I am the only sane person in my county. And, if I could type correctly 100% of the time, I would run for county president. Instead, I will just take a vacation on the beach, thank you.
It is astounding to listen to people not think. Even when they read simple sentences aloud, they claim ideas within those writings that do not exist. Haven’t they learned from the Russians that the written word can be used against idiocy?
It is also astounding to listen to people trying to learn a foreign language and then spouting bigotry about “foreigners”. In the interest of opening a nuclear reactor, let me air an opinion: it is impossible to tell how many illegal immigrants there are in the United States. Therefore, it is impossible to make blanket statistical statements about illegal immigrants in the US. I.e., my uncle claims “they” all get welfare and use the money to buy sportscars. A friend of mine believes that the only change in a nearby county that can be attributed to a rise in illegal immigration is exactly the number of new foreign restaurants.
Why do people open their mouths and spout off about things of which they are so obviously ignorant? Why do people proud of their reputations as do-gooders, positive thinkers, or encouragers allow discrimination, slander, and other forms of hatred exit their mouths? This benefits neither the society in general, the audience, nor the speaker.
I shall repeat here what I have opined to many: English is a weak language. Americans are using it less effectively, and producing weaker thinking in a downward spiral that will, within 30 years, turn her citizenry into little better than brute beasts. I strongly recommend (are you listening, Bill Gates?) a required 4-6 years of Latin and Logic within the US elementary and high school system.
