RevBabyKiller posted:The anti-porn new rule was pretty weak. Didn't even pick the low lying fruit of people getting too fat to be sexy or mention that it being easier to just jerk-off might not be entirely the dude's fault. Really though it just seemed like a generic stand-up bit with no teeth or commentary on anything even remotely pertinent Especially since every other show he goes on about how he'll never get married and jokes about how miserable married people are and blah blah and now all of a sudden its "please have sex with your wife. "

Zogo posted:Do people believe that knowing one language is better than knowing two? All schools really do now is the required 2-4 years which isn't really enough to be fluent. It's not even done at the optimal time which is when the kids are younger. Our education compared to the rest of the world is abysmal and those 4 years could prob be better spent learning something else. bango skank posted:: Why is this so unreasonable? Noones advocating that you completely abandon your culture when you come here but to not learn the language of the country you choose to live in is retarded on many levels. Every person here would be all " stupid american living in /visiting another country and not even bothering to learn the native language."

Wooty posted:This is not what they are suggesting. They are saying they want to make English the only language available - that goes against what this country is about. There is also the hidden cultural meaning, that our culture (well, the ones we approve of anyway) is superior and that they are beneath us with their other culture. They who? Republicans? Im not a republican so I dont really care what their position is im just responding to the guys who said all children would benefit from being bilingual (specifically spanish/english) because some areas are heavily hispanic. Also the guy spouting off the "anyone who doesn't want to learn spanish is obviously racist" JerkyBunion posted:It's incredibly hard for older immigrants to learn a new language, no matter what language or country they're moving to. But studies show that among children of immigrants knowledge of English is near universal and preference for English is almost as high, even among children educated in immigrant-sponsored bilingual schools (paraphrasing). I agree the older you are the harder it is to pick up a new language. Again im not against quality of life improvements for immigrants like multilingual signs or whatever. Im just saying its not something our schools should be requiring. Or at least not at the pathetic 2-3 years and thats it way its going about it now. IRQ posted:

Zogo posted:I've heard that some other countries will start kids on two languages early. I forget which ones however. It seemed like the most sensible thing to do. Thats a good way to do it. Go all in at an early age. I still don't think it should be a requirement nation wide though.

richardfun posted:Why not? The younger you are, the easier it is to pick up a language. I might be fluent in English and Dutch (the latter being my native tongue), but I wish my parents had gotten me started early on French and German. Honestly its just not as important here as it is overseas. English is a pretty important global language so other countries can start their kids on it early because they know it'll be beneficial later on. What languages would you offer here? Most schools offer at most 4 different languages but how do you pick which one will be the most useful to you 10-20 years from now? Do you push Spanish in certain areas? What do you do to the kid who wants to learn portuguese because his family speaks it but the school doesn't offer it? What are you supposed to take in bum gently caress midwest cities that are 99.9% English? Just pick something at random. Being bilingual is a luxury here and like I said earlier its almost worthless requiring 2-4 years since you barely get past basic grammar in that time. The money could be better spent on other areas.

JerkyBunion posted:That attitude, that it's "just not important" around here, is the reason why American education is lagging. Do you really think there won't be a need in the future for Americans to know Spanish? Chinese in its various forms? How about Arabic, Farsi? Its not as important as it is elsewhere. Theres so many options available that you'd have to predict well in advance which would be most useful to offer kids. Most schools can barely fund 2-3 languages. So do you selectively offer certain ones in certain areas because of population or what? Does it completely change every few years depending on global politics? Do you boot German off the list and replace it with Arabic because of the sudden need for translators because of the two wars we're in? Like I asked earlier some kids may just choose a language because of family/ancestral reasons. If that isn't worthy enough to be offered do the schools eat the bill for a separate tutor? Where do you draw the line on this.
