1. I never asked for tolerance, I just explained something when you picked on my posts for spelling mistakes one day.
2. Lately you may (or may not) have noticed that I respond to busy in the same way he posts....
3.Wtf has that got to do with you?

It should be apparent that anyone, if asked, would aver the ability to speak a second language would be of benefit somehow, but to give it state sanction absent a concommitant requirement (which would be oppressive) to learn it is illogical at best.

well i think that we have exhausted both sides of that .....it is getting repeatative.... so time to move on

My point was that the ideal is to discuss.

When we make comments, as you did, it means that this desire is gone and that we want to argue.

To argue means that we will defend our point beyond logical opposition as it is about being right, not what is right.

Such a position really hurts a discussion forum.

We must all be secure in ourselves to admit when we are wrong, or even to admit that someone else might have a valid point.

Yes, and one way to minimize that particular need is to practice what I like to refer to as "wrong" avoidance.

It's just easier to be right. :D

Well you are doing a shit job. I considered myself rather mild (at least to some member's liking) in this thread. You act as if someone is attacking your posts when they aren't. You are disputing points that people agree on. If they say it again it doesn't mean you haven't said it.

Remedial class is on you little buddy.

Keeping trying to respond the way you think I post. You are vidcc and I am Busyman and the posts will reflect such.

Now to the topic...... :dry:

OK, I'll bite.
Where do YOU see the world of commerce heading?
Which wolf is going to become dominant?

My guess would be China.

My brother does a considerable amount of business in China ( makes several trips a year) and ALL his business dealings are in English.
This is not some sort of xenophobic phenomonon, simply a matter of convenience...written Chinese is a nightmare, not really workable for dealing with the rest of the world, so they are adopting English as the language of choice to deal with us round eyes.

Seems to me that most of the pressure around here (Denver) is to accomodate Spanish speaking folk, but, using your logic, that makes no sense as it is highly unlikely that Mexico is going to become an economic superpower anytime soon.

Who said anything about higher posting method? You must view it that way seeing that you are on every inch of my nut sac like you are on every inch of my posts.

Who knows your shit rationale behind how you post by trying to copy me (word for word it seems)? You do a shit copy and paste job seeing that you are Drawing Room veteran. Maybe you should stick to doing drawrings little fella.

Go Fuck yourself
Shut the Fuck Up and Get The Fuck Out
FfFfFfFfFfFfFuck you

Aww Fuck
I Fucked up..........fucking damn fucking you, you fucking win I fucking guess your were fucking right.

edit: I'm sorry let me write it so you'll understand it.....

Og Fukc yoursfle

Moving on....again. :dry:

Actually I don't know of any big Spanish superpowers in commerce. I'm sure they are there but they don't make news.

As you said... Mexico. No
All of South America. Nope
Spain..No
Central America. No

Some of those areas are stuck in the er..stucko as it is. Some of those folks come here as a refuge..economic and socio-political.
