Grow Up.
I'm sorry, but I think it is our language to push on people. When 95% of the country speaks a one language over all other languages... that more or less make it the official language. Most business that is done in this country is done in English. It makes sense that this is the language that should be pushed on the people moving here. It makes no sense to have the people moving here push their old language on us. How would anything get done? At that point we just become several segmented countries.

Also, what's with the "grow up" comment?
