    Angry, or calm?
    Just black and white words on a screen.
    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes

    Well there is another way, just to take the children and educate them in how you want them to think and behave. Just as the Chinese are doing in Mongolia.

    Languages English, some Spanish, German and even a little Danish. I would like to be able to speak Chinese so I would talk to my new neighbors after they invade us.......didn't a Chinese general say they would eventually have too many people and would have to find room for them and he saw the Midwest as that room.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    I 'liked' that cause I heard something like that too, but not cause I actually 'like' it..... given the reproduction rates in certain countries, and the 'Western Aid' helping keep them alive... we're cutting our own throats for extinction by over population...

    My Mother is German. I lived there for 8 years. I understand it but lost my ability to pronounce it properly.

    I speak various forms of American English. If I ever decide to go to a foreign country I'll learn their basic's . But why in the hell would I want to leave here.
    Uncle Sam sent me on an all inclusive paid vacation to S.E. Asia and talking didn't work . But killing was a language understood.

    So I'll just stay here until I hear those voices.

    I speak English, (American version) English, (the Queen's English, having grown up there) English, (Mayberry, think Andy Griffith, having also grown up in North Carolina), and English, (finished growing up in Tennessee). The later 3 are similar, but have different variations. I am also fluent in Cat!
