Hahahaha, good one, Availor! :)
:p Funny!
In reality I wish more interview programs did use text.
Heheheh! That is hilarious!
Thanks for posting!
Maybe they can use subtitles when President Bush speaks. I also was hoping he could take English lessons from President Fox of Mexico.
LOL :DQuote:

It doesn't even bother me that the Prime Minister of Canada speaks English better than the president of the United States.
But I don't think it is too much to ask that the US president learn to speak English at least as well as Vicente Fox, former President of Mexico, and Michelle Bachelet, current President of Chile.
Ad the very least, I wish that during his term in office he would learn to pronounce the word "nuclear."
Is that too much to ask?

:) I always liked that one. One of my favorites! It's been on Military.com for a long time. They have a whole section of videos. Thanks for sharing Availor!
Having fun today ...
Hahahahaha! Most excellent! I can't wait to see Availor's reaction! :)
Today has not been a good day so I'm having a play.Quote:

Hahahaha! LOOOOL Intbel now that was a funny one :D:eek: I loved it! What program did you use to make my face talk?
Hey Intbel, make me have a goofy face after about 5 seconds. I mean that my present face will stay on for 5 seconds and then make some goofy face, and I will put it as my new avatar :)
[I thought it was goofy.....] :D
Well more goofy then ;)Quote:

subtitles under it in, Dutch, I mean , if you put subtitles under it then
Dutch subtitles under a Dutch movie is well, stupid, now if they made
real flemish subtitles under it, I could understand. To get back at us,
but Dutch????
And this is not a joke, allthough it was very funny.
Actually it's not a joke at all and serves a purpose. All hebrew movies have hebrew subtitles. They are meant for the deaf.Quote:

Nope, otherwise their own programs would also have that like flemish movies.Quote:

for important sounds to the storyline, and that was working too, I checked.
Yeah I noticed that, but the thing is that we subtitle flemish spokenQuote:

parts and I think they wanted to get even, and subtitle our movies
spoken in regular Dutch, it would have been right if they translated it in real flemish.
the signs language is irritating because it distracts a person from seeing the movie. Besides, not everyone knows the signs language and some people are not entirely deaf.
By the way, this way I learned hebrew. I knrew english before I knew hebrew, so when I watched cartoons which were all in english I read the hebrew subtitles and learned the language that way.
I'm trying to learn Arabic the same way now :)
Yep, I learned german and english from watching TV at a young age.Quote:

Who does speak English well? To whom it is my soul will tell,
Of all tis in the heart of me, the self, the soul that none doth see.
To carve the words, so that they become themselves a work of art
Is the poetry the knowing both the cadence and the content are one target.
So the words become the brush, the trowel that labors on a wall
Of stones hewn in alabastor and glazes score the lines combining all
In graceful plaster.
Tis, this master, who uses words to burn and form a vision
That sets friend and foe to naught the end to which can end division.
This the skill that the masses don't attain
That causes readers to hurry and once more come back again,
Is present here within the native tongue
That I once learned so long ago when I once upon a time
I too was young.
Sally, is this yours? Nice one :)
Any poetry I post I also write.
You are writing quite a bit of poetry lately Sally - must be spring where you are?Quote:

If that goes further, it is human to do so, and the wisdom, hangs in the balance, doesn't it.
I would go further and say we could do well to love all folks as far as we are able .. and if we are not able, then work on it.Quote:

Availor, you asked about poetry, I have posted here my favorite poem. I wrote this before I knew of TG and it ended sadly though hopefully.
However, though written nine years ago, it has been an ongoing reality. A lonliness because I was out of my elelment but more over among people whom my words fell upon like raindrops on a tin roof, just made noise and never penetrated a single inch.
It is good to be heard.
Most of you know nothing of the rest of my life, to say that here I find a contrast, that there is something undefineable to be found here, is an understatement for me. That wonderment, perhaps are minds that work like my own.
It is a very good thing.
Nice one. One question though: Did you miss the period at the end on purpose? You seem to start a new line with a capital letter but you didn't put a period mark before it.
"making peasants into kings"
Now that is a sentence I've heard many times before. It's very true.
Sally...
That is a beautiful poem. There is both an underlying sadness, yet, at the same time, a feeling of hope that feels like a light in the distance. Sort of a reminder that "All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle."
My wish for you is that your life be filled with light, as your messages bring lignt to those who read them.

With poetry you can pretty well do what you want.
I left it open ended, you see, like a photo finishing lab, never know, someday my prints may come.
Very punny :)Quote:
