...denn wir alles lieben dich... ...und... ...

Ok, one: What the fuck did you just try to say? Two, correction (assuming I understand what you attempted): Hola, ¿dónde está tu oso? Yo maté a tu oso para tener su pie. :confused1:

English - Fluent German - Half/Three-quarters Fluent (It's pretty much my second language at this point, though I'm not as fluent as Starbucks ) Spanish - Decent Amount (I could survive in Mexico/Spain, but I couldn't get into deep philosophical conversations while speaking in Spanish) Swedish - Small Amount (And, as previously stated, I can speak some Norwegian and Danish because of my limited knowledge of Swedish.. but I actually do prefer Swedish because it's somewhat easier to pronounce for an American than than the other two). Considering that I want to become a linguist and want to have that as my life's career, I should also mention that I plan to take Mandarin next year (because that's when my school will be able to offer it) and Arabic or Russian (one of the two) when in college. However, I should also say that, admittedly and unfortunately, I will most likely fail miserably at those languages, especially considering that I'm a white American. Oh well. Oh! And by the way: Linguistics doesn't cover only the ability to speak the language; I'm also curious in orthography, grammar, and the history/development of languages.

..story bro. It had to be done.

2-2? Are you kidding me? ._. I am disappointed. I mean, it's cool that we're not losing, but we're not winning either. :ohwell:

...Robert Green failed you. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1937620

...You will vote for him now. Edit: No, I'm not an Oprah fan. However, this guy seems like he deserves the attention. He's good (enough) in my opinion.

HAH! A TIE!

...comes this interesting episode that's a spoof on the Empire Strikes Back. I'm not much of a Family Guy fan myself, so I found this kind of cool when a friend showed me. Enjoy! (Note: This is sponsored by Hulu, so the episode will eventually disappear; if you want to watch this video later—say, a year from now—the video would most likely be unavailable)

Für alle die Leute, die mit mir und Starbucks Deutsch sprechen möchten: Es macht nichts, ob du Holländer bist oder du wenig Deutsch sprichst. Wenn du Deutsch sprechen möchtest, komm in den SG-Ventrilo heute und sei bereit, Deutsch zu sprechen. Auch: Wenn du viele Probleme mit Deutsch hast, frag mich oder Starbucks, damit wir dir helfen können. Er und ich werden euch gern helfen.

Когда вы узнали, русский язык? Как хорошо вы?

[For jeN:] (Reposted in case the original answer hadn't been noticed :/)

Godwin's Law has been invoked. Stop that right now and get back on topic. We're here to discuss the German language, not the people or their history. Edit: Ich bin gut aber das Leben kann sich bald ändern.

If you haven't a clue what that is, then don't worry. Starbucks and I—primarily he, not I—are both interested in finding other individuals who speak and/or enjoy the German language. If you're also interested in this, go ahead and add Starbucks or me to your friends list and meet us in the community's Ventrilo server. Trolls: This topic is definitely not the place to troll. OTF was the only place that subsumed this topic, so, really, shut up. If you have no relation or interest, don't post here.

You, Potshot. Why? Simply to see your reaction. People respond to death differently, and it'd be interesting to see how someone such as yourself would respond to such a situation. Edit: After second thought, you and Dracula lined side-by-side for the same reason.

Ok, so I promised myself that I'd let people respond without anything from me, but I'm somewhat confused. I'm a mentally retarded/handicapped serial killer?

I'm somewhat bored and need something to reasonably concentrate on. So, here's the help that I need from you all: Truthfully provide feedback for/insult/compliment me with anything that you can think of. I mean it. You can say I'm the best of, the worst of, or in the middle of awesomeness. You can say that I'm cool because of this, or that I'm a piece of shit because of that. I don't care. Bring it on.

Does anyone know the title of the song from 0:37-1:08? I would greatly appreciate it; Google and Youtube have both failed me in having this information. AIzbwV7on6Q

Ok. And that (shitty in retrospect) appeal has relevance how?

So, since we're all being semi-philosophical, I have some questions/comments for y'all. We all keep complaining and bitching about the community leaders not living up to their own standards. So, why don't we do something about it? Hmm? Why do we continue to whine and blame while we sit back and do absolutely nothing? Hmm? Let's start actually submitting valid complaints and watch what happens. If the leaders can't own up to their mistakes and deny the complaint, then that'll only reveal their true colors. Honestly: whining solves nothing. Next, why don't "the" leaders actually be leaders for once? I hear all the time about how just and fair decisions are, how decision-making is always completed objectively with a group decision. First off, neither Garfield and Daze were involved in the strike decision; what the fuck? Are they not community leaders? If the decision-making system is so thorough, so objective and fair, then why aren't you owning up to that standard? Perhaps instead of acting on quick impulse to ban someone, you should put the guy on probation until you hear input from a LARGE portion of ALL the leaders. Making a decision on short-notice within an online organization this large is poor management. If you want to actually be unbiased and objective, then start doing things the right way, not the "if you give us money, we'll let you into our clique and therefore give you absolute immunity." ( Leadership is a complex topic, but I'm sure we can all agree that, to be an effective leader, you set the expectations + rules, lead by example, and make decisions properly. I understand that decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis; that's how it should generally be done. But allowing the leaders off the leash while "whiplashing" the "lower end of the food chain" is dishonest and pathetic. Oh, and by the way, there is a fine line between fun and abuse. If it occurred once and had no malevolent intent, it may not necessarily be abuse. Unless, of course, it's alright to rocket players but NOT to drug players on their request. Can we please begin to define what's "fun" and "abuse" ? --- TL/DR: Let's stop moaning and actually do something about all the hypocrisy of the community leaders. Until then, stfu. Community leaders: Be fucking leaders. Own up to your mistakes and take responsibility. Hiding behind the shield of other leaders (and your clique "up there") is pathetic and childish, as if you're shedding many years off your age and going back to your days before maturity. We need to begin to define what is fun and what is abuse. Why? Because some people are let off for far worse things than others. And it's not just higher-ups; I've seen some SAs treated with more immunity than other even when the beginning circumstances were level (e.g., neither had a strike and both had integrity). --- Edit: I'm not going to make this post longer, so I'll make it brief. Either punish both Bay and Crimson/Obez, or revoke Bay's third strike. In this situation, it should be both punished or neither punished. Stop playing favorites.

Wasn't a copy-paste. I messed up when I was typing the b-code. I do that often. Can do that often.
