Teh interesting (non-PHL-related) news stub thread

[NiX]

Well that's actually pretty cool.

Haha we talked about that in the Only in the Philippines thread and concluded that it was really petty. Everyone's English accent gets made fun of -- Chinese, Indian, French, African, Australian, etc etc.

Hell, our own celebrities make a mockery of English everyday during noontime shows with all that "nosebleed!" bullshit. Pisses me off to the core. =/

^ The nosebleed stuff really pisses me off to no end. People who say that are better off saying nothing.

on topic
making funny accents of other languages is almost common as any conversation i hear about it in LRT, oh well why are they making a big fuzz over a 5+ minute event that is irrelevant to almost every life in the Philippines.

It boggles my mind that people use a statement like that to deride English-speakers, when doing so speaks more about their lack of comprehension more than anything else.

"So the question is this: when are we going to start awarding the Medal of Honor once again for soldiers who kill people and break things so our families can sleep safely at night?"

"We have feminized the Medal of Honor," Fischer wrote. He also quoted General Patton: "Gen. George Patton once famously said, 'The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other guy die for his.'" (Actually, Patton doesn't say anything about the other guy: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.")

So I'm guessing the large portion of MoH recipients in wikipedia are "Pussies" because they received their medals for saving lives, and not taking them.

[Mjting]

N. korea are being such jackasses with this one. I know it's inhumane, but there's this part of me that wants to just nuke the place.
