Dunkelzahn Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 ch brauche nicht, ein globaler Bürger zu sein, weil ich durch Nationalität gesegnet werde, die ich Mitglied einer wachsenden Bevölkerung bin, wir unsere Popularität dort sind Sachen erzwingen, die scheinen, uns darunter zu ziehen und es gibt Sachen, die uns schleppen Sie hinunter, aber there's eine Energie und eine lebenswichtige Anwesenheit thats, die ganz um haben uns lauern, den amerikanischen Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Horrorshow Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 So Dark Tooth...when you say "you" you refer to Globalism, or is it just the crappy Manifest Destiny thing that American culture seems to be imposing these days?Btw is it OK if we continue this conversation in English (since you have before) for the sake of the rest of the board? Hopefully the rest the locals haven't watched enough exotic pornography to pick up a few extra languages here and there. (Not a cultural stab I assure you...just a very sad, sad fact on how I learned the language.)(Btw I loved you in MitS. Kick ass stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Horrorshow Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Wait. My bad. We weren't really supposed to respond to that, were we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Would someone please post a translation?While learning multiple languages is definitely advantageous, I dont' think all of us know German. Besides, I believe this is an English Language forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkelzahn Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 They are lyrics from a song....i don't need to be a global citizen because i'm blessed by nationality i'm member of a growing populace we enforce our popularity there are things that seem to pull us under and there are things that drag us down but there's a power and a vital presence thats lurking all around we've got the american jesus see him on the interstate we've got the american jesus.

Dunkelzahn Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 And for my new legal status I am a citizen of America, with this new legal status comes better tax rates,and less work regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stigmata Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Okay...I don't know why you felt the need to translate an old Bad Religion song for us, a song that was originally written and sung in English but whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Very much my fault, Stigmata. I requested it.Glad to see that America-bashing still hasn't gone out of style. I was afraid that Utopia had totally eclipsed us in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkelzahn Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Oh, Preston you really should try living in east Berlin, it will give you a whole new look on our great nation. But really I would hope people would see that this was a joke. But people are people,and for some reason my jokes are rarely laughed at, when I am not there in person.

Neil Preston Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I am curious as to why a German nova-citizen would want to become an American one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkelzahn Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well, wile the beet and sausages in the states are so good. I will have to stick with my guns about the taxes and less laws dealing my lively hood.And Jager, you may call it eastern Berlin, I call it East Berlin, for there is a wall still standing.Just one that is harder to see.

Jager Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Dunkelzahn, too often the walls you are refering to are the walls people put up themselves.Waiting for someone to pick them up, instead of picking themselves up.Waiting for someone else to take the blame for where they are in life.Putting one's faith in one's self breaks down all kinds of walls. Not all of them, but everyone should start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkelzahn Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 Yes, because the poor are poor because they want to be.Go out and pull yourself up by your boot straps.Ask not what the rich can do for you, but what you can do for the rich....By the way, I did work my way out of the place I was born, and wile it was "good" for my area, I was still held back do to my birth place, but hey it is my grand father's fault for buying a house in East side of Berlin in the 30's.

Jager Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 You had a harder row to hoe ...You had to try harder than anyone else ...And?Life isn't fair.The poor do not deserve to be poor.The rich do not deserve to be rich.They are and that's that. What you do with the cards your dealt is what matters.Your family stayed in East Berlin when others left. It was their choice. Some who tried to leave died. Most made it.Making the rich poor doesn't make the poor rich. It just makes more poor people. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
