Ooppppps another thread closed ==> https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=144&AID=74958#576590 That's terrible how americans (about half of them) are definitly stupid and proud of their navel ... when they take awareness about it, the world should be perhaps be more in peace ... I read an article which mentionned that above half of americans students don't know where Berlin is or where France or (yes i think they know now, where Irak is ...) Do you make at least any effort to try to understand and learn any other language than yours ? [off course this omment have nothing to do with Stardock]

English is my second language. My primary language is ASL.


And I'm an American too. Wow isn't that a paradox??

How does that linked post relate to Americans not learning other languages?

Patience is a virtue to a point, then it is just a waste of time. neophil178 has offered to leave many times in many posts. Admin, please assist him; invoke the exile option.

In French (via Google):
La patience est une vertu à un point, alors il est juste une perte de temps. neophil178 a offert de laisser beaucoup de fois dans des beaucoup de poteaux. Les Admin, svp l'aident; appelez l'option exile.


Google seems to be a very bad translator, at a point, the traduction he did is nearlly understanding ...


Is this better?

La patience est une vertu à un point, alors c'est juste une perte de temps. neophil178 a offert de partir beaucoup fois dans beaucoup de postes. L'administration, s'il vous plaît l'aider ; invoquer l'option d'exil.

Well, so far all this 'negative pub' you have given Stardock and this site it has done nothing to change what I feel about these products that I so love.

I did, however go and look at your library.  Why do you think I would want to download any of it, knowing it was crafted with such hostility and hatred for me?  Thanks for letting me know.

There is so much intolerance and hatred in this world, why choose to perpetuate it?  To carry it around and revel in it?  If the world is going to change into a better place it is only going to happen one person at a time, not from transferring petty differences about.

Neophil78: Please include your name in the title of your posting, so I won't bother opening it to read. You have more than made your opinion known, anything more you have to say is basicly redundent.

I was born in England,live in America.I've visited Italy,Spain,Germany,Switzland,Canada and Kenya.By far,France was the worst.They seemed to have a hatred for anyone who is not french.I speak one language(English),and got by with that everywhere,except France.I'm sure the English and Americans remember how much help the French were in Iraq.Remember,the only good road in France,is the one out.Neophil78,thanks for these threads you keep posting,at least i get a good laugh out of it.And please explain why we need to learn another language,when English seems to be working fine for most of us.

I'm American, and a bit irritated at someone who would run down my country. Perfect? No. Free? Yes. It's a place where you are free to "blah blah blah" about absolutely nothing and complain about images of light, while there are issues a bit more important going on it the world. Some of my relatives have died for this country. Think before you type. Spend a bit of time in meditation or prayer and try to realize that what you are doing is the equivalent of a temper tantrum thrown by a spoiled brat. I know you're smarter than this. Is your issue with Americans, or with not getting your way?

American.

Learned some Spanish in school, some Japanese in the martial arts.

Love people in general, and have no prejudices.

You sound like you need some anger management help, or at least some education in how to get your point across without offending others.

On a humanitarian level, I hope you find some peace. On a fellow WC subscriber level - you should probably back off, man.

Geez, this is still going on? Neo, the only time a person should have to learn another language, is if they are planning to live there. I think you have given us all the reasons in the world why we would not want to live in France. If you don't like Americans, then don't come around any of us. There are enough serious problems in the world. You may not like us, but we are a free people. We can choose whether or not we speak another language. More important than intelligence, is compassion and friendship. I never chose a friend by how many languages they spoke or how smart they are. Only by their ability to care about their fellow human beings. Get a life man. You are only hurting yourself with your ranting. The rest of us either feel sorry for you or a laughing.

Yes, I'd be more offended if I was French. Not really offended, but embarrassed.

I like French people. I love the country. I spent some quality time with some very wonderful people in the north of France and I crave to go back. Paris is great. LeMans is great. I just don't like animosity and small mindedness.
