There is a cost associated with misunderstanding. If everybody spoke the same language wouldn't the world be a better place? I think everybody agrees on that.

I think everybody agrees on that. But nobody can agree which language should be the chosen one.
- kwhitefoot 5y ago> I think everybody agrees on that. I think everybody agrees that you don't mean everybody but most, many, or possibly only the people I associate with. It takes only one counter example to disprove a statement of universality and I'm fairly sure I am not the only one to disagree with you.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoSo can you provide that counter example? It is hard if not impossible to agree with you if you don't say what it is you disagree with exactly. I agree that surely there can be many people who disagree with my statements. But that is trivial and not very interesting. The question is why or how they disagree with it.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoThis is very much American idea of "diversity". Drink Starbucks, watch corpo rainbows all day long and sing hallelujah. But remember you have to speak our language and have our way of life, that's the diversity after all!
- galaxyLogic 5y agoIn many cases you have to speak "our language" if you want "us" to understand you. But that shouldn't mean that you "have to have our way of life", whatever that means. Diversity is good I believe, as long as we can understand each other.
