I don't know about imagination, but it allows for voluntary exchange. Good enough for me.

Anyway, just got back from seeing Man Of Steel. Really wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. The plot made little sense and was all over the place. The fights were great, though.

Because it's probably much easier for someone Chinese to immigrate to Canada because of immigration laws.
I heard as of like 2011 or 2012 Caucasian stopped being the majority in Toronto and the surrounding area. There are more Indian and Chinese now I believe haha :3

I didnt watch it but you make it sound like Livewire is just a fanboy that refuses to see anything bad in anything batman related like xbox fans do with the XboxOne.

Question, RL, hope you don't mind me prying, but if English wasn't your first language, what was?

My first language is Irish, laced with a little English but virtually none of it and definitely not enough to live in England on. I was actually born in Ireland in an area which, while it no longer had official status as one of the areas which spoke primarily Irish, the Gaeltachtaí, still had a good number of people speaking one of the two languages from an early age and learning the other as a second language later. Our family spoke primarily Irish, especially since originally my mum was from another area which spoke basically exclusively Irish, and as I moved to England at a fairly young age I ended up over here speaking... more or less not a single word of the language! Which was all very fun; you can imagine how my first day of school and whatnot went down when no-one spoke a word of my language and I didn't speak a word of theirs. d:

Born in Mexico, but when my parents emigrated to the states when I was just 9 months old, they both taught me English so they could prepare me for school. It was probably for the better. My mom couldn't speak English at the time, so it was extremely difficult for me to communicate with her since I knew English and only English at the time. Until I was 10 or so years old (probably younger), I was finally taught Spanish. The advantage was that we lived in a Spanish-speaking city, and listening to Spanish-speaking music helped a ton.

How things like this goes down in America.

Immigrant aka Razor Leaf: "jeg er ien ärelender" (or however that goes)
Student A: "I-O DO-O NOT-O SPEAK-O SPANISH-O"
Student B: "Look at that dumbass!"
Parent A: "oh no! It's an immigrant! It's probably illegal!" <- notice my use of "it" rather than "he/she"
Parent B: "We need to deport it immediately before it gets to the jobs!"
Me: "Weren't you guys not already using-"
Parents A&B: "OH CRAP ANOTHER IMMIGRANT"
--RL and I get deported immediately--

Aw man, first day of school without being able to communicate? I'd probably have wet my pants before I made the teacher realize I wanted to use the bathroom. :I

Thinking back, I actually don't remember if I knew English in my first year of school. I'm petty sure I did, considering I'd hang around with a couple of the other kids, but I also knew Bengali off the top of my head. I have to ask my parents what happened.


And while I didn't see it, my friends said that MoS was indeed overhyped. I feel like they said that only cause we went ahead and saw the Purge instead. :O

In a way, I agree with the whole.. it's easier to learn if you're living there. You're exposed to it every day, so if you WANT to learn, you're thrown in the deep end right there and you can push yourself to use it to the fullest extent.
