Chinese forum was closed, and then is ours quite safe?
I hope you'll put more posts here!:|\\
|
Chinese forum still exists, it is just turned off, no one posted there for 6 months, :( Japanese forum is safe, there are still people posting here. We need more Japanese members, though.
Wanted: more Japanese subsim guys! :yep: |

Sometimes I find some Japanese guys in other forums. But they seem to want to post their messages ONLY in English, not in Japanese. I know there are a lot of readers here and really hope they will join us someday... Well I want to say what you did again: WE NEED MORE JAPANESE GUYS!! :rock: |
久々にログインしてみたら、中国語用のフォーラムが消えていますね^^;

Hey Neal, how about a German forum? There's alot of German subsimmers about already on these forums, but many who can't speak english properly don't register here, which creates a division, especially in the modding communities.
|
It's strange Germans are always assumed to speak English, though in reality for at least half the population it's a real trauma.
I found myself hardly ever posting in the german forums, because I am not going to restrict myself with talking to 5% of the community. But Boris is right, there is some interesting stuff going on there, and we usually miss it. There are some guys walking between the lines and translating interesting developments into the german forums, so they know what's going on, but do we? Btw, I wonder why there are hardly any French skippers .. would like to brush up my French as well .. |
I think it's because the French love their language and keep within their own communities.
I'm going to make a post suggesting a German lanquage section in the 'Comments to Subsim review setion' |
There is a lot of french people here reading posts on Subsim but they have nothing to say and a lot are bored about french bashing /(jokes) posts since 2003 so they left US forums.
|
Yep, everyone who thinks he is clever comes up with French jokes. I think it is a clear sign of ignorance and pathetic lack of wit on the one who tells them. I've been to France several times and I've always found the French to be wonderful people. Americans who say they met rude French should look in the mirror first to see why they were perhaps rude.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=98480&page=2&highlight=french We would like to have more French in our community. I would, certainly.:yep: |
Those who say rude things about the French are only demostrating thier ignorance. Google "French military victory" and you will find that they had been bathed in military glory way before the birth of US. And they have evolved out of glory-hungry "patriotism" long ago. In more than one way, the Americans have a lot to learn from older civilizations.

I can't bad mouth France, largely because America exists in no small part due to the aid of France in the Revolution and the teachings of Voltaire, but I understand why others do. It's not the loss to Germany, it's the general French (or, more accurately, Parisian) attitude of superiority and ethnocentrism. On the original subject, I agree, Chotto... Watashi wa nihonjin iranai. (Excuse any mistakes, I'm barely through my first year of study, and I can't get my conversion software to put out kanji and hiragana) |

Oh nooo,,,, Watashi wa nionjin iranai, mean... "I am not need any Japanese on here....." But it's ok !

I was trying to say I wasn't japanese. Could you help me out? Obviously if I didn't enjoy Japanese culture and history I wouldn't be studying such a frusterating language. It's fascinating, but oh god is it difficult. I picked Latin up much faster. |

Americans hate the French because it's like looking into a mirror and they don't like what they see. :) |
France (and England, to a lesser extent) were largely responsible for the putative nature of The Treaty of Versailles, which my man Woodrow Wilson predicted would start World War 2.
You prefer make buisnes with Hitler until you delcare war to Germany than helping French and British? The whole Vietnam conflict might have been avoided if France would have not treated the inhabitants so poorly. And if the USA didn't give weapon to 'liberation movement' of Indochina. In 1954 why US troops replace French troops in Indochina, why didn't the USA let the people of indochina alone. And then of course there's the fact that France hasn't treated Americans well the last century. Give me some, we can discuss them. Even American soldiers fighting to liberate France said the people were unwelcoming, hostile and rude. Angry people were in village and cities were desvasted by the most precise bombing force of the WW2. Have you ever look at somle photo of Cean, Le Havre, Brest and some other major city or village of France after the US bombing (the city were I leave was bombed in 1944 and half destroyed, the target was a railway station 15km away!). So when you lost all your family and your house, you will see the Liberator with an otehr point of view. I do think it is unfortunate that France is ridiculed for falling so quickly to Germany in World War 2, though, as they were doomed from the beginning. France fought an undivided Germany almost unaided and before it was able to mount the defenses it had planned. England would have fallen just as easily were it not for the all important Channel. Do you know how many french soldier were killed during the 5 weeks of the german assault ? I don't think,Ii will give you the number 91,000 and 232,000 were wounded report this to the total population of France in 1940 and compare with all the US troops lost during the all WW2. |

Are you familiar with the Korean War? Have you asked the South Koreans whether they'd have preferred Americans "let the people of Indochina alone?" Perhaps you would have preferred the assimilation of Indochina by, you know, the Chinese? Quote:
It's just sentiment. There was the defacing of American and British tombstones (I know, vocal minority, but still pretty low) and countless other small occurrences of petty Nationalism. Most apparent is the treatment of Americans visiting Paris. Of the several Americans I've talked to about their visit to Paris, all but one said they were harassed on multiple occasions. The one that didn't pretended to be Canadian. Quote:
First of all, thanks for the complement, our air power in WW2 did kick 32 flavors of ass. :p The thing is, this was true of every other country in the war as well. According to reports from famous divisions like the 101st, even the German people were more receptive of American soldiers than the French. Though there were civilian casualties, there was looting and there were countless little atrocities on either side even in the best of times the people of France really could have been more receptive to the men who were dying far away from their homes for French gain.

I'm enjoying this argument, but this really isn't the best place. Maybe we can take it somewhere else? |
Never meet a French Fry i didn't like!
Viva La France:up: :|\\ |

The US decided the war, but they didn't win it - that credit belongs to Russia, and to a lesser extend to Britain. I do think, however, the French were without a chance because they were the most battle weary after WWI, and many accepted the inevitable, especially as the Nazis were accepting the French on Racial terms, showing a sincere interest in their culture, and treating them relatively better than most occupied countries (I say relatively, of course they still treated them bad!). I agree that the French must take the blame for the Treaty of Versailles, but that was the time, and it was not like they had no reason. Think of 1871, think of the level of destruction in Eastern France. The Kaisers terms, had he won the war, would have been even more unfair and there would certainly have been another war in any case. GE P.S. Vive la France! |
now there is a classical exapmple of thread hijacking...
any links to the Jap and Chinese forums in question? |
