Esperanto - an effort by a Pole ...

"You" didn't invite them? So, you are not accepting what mistakes your fathers done. It is a progress. But, inviting those labor works is not really a mistake. It was necessary at that time. Anyway, I know, Germans have already progressed more than other Europeans.

Merkel is strong. Perhaps, it is due to her experiences in Socialist Germany. She can be a dominator for Turks there too, needed. Most of Turks there are getting jobless salaries as far as I know. If I were her, I'd cut their such salaries, really. Btw, any corner left in Germany where I can open a donner shop? Nope, I am not planning to go to Germany now. Waiting for Merkel to cancel the visas for ones who are socialists like me.

And yet when they become adults they vote clowns into power!


Only as a saner alternative to learning Klingon (you don't have to wear a plastic mask to speak esperanto).

..a "donner shop"?

:)


Ooooh Klingon rocks!

That would be an alternative... :)

A dog can be born in a stable, but that doesn't make him a horse..(a wonderful Duke of Wellington quote)

as i mentioned, allegedly the second biggest constructed language after esperanto.

It is another Esperanto word. Mix of Turkish and German. (Btw, appreciated your taking the patent of it as a German product. Really.)

You're the racist alway attributing the worst possible motives to anyone and everyone here just because they're of a different ethnicity than you. Doesn't get much more racist than that. You racist.

You're also a sexist cause you immediately assumed "a Pole" was a man.

I think it's great that Ton Van Anh was granted Polish citizenship for several reasons, not least because she faced a very real threat of persecution had she been returned to Vietnam. The fact that she's probably spent more than half her life in Poland is also a factor of course.

To keep this out of the junk pile: The world esperanto congress next year 2012 will be held in Hanoi. Last year was in Cuba (where a bunch of US esperanto users were prevented from going despite earlier hints they would be allowed to).

but if a quarterhorse is raised in a racing stable and can keep up and outrun a thoroughbred in the long haul, isn't it still a racing horse?

Jaaaaaa....but so much cooooler!


Well..it's "made in Germany" actually! :)


For what stable team is it cheering?

Is this when you eat too much kebab and then make a noise like donner?


Admit it, it's the militaristic culture and plans for universal domination which attract you to it ;-)

Whoever it wants to, it has no tribe.

Enjoy that, and lets get back on topic.

Very true of animals. Less so of people. Granted many have a hard time telling the difference.

When it comes to identity I tend to rank a person's cultural and linguistic affinity over their genetic make up. Kowal McKowalski who was born to first generation Polish immigrants but spent his whole life in the US and only speaks American is less Polish to me than Nguyen Nguyen McNguyen who's lived in Poland for over 15 years and speaks more Polish than Vietnamese.

Who can have a cultural and linguistic affinity to Esperanto???

That's the crux of this discussion...and very much on topic btw.

Different people for different reasons.

It's an open question as to how much Esperanto speakers have a common culture. It's also an open question as to how much a culture is needed for what is intended as a bridge language.

German and French speakers using Esperanto to communicate is no more ridiculous than them using English (considering how hostile British culture was to both the French and German speaking parts of Europe).

How weak of character do you have to be to get your cultural affinity through the language that you speak as opposed to the connections with people that you make? Comeon now seriously? Fo reals? We're talking about later through the years. Could I fit in Germany? Of course. In the US, yea, no problem. Hell, in Iran, yea, it's been proven. Can I understand the culture, yup....so what's the big question about language?

Those who aims to make integration. But, Esperanto is an old trial, its time past. Europe can generate a language like Europanto?

we weren't hostile... we just wanted to educate them... and it was them who tried to introduce laws against using English words.

Integration into Esperantia????
How are people integrating who prefer Esperanto to the country's native language????


Well..are you calling most people "weak of character"???

I started to learn japanese because I have a soft spot for them...I would never call myself Japanese though!

You have a problem that you don't know where you want to belong to...but most people don't have that problem.

The same way as those who go to study at English language schools and colleges in their own country, perhaps?

So, they are more educated than Brits now, your students passed you already years ago.

Ps: are you Brits still here? Don't you have works to be done at the Birmingham? Or, Buckingham or whereever the palace is.


Esperantia, Europentia or whatever. Integration of Europe couldn't work well, perhaps, due to missing a unique language where whole Europe can speak?

Indeed, my job now is to teach them English so they can go abroad and make more money than me...


yeah, and we'll get the Polish workers to do it.

What?

I thought more about the Soros family...who did go to great lengths to detach their newborn from it's natural environment...building a parallel world..


Take English...or German!

I think at a certain level, the intellectual and financial elite are indeed another, parallel world.

A friend of mine once interviewed Austrian women who had married British soldiers and moved abroad. She asked a very rich lady if she'd ever missed home. She replied, "My dear, at a certain level of society, there is no difference!"

Just think, at one time the monarchies all spoke French (even in Russia).


Just for you, BB

Frenches can huff then. Crow can shoot for not chosing Slav.
I'll take Polish. They are not forcing me to learn other than Kochamcie.

There had always been Lingua Francas...natural grown, natural gone...why does it have to be something artificial?

but can it bark?

I once showed it to a german girl and an Irish girl. The irish girl kept complaining that they'd messed up the spelling and she couldn't read it... the german girl was in hysterics.

The Rockefellers are not Jewish.

Joke or whatever. Result is

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!

a new language like Esperanto which was not different than that.


Replace Rothschilds then in my sentence above (however, I keep reservation for Rockefellers being Jews too. Why should them a rich family have moved to USA? I guess, they were a fake conversion to Christianity. George S. too did a similar thing to escape.)

Not sure if you understand, it is meant to sound like English spoken with a german accent.
