I'm usually intrigued and inspired to learn more some of that language. My goal is to learn at least 2 more languages before 30 and ASL and Korean are next on my list!
@9K43YXVIndependent 1yr1Y
English should be the national language, you should be able to speak at a remedial level of English to become a citizen.
@9K7DTVV1yr1Y
As a child of immigrants, I do not have a problem hearing other ethnic groups speaking in their native tongue. If anything, it inspires me to dive in and learn new things about other cultures.
@9K3S3YT1yr1Y
@9HXXPC41yr1Y
I think it's beautiful to hear languages I don't understand. I think it's a testament to how diverse and wonderful our world is.
@9QZF93N10mos10MO
I don’t mind unless it’s in specific circumstances
@9QZ2FQPPeace and Freedom10mos10MO
I think it is cool. America is built on immigrants. I enjoy the Mexican culture and food being from Texas.
@9QQX9NG10mos10MO
People can speak whatever language they want and I feel that way because I have a brain.
@9QPNT7B10mos10MO
I am intrigued and excited to have such diversity accepted onto our country.
@9PQ3CQ5 11mos11MO
Minority rights should be a given but since they aren't, they need to be protected and expanded. And, I feel dumb for not knowing a second language bc I cannot understand others when they're speaking anything other than English
@9PD6Z6911mos11MO
I find it super interesting when I hear a language I'm not familiar to because most of the time they are thinking the same thing as me. We shouldn't discriminate another language, religion, or ethic group just because they aren't the same as ours and instead we should embrace it.
@9PCP26R11mos11MO
Ambivalent. Not everyone speaks English and that's totally fine.
@9K3DRTK1yr1Y
I think it’s amazing that we have so much diversity. It’s what makes America the dream.
@9JYYN6V1yr1Y
I dont mind others speaking a different languages as everyone was born somewhere and it might not be from a place that speaks English. They have a right to immigrate here just like everyones family did before them.
@9K33G9R1yr1Y
I want to learn more languages to break down communication barriers. I wish more people thought like this instead of saying “this is America speak English”. The people here before us whites didn’t speak it.
@9JYF7BP1yr1Y
I don't feel great because I know other people can't hear their voice.
@9J4RTBP1yr1Y
I feel a bit inadequate that my language skills are limited to my native language when many people can speak their native tongue and then some.
@9LLYY9P1yr1Y
when I hear a language other than English or Spanish I think to myself "go back to your country you no good illegal"
Because I think they are ruining my country
@9K7TJWD1yr1Y
I feel no way in specific. I notice and register that a different language is being spoken, however don't feel positive or negative about it.
@9K7TJ4T1yr1Y
I don’t feel any kind of way, diversity is always good to have. People should be able to speak in whatever language they know and are comfortable speaking. There should be minority rights
Maintaining their distinct identity and culture is usually important to minority group member's self esteem and this will affect the degree of success achieved in the society.
@9LM3WHF1yr1Y
I would like to try and learn the language to understand what the people are saying.
@9JZTQDQ1yr1Y
I feel fine. It doesn't bother me at all that people speak different languages.
@9JYDVG21yr1Y
I love hearing languages I don't recognize or understand. It's very interesting to me and doesn't bother me.
@9JYB95J1yr1Y
Curious. I know language carry meaning and history.
@9J5W5BKLibertarian1yr1Y
Indifferent, language is just making certain sounds to get peoples attention. slight variation isn't world ending.
@9J4RTBP1yr1Y
When I was younger, it used to bother me because I would just assume they were talking poorly about me. But as an adult working in an international company, I find it fascinating and I wish I was skilled enough to learn another language as well as many of my coworkers have.
@9LM23BQ1yr1Y
I would love to see people's cultures and know their language, it's interesting and lets not forget their food
@9K5YRKN1yr1Y
I believe it is important to not judge too quickly or too harshly because if you think about it, none of us are the same. Someone's native language is different than yours and we shouldn't judge them for that. You could speak english and for all you know they could think you're insane. It's not fair to judge someone based on how they speak or the color of their skin.
@9K3XMBL 1yr1Y
I feel like I really need to learn some more languages so I can better interact with others.
@9J9Q33Y1yr1Y
I personally love languages and don't really mind when people speak something other than English in public. I think we are doing a disservice to people of we are not allowing as many people as possible to use their native language, especially when interacting with complex social systems like tax authorities or hospitals. more. Bi- and multilingualism has many benefits, both for brain function and for social interactions.
@9LM7NCG 1yr1Y
I just tune them out, I can't understand it so why should I listen. I'm not sure if this is really an emotion, as it doesn't invoke any emotional response from me.
I wish that I was bilingual. I don't really feel anything, I think that it's just normal.
@9J9LTY51yr1Y
I think it is beautiful. We are all so unique and offer different perspectives - different solutions to a problem. However, I have an issue if they are here illegally, using the resources of legal tax payers...
@9K4SK8X1yr1Y
Nope, who cares about the right of minority when you are ignoring the rest. Everyone will be equal and justice shall be blind.
@9JX9THJ1yr1Y
I feel happy that others feel comfortable enough to share their homeland.

