Welcome to Gaia! ::

No - you don't give me that. German isn't taught in many more than about two colleges total in the entire state of California, and I wouldn't hold that sort of discrimination to just this state - especially in a country that once outlawed the speaking of German in many areas.

On an overall scale, German is one of the more useful languages to learn. Because Germany is one of the most industrial countries in the world - Iceland is not. Iceland is little more than a great place to take a vacation, seeing as how it was voted happiest country on Earth or something of the nature.

Honestly, I don't know where you get your prejudices, because I've never heard of "hordes of unmotivated teenagers" taking German just because they have to - that's what French is for, in this area. And I definitely haven't seen as many French-learners learning it for that reason as I've seen these giddy little 12-year old Naruto and Pokemon fanatics who jump at the chance to learn the language of the country from whence those horrible animes come.

Man, calm down.

First of all, I suppose it depends on the area, because around where I live and have lived in the past, German is taught at every high school and college. So, I can't assume its everywhere, but from my experience, it is. I'm not familiar with the California area, so I wouldn't know.

Now, who said I was prejudiced? Did I call everyone who speaks German some kind of nazi shitfaces who should go ******** themselves? No. I said that I would like to learn German, and that I really have no problem with it. I do have a problem with over serious people who like to come outta nowhere and be a little b***h for no good reason.

I don't really care if its useful, or about the condition of the country where the language is spoken. My language learning choices are basically on impulse, and I just haven't really been drawn to German like I have to Japanese or Chinese or Hindi, ext... Also, I only have a limited amount of time and brain cells, and at this point, I'm not going to use those brain cells to learn German. Not to say that I never will, I don't know. Maybe I will. Language learning is all for fun for me, and I have no problem with German or any language. So, quit being a d**k, okay?

So man, stop using your big serious words and calling me prejudiced and discriminating, because I'm not. You read waaaay to much into what I say and take it all as offense. Man, its not that serious! If anything would prejudice me against German, it would be that you, a person who knows German, is begin such a goddamn d**k about it. So watch it, or I'm gonna get some prejudices. Notice that you have some pretty glaring prejudices against Japan and Japanese, so you shouldn't be talking about being prejudiced, my good sir. I could be a humongous b***h about that at you, but I'm trying not to.

I'll refrain from sailor talk and say, can we just calm down and drop it? This is really not as serious as you make it out to be. I'm just out for some language related fun, not to insult anyone or language.

Not even gonna touch eragon....

But Ukrainian transvestite tinmen? ....Why?

.......I'm scared.

I've heard the book was okay, though I never intend to read it. I was forced to be in the same room as the movie once, and all I can say is *retch*.

Sorry.

The main travesty is the pathetic excuse for a conlang that guy made up. That truly deserves a *retch*.
