Let's go back in the thread:

Everyone can see that you are not telling the truth. Why are you even trying?
Chinese is useful to communicate with 15% more people - but English is still a "world language" - and useful in more places; and we still don't understand why you put Spanish way ahead of English.
Oh I agree those are the most useful language to learn, but consider this, if I am to use one language and go around the world, what would be the best?
(Base on main cities)
English
Europe - I can go around most countries OK
Asia - I can go around most countries OK
US - I can go around most countries OK
India - you can use English in many cities just fine, not great, but fine.
South Africa - you can use it almost anywhere.
Spanish
Europe - I can get around many countries fine, but much less accepted than English
Asia - I don't think you can get around many countries at all
US - Mexico and South America is fine, main US area.... not so much
India - I am unsure how well received is Spanish there.
South Africa - again I am unsure how easy to go around with Spanish there.
Chinese
Eurpoe - unless you are in China Town, otherwise useless anywhere.
Asia - unless you are in China and Taiwan, otherwise Japan, Korea and such, no so much.
US - again unless you are in China Town, trying to Chinese in the middle of New York won't get you far.
India - good luck
South Africa - again, good luck

How is that the whole world?
And only one language.

English is no world language as well, as only a part of the world is speaking it. You are right if you say its useful in more places, but still that doesnt make it a "world language", as only a part of the world only is actually really speaking english. I brought examples which should show you that the world is not speaking english. Most people play their native language only.
Tragic, good that he was caught.

Apart from being factually incorrect this has nothing to do with: you linking a German news-source on an English forum, you incorrectly claiming that Chinese and Spanish are spoken by way more people than English.

A world language is a language that is spoken internationally and is learned and spoken by a large number of people as a second language. A world language is characterized not only by the total number of speakers (native and second language speakers), but also by its geographical distribution, as well as use in international organizations and diplomatic relations.
One of the most widely spoken and fastest spreading world languages today is English, which has over 900 million first- and second-language users worldwide. It is estimated to have as many as 600 million second-language speakers, including anywhere between 200 and 350 million learners/users in China alone, at varying levels of study and proficiency, though this number is difficult to accurately assess. English is also increasingly becoming the dominant language of scientific research and papers worldwide, having even outpaced national languages in Western European countries, including France, where a recent study showed that English has massively displaced French as the language of scientific research in "hard" as well as in applied sciences.
Are you just opposing him for the sake of opposing, or still trying to make a stupid point that English is not the "world language".
Since it is the closest thing to the "world language" there is. There is no other language that is as wide spread in the world as English is. There is no other language that is used as a language for international business, international science, etc. You can communicate with people in English in virtually any other country in the world, which is not true about any other language.
And frankly speaking in the modern world if you take people younger than 30 - i'd say only morons don't speak English on a level good enough to be able to communicate well enough to show you the way, or let's say make an order in a restaurant, or explain themselves in short easy phrases.
Again if you knew a lot of people you would never chose to defend rapists and you would never put their life in front of others.
If you knew people/person that was raped you would no that there is no punishment severe enough for a rapist because victims lives changes drastically.
So you are the one who should act mature and not pretend that you don't want some kind of a retribution.
I never said that 1000s of people are raped in Germany every day, find where i said that.
I said that the law doesnt work since there are 1000s of rapes, thats a big difference.
Man, there is such a steady stream of inflammatory bullshit everyday.

First there is no evidence that public sector pensions are excessive and private pension contributions are usually matched and that still does not cover the cost of retirement. Both of these solutions would get you over a budget gap but would not fix the problem in the long run.
Immigration does not results in an ever expanding solution, those people will be living on earth anyways and populating. All you are doing is shifting the working population from one country that cannot support them to another until the gap is filled. While you can argue about the immigration selection process the fact that it is needed should be pretty obvious.

Most underdeveloped countries the number one goal of anyone of means is to get themselves and their children out, the change needed for those countries to become developed is next to impossible. I don't see it as anything but the normal flow of things smart people want to get out and developing countries need them.
Damn those whites, always raping people. WHY ARE THEY SO VIOLENT? WHY ARE ALL CATHOLICS AND CHRISTIANS SO INTOLERANT? We have to put them all in jail, otherwise they will destroy us! Oh, wait, IS IT A WHITE HETEROSSEXUAL MALE? IS IT A FRIKKEN WHITE HETEROSSEXUAL MALE THAT IS NOT MUSLIM AND ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN GOD? HOW DISGUSTING, HE IS RAPING ME JUST BY BEING IN MY PRESENCE, WHAT A VIOLENT BIGOT
Let's blame all refugees for that, also Islam btw ... okay ?
Sweden accepts the second most immigrants in the EU.
When comparing #2 with #1 it is fair to assume their subset's are equivalent.
