I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I am saying that anything in a foreign language should be required to be also translated to English as well. Just like how all of our food packing has to be in English AND French, even though 99% here don't have french is their mother tongue. It's because they are the official languages. You are free to have it in additional languages, but those 2 are required. Every restaurant here MUST have their menu in English, as well as whatever other languages they choose. There is already a lot of regulation when it comes to that, which might differ from some other countries.

Again, their target audience would understand, because it's in the same language, it's just I believe all the residents of that country have the right to know what is being said by companies on advertisements, etc. I would not like if advertisements for example said: "Death the the white man" or something, spreading hate or other information, especially if I was unaware of it, that the normal person being exposed to them could not extract.

So I think there's an unfairness there, and when it comes to business or registered club, it should be required that all their media is expressed in at least one official language, on top of whatever languages they wish to write it in.

What's your position on religious facebook posts?

I see religious stuff on my feed... a lot... I'm not religious but I don't write someone off because they are. However I feel pretty self conscious about spreading agnostic/atheist messages even when they are (imo) less controversial.

I'll provide a comparison.

Christian:

+ Show Spoiler +

Agnostic/Athiest:

Should I feel free to spread that type of stuff without being considered rude (or at least any more rude than those spreading religious messages)?

I think it has actually gotten to the point where I prefer the religious people because most "atheist posts" are either 1. Hey the WBC is really evil how can you even be religious" or "Have you read the God delusion(insert any other generic religious critique) it's so great".

I can't even remember the last time a religious person has tried to convince me of their religion when on the other hand most self proclaimed atheists/agnostics can't wait to get into a religious discussion with anybody around them.

Although around my university, I have so many posters about many different religions, people trying to talk to you about it, give free water bottles + card about religion. It frustrates me... I dunno, I don't think religion should be that out in the open in public, and maybe as a scientist at heart, being surrounded by everything that goes against my beliefs is a bit irritating. I have no need to try and convert others to hard agnostic or atheist, but I'd appreciate the other side did the same, as then it's kind of an unfair battle.

How do you handle the inevitable students in class who always do shit like challenge the teacher's claims or ask excessive irrelevant questions or answer other student's questions in place of the professor, loudly?
