> Try getting a job in the public administration in Spain without speaking Spanish, in France without speaking French, in Italy without speaking Italian, in the UK without speaking English... see the pattern?
Yes, I see it, and is not the same as you think.
Would be, "Try getting a job in the public administration in Spain without speaking Spanish AND catalan, in France without speaking French AND Patóis, in Italy without speaking Italian AND Lombard, in the UK without speaking English AND Gaelic"... see the pattern? Duplicated effort, same result.
But in Argentina the same guy could use the extra time to learn other things, that maybe could be even useful for their employers.
Again, you mirror the Spanish public opinion very well.
The pattern is clear: you only respect state backed cultures, my culture and language are mere nuisances that waste people's time.
That's one of the main reasons we need to break away from Spain ASAP. Before it can complete the cultural genocide it has repeatedly attempted during the last 3 centuries.
