Why your language sucks

Chinese and Japanese
Hey, guess what? Advanced societies stopped using ideograms three thousand years ago and for a very good reason: It's fucking stupid having to learn one symbol for each word. Get yourselves a fucking alphabet, you savages.
Chinese has the added retardedness that it can be ambiguously written in either direction.

English
The only thing more stupid than a language with ideograms, is a language with incomplete verbs.
Why is there no way to know if the written word "read" is in the present, past, or participle?
Why is there no past, future, or infinitive tenses for "can"?
And I can't forget the lack of distinction between singular and plural second persons.


Feel free to add more to the list.

Come to think of it, what do Western European languages need two past tenses for? Other languages do just fine with just one!
I mean, explain the logic behind "I went to London" vs "I've gone to London", when the context is, say, you moved there a year ago or something. (There is supposedly a logic here, but the usage is more inconsistent than some religions!)
