What...
« on: September 01, 2006, 12:56:36 PM »
Languages do you know or want to learn? I obviously know english, and I still remember a little Latin. I would like to study more latin, and learn Russian, Japanese, and a couple of ancient languages like Sanskrit.

George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

At the moment only English- I've forgotten most of the German I leant in school.   I am going to start learning French once the kids go back to school.
