The only people demanding everyone speak their language are America's xenophobic English speakers. And most industrialized countries have a lot more required bi/multilingual education than we do. Learning Spanish is practical given the situation that North America's currently in, Americans becoming bilingual isn't going to destroy our culture, it'll just make it more complex and interesting.

I picked the 3rd option on the poll and Ill explain the poll

1) Fat people who want handicapped status instead of just losing weight

It is not as easy as you think if you are NATURALLY PLUS SIZE .. Nothing you do will help!! (Critizing ppl for this is wrong)

2) Immigrants who don't learn English and want listed in the home language

Some ppl have a hard time learning other languages and often just choose not to......

3) Muslim women who don't want to take off the veil for voting, driving

THIS IS THE OPTION I PICKED BECAUSE ITS THE EASIEST TO DO.... THEY CHOOSE NOT TO AND ITS STUPID!! (Nothing says they have to keep it on 24/7 (Unless im mistaken))

4) Multiculturalism instead of an integrated society

I THINK MULTICULTURALISM IS GOOD....... Why limit one area to a certain type of people,etc??

I don't trust fat people on principle. They lack self-control.

There is no such gene as a fat gene. That's American propaganda aimed at people who think they can't help themselves.

I don't like people who use crutches. All they need is a healthy dose of morphine and they'll be able to walk.

We should ban fat people to an island that only has water and greens for salads. Once they get skinny (80 pounds or less regardless of their height), they can come back.

I also don't like people with big noses. That's what plastic surgeons are for.

Veils are nothing but a gimmick. It's probably a woman with a big nose.

I allso dont like peeple who dont speek gud anglish. If thay wunt to liv heer than thay showd lern to reed and rite amurikan.

You need an "all of the above" option in your poll.
