The future is Latin! Again!

God forbid! To put a cross on myself, fast and several times. Racowie are against it.

I dream of Poland's federation of free Slavs, independent from Rome, Constantinople and London.

The idea that a language not being really used for ages, with no real native speaker base and harder than the current lingua franca can replace Rnglish is simply hilarious

You're just a bitter old unrepentant communist relic who prefers society to be dumbed down to your level so you don't have to feel bad about your own personal limitations.

In your warped world no one should get ahead because you know it means you will be left behind.

It's obvious your opposition to Latin is because you see it as elitist and you don't come from a family which valued a real education.

Studies have been done on the likes of you so your marginal existence and self-loathing is understandable.

Let's look at Sweden which is often admired by feminist leftwing radicals like yourself for its woke politics.

Your Ancestors, Your Fate

"Another elite group are Swedes whose ancestors - a rising educated class of clerics, scholars, merchants - Latinized their surnames in the 17th and 18th centuries (like the father of the botanist Carolus Linnaeus).

Given the egalitarian nature of Swedish society, one would expect that people with these elite surnames should be no better off than other Swedes. That isn't so.

In a sample of six Stockholm-area municipalities in 2008, rich and poor...Those with Latinized names had average taxable incomes 27 percent higher than those named Andersson."

And you are just a bitter old unrepentant Nazi relic...... I can't understand how a supposed supporter of Poles could share your opinions....

Yawn.

A British leftist can't follow along with a conversation and so autistically starts yelling "Nazi! Nazi! Nazi!".

Yep, we can see you Milo.

But you've been told this before; this thread and topic are about Europe and Poland.

Being British you have nothing to contribute here.

I had Latin and I like it but that doesn't mean I don't see the stupidity of your claims.
You do realise that in Polish Latin is described as a 'dead language' and you can't choose it for your foreign language on matura?

Poloniusz

All the more reason then for you to support it. But oh, that's right, you're a leftist hypocrite. It was good enough for you but no one else should have the opportunity.

a 'dead language'

Those who respect history and value culture (not you obviously) never want to see a language die out. No wonder there is so much renewed interest.

All the more reason then for Latin to be revived and actively used in public life.

Lenka

Do you even try understanding what people are writing before you spin it to match your rhetoric?

Where did I say a single word against learning Latin? I think it can be very beneficial.

That is not the same tough as the silly notion that Latin can replace English.

English has become global language and will stay that way. Much better then Chinese or Latin.

American has become a global language and will stay that way. Brits don't know how to spell even simple words like color or program.

And they still drive on the wrong side of the street.

And hear him yip yip yip like a puppy dog.
Finally the Brits have stepped up to the plate to do their share against Russia's and China's threat.
My hat goes off to them today.
Headlines read:
UK calls Russia top threat, issues warning on China, promises to build more nuclear warheads.

English has become global language and will stay that way.

For at least the next few centuries, English will be the dominant language not least because of the rise of computing/electronic media and the decline of other linguae francae. It will continue to develop though and we'll probably be getting used to using colourful expressions borrowed from other major languages.

I will enter in history. I here promoted Slavicized English or to say Slavicized American for years already. I am like Tesla. In front of the time I live in.

Slavicized American

You got it reverse. American has only two words from Polish: pierogi and kielbasa.

jon357

Slavicized English

Not a bad thing. English has quite a few words from Slavonic languages, however from Polish, there's only one lexical set: "spruce" to "spruce up" etc.

The most ancient words in English are Slavic.

She is. "Migrants are good for the economy" and they make Germans feel less bad about their dads. Plus, how can we stop them? We can stop global warming and the earth from spinning, but migrants? No way!

She is also an ex communist.
She has been brainwashed.

She has every right to be. Tens of thousands of Germans are still alive thanks to her leadership.

You Germans are programmed to be loyal to your leaders. What is your difference to the Chinese, for example? I don`t see them. Whatever is told to Germans they`ll do or accept. Not to say that `famous` German efficiency was greatly exaggerated.

A few lifes compared to tens of thousands are a small price indeed.

Crow

I know what Tacitus want to say. And that is nice. Problem is that Germans always walk on the edge of extremity. They are manipulated to do highest crimes and then they are manipulated to show best examples in solidarity. Tomorrow would be crimes again until one day mad circle end in dissolution of Germany. See, manipulation leads to manipulation. And that`s good lesson to all of us.

Novichok

No. She has done a superb job for the migrants.
BTW, if one million migrants were an asset, why stop there? How about 10 million? My calculator just told me that this would be ten times better for Germany.

This is just one more example of why the leftist and the brainless demagogues do not want to answer the question of how many is too many. They know that even the first one is bad - gays or migrants.

A few lives compared to tens of thousands are a small price indeed.

As long as it is not yours. Plus, it wasn't a life or tens of thousands of lives. We are not talking about gassing migrants in Auschwitz. We are talking about relocating from their sh*it holes to Europe.

You Germans are programmed to be loyal to your leaders.

And you can see it right here. You can never make them say anything critical. At the very best, you get some weasely explanation. Never: the b*tch was dead wrong.

Everything is Jawohl with three exclamation marks.

Tacitus

If you want to blame Merkel for every death caused by her refugee policy, you'll also have to give her credit for every life saved by her Covid response. Maybe someone like Johnson or Trump would have closed the borders, but leaving the potential for political instability in Southern Europe and the Balkans aside, their bunglings would have seen the death toll due to Corona in Germany at least double in size.
