Then again, a single official European language is a stupid idea in itself.

Why is that?

 

Have you ever experienced the vast variety of culture and language in Europe? Sorry, but I'm afraid that many Americans can't really put themselves in the position of Europeans concerning the discussion around a common EU language. Just visit this page and you'll find out what I mean.

I hear Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and all sorts of languages at my mall and univeristy. The entire time I think to myself. I don't care about their culture, they should just learn some decent english

Your situation is completely different. These people talk a language other than English in the US (a foreign one). German, English, French, Spanish and Italian (just to name a few) are all native in Europe.

BTW, an "Indian" language doesn't even exist.
