You realize English is the lingua franca right? Most bilingual people in the world speak English as their second language, especially if they're educated.
It's pretty funny to be honest, since speaking English isn't really exclusive at all. If you want the group to be for the US/UK/Can/Aus/NZ/SA, just say so. If not, let all English speakers in.
Disclaimer: I speak English, live in the US, and grew up in the UK. Can't get more English than that and I still think this is idiotic.

To quote "The Miz": Really? Really? Really?
Well, I suppose that group will be too bloated to be an interesting proposal for gifting. You'll have lousy odds. :-D

What about the deaf? Their primary language would be sign language. That'd be a little unfair IMO. :-D
Plus leveraging the concept that simply because one has english as his primary language, that he'd be more apt at communicating with other english speakers to me is inane.
To me a segregate group solely for "english speakers" in a site whose main language and public is comprised of such an audience is merely an unnecessary prejudice against the minoritary "micro communities" that coexist here.
Please, don't feed bigotry further, the world has no need of it.

Heh, you would guess that English is the most common language spoken on the internet and that English speakers don't really have any restrictions to speak their language and exercise their culture. I guess not, eh.

Hmm. A bit strange. Not sure what to make of this.
I'll join. See what the group turns into.

This group just seems like: "I'm so proud because I CAN speak my NATIVE language". What makes it absolutly ridiculous since you are from USA. You know, isn't "so" hard to learn your own language.

And why it would be ridiculous? And if it were not Brazillian, but any other country (because there are other groups that are a specific country only and you know about it), would you still complain?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, but that's because this is clearly a joke thread. Player1 specifically made this thread because he saw the other one.

Because even a parrot can speak English, and most of people here (I guess at least 95%) can do it as the same as it can.

Sure... And you can turn into an asshole easily with using one sentence too.

There are a lot of regional groups out there. Why do you decided to choose our group (who doesn't even have been created yet) to make fun?
Comment has been collapsed.
Where I said that the title is making fun of the brazilian group? Obviously I was talking about the intention of parodying!
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool, you don't need to get your panties in a bunch because you want to make your Brazillian master race group and expect it not to get parody'd.

I'm sorry but I just can't understand why that group bother you all so much. Anyway, I will not argue anymore since I got better things to do. You're acting so full of reason and at the same time you're visibly so full of yourself because everybody here seems to love you. But you don't seem to be realizing that you are being ignorant and prejudiced with non-english speakers.
Speaking for myself, I used to admire you. But after this first conversation I have changed my mind.

So I need to explain why this group is bothering me? It's so obvious, you are making fun of the brazilian group when we weren't making fun of you!
Pal, you really don't worth my time... Adeus!

Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

Well technically English is my second language, because while I was growing up I learned Punjabi first but I immediately started learning english. I figured out English before I even got into preschool though. (btw I just learned about this, I thought that I learned English as my very first language!) And I live in a place where everything is English: Vancouver, Canada!

Hello English speaking SG users!
To start off, let me ask you how it feels to be greeted in your native tongue? Pretty good, yeah? So I decided to make a Steam group for the users of the site who learned English as a first language (EFL). That way, we all have a place all to ourselves where can socialize, talk about games, and even hold private giveaways!
Here's the link: English Speaking S.G.
If you wish to join, simply post here! :D
OUR FIRST GIVEAWAY IS UP
