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!!! |

Releasing stuff in German isn't a sign of national socialism.
It just means that you're a part of the retard scene. |

Puterman; I hope you did not mean "retard" like "stupid" but in "reserve scene" way.
If then of "reserve scene": It's right, any national C64 scene is more little than being one part and working together international!
All the best!
Bye!

Quote: True, it's ofcoz allright to release anything you want and do it in whatever language you want. But it shouldn't come as a suprise to the creators of those releases/C64-websites, that most non-germans gets a little 'annoyed' when we see yet another release/C64-website in german. But that's their chance to take, and i really don't think it's that big a problem at the moment. (just reset your C64 or click close in your browser when you see something in german, and you won't be bothered - that's what i do and it works fine :) )
About being 'annoyed': It is extremely annoying to hear nazi comparisons only because someone uses his or her German mother tongue. It would be exactly equally unjustified to say that nothing should be released in English because the USA started so many wars in the last couple of decades.
Just as an anecdote: In German protests against the war in Iraq, some people refused to use the English word "Peace" as their slogan. Instead, rainbow flags with the Italian word "Pace" appeared on the demonstrations. In an interview, somebody said "why should we use the language of the aggressor?"
But as I said above: This is the same bullshit as Sad has spreaded in this forum - only in a reversed version. |

Yep, Turbo64 strikes back with another fine message in English...
What I meant was that the releases that are in German usually suck anyway. Considering that, this discussion is pretty pointless, as those of us who don't understand German should only be happy that we don't get the message in "Ficken im Zelt", "Fressepissen" and other fine examples of German culture. |

perhaps you should change your travel-guide, if your examples are the high-point of german culture! ;-)

And let's just not forget that those products made on german language are not all made by 100% pure-blood, blonde and blue-eyed Germans. If a Jew or a Arabic dude who live in Germany for decades, decide to release a c64 mag just for the audience in Germany, as they speak hebrew, arabic and german only, but would still like to share the knowledge or love toward the commie, that'll make them nazi supermans?!
Example: I made a c64 related site on serbian language only, while I'm not a Serb at all, but a mixture of Hungarian, German and Polish blood, now what's your definition on that? A Serb nationalist German Ungro-Polak?
The only solution would be to take your time and learn some german. Golden rule: as many languages you understand, as more friends you can have. |

Another rational argument from Puterman - he doesn't like it, so it sucks. :)
The scene doesn't need this. Ideally we would all speak the same language, but we don't. There's nothing wrong with a German diskmag, a Polish diskmag, a Spanish website..
I write scrolltext and articles in English, so am I excluding people? NO! English is my language, so I use it.
End of discussion. |

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)) |
