Times are a little different. Your chances of being successful in


this country are dramatically lower if you don't speak English. Not my biggest issue, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I guess part of it is I simply can't understand the lack of initiative/desire to try to learn the primary language of the country your immigrating to. If I was going to try to immigrate to Germany or retire to Portugal, I'd certainly make the effort to learn German or Portuguese. Hell, I had a work assignment about 20 years ago that required me to travel and spend a lot of time in Germany with no intention of moving there and I spent a ton of effort learning German (most of which I've forgotten unfortunately)