Dear lord you act surprised when being called a bigot and then spout this utter bull. Let’s start from the beginning, you assume the intent of gay people as if you understand them in the slightest, but in this conversation alone, you have called them delusional, “cultists”, “abominable” (their “practices” at the very least), and as far as calling their legalization propaganda. I am LGBTQ myself, I have talked to THOUSANDS of that population, and they’re just want to live happily, that’s all they really want. The reason pride parades happen… Read more
@Patriot-#17761Y
That's a mouthful of fallacies. Let's examine them. "spout this utter bull." That's begging the question because the notion that it is utter bull has not yet been logically established, indeed that's the very point in question. "You assume the intention gay people as if you understand them in the slightest." Well, you're also kind of assuming the intention of conservatives by smearing them as bigots motivated by prejudice, when, in fact, they are realists motivated by a desire for the truth to be known and virtue to be encouraged.

Ohoh this is MY territory. Socialism itself runs off of communal, public, or social ownership of the means of production, and Marxist theory itself merely sees government as a tool to make it work overtime, gradually shrinking as the economy changes. Marx himself WAS a libertarian socialist, an extremely libertarian one at that, and a lot of his models and theories were the building blocks for working nations. The constant misinformed narrative of socialism as authoritarian comes from those nations centralizing and imbuing power into the government to handle the economic issues that OTHER nat… Read more

YOUR ideology killed one hundred million people in the sense that the SOCIALIST USSR under Lenin & Stalin had one hundred million people worked to death or executed. Preventable starvation is the fault of decolonisation in Africa, not to mention socialist policies, police killings that are unjustified amount to just a couple per year (hardly twenty million, and Alcatraz and Guantanamo are state-funded and unconstitutional, making them anti-free-market. I in fact opposed the Bush Administration's Iraq policies of war, and imprisonment.
@9CJ6CB61Y
That doesn’t change what happened in the name of your economic and political system, the same way as it doesn’t for socialism, the deaths overall tallied do lean STRONGLY towards capitalism being the greater killer, from the Indian genocides, to the colonization and forced warfare of the entire planet, the brutal attacks against other capitalist countries, the numbers stack dramatically overtime, if the government actions in capitalism don’t apply to the statistics in my argument, then what happens outside of government interference doesn’t pertain to it either.

Winston Churchill was one of the greatest men who ever lived! He saved not only his nation and Empire but also the Christian Civilisation! I have read Andrew Robert's 1100-page biography of him and clearly this man was not the deranged racist you leftists love to paint him as. He had indomitable courage, unshakable conviction, and dogged tenacity. His magnetic leadership skills, inspiration of his people, and oratorical brilliant have scare been paralleled in human history! He led Britain through the horrors of the Blitz, stood equally firm against the two evil socialist dictators of Hit… Read more

I was also referring to Churchill as a person, not in the war effort.
@Patriot-#17761Y
And I was referring to Churchill as a person too, he was a wonderful, hilarious, delightfully sarcastic man, an electrifying orator, a courageous fighter for freedom, a brilliant thinker, and in general one of the most interesting men in history. This is coming from 50+ hours of studying him, btw

Anarchism is about eliminating centralized authority.
Communities should rely on decentralized, voluntary associations to resolve conflicts and protect rights. Without centralized power, individuals and groups would be incentivized to cooperate and create mutual aid networks, fostering a culture of respect and collective responsibility.
For example, during the Spanish Revolution of 1936, many communities in Catalonia and Aragon successfully implemented systems of direct democracy and collective ownership. These communities managed to function without a central government, relying instead on… Read more
@CommonMan8MO
So what I mean is, what if there is a deep conflict between the majority and the minority in that direct democratic ‘voluntary association’? In modern democracy, the majority can prevent excessive oppression of the minority by guaranteeing minimum human rights through law. However, since there is no such law in anarchism, wouldn't the majority be able to oppress the minority if they wish?
@P0llingPlaceMussel8MO
The idea is to prevent any one group from accumulating too much power. In theory, this structure would stop the majority from having the power or ability to oppress the minority.
An example is the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. They’ve created a system of autonomous governance where decisions are made collectively through consensus, ensuring that minority voices are heard and respected. This decentralized approach spreads power across various local councils, reducing the risk of any single group dominating.
Key here is the culture of mutual respect and solidarity fostered withi… Read more

