Just MY .02!
Just MY .02... Particularly after having lived in another country and HAVING to adhere/adjust to their laws and ways of living! (OK so putting aside the religious aspect of this since we are all from different beliefs of religion)...but I stand by the anthem thing!

Den, I went through this very thing back over seas when we by law no longer were allowed to sing our national anthem on graduation day .. it's ugly tobe proud of your country over there, it labels you as a racist. Why I don't know but that's how it was back there when I grew up. Not much has changed since from what I've heard. Bottom line is, you should be proud of your country ... I'm damn proud of the United States and I'm fortunate to live here ... I may not have adopted all your customs and I certainly have not given up all of what I brought with me either .. but damnit, if you live in an english speaking country, learn the f*cking language please. We should not have to learn another language so WE can communicate with YOU in OUR country!!!!

I totally agree. Part of moving to another country involves your acceptance of the possibly new and different ways of life, and rules that govern. If you are not willing to accept these, then don't come! Language is an obvious one, as not knowing the language present a barrier to not only yourselves, but to others, and continues to dissociate you as a member of that country. Topics such as religion are a little trickier, but the whole idea of immigration is to bring in diversified groups who CONTRIBUTE to the society, not LEECH off itor drag their problems with them.

RE: Just MY .02!
my grandparents actually forbid Italian from bieng spoken in their house...they said that we are Americans now and will only speak English in this house. My Brother married a Puerto Rican girl and when here family / friends are over it sounds like a mexican cattle auction......they are some of the rudest damn people I have ever met. I've lost my temper, mouthed off and stormed out of that house quite a few times over that.
