Idk. Arabic sounds kind of... harsh (nothing personal against it). Maybe its just the accent of the speakers.

It has a good..I dunno how else to put this but it has a nice “ear feel” to it. Sort of like how some foods aren’t all that good but have a superb texture? I feel the same way about Russian.

I took a year of French in middle school, didn't like it much. But I can count from 1 to 19 in French, and can ask "what's your name", "how you doin","# + # =".

I spent a bit of my time in college learning Dutch.

Was a bit let down when I went to visit Amsterdam and didn't even need to use it.
A nation founded in the early 1800s by Federalist immigrants from the United States. Has since developed an identity of its own and imperial ambitions. Now a neoliberal imperial power that justifies its aggression by putting it the name of tolerance and social justice.

I say no to diversity, it is impossible for me to be happy unless there is little to no diversity where I live. I need everyone looking the same and speaking the same language and knowing the same customs. There is a perfect symmetry to it. Not at all chaotic, like the big urban international cities.

I feel sorry for you. I wouldn't like being somewhere where everyone is just like me. I've learned Spanish from my diverse classmates, and I would never have learned that I like Syrian food without the refugees in my German church. I know one person who lived in Turkey her whole life and there is no language I find more beautiful than hers. I have a friend whose family is from Cambodia. Without that friendship, I wouldn't understand Buddhism and woul never have the same attitude I have now. Where I live is so beautifully diverse, I have heard so many stories and languages and seen so many cultures. I would never trade any of this for the world. Diversity is a good thing in every way.

Big urban international cities are awesome if you've got the stomach for them.

Why is that? I wouldn't want to live where everyone looks the same and there is no variety in culture.

The sort of people that recoil from all foreign contacts and keep an insular existence tend to be written about in Lovecraftian stories.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Most high-salaried jobs are also located there and much of the high cost can essentially be traced back to strict central planning in land allocation which is why some people are advocating market urbanism.

I'm serious when I say that I want to be in the majority and I don't care for immigration or the arrival of new communities. My city is "diverse" enough, if it had say 10% Black people. It is a major disgrace and disappointment if I see where I live becoming what I don't want.
