Do you watch it, 'tard boy? If so, why? If not, then how would you know it is fake,
'tard boy?

Always LMFAO at the stupid 'tard boy.

The attempted 'Ebonics' program was an admission of failure in the
education system, but there's help for the rest of us. We can now
conform to THEIR language instead of teaching them OURS. Neat!

Please type in a common phrase. You WILL be enlightened..

Uh...if you guys are going to be -- dare I say bigots -- would you at
least have the decency to be equal opportunity bigots, rather than
single out one particular ethnic group?

I mean, where's the joking about Southern white folks and THEIR
colloquial speak?

How is talking funny being a bigot. Hell me and my black friends make fun of
this stuff all the time as well as southern and redneck dialog. Your the
sensitive one making it a racial isue. We just think it sounds funny. Big
deal.

Al Patrick November 21st 04 09:08 PM

Ever heard of Dumb Blond jokes or Red Neck jokes? I've been told that
both those can only apply to WHITE folks. I know of few who've ever
objected to those.

Maybe YOU'D like to tell a few of those just to balance the stats for
r.r.s. (Eyes is white so eyes can't tell dem kine o' jokes!) ;-)

How do you sleep at night?

Just curious.

It must be cool to have no conscience. Just ask Dan Rather.

I'm guessing mostly people who wake at night and need something to do other
than waking the wife (or husband).


Not necessarily. Shortwave listening goes along with my ham radio
hobby, something I've been enjoying for many years. I even had some fun
with it late at night when in the Air Force (story told here several
times in the past so I'll refrain from boring the old-timers in the
group).

But it's not something solely for the insomniac -- although some
interesting stuff comes in at night that I'd never hear during the day.
For one thing, I do a bit of traveling, so having a way of getting
English-language news broadcasts around the world is important to me. I
especially enjoy the big-gun broadcasters like BBC, Radio Netherlands,
Deutsche Welle, Radio Australia, Radio Taiwan and NHK Radio Japan, as
well as the VOA. It also gives me a different insight on the happenings
in the world, from a non-American point of view -- makes me look at
things differently sometimes, or at least to try to understand the
viewpoint of other nations of events happening in the world.

Some of the programming from countries like Radio Havana Cuba or China
Radio International can be entertaining, ideology aside. I especially
enjoy Arnie Corro's DX program on RHC when I have a chance to tune in.

And of course, I enjoy some of the religious programing, usually HCJB.
(I even had the pleasure of meeting Allan Graham, host of their DXing
program, some months back on one of his US visits. Even though I don't
always have the chance to listen to his program on the air, I make sure
to download it from the HCJB website for off-air listening.)

No, it's not something solely for the insomniac. My wife sometimes
thinks I'm a little weird for it but I can live with that. ;-)

I once read that Americans are the *least* knowledgable about the rest
of the world than the other way around.

I think there's truth to this notion.


I think there's a LOT of truth to this notion. Probably it's because
many of us just don't care all that much about anything but ourselves.
Sad commentary, but there it is.
