gender

 @9K5LJNX from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JWC9TD from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9LK4HWW from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I would not wish to hear a language that I don't understand in the United States of America. I feel that English is the primary language in my state and I'd like to keep it that way.

 @9K6L58D from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I don't mind if people speak a different language that is a part of their culture

 @9K6Y84D from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

It feels nice that everyone has their own language or that it's really cool and interesting as a person who speaks two languages perfectly.

 @9JVJF7H from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

confused, because i don't understand whats going on.

 @9JVH5VS from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

that is a good thing to see people having different culture and languages

 @9JWBBGC from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

When I hear languages I do not understand, I am interested in their backstory and where they are from. I feel that way because I honor diversity and want to know more about cultures that differ from my own.

 @9K5D6JY from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

It doesn't really affect me. I think it's interesting to hear other languages, and I actually wish I could speak something other than English.

 @9JVJCKJ  from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I am trilingual (Spanish, English, Greek (learning Italian) )so I don't really mind

 @9JVJ64NWomen’s Equality from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I like hearing new languages because it lets me get insight into other people cultures

 @9K6Y2T9Republican from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I think it is cool to hear new languages because it shows the true diversity in our country.

Israel Sinks Syria's Navy

Israel said Tuesday that it had destroyed Syria’s navy in overnight airstrikes, as it continued to pound targets in Syria despite warnings that its operations there could ignite new conflict and jeopardize the transition of power to an interim government.Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said that the Israeli military had “destroyed Syria’s navy overnight, and with great success.” His remarks appeared to confirm Israel’s responsibility for the destruction documented in the Syrian port city of Latakia, where photos showed the smoldering remains of ships sunk at their dock.Mr. Katz said that Israel’s military “has been operating in Syria in recent days to hit and destroy strategic capabilities that pose a threat to Israel,” although he did not indicate what new or immediate risk Syria’s navy presented to Israel, which has the most powerful military in the Middle East.Israeli warplanes have conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, according to war monitors. Israel has characterized its operations as defensive, saying its military was striking suspected chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria to prevent them from falling “into the hands of extremists.”“From here, I warn the rebel leaders in Syria: Those who follow Assad’s path will end like Assad,” Mr. Katz said.As the Assad government fell to the rebels over the weekend, Israeli ground forces advanced beyond the demilitarized zone on the Israel-Syria border, marking their first overt entry into Syrian territory in more than 50 years. An Israeli military spokesman on Tuesday denied reports that the military was advancing on Damascus. The spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said the military was inside a buffer zone between Israel and Syria and at other points “in order to protect the Israeli border.”Earlier Tuesday, Geir Pedersen, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, called on Israel to halt its “very troubling” military operations there, and said de-escalation was needed. “We are continuing to see Israeli movements and bombardments into Syrian territory. This needs to stop,” Mr. Pedersen told reporters in Geneva.
