Good call. If I'd seen it, I'd have had another, more legitimate tirade than my typical one.
Anyway, B+, you've acknowledged your um.. my English sucks. |

I saw it, and suspected that you were banned.
Kelka dii ante anke me pensis pri sendar a vu mesajo pri lingui konstruktita ma me vidis vua mesajo pri Kanada e kelkete hezitis - vu ne devas prizar ta lando (me venas de ibe ma malgre ke me preferas esar en Korea me pensas ke Kanada ne esas tante mala lando komparante a multa altri en la mondo) ma la vorti quin vu skribis pri Kanada kelkete surprizigis me.
Anyway, people are more fun when they're relaxed. Good to see you weren't banned. |

Wow. I'm sure this would sound awesome in the native pronunciation.
What is it? |

Bee Positive, at least you consider other people's feelings,
at least you realize you're not perfect,
and at least you admit that you're not perfect.
That is more than can be said for many people on this board. |

The extreme left can be just as ruled by base emotion as the extreme right; they can be equally illogical, equally vindictive, equally prone to knee-jerk reactions, equally prone to sinister pantomime sniggers when the object of their contempt suffers.
When you hear someone "explaining" why 9/11 or the Bali Bombing took place, ask yourself; is this philosophy flowing from genuine compassion, or from a secret desire to see others suffer to fulfill some balancing cosmic karma (dude!)? Either may be the writer's true intention. It is the reasoning (or lack of it) of their arguments that one must listen out for.

You forgot one choice. The explanation that is neither has no emotion (compassionate or hateful). Not many people are capable of such a lack of emotion especially when talking about something that big, but it is possible. |

Thanks, Mith.
I've never devoted a moment of study to Ido, but nonetheless managed to read every word of what you wrote (assuming that it was, in fact, in Ido!) without hesitation.
And if that's not a recommendation for the utility of a constructed language, I don't know what is!
You were surprised by what I wrote about Canada (though I can't imagine why--Canada never has been a free country, and likely, I suspect, never will be--make a Canadian your head of state, Canucks, and I'll start respecting you); you hesitated to PM me in an artificial language (please do so any time, by the way: your PM's are welcome), etc.
Meanwhile,
So many people are dead over there in Iraq.
And they keep dying every day.
Those who don't die are maimed, blinded, deprived of limbs, scarred for life.
We lack compassion, we lack intelligence, we lack decency, we lack understanding, we lack humanity, if we fail to be moved to horror, repulsion, disgust spilling over into nausea, by the sheer utter awfulness of it all.
Imagine . . . YOUR family dead. Your friends. Anyone and everyone you care for. Burnt to a crisp by chemical weapons, shot or bombed or otherwise mutilated and destroyed.
Meanwhile, some perverted and deranged bozo calling him- or herself "Grotto" keeps PM'ing me with a message that I am mentally sick and need "professional help."
Dear Christ. Or rather dear Krishna. Or rather, just, dear life.
It freaks the bejesus out of me to see my fellow humans being torn apart and destroyed because . . . well . . . because . . . just maybe . . .
I'm sane?
An excess of sanity, of feeling, of perception, is hurting me.
I suffer when I read the news.
I suffer when I read "Black Hawk down. Twelve US military dead"
as much as I suffer when I read of the Iraqi and Afghanistani dead.
Don't you?
Come on, now Grotto--maybe you haven't studied languages, and so let me instruct you: "psychopathic" means "soul-suffering." Don't you suffer in your soul when you read the news out of Iraq? Don't you? DON'T YOU SUFFER? If not, then you must be either God, or perhaps a devil, or, well, maybe you don't read the news to begin with. I SUFFER, bozo, when I read about thousands and thousands of people being killed--especially when it's for NO DEMONSTRABLE REASON AT ALL! I'd suffer even if YOU died--OK, get it? Would you suffer, likewise, for me?
(WHOA! That's the soju kicking in and moving the fingers, though the thoughts and sentiments are mine 24/7, and just need a bit of help to work themselves out online.)
My radical proposal is that we embrace a radically pro-life stand.
ENOUGH death and destruction!
Let's cut it out. Let's start living peacefully and cooperatively. Let's all of us do it, and do it now.
From the core of my being, this is what I believe.
The spin-offs of this belief come off, unfortunately, as jerkish and insensitive. When I say, "Screw you, Canadian suck-ups who say 'how high' when London or Washington tells you to jump," I'm merely deploring the centuries-old tendency of Canadians to seek the easy way out by deferring to authority and refusing to think for themselves and choose what is right.
Was in a Busan restaurant a few nights ago, with some really, really dumb Canadians at a neighboring table wrecking my appetite.
Evey other word was "like."
"I was like . . . what are you talking aboot, man . . . I mean, I was like, I don't speak Korean, OK? So then, I was like . . ."
Sorry, Canadians, I'd love to like you, but you've gotta stand up and at least declare yourselves a sovereign and fully self-governing country first . . .
REPUBLIC OF CANADA, people--eh?
An idea whose time has come.

Yes, the third bottle of soju will likely recommend this course of action. I'll be in love with my pillow until morning.
A fourth bottle would likely have me out in the street fighting for a Republic of Canada,
which in the sober light of the morning would not have been a wise course of action. Let the dead bury their dead, as Christ said, and let the Canadians tend to Canada.
I'm American and am thus quite simply out of a country.