Some cultures are objectively worse than others, such as the cultures of the American Indians and the African Zulus. The American Indians, for example, hacked women and children to death in front of their husbands and fathers, drank their blood, and proudly displayed their scalps, which they viciously cut off with their tomahawks. The African Zulus were always at war with each other and slaughtered entire villages, burning their victims alive and then eating them. Those cultures were objectively savage and barbaric cultures. Western Christian cultures were objectively far, far better and more civilised.
@PragmaticGecko9MO
I just gave examples that prove they were just as barbaric. Now, I don’t even have to prove that Christians cultures have killed more than Native American and African Zulu cultures because it’s such an obvious objective historical fact. You are being intellectually dishonest if you can’t admit that.
@Patriot-#17768MO
But why did they war with the Indians and Zulus? Because they did this hellish demonic barbaric things to women and children – because they burnt, they raped, the privileged, they mutilated, they cannibalised, they drank blood. Resorting to name-calling doesn't change any of that. Just because someone points out facts inconvenient to the narrative you've received all your life and embarrassing to your positions does not make him "intellectually dishonest." I made points, you made points, this is how debates work. So let's drop the fallacies, drop the name-calling, and resolve this issue in a civilised manner. I would love it if you actually addressed what I had to say, but I'm pretty sure you're an AI bot (no offence if you aren't) so I guess it's not that important...

There's a clear and obvious difference here.
Acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harmful and will not turn kids gay.
However porn is harmful and will contribute to an already out of control problem.

For the Big Bang, there’s the observable fact that the universe itself is expanding, as differences between galaxies and other galaxies has been increasing via some unknown force, often considered to be the expansion of the universe aided by dark energy pushing things apart. There’s also the stretching of light between different galaxies when it reaches us. The light, though it’s from different times, doesn’t match to it’s original distance, and stretches in weird ways to sort of give us glimpses of different times in space at the same time, showing that these… Read more

Which, in and of itself, proves absolutely nothing.

The Federal Government Shouldn't Ever Regulate Any Private Business or Organisation for Any Reason
Period.
@9CJ6CB61Y
That’s where the two are different, in an individual level, they seem fine, but what the businesses do to get money is where the problems start. Businesses buy up other businesses, slowing competition, then increase prices and eventually leave you with nowhere else to go. That’s the end result of the profit motive of businesses left unregulated. Businesses don’t have to force you, they just have to limit your options and raise the price bar while lobbying government to make their profiteering easier. The citizens themselves might not suffer from the chains of oppression, but… Read more
@Patriot-#17761Y
If businesses buying up other businesses increased prices, why does history tell such a different story? Why did John David Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust shrink prices in the oil industry down from 58 cents a gallon before they achieved their monopoly, to 8 cents a gallon afterword, without any government incentives or price-fixing? Why did he steadfastly feel convicted that "the common man must have oil, and he must have it CHEAP"? And why did prices skyrocket when the company was broken up by the federal government?
Why did prices consistently fall, in spite of inflation,… Read more

How are you defining "left" vs "right"..? And is your argument solely using an economic scale? If someone was an economic centrist, but was socially and politically far-right, would you still consider them "moderate but not right-wing"? What exactly are you basing your "right-wing" vs "left-wing" positioning on?
Additionally, what do you consider "economic liberty"? Because I would argue that right-wing economics are NOT in favor of economic liberty, since capitalism (a fundamentally right-wing economic system) has an inherent and… Read more
@Patriot-#17761Y
but you did say: "Right-wing people support economic liberty but are in general more willing to see the government spy on its civilians via unconstitutional surveillance, and some rightists subscribe to an interventionist foreign police. Left-wing people support economic tyranny with a massive regulatory bureaucracy but are in general less willing to see the government spy on its civilians, and originally many supported a policy of peace and non-intervention, though sadly this has wavered away in recent years, especially under the current warmongering occupant of the White House..."… Read more
@VulcanMan61Y
I have explained to you what I meant by "economic liberty" so there's no fallacy there, as I have defined my terms and you have defined yours. The true debate should be over why we believe economic liberty is what it is.
Yes that is quite literally the entire point I have been trying to make: our own interpretations of "economic liberty" are entirely subjective, and even largely antithetical to each other's, hence why it is not a useful term to claim categorizes left and right-wing ideological thought.

Most socialist countries established so far were communist countries. However, socialism is not limited to communism. Therefore, non-communist socialism has actually not even been tested yet.
@Patriot-#17768MO
"Communism" and "Marxism" are the same thing. Marx is responsible for Communism.
@CommonMan8MO
So, what I mean is communism is same to Marxism, but socialism is not. In here, the socialism doesn't mean previous step of communism as Marx said. It just means all ideology that agree with socialization of capital
