Almost all democratic countries in the world
have an open language policy - for all languages.

But what is interesting is the fact most of these
countries use English as their official or unofficial second language.

India, Pakistan, most African counties, most central American countries,
Philippines, Indonesia, Japan ... this list is very long.

It's mostly for one reason.

International trade.

I think before Ukraine has a second language they should strengthen their first.

Drij,

I agree.
It's important for each nation to have its own national language.
For many decades the communists did much damage, from Moscow,
to the Ukrainian language and people.
Ukraine needs to strengthen its Ukrainian heritage and national voice with vigor.
This will take time and patience.
The Ukrainian spirit, thanks to Orange and others, is healthy and very alive now.
Things will move faster than before.

Again, it's good to remember and practice the language of trade.

This forum is a nice example.

Do you have her phone number?

No man. She was my girlfriend once, but then we had this terrible quarrel. She yelled that it was over between us and that she didn't want to see me again. Then she went out slamming the door. She also changed her telephone number so that I wouldn't harass her. I have heard she's hanging around with that Yushchenko guy now. But as I see she's cheating on him with andrewblow. Oh well, she was a little too old for me anyway.

No problem man. Maybe Mikita could get me her number.

Besides, I think Relick is in love with you now.

Tymoshenko really is good looking.
Not like the chuchelo Vitrenko. Anyone has a picture of her? Just joking, don't post it.
