Why are you doing this?
Because this is hilarious. Stop your reversions, and I will stop my vandalism, and we can talk about a perminant cease fire.
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
It is hard to see how doing tedious vandalism is hilarious, and as you can see, I've stopped for the moment ... I don't understand your desire for a cease fire though; you'll either stop causing problems, or you won't. But if you'd like, let me know what you intend or what you mean, and I will listen.
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
CHORUS:
I'd like to know why someone would spend the time learning such a useless language.
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
:We don't think it is useless; it is however, a long way from a full-fledged language. For me, it helps me think more clearly about what I am trying to say.
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

And for the record, the vandalism is not tedius. All I do is several repetative keyboard commands when I see a page I have not vandalized, and It is vandalized in less than a second. If it were tedius, would I have been able to complete so much work in so little time?
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
You have 1 minute to respond before my vandalism resumes.
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
CHORUS
Sure, you can do lots of tedious work in a short time. If you don't feel it so, that's your opinion.

I've vandalized nearly the entire lojban wikipedia in less than a night. I feel that to be an achievement. It's a GOAL I set for myself. I sit and watch TV and vandalize this. I enjoy the tactile sensation of such labour, but I'm considering scripting it. Lojban is such a frivilous language anyway. One might as well learn klingon, or some other fairy tale language that someone pretends to believe is important. My question to you is: Why would you spend hours, even days of your time learning such a language, when so few speak it?
In the victory of Communism's deathless ideal,
:Why do you spend hours, even days watching TV and typing on a computer? Because you want to. As I said before, I study lojban, and practice it here, because I believe it helps me think more clearly. Others have different reasons. Some are linguists looking interested in the Sapir-Whorf theorm; others consider it a useful language because it is unambiguous; some are interested because it's an easier language for a computer to use than English; others because they think it would make a good international language (I don't)
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!
CHORUS
