people who don't pay attention during classes, don't learn what's been said to them a thousand times, and people who can't string together a decent sentence, damn it! i've been alive only 17 years! i've used the same damn language as you! learn it!

I don't know if you are talking about people that speak pidgeon, or just don't speak the language of the land. Either way I AGREE!! !! !! ! I hate people that have been in a land for even DECADES, and can't speak the language AT ALL! HECK, I only visited Europe ONCE, and I learned German and Danish and even a little french before I got there! It isn't that hard.
I ALSO hate people that say I should learn THEIR language in the US to communicate. It has been estimated that there are over 400 languages represented in LA alone. I have probably heard over a DOZEN. It's a lot easier for them to learn the 2nd or third most popular language in the world than it is for me to learn a dozen that aren't even in the top 15!
And the idea of pidgeon! They want to be paid as much, respected, etc.... and they speak PIDGEON? PIDGEON basically SCREAMS that you want to be ridiculed and mistreated.
