Maybe you don't give a shit. But to me, it made me realize that other countries have a more world view. Where we are more self-absorbed.

English isn't our language, it's England's. English is the most common spoken and used language in the Western world, that's why so many people know it. I'd wager if Americans had invented our own language, not near as many people would be able to communicate with it.
It's not a matter of not giving a shit. Maybe learning Spanish makes sense.
