Current Events > Scenario: You discover that you have a long lost sister.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It turns out you have an older sister that your parents never told you about. They called her Amy and believed she died when she was a baby in a car crash in Germany. The body was never found but there was enough blood on the scene that the police said there was no chance she survived.

The whole affair was too painful for them so they never talk about it or bring it up. That's why you didn't know.

Turns out the police on the scene were incompetent, possibly a French national and that blood actually came from a red fox

Your sister was found by German farmhands who assumed her to be abandoned and raised her as their own. Her name is Erika Aeschlimann.

Somehow you by chance discover the truth about all of this as well as definitive proof that you are related.

Looking her up online you can tell from her social media that she was a farmhand until adulthood, served in the army as a sniper for years and now builds and repairs Heavy Duty Bail and Press machines for industrial recycling of cardboard. She can also speak English as a second language.



Would you get in contact? If so, what would you say?
Would you tell your parents?
Or would you leave that door closed forever?

ah yes this needed to be explained since she's like 80 right

this actually could have happened for me, cause my parents did used to live in Germany for a time. but they came home to America with my older brother instead of a sister. it would be interesting if my brother had a secret twin. yes, I would try to contact her

49% of Germany can't speak any English

And half of the 51% that can, don't speak it fluently.

if this is true (doubtful) it's cause those 49% are fucking old
i literally hinted at this in my post genius

I wonder how she dealt with the fact that she wouldn't look German at all
---

Is she hot?

Aren't you the dude who claimed the German Consitution was a right wing meme?

Your opinions are suspect at best.

Well you could ask her

But you have to make contact

How's her ass?

My parents weren't together long enough before me for this very specific scenario to be possible-- now if it was a half-sister, then maybe, although I know too much about my parents' lives for that really to work either.

You didn't exist

I found out I had 2 half sisters when I was in my later teen ls and I didn't give a shit >_>. I still never talked to them. I grew up with 3 full sisters I was close with, I'm good.

---

56% speak English and those that dont are likely old, as Choco said, or immigrants from non-English speaking countries.

I actually have a half sister I have never met or contacted in any way.

Honestly never felt any inclination to, know it tears my dad up though... he still keeps a picture of her on his bed stand, the last one he had from when she was a little girl.

Yup.

Used to live there .

In my experience it was even worse than that outside of cities

Dead even so far

No one has said if they would tell their parents or what they would say to her tho

Because I know my parents' lives, when they were married, etc. You know, the same way I know other things that happened before I was born. Are you just being obtuse or did you fail history classes?

You know stuff that happened before you were born that nobody told you about?

How?

Why wouldn't my family have told me about their lives? Do you not know when your parents were married?

^Yeah, and it still doesn't fit the timeline of my parents' lives, as I said, so it's an impossible scenario in my life.

Look, I get how much you like being argumentative, but a little bit of reading comprehension isn't too much to ask.

The irony of this post is hilarious.

You're running into a topic arguing that you are an omniscient God who has all-knowing understaning of events that predates your existence despite never being told or being aware of them.

An when asked how go "STOP BEING ARUGIAENTJATATIVE! USE READIng COMPRHENSIN!"

Hypocrite. If you actually read the OP using reading comprehension you wouldn't be in your hole now.

You're the one who can't read, you're the one arguing and you're wrong. You projecting hypocrite.

Now answer the question or go away.

---

^Dude, I know when my parents met, when they got married and have seen pictures of the wedding, plus I was conceived pretty soon after that. None of that makes me an 'omniscient God' it's just a bunch of normal stuff that most people could pretty easily find out about their family members if they wanted to spend a couple of minutes just asking questions.

So, try again troll.

But, as this is your MO, I'm not expecting much.

Lol so?

Man your reading comprehension is awful.

Stop being so needlessly argumentative.

Answer the question or leave the topic. You're embarrasing yourself.

Lmao that's so inaccurate, it's not even funny. I've met German guys from playing different MMO's and there are definitely Germans who speak fluent English (albeit with an accent because it's their second language).

Anyway, to your weirdly specific scenario... It's just too specific to ever happen to me lol.

Right back at you, bro. But I've seen plenty of your topics, so I know you never will as it's your gimmick.

I've got plenty of people in my family that I've known most of my life that I barely ever talk to, adding one more to that list doesn't make much of a difference to me. Some 40something chick that lives in a different country-- I wouldn't care enough to contact her, I probably wouldn't even search for her in the first place.

You think a handful of guys playing MMOs on English speaking servers is a good measure for the nation as a whole?

Considering I've met multiple Germans that have mentioned that they learned English in School? And internet searches back up those claims that it's standard for German schools to teach English? Yes, I'm pretty sure that's a better metric than your ass pull percentages lol.

UR is wrong but to be fair, the average age in germany is like 100 and most of those old people are not exactly fluent in english

---

I probably do. I just only have more distant long lost relatives in my ancestry profile... a lot of them on side.

"Your anecdotal evidence (which actually was stats from the German Government) said 51% WHILE MY CRAPPY WEBSITE (which literally links to wikipedia data from 2012) SAYS 56% THAT'S A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!"

Lol okay dude. Whatever you say. I think that 5% disceprenacy was just 4.1 million people moving to get away from you.

None of which changes that of that 50 odd percentage, only about half can speak it fluently. If you go outside of a major city in Germany and can only speak English you're in trouble.

Or you'll just have to use Google translate all day

Fwiw, the people around me can speak English well enough, but none of them would describe themselves as "fluent"

I feel they tend to underestimate their capabilities

I actually do have an unknown sibling out there in the world somewhere. No idea how to track them down though.
