The "anything" thread

There are a lot of people here who use English as a second or even third language. That said, most of them are better at it than many of us here in the States. It's sometimes funny to see them apologize for it when there are actually quite clear in what they say. There are always others who clearly struggle and I understand because English is not their native language. I give them a pass because they are at least trying.
The rest of you (yes you who speak English as your native language), try to keep up with the rest of the group!

Actually Murph (yes, I intentionally left the 'y' out), I think you're one of the best posters of the lot, and I'm not speaking strictly to sentence structure or spelling; I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts.
..and it's funny, unless I've heard the persons actual voice (like in-game or on TS for example) I don't add an accent to the text. You all have a Northern Cali accent when I read your shtuff

That reminds me of one American exchange student quite a few years ago who abruptly asked for something as I wasn't seated not too far from the guy, and everyone else in typical Finnish fashion was too shy to communicate without rally-english. So the guy asked the question, I answered, and then he immediately said

I've been living in a foreign country (France) for more than twenty years.
In the Eastern regions the local dialect is well, local, neither nor either French or German (Alsacien), and the dialect changes as we move north.
Add to that about three years in Greece (6 months here, 4 months there and so forth, (I was there before

To Americans: Happy memorial day. Thank you for all those keeping the fight away from home.
To everyone else: Thank you for your contributions in all wars you have fought alongside us, especially to all nations in the ongoing Insurgency in Afghanistan. With today the 50th anniversary of the first American combat troop landings in Vietnam, I want to thank the ROK, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, modern-day Cambodia, Laos, and the hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese that fought and died to protect the people and the rice patties from being forced to a communist way of life. Your deaths were not in vain.

I'd like to thank all resistance movements in countries who are currently oppressed by US sponsored regimes and the citizens of countries who rid themselves of these imperialist aggressors. The citizens of Syria, Iran, Tibet, Guatemala, Cuba, DR Congo, Brazil, Ghana, Chile, Nicaragua who suffered at the hands of CIA sponsored Regime changes.
Also its Border Guard day so long live the pogranichniki of Russia and the Soviet Union! The brave men who gave their lives to defend the borders of the USSR against countless imperialist and fascist aggressors! Urrah!

It's interesting to see that with the recent economic reforms, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is evolving to capitalism, the very thing the northern government tried to fight against years ago.I want to thank North Vietnam,Pathet Lao,China,Ussr,Cuba and the hundreds of thousands of Viet Cong that fought and died to protect the people and the rice patties from being forced to a capitalist way of life.

Edit:
If you seem to so idolize the communist way of life, who is stopping you from going to your nearest DPRK embassy and booking a one-way ticket there? They are the closest you'll get to your wet-dream of an "equal" workers' society, definitely not the UK.

I don't live in the UK anymore, i moved to St Petersburg a month or so back. I see Communist party rallies at least once a month if not more so, the communist party being the second largest party in Russia after Putin's. Babushki i dedushki still refer to the city as Leningrad, i have never met one that does not miss the Soviet Union.
A country where the standard of living was higher than that in the US, a country that pioneered space exploration and science.
You seem to idolise CIA sponsored dictatorships whose track record of torture and death compared to the size of the population far exceeds that of any "communist" (non-US friendly) countries.
Travel to Cuba, see the free healthcare, free education up to degree level and the constitutional right to a job. I already have

That's rice paddies i think - rice patties are, i imagine, a flattened mix of cooked rice and assorted vegetables - probably with spices added - bound with egg and cornflour and then shallow fried. Probably.
