Re: Talk English or be kicked!

Ive seen some server saying "french only or be kicked", that's worst then "english only" since english is the international lang all over the world.

Actually, money, math, and music are the International Languages everyone understands.

Re: Talk English or be kicked!

right off the bat...

Ok, you are showing the same attitude they are showing because you are expecting them to use your native language. That is like saying, if a dutch player comes and plays on a US server he should speak in English. If you are going to play on a EU server, expect to have to use French, Dutch, or German.

Better yet, do what I do when I go to other servers....don't say anything at all.

Americans are so ignorant.

Where did he ever say he expected them to speak his language?

I agree w/ the OP. People should be tolerant.

I really don't type much.

I guess, to play the devil's advocate I guess I would say spies on opposite teams could collaborate in their secret language.

Why is it, that english is the one blame, when i have been kick from foreing servers for not speaking their languague.

I am so sick and tired of everything getting blame on us(UNITED STATES) i just wish we pull everyone from everywhere, close our doors and just dont help anyone, i wonder what would happen...

Uhhhh, ya the united states invented English. It's the only country it's spoke in. He had to be talking about the US.

Over react much? All sarcasm aside, English a dominant global language. If the OP is going to run into language xenophobia. Odds are it would be from an English speaking server.

A little more logic and a little less paranoia will help you sleep nights.

P.S. As far as closing the borders I believe (some program I watched) that our population would become topheavy with seniors and our workforce would diminish to practically nothing as industrialized nations birth rates drop to an unacceptable level in terms of replenishing the workforce.

Re: Talk English or be kicked!

"I have a degree in English", would probably be a better grammatical expression Mr. English Major.

A pedant surfaces. Do you expect me to refrain from being colloquial in an informal post on an internet forum? **** that ****!

Yes, I understand this point, I was just trying to encourage a little tolerance.

Re: Talk English or be kicked!

:yay:

I would like to say that having a healthy opinion of one's self and one's country of origin is a good thing. On the other hand, it is far too easy to become Jingoistic and come off as arrogant and rude.

I have had the good forutne to travel some and I will tell you that each region is proud of what they have. If you are a visitor, it behooves you to smile and say thank you instead of curling your lip and stating how much better things are back home. If you aren;t careful, you will find yourself "home" much quicker than you had planned.

To the OP. GET OVER IT. Kicking for NOT speaking a particular language is NOT exclusive to English. If you only speak German and you join a server located in Dallas Texas, what the hell do you think everyone else will be speaking? If you are so ignorant or arrogant to assume that wherever you go, everyone you encounter will be able to communicate with you in YOUR native toungue, well, then you just need to be beat until you don't know your own name. The whole prmise of your original post is absurd on a level that is even above most of the crap seen on this forum during the whole 1.4 patch waiting period. Please, stay home and play local servers and quit looking under rocks for Dragons to slay. Don Quixote indeed.

Re: Talk English or be kicked!

South Africa speaks Afrikaans not English they just all happen to take English in school.

Sorry man you're wrong there, I grew up in Johannesburg, SA and happen to know that English is the main of 11 official languages (second only to India) as it is often used as a shared communication between different ethnic groups. I certainly didnt grow up speaking Afrikaans, and neither did any of my friends, that was a language we learnt in school.

Ya, I would think it would be a lot worse in the UK because you are really close to 3 different languages.

I am AWARE kicking for language difference is not only an English thing, did I say it was? I was merely speaking from my perspective ie. an English speaker who has seen a fair few of perfectly good foreign speaking players and squad members get kicked from a server for the 'crime' of speaking their own language. And it winds me up. Of course you read so much into it, your 'criticism' ends up revealing far more about you than it does about me.

First off I find it quite amusing you suggest I may be the one who is guilty of arrogance, when your entire post is so ego-drenched, i wouldnt be surprised if you ejaculated all over the keyboard over your own genius after writing it. As i read through it, I wonder if you even understood anything I wrote, but of course thats irrelavant as nothing is going to stop you embarking on your righteous crusade against my 'Don Quixote' attitude (making some quite amazing assumptions of your own along the way I might add).

Quite brilliantly you suspect me of expecting people around the world to speak my language. This is a real beauty, and i have to say I didnt see it coming: accusing me- someone who is trying to encourage tolerance and acceptance of other languages on servers- of being some kind of xenophobe who wants everyone to speak English. How did you work that one out Major? Hats off to you for making possibly the most idiotic misinterpretation of a post I have ever seen. I think I should've written a simpler version just for you, I really do.

After crassly insulting my original post, you finish off by advising me to 'stay at home and play local servers'. Ah, so now the true xenophobe begins to show his face. What is wrong with me playing servers in other countries? If I have a ping below 50 and I keep myself to myself what harm am I doing? Is it a crime to mix with other people from different countries/cultures? If so it would suggest you learnt nothing whatsoever from your wide travel experience. Truly your unprovoked aggression reveals your ignorance in all its pompous glory.

Re: Talk English or be kicked!

TBH, I know I catch myself being very snotty about being American. It is hard to keep that attitude you are raised with in this culture that you are the Greatest and the best....The reality is, we are pretty damn good, but we to have a lot of faults. So yes, I am ignorant, because I forget or don't know how bad it really is in some places of the world. And I have lived in Europe and try to travel as much as possible.

If you dont like being an american why are you here??? Youd do realize that in general Texans are probably the most arrogant type of americans. when is the last time you heard someone say "dont mess with New Mexico". Alot of Americans know that we are not incredibly advanced over everyother country but When you look at the facts America has the largest well trained military (china has the largest military but a big portion of it is just civilans taught to shoot guns, the other trained forces are about equall to the US). America also has a higher GDP.


people who are proud to be americans are not trying to be aroogant its just that so few people in the world have the privilige of even being what we would call middle class. To me when someone says they are proud to be british or canadian or american they are saying that they are proud to have basic rights and to have a good lifestlye.

There are alot more deserving people who have a worse life then we do. If you arnt proud to live in america then go live in central africa for a year and live like they do. Then if you still fell like living in a first world nation is not a privilige and you still complane about all your problems then shoot yourself for being so dumb.

lol, that phrase is about pollution...It has nothing to do with being arrogant. And how can you possibly say that "Texans are probably the most arrogant type of Americans?"

Man, on my truck, the front bumper does not have a Rebel Stars&Bars, I have a Gadsten Flag on my bumper:

I am damn proud of my heritage, I belong to the Son of the American Revolution. I can quote the Constitution & Bill of Rights very well. I know all the States & State Capitals, could tell you most of the Presidents and the Vice Presidents.

I have my Americana down...but, on the side, I have shame for a lot of the ugliness Americans show. We have some issues here and your generation does not understand(I am not saying you specifically, but almost all the people your age are clueless from what I am finding).

I go to Mexico pretty often, and they have it better in their country than some other countries. We are a proud people, but we are also arrogant and ignorant to a fault.

Want me to keep going?
