This is what multiculturalism is bringing us: expecting American kids to learn Klingon. What's next, replacing the sacramental wine with bloodwine, seeing kids walking down the streets packing batleths, dueling to the death for their "honor"? We must oppose Klingon multiculturalism!

I'm all for it. Klingon parties would probably be FAR more entertaining than human parties. ;)

:D you so totally rock.
Though I welcome diversity and the positive aspects that other cultures and races can bring to the table, our Klingon allies must realise that trying to rewrite and force one's culture down another's throat isn't helping things any. I thought such ideologies ceased with the Khitomer Accords...

You have no idea how much spit I've had to wipe off my screen -- there was a Star Trek: Klingon voice-based game some years ago.... :D
One would think that people would want to learn a useful language. Not to mention that those fictional languages are always having an incomplete vocabulary.

Indeed! I used to have so much fun at school being able to insult people and them not know what the hell I just said.

(Damn arrogant humans! They believe they are the center of the galaxy, no regard for anyone else. Ah well... Where's the chocolate?)
Sorry if I mangled that intolerably - but after all, I am only human.
