Hate to see you go away from the list because of a language barrier.
However I want to applaud your recognizing that without knowing English
you were not gaining much. What I really applaud is your good common
sense to not insist that this AMC-LIST would modify its' self to
Multi-language format.
 In my State in my Country, all one has to do is ''import'' themselves
into the area and instantly everyone needs to learn their language. It
seems to me that if you want to live in a country you are not from, then
YOU should be the person learing how to get along. Not only are we
forced [when possible]] to learn some one elses language, our Tax
Dollars are wasted to put up street signs in Both Languages in ''their
neighborhood.''  Maybe I am just plain dumb, but it seems to me if we
are going to have multiple street sign languages, we need them
EVERYWHERE, not just were ''they'' live. Does this mean that these folks
are not allowed to travel anywhere but their own neighborhoods that bear
sinage in their own language?? I think not. No, it is just ''local''
political crap to rob and missue more or our money they call Taxes.

How many other nations Kiss Our Butt like that if/when we
''immigrate''????Sorry for the rant. But Thanks again for the guy with
the good sense not to try to make the list ''multi-lingual''

I do not mean any prejudice against any one. But anyone with good sense
knows exactly what I am talking about. If you want to Live here, LEARN
here. That is 100% exactly what I would HAVE to do if I decided to live
in your country. Quit getting polititians to waste our money on your own
selfish refusals to really join the society YOU decided to live in.

The thing is, with multi language sinage, you are in all
reality''segregating'' these folks into their own neighborhoods. This is
exactly how Slums are born, SEGREGATION.

Again, Sorry for the Rant, but geeze... lets be honest. Hope I did not
offend any AMCers out there.

Regards,
