Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

I am wondering...in a few years there will be automatic translators pinned to your jacket. You would speak it would translate it automatically to the other person's device etc
Most translators will be out of a job...
But no completely because at official meetings etc they will always be neededComment

Any truth to this?"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

Blue-uth-thin, not Blue-ith-in...
'y' is a bit complicated, but I'm pretty sure that it should be an 'uh' rather than an 'ih' sound...but definitely not an 'ee'...

Edit:
Bloody censorship!
OK...kum-ree...

Re: Minor European Languages
Let it die. They don't even have words for modern concepts. Let it fade out with the American Indian languages. Hard enough to learn the major languages. Less languages = better.Originally posted by Boddington's

Slow - Araf
Ambulance - Ambiwlans
Bridgend - Pen-y-bont
Cardiff - Caerdydd
No smoking - Dim Ysmygy
Football Club - Clwb Pel-droed
Do you know a few words of minor language?Comment
