I mean really... what is wrong with people not speaking the same language as you?

nothing. . .as long as they stay in their own country.

Seriously, nothing divides a common culture/nation like seperate languages. Take a look at your Canada. The French speaking section has made efforts to secede from the rest of te nation.

If there exists an interest to bring people together then common communication is a must.

My guess is, that if you heard a story of an expat (US) living in Mexico, who refused to learn the local language, you would have a different position.

. . or are you just against all communications?
