Like I said.... done. I've already responded to all, and I've now got more important things to do. Namely, killing all the Skaarj in Bluff Eversmoking...

I absolutely love that game. Can't believe it's over 20 years old. Bluff Eversmoking was one of the most memorable maps. Shoot the Na Pali crucified on the cross for a free mega health.

Well, that's why they're amendments, they can be amended. The Founding Fathers knew that times change, and with it, so do the needs of the country. Personally I think we should have an official language. It hurts nobody and anybody who says otherwise is full of shit. When in Rome, do as the Romans. If you think otherwise, then that's how your country becomes another people's country. A common, universally understood language is key for a functioning society.

However, something tells me one political party in the US would fight such a change tooth and nail, under the guise of moral superiority.

Why is it so funny? Do you think the Europeans who washed up on American shores bothered to learn Native American languages? Look how that turned out for them.

If people are going to immigrate and live here, they should have the courtesy of being required to learn the common language. If they wind up in an ER and are unable to communicate or are in a situation that requires accurate communication, then they should be able to do it. I literally have no fucking clue why this is such a "lolz" or "boomer" concept. It actually makes me quite sad to see how many "enlightened" folk of today are opposed to this.

Do yourself a favor, Beowulf. Move to another country and expect the natives to conform to your language. See how that works out for you.

Hmm, no, I know you think that's a cute "gotcha!" response, but it's not.

It's more like this. If you're going to immigrate to our society, learn our laws, customs, and way of life, then at least be linguistically capable to function. Why does this concept trigger a REEEEEEEesponse from somebody like you? It's what all, ALL LEGAL immigrants endure. They go through English courses and usually take pride in learning the common language. It's lazy fucks who believe "When in Rome, do what the fuck you want and call the natives racist" that subscribe to your line of think.

I remember ordering food from a local restaurant and the girl working the counter struggled to understand my order. I live in PG County, MD, one of the so-called "sanctuary" areas in Maryland and one of the bluest counties in the entire US. Why is this girl working and living here and is barely capable of understanding basic English? What happens if she ends up in a situation where she needs to effectively communicate?

Again, why is this such a "boomer" or controversial concept? What the fuck happened to common sense? Or should we all just not give a fuck and let our country go to whomever shows up for it?

I think people on this forum should have the courtesy of being required to have an IQ above 60 to post but that isnt gonna happen either.

I'm so badass. Saved 10 Nali Priests (I'm a humanitarian), killed 22 Kraal, and 10 Skaarj. Then to top it all off... made myself a 1/2 pound cheddar cheese burger... no bun. :)



/e My favorite part is when I get the chance to snipe one of the Skaarj's heads off, and they feel around with their hands to find their head. Damn hard to get a screenshot of that.
