  • I got banned from Six Flags once when I was a kid

    I was on that ride that shoots straight up and hangs for a moment before dropping

    I wanted to get a picture of the view at the top, but but when I pulled the disposable camera out of my pocket some change fell out and it nearly hit the crowd below

    When getting off the ride the young guy running the ride rolled his eyes and gave me a speech he was clearly forced to memorize, banning me from the park.

    I felt bad about what had happened, and I just walked away to find my parents.

    He didn’t take my name or picture. No one ever came to escort me from the park, so I guess I was never actually banned.

    Just made me think I was.

    I am implying that losing a world war and subsequent occupation to English speaking nations has a residual lasting effect

    Likewise had it gone the other way there would certainly be more Americans with German as a second language

    Education isn’t particularly relevant in this situation

    Even my tiny rural American school offered French, German, and Spanish

    If they choose,. most choose to learn Spanish or French since those are the languages we are likely to encounter on either border. Very few Americans speak German because how infrequently we encounter anyone who does here.

    Though, even more choose not to learn a foreign language at all
