the L O N G thread

Yeah right. And ofcourse, you know fluently French, Spanish, Chinese AND Swahili. Come on. Even if you are, you've lost all credibility.

Ok Simon:

I did French at school for only one year (14 years ago)
I have a friend who learnt in Cuba and knows some Spanish
I cannot even tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese
My grandma speaks Swahili and I only know a few words
I followed Senegal a lot at the World Cup (though I don't remember mentioning it )

I don't care any more what rock you came crawling under from and where this rock is located.

The third rock from the sun Simon :rolleyes:
I enjoyed your arguments though :D :D :D

Apparently I didn't scroll up and read it incorrectly from this post. I read it "as Senegalais" while this is the user name of the thread starter, I didn't scroll up. My mistake.

And your Cuban friend isn't by accident called Fidel C. isn't he? :D The coolest old dictator on earth.

We dutchies are pretty direct usually and when anyone ****s up we usually aren't subtile about it. Other people might think we're offensive but usually we're just pointing out something, see it as possitive feedback. That you're (<- no one in particular) a ****head doesn't mean I like you less :-)

---

Whoa! Really direct? Assume you're a hypocrite.(I know you're probably not, but just an example! :))
If u're a Dutch and I tell that to your face, will u be offended?
If not, then I think that's real gallant and cool! Whoa!

And yeah, conclusion :

Platinum is from Africa. Case closed.

By the way, Platinum pal.......are u a black? I never had the chance to talk with a person of true native African origin, and it's real cool if u're. But if you're not, you're still out li'l Platty cutie baby who's totally soft and cute to hug, k? :):):D:o

No ofcourse not :-). It's like, we just say what we think, we don't wait until we're totally pissed off or so annoyed we could shoot you, in contradiction to some other cultures where they don't want to offend anyone and talk between the lines. Most people don't mind once they know how we work... Atleast... a lot of people used to be like that, times are changing tho'.

I said they grab any chance to be able to forbid them, so they try but do not necessarily and luckily succeed

---

They don't succeed because they can't, because we have a constitution that prohibits anything like that, and therefore they don't. They don't grab any chance because there is no chance. I have to live in this country every day, I know what goes on here.

you can't conclude [that Plat isn't French]

Alors, ecrivez quelque chose en francais et vous pouvez voir s'il comprends et connait le francais. C'est tres simple. (Pardonnez moi, ce n'est pas ma langue naturel)

Africa !

I've never heard of a country called Africa... where in Africa? South Africa? If so, do you know Joe?

I'll settle this argument once and for all:


Otto a éclaté dans la piscine. Les dauphins tendent Ã* être intelligents. Infestez la pauvre veuve avant le 14 juillet!!!!

Oh that made a lot of sense...

What the h&#101ll was Otto doing?

The truth about Otto:

Ist die eine Ente auf Ihrem Kopf, oder sind Sie gerade froh, in Las Vegas zu sein? Nein, mag ich Kaffee in der Dusche trinken, aber mein Radio ist defekt.


Tom

you are quite a polyglot

You're lucky Sonu is not around. Who the h*ll drinks coffee under the shower? That will be pretty weak coffee if you ask me. And why does his broken radio prevent him from doing that? And what is the duck flying around his head (could be an expression though) ? Did you just put some German words in a more or less random but syntacticly correct order? Not to mention your senseless French.

Let me see if I understand correctly.
From some of the discussion in the General Discussion area , slamming Americans, French and random talk of international hatred isn't offensive. Talk of mass slaughter with nuclear weapons, conventional bomming and snipers isn't offensive.
However, random babble is offensive? Hmmm.

I didn't mean Sonu would KILL you, you know. What I meant was that he would be in a good position to put you on the test about that German phrase or excerpt.
