This is why America is in decline. The world is rapidly rising and globalization making the world flat, and some Americans are still resisting bilingualism, free trade, immigration and so on. I guess issues like evolution and Janet Jacksons nipples are more important.

Tell me, do immigrants to Iran make Iranians learn another language other than Farsi, to accomodate them?

Didn't think so.

We speak English here. Deal with it.

Here's a question to ponder-- if this poll is supposed to prove if Americans don't want a bilingual education, why didn't it just ask-- do you think Americans should learn Spanish in school?

Makes sense...

Everyone speaks English or French here, and we're just a measly 3rd world country. People all over the world are adapting to globalization and learning 2 or 3 or even 4 languages, while a growing movement in America is against these things and is more concerned with evolution and marrying their sisters.

You should speak English, as it is the international language of commerce. There is absolutely no reason for us to learn spanish, however.

I am not aware of anyone lobbying to marry their sisters, just gays trying to marry each other. You wouldn't know anything about that, since you have zero gays in Iran, right?

Well you just proved my point.

Here we have the whole world rapidly rising and adapting to globalization in a flat world where competition is becoming more and more tough, and there you people are worrying about two guys holding eachothers hands in the street.

Americans should learn spanish, but he never said it should be the first priority.

No, I am someone who can see through the crap that your poll is really portraying. It doesn't address Obama's policy stance at all, the way the question is asked is clearly confusing and biased.

So we should expect that others learn english for "language of commerce" but we should not learn spanish to prepare for the ultimate majority of hispanics in America?

Riiigggghhhtttt
