Conservatives, Do You Learn Languages?

More directly to the point it is kind of like passports. I believe people who lean right tend to be less likely to have a passport than those who lean left.

Not always true but enough to be a signal.

Agreed.

Melania Trump speaks 7 languages. How many languages do you suppose Jill Biden or Michelle Obama speak?

Well, to be fair to Melania, she DID come over on an "Einstein Visa". And I think we can all agree she's been a positive asset to the United States so far. I'm sure she fulfills a job that literally no one else would have the stomach for.

You are in fact right if you're using "like" as a preposition.
Multilingual is also the correct form, but multi-lingual doesn't even light up spellcheck.

I'll accept that you view me as a poser.

Accept that I view you as an asshole,
and fix your "shift" or "cap lock" key.

nothing to fix on my end

this is not a term paper being graded

It is informal writing - but you still need to use the correct words

"accept". lmfao. I accept that you we both know why you deleted the comment.
 
Do you libs think that most all of biden's illegals should first learn how to speak English before getting
biden's free pass to perform criminal acts on legitimate American citizens? Here we have you crazy
demorats protecting these non English speaking criminals from getting deported back to their home country.

It would be nice, but in the long run America IS a dual-language country. Spanish and English.

The problem with the low-IQ voters that put Trump in office is they don't know that many countries exist with multiple languages.

That would require them to LEARN something.

Repeated studies show regular Americans are MORE likely to commit crimes than undocumented folks.

So if you want to be scared of someone be scared of an American citizen.

Why does Spanish scare you so?

Melania isn't a born American who speaks English as her first language.
It's expected that people like she would be multi-lingual.
She's cosmopolitan, a citizen of the world.

I'd say it's far more important that you have some appreciation of other nation's culture and social expectations than a grasp of the language. In my multiple times around the planet, I've found you only really need to know three phrases in the local language to get by:

Where is the bathroom?
Two beers, please!
Not only NO, BUT FUCK NO!

Everything else is gravy.

Jill Biden and Michelle Obama have advanced degrees,
but they too probably share the American trait of not being bilingual.
I honestly don't know.

I do know Jill Biden's degree isn't worth the paper it's written on. Her doctoral thesis is a pathetic joke. Michelle never did squat with hers so it's really little more than an 'Mrs.' degree.

She has my sympathies for wasting her money on the latter.

Are there conservatives that aren't that way, and learn languages? As in conservatives who study other conservative countries like India (I think) and Hungary. But for their language learning, do some conservatives study a language for talking to other conservatives online (as in like on Discord)? For example, an US conservative would learn Hindi to speak with Indian conservatives and Hungarian to speak with Hungarian conservatives.

Hungarian is a devil of a anguage to learn, on a par with Finnish and Russian. I speak Thai and French whilst my sons speak Japanese and Vietnamese. Curiously enough despite having a Thai mother they speak rudimentary Thai.

I just like languages, I know it's rare for Americans to do so, but I'm fascinated by all the languages as a U.S. leftist. For me, I'm learning Hindi, and the main reason I learn languages is to watch videos online and talk to people in them online.

For example, there are a lot of news websites in Hindi, the language I'm learning, and I do get to learn new words from it. Mostly I learn about Modi and Indian politics. Some Indian news cover U.S. politics in Hindi. I was born in the US, and live there, I'm not Indian, but I'm learning Hindi to understand people who speak it. I am curious about languages because typically, if I type a brand name into Google there are also websites in Spanish, German, Portuguese, etc.

I was asking if US conservatives learned languages because I know a few people in the US have learned languages. Usually I know some learn Hebrew and Greek for religious purposes. But all I was asking if they learned foreign languages for any reason, just out of curiosity.

You are a great example of how AI is improving exponentially . It is quite obvious by your writing style that you are not a Human poster. Which tech company created you and and what is your program function in relationship to political message boards ?
