theres two for ya, ones actually from new Delhi and the other is a major news source.

Edit: I can find a scientist who says global warming is not happening. Finding an economist who wants to make a name for himself at Yale by taking up a contrary opinion? Learn how higher educational institutions work and play to a market.

Well it's not like I asked you to take that article as the word of God, rather to read it and consider some of the ( i.m.o good ) points he makes. And global warming ( or rather whether it's caused by pollution ) has yet to be proven without a shadow of a doubt.

I'm reading oojay and Raine's posts, like I watch a commercial break.

Big3 and adidasss...I'd say you are both coming out of this thread as winners.

TheBig3 · 01-08-2007, 02:45 PM

Yeah but it would be diffrent if I didn't get that commercial break in every single thread I went into.

However, it soon became obvious that a nerve had been touched.
If I was American, the constant references to 'our' ignorance would irritate me also.
As does the average American's knowledge of European and other cultures, irritates me.

And last time I looked, knowledge and intelligence were two different things.
Does it make a person ignorant and stupid, if they don't know that the Welsh language, is an actual working language and not some garbled dialect from a Tolkien novel?

If I was Welsh would that bother me? Probably.
Does it really matter? Not really.

Would it make me intelligent if I said that there are more Welsh speaking people living in Argentina, than there are in Wales?
Intelligent, no. Knowledgeable, yes.

Would it make the average Welsh person, stupid and ignorant for not knowing that fact, (which I guarantee they won't.)
Nope.

But should we care?
I think we should. It makes life far more interesting.

And Urban...is that band really made up of Welsh speaking furry animals?

i actually knew that one

my welsh teacher told me once when she was talking about the language dying out.

I'm a little upset that no one truly appreciates my culture for what it's done here, it seems we've been portrayed as a dying race with a dying language or something of no real significantce to the world.

so meh,

read some of this, maybe it'll intrest one or two of you into taking a look into it,
