Since this is an International site, why don't we all talk in the TRUE International language, Esperanto.   :wanker:

What was wrong with having everyone speak Klingon?  :'(

I love Klingon! They have no word for "apologize" or "peacekeeper",  and probably not "humility" or "bully" either.

How many more are missing?
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I'd imagine the Swede's would have an easier time pronouncing it because it's more similar to their language.

I wouldn't want to give them an unfair advantage.  ;)

Do vi uloj ne ŝat Esperanto?
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar

I always confuse esperanto with desperado.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.
Reverence is fine, Sanctity is silly.
We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.
