It is necessary for all in a nation to speak at least one language IN COMMON, not exclusively, but IN COMMON. Culture is the more important thing that a nation should share in fact more than anything culture should be what defines a nation, but Language shapes culture. A common language, that is a language IN COMMON, yet not an ONLY langauge is what is needed to communicate the Culture of that society. Mult-culturalism is not the same thing as multi-lingualism. Yet in Commmon should be one language that all do understand and speak, though all may know and speak many languages let them have all one language common to all. |

At least in the USA we don't demand that you Immediately begin to speak American-English, but give everyone time, now, to learn the language.

To all of you NOT living in our countrys. EVEN the older immigrants, wich learned german, work here and blended into the society THEY hate the new immigrants. They cannot stand the way they come here and ignore the country they now live in. IF you are in Rome, do as the romans do. You will know who the problem is? iT is not the asians, they come here and work and really try to be part of the country. Its not the other westerners because they have our cultural traits. Its the blacks and east europe and the middle eastern immigrants that bring us to our knees.. |

German Chancellor Angela Merkel: "lmmigrants should learn to speak German" Quoting: mathetesAttempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says.

A recent survey showed that more than 30% of Germans believed Germany was "overrun by foreigners".

"And of course, the approach [to build] a multicultural [society] and to live side-by-side and to enjoy each other... has failed, utterly failed." In her speech, the chancellor specifically referred to recent comments by German President Christian Wulff who said that Islam was "part of Germany" like Christianity and Judaism.

The rest of the Germans gave up their right to having "their country" when they supported Hitler and killed the Jews. They've been paying reparations ever since. Germany is no longer "their" country. It is just as multicultural as America, maybe even more. If the Germans don't like it, then they can leave because there's NO WAY the world is going to tolerate another Holocaust. Germany simply cannot afford it. |

For example Japan has been a really closed off society. They are very xenophobic of others and have very restrictive immigration policies. I had an attorney friend that moved there in the nineties,to open a business.He said it was very closed off. I remember in the 80' a ship of Vietnamese refugee's showed up in japan. They would not even let them off the boat,They just gave them food and water and escorted them out to international waters. Of coarse the USA took them in. The USA has had very open immigration policies towards third world.The Asians assimilate good and had a good work ethic. But the Muslims and blacks for the most part destroy societies and do not add any thing positive. |

Their debt to the Jews is FAR from being repaid. They can no longer be trusted to properly run their own country. They must remain under constant surveillance by the rest of the world. With this latest alarming statement by the German chancellor, it's clear that Germany is going to need assistance with reenforcing their Holocaust education, and they're going to need a new chancellor that's more in tune with mainstream Germany. Apologies to the minority populations in Germany are also required to resolve this latest outrageously racist statement. If Merkel isn't up to the task, then it's time for her to go. |
