Yea, because everyone that speaks a language besides english is a foreigner, right? I am sure people don't like being called foreigners either, so let's be fair.

I don't really care. Regardless of who does or doesn't speak English should be able to enjoy playing games over Live just like anyone else. I can understand that its nothing personal against "foreigners", but if the simple fact that you're merely annoyed; just mute them lol, they play just like anyone else.

Uhh....this topic is stupid and all the people who find other people speaking a diffrent language somewhat annoying needs to grow up and realize theres more then just english people in this world. I watch lots of anime with subtitles and it does not annoy me one bit.

French
Japanese
Korean
Chinese
Russian

I bet some people even find english to be annoying and this is why i think this topic is stupid because saying another language is annoying is kind of being hypocritic because the other people are thinking english is annoying to.

The thing is, XBL doesn't have subtitles. I bet if your anime (whatever that is) didn't have subtitles, you wouldnt watch it.

How can this be serious? Xbox Live is spread out internationally, it is not solely made for people who speak English. I don't mind if they speak a different language, but I do mind if someone makes a game, but says that the language of their game is English, even though they don't speak it.

Don't you think this thread is kind of racist??? Also, I speak three lenguages, and the TC should try to learn another lenguage, try to extend his culture, I think is worst that you can't understand me if I'm speaking in other lenguages, but I still can understand you, because I do speak English, and please, don't call me a foreigner when I'm in my own country, don't be silly man, Xbox live is international, deal with it.

Believe it or not, I've never encountered a single spanish speaker on xbox live. But somehow, I often go in a game with French people. It's kind of hard when they don't speak english and your trying to warn them that someone is going to shoot them in the face.

it doesn't matter to me at all. If someone is speaking a language I don't know, then I just ignore them and don't let it bother me. If I go into a whole room where everyone is speaking a different language, I just leave the room because I would like to be able to communicate with someone on my team just in case. If you don't like it, you don't have to use your headset.

Yes I don't own 360 or an xbox but thats just ignorant dog.  You got a problem with others speaking a language you don't understand.  Then why don't you learn it thats a solution.  If not stop your whining because you sound racist.

I don't like it when people chatter through an entire game
either. It's annoying.  People in your language aren't talking
through the whole game, but sometimes people in other
languages are just squawking on forever & forever. What
I generally do is just take the headset off the controller. On
the 360 box, I usually can't hear any sound from people
when the headset is unplugged.

I think that people playing in other languages might also
be slowing the system down if they're far away. I start wondering
about lag & host mode & it seems wasteful to keep playing
the game with them based on their distance & problems
they're creating for me.

I don't consider this racist at all. Who wants to hear it
if you can't understand?  We're paying customers after
all, so we don't have to accept a condition if we don't
want to, just because someone is trying to play politics
on what you should "tolerate", I would not listen to
that.  In a paying situation, you don't have to tolerate
anything you don't want to.

Why? The concept of multiple languages in times of massive globalization is ludicrous. The point of language is to communicate, and with boundries and distances shortened the only logical future is a single language. I have fought against foreign language in American education for over two decades because in terms of entertainment, technology, business and general information storage English is far and away the most used language.

If you don't want to hear other languages, do as suggested by others and wield the power of mute. I will, however, continue to keep the channel open and remind people that the future is a single language, and that language will be English.

they're not foreigners if they're in their own country. racist. FlawlessSeasons

Its not so much racist as it is closed minded and increadibly self centered.  Only in America (and yes Im American myself) do you actually see people saying this kind of garbage.  I mean what do these foreign people think they are doing...we are the best country in the world and they should mold themselves their our liking. Xbox live is global, and its better that way.  They need to either deal with it or wake up and get a clue.  Im tired of people complaining about this.

I don't hate it. Although it is frustrating when you're playing a game, like say, Call of Duty 3, and many of your teammates aren't speaking english, and you get obliterated.
