You move to Germany, you speak German. Move to China, speak Chinese. So why in the hell is it so wrong for people who move to America to speak English?

Because in Germany and China, those are the OFFICIAL LANGUAGES. That's my point. English isn't the official language in the US. I say selfish and self absorbed because it's not our language to push on other people.
Grow Up.
