Why there's always someone that say this when you mention Esperanto ?
1) It's not an attempt at standarizing common languages for Europe, but an 
attemp to create a common language for the world.
2) I DO have a need for it because I use it, I write/read/speak it.
3) It didn't fail. A language like this cannot be expected to be spoken for 
day to night, but it has survived more than 100 years (although The Soviet 
Union, The Nazi goverment, The Sadam Husein goverment and a lot of other 
military and facist goverments did the best to kill as much esperantists as 
possible), it is spoken by 2 million people worldwide and the number is 
increasing.
