I have yet to meet a student who passionately supports American beef. You go in an American classroom, on any issue there will be passionate support for opposing sides of a political issue. Really, any issue.
When everybody thinks in group think, even if they're all right, that's usually a real problem. |
I disagree. In my adult conversation classes, the students present a variety of different opinions; even on the beef issue. |

In my 36 years of living in the UK, I have never ever heard a muslim cleric on the street inciting muslims kill white people/non muslims/jews etc. In fact I have never ever seen a muslim cleric on the street preaching anything.

Says who? Stop coming out with this BS propaganda - It's not true! I'm looking at a st george flying away outside someones house and it has been that was for the past 2 years. You are allowed to fly any flag you want from outside your house. You are allowed to celebrate christmas, st georges day and sing baa baa black sheep! Stop regurgitating Daily Mail/BNP propaganda.

hmmm...hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's killed since the 1991 Gulf War and you call 9/11 the most spectacular terrorist event in history??
Now, who believes whatever their government tells them. |
Are you from a culture where singular/plural differentiation is nonexistant? Has said culture not grasped how to express events that are not happening in the present? Otherwise I fail to see how you can compare one act that took a couple hours to play out (9/11) with mutiple acts, often related only tenuously, over the course of 17 years.
I'm assuming you're from the Piraha tribe, as that's the only language I know that can't express events using time.

I'm not saying your numbers are wrong, or that what America has done in Iraq is great, but to compare a singular event to a series of events played out over 17 years is just stupid. |
Fair enough. One act cannot be compared to numerous acts of violence on the Iraqi people. The point that I was trying to make is that, whenever America is attacked it is considered Terrorism. Whenever we attack them, it is liberation. The media portrays it as if we are doing these people a favor. |

I've had numerous children tell me the same stereotypes about the Chinese. That is, they are dirty, they love money, they have bad manners, etc.
I wonder if many Koreans believe these things, or I just had the bad luck to meet the few who did. |

bejarano-korea, good work! I love the hysterics over phantom PC in the West. "They want to ban the Bible!" "Terrorists are allowed to run free!" "They're going to force all children to be gay!"
Don't worry. By far the majority of those in charge are still rich, white straight Christian men. Your world is safe. For now.

I love the Daily Mail. Fantastic publication with it's scare mongering and close to BNP ramblings.
I spend every morning when I get up at 5:45am eating home made muesli and reading the Daily Mail, Guardian and The Times (all online). |
