I a world where we are one. We need one language. I don't care what it is but it would be good.

My post was a tad misplaced, seeing how I do come across that stuff quite often in Dota2; mostly people bitching about having Russians on their team.. Although there is some merit to that, same as with Germans and Polish peoples at times; the refusal to talk in a language the other players understand. Trying hard not to come off as racist myself, yet those are the only languages I've come across that just send one to three general chat messages in english and for the rest return to spamming their own language; intense dislike for that, yet, forcing everyone to adopt english is probably a bit of a dick move on my/our parts as well.
Sorry about that. But seeing how I don't like censoring history, I'll leave that post there, so everybody can realise that fail of common sense. I'll make an edit that adds I did realise that though.
I've come across that with a lot more than just germans/russians/polish; dutchies these days seem to have a hand of it, some arabians as well; and probably basically every country/language has people that at times ignore the 'language in effect' on a certain site or game, and just post in their own language in the midst of it all.
+1 on the common language, NWO
*edit: After that post I actually noticed while watching football/soccer that that seems to be the theme of the cup; 'respect not racism'... funky synchronicities always!
