I do, when I visit foreign message boards.  Again, you speak before thinking.  I'm seeing a develping trend.....

NUKE, I am talking AMERICAN cultural heritage - as in the heritage belonging to Americans as a nationality. You could argue that that means all, but it'd be as silly as saying it means nothing.

Unless, of course, you're suggesting there isn't an American culture or influence in the world. Then I would both agree and disagree and jump around and be happy :)

Alright then, how about we'll discuss in finnish, since some couple days ago you had problems with my english...?

Oh.. by the way, do you happen to also speak fluently over at the foreign message boards? (in their language of course)
I mean, it must be done as well as you require the foreigners to speak english over here.
Naturally, it'd be a problem for you, if you don't speak the language fluently.

I didn't speak finnish to you because I wasn't speaking on a finnish message board.  I have no desire to learn finnish, since there's only 10 or 11 people in the world that speak it.

And yes, it would be a problem if I didn't speak the language fluently.   That's why I don't do it.

So you don't care to credit the others, whos language you don't "care to learn", for trying to communicate in your language.... but rather fault them for trying?

Putting words in my mouth, are you?  As I said before, I only speak on message boards in a language that I am fluent in.  I will speak to friends in their native tongue, even if I'm not fluent.

I won't, however, use babelfish just to insult someone.  

Aren't you supposed to be looking for some facts?

AMERICAN cultural heritage started about 10,000 years ago when the first people came here, everyone after that just added to it.

why are europeans so jealous of USA that they have to always try to put it down?

BTW , there is no american empire, you euros tried to rule the world and failed (nice "cultural heritage" there europe) , the US does not want to rule the world, but you euros think the USA wants to be like you were.

I have no need to put words in your mouth, which you have said by your own will.

I've seen you more often critisizing others for their english, than crediting them for trying or tried not to use it for your benefit.

What comes to the facts:
You do have a rather validating memory, if you don't remember what you said far less than a day ago.
Or then it's simply a matter of reading comprehension.


John9001,

The AMERICAN cultural heritage around the north america for a big part got ousted by the UNITED STATES OF AMERICAn culture.
Which was for most part considered barbaric by the ancestors of UNITED STATES OF AMERICAn culture.

I have a great memory.  I remember you making several accusations the other day, then not having a shred of evidence to back them up.  Is that what you are referring to?

Martlet,

I'm done, accomplished what I were to do with this.
This time we played by my rules and you played along with the game.
Name of the game was 'the entrapment'.

You should take a lesson from this.

salute!
