How do you know German? Did you just decide to take it in school? Why German? We should probably all be learning Chinese.....

When I was a child, my Dad got stationed in Stuttgart, Germany for 3 years.

Mom wasn't fooled by this "The Army made me do it!" excuse and tracked him down- so I got 3 years of learning German from Germans, which I followed up by continuing my education in it.

Why Chinese? With all the immigrants from the south, I'd assume Spanish would be the best second language. Although in Minnesota, we're getting enough Somali immigrants where that could be another useful langauge [though we're not yet at that point; they seem to keep mainly in their own small groups].

Why Chinese?

2 Billion+ speakers. Growing economy. Superpower. Cheap consumer goods. Intellectual Property piracy.

Tasty food.

Every 3 months the Chinese graduate 10,000 hackers from their elite training schools. What country do you think the majority of these 10K will be using their skills on? Guess how many hackers the US trains every 3 months for cyberspace defense? None. The US spent billions of dollars on a "cyberspace defense" that is crap. And yes, this is all unclassified information. And that's not even going into the ghost internet box that they have posession of. The moral of the story: learn Chinese.

Is that too political? All I did was state facts. I can go back and edit it if need be. Nobody quote me just in case I need to edit.

I changed a few things to make it less political.

I recently read China has a one trillion dollar surplus. I'm annoyed, but for reasons that I'm not allowed to go into.

(suspects that Jdvn-1 has spent a billion or so on importing sesame chicken, so its his own doggone fault, but he can't talk about it because he hasn't had a breakthrough in therapy)
