May 24, 2012 - So would argue that a superpower then would be the most influential on the world state when it comes to promoting language and culture?

suryavajra Says:

May 24, 2012 - **So would you

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - yes

suryavajra Says:

May 24, 2012 - hmmmm...so would you say Russia and the US were the most successful in exporting their cultures and languages given both were super powers in the last fifty years during the Cold War??

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - Maybe Russia regarding ex Soviet states and Eastern Europe, but the US has been, and still is, the most influential of the past 50 years

suryavajra Says:

May 24, 2012 - Well you make a good point. I wonder if France was a good export of culture and language during Napoleon's time. What do you think?

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - Wasn't the Metric system adopted during the Napleonic Era? France had always been influential in law and diplomacy too, as French was considered the language of diplomacy

suryavajra Says:

May 24, 2012 - Very true.  Well said. Though I will say that I am no friend of the metric system. lol!

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - Well, actually, France and Britain are set to overtake Germany economically in 15-20 years.You have a larger economy because you have a larger population which means a larger workforce. I love curry, man. Do you like kebabs, you've got a lot of Turks.. right? You should be more tolerant. :D

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - We use both here

suryavajra Says:

May 24, 2012 - Get rid of the metric one...lol1

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - I've been meaning to ask you, why do you have such a profound knowledge of history? Do you have a history degree or something lol

Jadcardie Says:

May 24, 2012 - Have you ever read up on ancient history? Or do you prefer modern history?

suryavajra Says:

May 24, 2012 - Well I've read up on both, but my passion is in Ancient History to be honest!

Jadcardie Says:

Runenprinz Says:

May 24, 2012 - "Well, actually, France and Britain are set to overtake Germany economically in 15-20 years."Both France's and Britain's economies are declining while Germany's is the only one in the EU that's rising; and nobody can say how it's going to be in 20 years from now. We can't even say how things will be in one year from now. Such "predictions" depend on too many incalculable factors, so they are unscientific and therefore worthless.Besides, I like kebab and I don't have anything against Turks.
