French fury over English language

I was hoping I wouldn't have to clarify a point I already thought was clear. When I said I'm not worried, its because I don't perceive a threat. This fellow however isn't worried (though he perceives a threat) as far as Finnish is concerned, i.e. he doesn't care. This is somewhat saddening on a forum for European nationalists.

There is much to argue about what being pro-European and Nationalist is and how.. in fact even about what Europe really is.

But to make short a long story, since it is obvious that a bond cannot be built on full trust grounds, then at least it must be on grounds of do et des. Which are, of course, shaky grounds.

I think the details are debatable. The big picture is there. In my opinion.

Of course, I suspect Carnyx's comment was more of a 'back-at-you' because I'm not overtly shocked about the loss of status of French as an international language.

I'm sure that deep down he carries a worry in his heart over this small, yet brave and courageous people that dwells on the northern extremities of his continent (and their language).

The big picture is blurry. You need to enhance the definition.
