I never understand the "If I have to put up with bullshit, so do you" attitude. God forbid the U.S. be *gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp* accommodating. That would be horrible. What would the rest of the world think of us if we were kind people? Can't have that.

Hell, I went on a two week trip to Paris and still had to pull on my rudimentary French to be able to read signs, get directions in the subway sometimes, order in restaurants, etc. Many people there speak English. But as that's not the primary language, if I ever lived there, I'd need to learn French in order to fully be able to live my life. At least that's how I see it.
