The scene where he pretends to be an extortionist inspector
Hilarious that they don’t find it weird that he speaks English, not French.
I would think even back then the frogs would want a diverse police force.
shareI could think it weird that these Albanians speak good English, but that's actually common in Europe. It is the world language and people study it at school and maintain it watching English language movies and tv.
shareCommon my ass.
It's the language of a finished colonialist mentality, studied mostly to asslick USA.
English movies and tv are dubbed anywhere in Europe.
Albanian criminals would probably barely understand it at an elementary level, forget Neeson and his fast talk.
Movies are not dubbed in Scandinavia. And English is becoming more and more common, as we spend more and more time online interacting with people outside our own country - English becomes the natural bridge, because it is so common.
shareWhat a delusional, idiotic mentality.
Scandinavia can go suck some US dicks. And they gleefully do.
Other than their almighty block of 3 people total, nobody else in Europe gives a rat's ass about English, unless they are asslicking America, and every show is dubbed in the local language or it is NOT shown at all.
And if you want to talk about NATURAL bridge, pick a NATURAL language, not this useless shit.
Jesus, who pissed in your corn flakes?
Everything I said is 100% true. This very board is proof of it. Here you have people from all over the world writing in English, and why? Because it's the one language everyone knows to some extent, and they learn it more and more precisely for this reason. Are there non-English boards to visit? Sure, but they're not as popular. Why are they not as popular? Because they are not as populous. And guess what, whenever I go abroad to other European countries, I communicate in English, because by and large I do not speak the local language - but everybody understands a bit of English.
And when non-Scandinavians visit Norway, what do they speak? Every jack one of them asks if we speak English, because 1) they don't expect us to speak French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, or what have you, and 2) they know a bit of English. Hell, even Germans prefer to use English, even though most Norwegians know a bit of German. That's because their English is better than our German. So English is indeed the natural choice.
Which brings me to your next faux pas: how is English not a natural language? And how come YOU are communicating in this "useless shit"? Now, you can either realise how dumb you've made yourself look and retreat in silence, or you can entertain us some more by showing us how deep you can dig your hole. Or you can surprise me and apologise for your infantile behaviour, and we can continue the discussion with no further embarassment from you. Just in case you try to be a coward and delete your nonsense, I'll paste it here so people can see what I was replying to:

Ignore him. Apparently it offends him on some level that English has grown to become the world's most common lingua franca as a result of the worldwide spread of the British Empire, and the later rise of the post-WWII United States as a global superpower. The idea that people voluntarily adopt a second language as a common means of communication, because it makes life easier when we can all understand each other is a problem for him, if the language adopted is the primary language of a country he hates.
It's the mentality of a petulant child -- someone who hates reality, and wants it not to be.
The irony is that he expresses his opinion in flawless (if juvenile) English. According to his own reasoning, this is because his country licks America's ass - and he went along with it.
