i see we have some america haters in here :squint:









seriously though : tark u realize im just messin around in here i hope. i know your canadian and all but i tried to slow it down enough

having two languages is fine and those countries you pointed out it does work. but your forgetting one thing, and i'll use your precious quebec as an example and you as the direct example. You understand both languages that are seen as the "approved" languages. you can read them, write them, and speak them. granted english is your poorer of the two, but still the point stands you understand and can use both quite proficiently.

the issue at hand about language here is that these people coming in arent taking the time to do that. they are saying fuck it and expecting everyone else to accomodate their language they are bringing in and not the language that they are coming into. they arent showing any interest in conforming to the standards that are in place, and would rather see the standards and the majority for that matter change to suit them. and that is what about the national language that is at discussion here...thats how its being destroyed
