German thing

I only want to ask sceners from germany, why they release so much things in german language? Why they can't do it in English? In german, it will be only for german speak, but most of us can speak only english, so why they want to do things for all of us? Maybe there is still feeling in them, that they are something special and they don't want respect everyone. You know, who staretd two world wars and why!!!

What about the polish scene? Why are there those releases made in polish only? I mean you know who's country got divided at least twice, so maybe some sort of national problem there too?

all i can say to this topic is: rotfl (:

although interesting to read (and maybe a bit scary that people start to think you are a nationalist because you prefer using your mother language for various reasons (like limited audience - digital talk for exapmle is some sort of "small-talk-mag", some partie-organizers also may think that their party isn't very interesting for foreigners and also had a small amount of visitors (and scene-wise releases)until know-or limited skills in other languages))

At first, something to Puterman : You know, what you wrote. I'm angry and I hope, that I will meet you on some party and kick your ass.
I read all of your comments and I changed opinion a few.
RESPECT! Sad

my guess: the reason why some germans prefer to express themselves in their native language simply is, that they want to avoid embarrassment and chose to NOT type incomprehendable bullshit as so many others do...

Stephan, I don't know what exactly did you mean by referring to the Polish scene. National problem? If I understand correctly, you're explaining the existence of Polish-only diskmags or websites with our desire to enclose ourselves, which is coming from the fact that we are angry at other countries for historical reasons. And you're probably 100% wrong.

I can only speak for myself, but, personally, I use my native language everytime when I want to make myself perfectly clear, express what I _exactly_ want to share with others etc. because Polish is the only language I know inside out. If I had any choice, I wouldn't use English at all, unless it proves absolutely necessary. Unfortunately not many people I'm in contact with know Polish.

So for all non-Anglo-Saxon nations it's a matter of the following choice: whether you wish to communicate with the whole world in a somewhat, more or less, crippled way, or to communicate excellently with your countrymates only.

Sad: First you accuse people of being nazis (and classical argument), then you threaten to beat me up (even more classical). You seem to be a very warm and intelligent person, so I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Sad: Grow up and get a life! This is the most incoherent drivel I read here in a long time! And it's probably pretty embarrassing for your polish mates to see one of theirs behave like an bull in a china shop!
So, here's my humble and friendly advice: Consider a silent retreat before you put your foot in it another time. It can't get any worse anyway...

This discussion is the absolute highlight of all the CSDB discussions i've read so far - and by Jove, there have for sure been some stupid discussions here. But this discussion beats them all by far, and here's my conclusions;

1) Sad. You're completely "way out", "whacko", "weird" or "looney" and might be entitled this years annual "nutcase", "screwball", "maniac" or "whatever-you-may-prefer" award. Especially concidering the nazi-conspiracy-theory combined with threatening to beat up Puterman. You're using about the same rhetorics as George W Bush. My sincere congratulations.

2) Releases in german, polish, dutch, etc, are by most definitions considered retard by default.

This whole "retard/lame scene" thing that people have been labelling releases/people with is WRONG. And labelling a release in a particular language as "retard" is also WRONG.

It's got to the stage where there isn't any point releasing anything new - you either get hailed by the elite scene and then get people complain, or you get called lame from the start and will never be regarded any higher because of the elite.

I thought the scene had grown up past petty fights and name-calling. Obviously I was wrong.

SAD is czech scener, not polish. I suggest to check from which domain these messages are coming as this seem to be too much.

<flamebait>If there are diskmags in german, they are prolly not worth reading..</flamebait>

However, SAD, rather then search for german Parties, which only have german Invitations, you should look for german Parties which do have also english Invitations.

The next which comes to my Mind are BackInTimeLive/Germany and Vision2003/Germany.

Some releases are in non-english because at the time of doing them, the authors english was worse then acceptable.
This is surely NO sign of any political direction.

Have FUN,
Zed Yago
