I think you will find plenty of French and Spanish speakers in the US without crossing borders!
Originally posted by Suzianne Are the Bangladeshis "a bunch of commandment breaking subordinates", then, in your opinion? It appears that's what you're saying, since that's exactly what we were talking about when you felt you had to barge in and insult me.
I have read the thread several times and still don't know what you were trying to say in your first post. Are you or are you not saying that God is punishing the yanks though storms? If you are then please explain why he is punishing the Bangladeshi's even more. If not, then please explain what you were saying.
(and no, I didn't insult you in any way, I am merely asking for clarification, so you can't use your usual 'I am insulted so I don't have to explain' excuse).

As well as whole areas in most major cities that speak a Chinese language. You could probably find quite a lot of other languages if you look hard enough, but I bet most americans avoid such areas.

The point I was answering was this, from the OP:
"Is this a modern take on the old biblical message? But instead of the Hebrews being a bunch of commandment breaking subordinates, it's now the Americans?"
My reply focused on the idea that the Americans have been heading down the road towards being "a bunch of commandment breaking subordinates" since Kennedy was killed. Many have theorized that America took its "turn to the dark side" in the sixties and that the signpost for the diversion was the assassination of JFK.
So yes, I think it was a bit premature, as well as quite assumptive, to call me a "pampered fool". Nothing in my point has anything at all to do with the "Bangladeshis".

So to be clear, you think America took a "turn to the dark side" in the sixties, but you have not expressed any opinion regarding the actual question of the thread title - is God punishing the yanks though storms?

Most of the people in Bangladesh suffer great hardship partly brought on by monsoons.
Suzi considers the Yanks are being punished by God but her definition of hardship
would be waiting in line with her belly cart for a Big Mac, fries and chocolate shake with a side order of insulin.
She has no concept of life outside her bubble.

the yanks and the aussies- hundreds of homes destroyed down south via bushfires while an ongoing low pressure system causes mass flooding in the north - right at xmas time .

I have to say though that visiting a country where the primary language is not English is quite an experience. I grew up in Zambia where most people know English but frequently speak the local languages. However, visiting Dar-es-Salaam was very different as the primary language is Swahili.

You'd hope for someone to be punished by God? I'd dare say this country is heading to a
place that God will there is no doubt in my mind. The more godless a country's leadership
is the worst it will be for that country.
