  Why should I need to run down someone incapable of fusing coherent logic and making comprehensible sense to the sane?
  
  I'm sure the fact you're neither linguistically sound nor logically sensible would lend an awful lot of credit to your drivel about painting the non-existent utopian picture which is supposedly commonplace.
  
  Suffice to say, I'm certainly glad I'm not endowed with the perspective and intellect of someone who has barely seen as much of the world in a lifetime as I have in a year.
  
  Nevertheless, do keep the mindless humour coming though - I'm sure hardworking folks done with a day's work would dearly love some fictional fantasy to keep their minds away from the grim reality of life.

  I learned German because German is the most spoken language in the EU.
  Now japanese because it is the 2nd largest economy in the world.
  
  Anyway now I learn is because can learn free during uni Only opportunity cost is increased stress and most likely pulling down of CAP. But never mind...

  I like what good ole Baden-Württemberg says, wir können alles außer hochdeutsch.
  
  Japanese is easy if you took up mandarin . Kanji is just basically mandarin.

  That's why we learn english instead of japanese in schools.
  
  Frankly I wished I learnt russian. RUSSKI for the win but their cyrillic kills.
  
  Better still go learn aramaic - can read dead sea scrolls.
