    We have election day in Germany today.

    Gave both my votes for the far right AfD party. My father and brothers voted AfD as well and my girlfriend too. The results will come in at 18 o clock. Im really excited. The mainstream media did evrything they could to make a smear campaign against AfD. They failed. Polls think AfD will have pretty massive numbers.

    I always find it amusing when a person goes low IQ and shows openly its low status. Move on and you may reach the status of a parrot.

    Dont know what this report is but all German poll organisations say that the AfD will make it into the Bundestag. Most even think it will be the leading oppossition party.

    89 seat is a good start for a fledgling party, but it remains to be seen how much influence it will have and whether they can grow from here.

    Back when America was still great, we were taught that in school.

    Today in America ebonics and spanglish is politically correct.

    Not really, English is a creole of latin, saxon and norman french. Anyway, england produced Newton, Ockam, Darwin.

    Their is few countries who match the legacy of germanic people when you consider science and music, I would consider mainly four : United Kingdom, USA, France and Italy.

    Its a gargantuan thing when you know how phlegmatic the german election system is. Conidering the fact how much the Merkel CDu already switched for the right just in panic for the AfD you can guess how much this will accelerate now that there is a powerful Oppossition. An oppossition that will rule the finances and has the power to ask questions.

    You were taught in school that the Germanic overlords simplified their language for mentally inferior Celts and Brits? Where the hell did you go to school?

    Not to rain on your parade, but I highly doubt they will rule anything. From what I have read, 60% of the people who voted for AfD don't even support it based on exit polling They were protest votes.

    Its not about ruling. When you join the parliament you get seats in comissions. You get seats in media commissions. You can call for investigations. Germany had no functional oppossition.

    The CSU got a desaster in bavia and their leader Seehofer already said he will demand a halt for any refugees and go much further right. There is no room for leftist dream utopias anymore and thats what matters.

    The AfD right now is the most important corrective in the german parliament.

    As with the construction contractor who simplified their language for uneducated, unskilled, illegal aliens from Mexico by using Spanglish.

    When I attended UCLB my counselor recommended that I could bypass taking the basic remedial history courses and I enrolled in History 15 A.

    Holly crap, the first two books we had to read were printed in Middle English and what was even worse the font was in Gothic

    If I hadn't taken two semesters of high school German, I would have flunked out of that class.

    FYI:

    I attended Manhattan Beach Unified School District K though 12. Back during the 1960's Maria Costa High School was academically rated one of the top high schools in America. But that was back before liberals took over California and California had the best public schools in America. Today California is near the bottom.

    Today, forty some years later Maria Costa isn't rated as one of the best high schools in America, could be because 42% of the students are minorities many who speak Spanglish.

    2017 Rankings

    Mira Costa High is ranked #274 in the National Rankings and earned a goldmedal. Schools are ranked based on their performance on state-required tests and how well they prepare students for college. Read more about how we rank the Best High Schools.

    Exactly. It remains to be seen what kind of impact the AFD can have in the Bundestag. Those 60% protest votes are not a stable foundation.
    Traditionally, far right parties have always shown to be rather incompetent regarding parliamentary work in the last four - five decades in many state parliaments in Germany. They very often have been extremely busy tearing themselves apart.
    However, I'm sure the next four years will be interesting and hopefully Merkel's last term..

    Actually, no, I'm going to go back and tackle this point-by-point, because this is nonsense.

    What does that have to do with the Celts and Brits I asked about?

    Good for you. And? I tested out of two semesters of history in college. So what?

    Please don't pretend that Middle English is all that hard. We had to read it in AP English in high school. I took two classes that in college that involved reading Middle English. Learn a couple of special characters and read it aloud and it really isn't that difficult. And Gothic font . . . again, so what? What's difficult about reading Gothic font?

    I aced Medieval Literature in college. The entire reading list was in Middle English. Knowing German isn't necessary. Nor does this have anything to do with our discussion, since Middle English is precisely the sort of thing you guys are calling dumbed down German.

    Which of your HS classes taught you German ethnic supremacism?

    Look at it is way, Germans are America's largest single ethnic group in America. It's been like that since the mid 1800's. What do you think was taught ?

    During America's colonial era during the 1700's Germans were the second largest ethnic group in Colonial America. One notice that when you notice the names of the colonial towns along the eastern seaboard of America.

    If it weren't for the German immigrants and their offspring during the American Revolution, we would all be limies today in America.

    During the 1700's the vast majority of the gunsmiths in Colonial America were Germans and in upper state New York between 1776 and 1783 there was one German gunsmith who was able to produce 20,000 muskets per year.

    None of those non-sequiturs answers the question.

    When it's printed in Middle English Gothic font, knowing some German helps.
