what other nation on this earth goes as far as we do to communicate with people that don't speak the native language?
All of them do..in Japan it is a requirement of their schools to learn at least 5 languages and one of the is usually English. In China they learn several languages including English. In most European countries English is also a requirement. In fact, the US goes to much less effort than other countries do. Even in Latin America in public school English is at least a minimal requirement.
And someone in Honduras can't have an opinion about that? How fucking stupid are you?
Unkotare, yes, which makes the language DIFFERENT, Japanese is a bit different than English.
All languages are different. What you described is most certainly NOT "the three different kinds of Japanese," and Japanese students are NOT "required to learn five languages."
Are you clear on that now?
And someone in Honduras can't have an opinion about that? How fucking stupid are you?
They can have an opinion, but their opinion is completely irrelevant.

If you live in America? Or if you live in the USA? America is a continent, the USA is the country in the Americas.
While it will better your future it should not be a law...no one should be forced to speak anything they don't want to.

Nope.
There are two continents with "America" in their name, North America and South America.
The United States of America is commonly referred to as "America," it is the only nation on the planet to be termed "America." "Americans" are citizens of the United States, no other country has peoples termed "Americans."
Americans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I realize that you're stupid, but official status doesn't force anyone to speak anything, it simply designates that all official business will be conducted in said language.
And that's the way it is. Most immigrants do learn English
and it is required for citizenship.
However, many immigrants, like many Americans have difficulty in learning another language. Penalizing people and denying them access to Govt assistance that they pay taxes for is just plain vindictive.
We have gone over 200 years without making English the official language. There is no reason to do so now
You are insanely incorrect.
There is only one 'form' of Japanese (leaving aside dialects). You need to speak to your friend again because you have been badly misinformed.
Making English the official language does not mean that everyone will have to speak english. The woman in line behind you in the supermarket can still yell at her kids in Spanish. The guy at the gas station can still speak Hindu to his worker. We are a multicultural society and like it or not, you will still be exposed to other languages
All it means is that Government publications and websites cannot be presented in other languages.
It means that the government cannot communicate with the people in a language they understand. It means that more people will not receive critical information.
If you went to Honduras on vacation, would all of your opinions become irrelevant?
How is my opinion irrelevant when I can vote in the US and pay taxes there as well? Sorry, but you could not be more wrong.
Actually usually only folks inside the US refer to it as America and not everyone there either.
Anyone with a miniscule amount of knowledge realizes the difference in USA and America... Don't site Wiki that is one of the worst citations you can pick on the net.
It is also illegal to dictate what language business is conducted in official or not...that has already been decided by the US supreme court which is why Social security
provides translated documents as well as voter ballots being printed in other languages.

The opinions of those speaking of US Federal law are relevant only for those who are US citizens.

so are you saying there are no Us citizens living abroad?
I am a Us citizen living in Honduras..that is why the discussion came up about someone who is in Honduras having an opinion...you say they are relevant for Us citizens only...well I guess you sort of stepped on your own foot there.
yeah that pesky constitution never mattered anyway did it?

You've obviously never seen, much less read the US Constitution.

and you obviously do not know what you are talking about. I have most certainly read it and in fact MEMORIZED it when I was a teenager. English only ballots would violate equal protection rights and the voting rights of non English speaking US citizens...such as Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, and elderly naturalized citizens who had no English requirement to become a citizen. Sit down and take the time to read Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
