I disagree. I love Jimmy Carter. He's an amazing man.

well i don't know about irish, but North America certainly had plenty of it's own languages, but it's hard to focus on preserving yur language, when the English (and french, spanish, etc) come over and infect you with all their nasty European diseases that wipe out most of yur population.

Funny how preserving a language/culture gets harder when people are gasping their last breath. Especially when we are talking about a people who's history is mostly oral because they are a migratory culture. Carrying a written library around with you while following the buffalo herds is not exactly possible.

The English should be ashamed of the spread of the English language, not proud of it. European colonialism was disgraceful in every way. Worse than anything Hitler accomplished, imo.

We all would be appalled hearing a German speak with pride about the Nazi's, yet it's not uncommon to hear the English speak with pride about "The Empire" (colonialism).

Um, England had colonies that formed 13 states... last time i checked there are 50 states. so England didn't even form a majority of the states, let alone all of them.

...And you guys say WE exaggerate? lol

England had nothing to do with my state, California, and England had nothing to do with MOST of the US states.

Nothing apart from Friends and that's crap anyway. But the UK gave the world the internet, the English language, the beatles, most sports that are played worldwide, democracy, roads, toilets and many, many other things that have influenced the world.

[bansheewails]

John Cusack, diet coke and Robin Williams.

On the bad side though. The Bush Family, Ronald Reagan, Dr. Pepper, McDonalds, cRap Music, Britney Spears, The Atom Bomb, creationism (as a life style choice), Spandex, Musical Evangalism and FOX news!
