      No. Get over the fact that English is the common speech of the world. And be grateful you even can learn new languages; not all of us can.

        Many years ago, the common speech was French. The world of diplomacy and international mail was all French.

        As someone who struggled for years learning that vile language, I’m glad we switched to English. It could have been German and its 16 different way to spell an article.

        Fuck off, pinkdrunk. I was just trying to make a point about the meme, even I know bi_tux was being sarcastic. And no, I did have to ask someone wtf he said in German, I don’t understand it so much as know like three words (“Deutch” and a couple others) and recognize the similarities between English and German because I play transport simulators and the logistics sim game communities are pretty much centered around Germany and the UK.

        Also nice post history, I see you’re ready and willing to attack anyone who disagrees with you. Blocked.

          That’s inebriated pachyderms to you. And no, I won’t. Take the retarded anti-America bashing elsewhere; our country is in crisis right now and we don’t need to hear it.

          And that’s all this post is, petty assholes taking advantage of the fact we’re destabilizing to needle us over stupid shit that doesn’t matter, as if we’re the only country on Earth whose members are primarily monolingual. That’s blatantly racist shit.

          Also nice post history, I see you’re ready and willing to attack anyone who disagrees with you. Blocked.

          Oh holy shit, the hypocrisy here is mind-blowing. Do you see what you just did right there? That kind of useless personal attack, toward an abuse survivor who spent an evening arguing with rape apologists trying to twist that to seem petty so you can win something?

          Going through my post history while trying to claim I am being aggressive, as if that were even a bad thing? 🤦 As if what you’re doing isn’t an aggressive attack on someone you disagree with? 🤦🤦🤦

          That’s the kind of useless needling I’m talking about. This is why you need to grow up and find something better to do with your free time.

          Jesus Christ. This guy is picking on rape survivors arguing because he’s angry at being called out on racist shit. 🤦 Next lifetime, I am going to demand to be reborn a squirrel. Or a chameleon. Not a stupid fucking human.
