Comment on Are the languages that can be fluently spoken only if you are descendent of a particular community/country ?

Ok. I thought I’ll clear things up. Yes I had received the relevant responses and I’m happy with the answers I got.

But I’d like to bring attention to comments like yours or the one prior to it, because I see such comments throughout lemmy. It assumes the worst from someone’s post/comment and gives a negative spin for the discussion.

My question was genuine and if you must know it arose from my curiosity that if there will be a language that I cannot be 100% fluent in even if I try. Thought I’d ask with others.

But now I’m wondering if any of my comments were offensive and reading through them again I don’t think I was (hence this response). Again since I’m a non native English speaker, I apologise if it were.

But the whole discussion has moved away from the original point. I had never heard of Eugenics, which from the little I read now, are deeply disturbing concepts. I’m sad that my question could be compared to it.

The point is to ask stupid questions here. And mine was stupid enough. I got my responses from others. But please stop this trend of putting words into people’s mouths and negativistic spin on things. It doesn’t brew a healthy community. People will fear asking questions here (or anywhere in Lemmy).

No.

Google “sealioning” and “JAQing off” to understand why not.

  I see people accusing others of sealiening in order to dismiss their argument more often than actual sealioning.

    If you don’t do your homework and you ask in bad faith, you don’t deserve explanations.

  Well if you can’t tell the difference. There is nothing more to say.
  
  Hope you can look at the world more positively and leave the rest of us alone.

    Hope one day you wake up, get out of your fantasy world and join us in the real one. Making it better requires looking clearly at reality, not wearing pink colored glasses.
    
    Less dreaming, less prayer, and more reality.

You seem to misunderstand what I said and why I said it. In my response to the other person which is what you are responding to, I simply was giving you a concise answer based on your other replies.

I made no claims as to your intentions and offered only clarity. My response was specifically that. If you did not know here is clarity, hopefully you learned and moved on. Otherwise there is not much internet strangers can do. I did specifically mentioned I did not know your intentions which is why I wrote it, for clarity.

If you felt my response was negative than you failed to understand what I wrote and there’s nothing I can really do about that
