When I saw these originally I thought the Obama-alike only looked similar about 10% of the time.

Yes, inevitable, but what is sad is we HAD what new economies want, a place to connect their wealth with a dream of splendour and tradition, we are just becoming a pit of non melting cultures and blandness.

First image of Jared Leto as The Joker from Suicide Squad.

Well that's a pile of emo Marilyn Manson shite isn't it? I know Heath Ledger was probably impossible to follow, but this is...blech. Not that I'm remotely interested in Suicide Squad anyway. More DC movie flailing about looking for an idea.

Give it a little thought...only 30 million non Chinese speakers learning Chinese but 1.5 billion non English speakers learning English....it's a total wipeout.

But there is a billion chinese speakers and another billion indians.

There are so many languages in india that they have to speak English to understand each other. At one time, I ran a team of Indians where none of them could talk to each other in their mother tongue - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Gujarati. They'd be fucked if none of them could speak English.

When we went to Hungary last year the Germans were speaking in English to the hotel staff as neither one could speak each other's language

Seems like everyone I meet in Japan wants to study English. Looking at getting a part time English teaching job at the moment. Most of the people in my Japanese school seem to be from either Taiwan or Sweden. I guess Japanese is useful for people from Taiwan or Korea or something since it's nearby. A guy asked my Swedish friend why there are so many Swedes here learning Japanese and he said it's just so they don't need subtitles when they watch anime lol.

Next time I try to study a foreign language I'm going to pick something nice and easy like Spanish.

My favourite opinion on the subject that never goes down well is that English when abroad, you're better off teaching the locals English than trying to learn their language.

English is the most spoken language in the world, either as first or second language. That just a reality of life.

While there is little point in learning any other language other than English, I think everyone should learn another language.

It's the most WIDELY spoken language and is on track to be the practically the default language for the world.
We should really clean it up, full of ridiculous punctuation and obscure rules.

Who largely learn English as a second language. Due to it being the business language of the world. So afraid your argument still fails. :)

So I went out drinking last night. 12 double JD and Cokes, 18 shots of Apple Sourz and 4 Kapparbergs. I was buzzing but not properly drunk. It was actually quite disappointing!
