I teach English in a French high school in South West France and I use
BBC Worldservice in my classes on a Worldspace receiver and a Sony
ICF-7600D.
Does anyone in this newsgroup use shortwave stations and BBC WS in class?
All the best from the sunny Pyrenees.

Americans are completely apathetic regarding International affairs.
We prefer street crime and militaristic jingoism from all our news
media. People here use the shortwave to listen to KKK preachers.

DaviD - Thanks for showing us the True Mind-Set of a Political Cadre
of the Liberal 'Enlightened' Democrat Party of the USA and their
Left-Wing Mass Media Friends.

DaviD - Speak for 'yourself' and kindly allow your fellow Americans
to Speak for themselves : As It is their Right to Self-Determination
and Individual Freedom of Expression.

Question DaviD - How can 'you' Claim to be such a Champion of
the Individual Rights and Freedoms Americans : "IF" 'you' hold
your fellow Americans in such low regard ? ? ?

DaviD - More Liberal Anti-Christian Bias and Left-Wing Bigotry :
Trying to Link the KKK {White Racists} and Shortwave Preachers
{Christian Ministers}
-Point- A Few May Be - But Not The Vast Majority.
The Vast Majority of Christian Ministers on-and-off of TV, Radio
and Shortwave Radio are decent honest Persons-of-Faith - Who :
* Love Their God and Their Christian Brothers and Sisters
* Love Their Fellow Man and Want To Share The Good News
About Jesus-the-Christ.
* Have Respect for Humanity; and the Gift of Life;
plus the Sanctity of Life.

DaviD - Here is a Fact for You - Senator Robert "KKK" Bird, WV
was a Klan Member and Leader in the "KKK" and is right now a
Member and Leader in the Democrat Party of the USA.
* Not All Senators are former members of the KKK.
* Not All Democrat are former members of the KKK.
BUT - The Democrat's "Revere" Senator Robert "KKK" Bird .
DaviD - Are These Democrat Values ?
DaviD - Are These American Values ?

Perhaps it is happening in some schools, but I have not heard of it.
We're having a hard enough time getting evolution taught without
intellectual design/creationism getting equal weight.

Remember, this is the country where French Fries (that's what we
normally call our fried potatoes) were renamed Freedom Fries when the

That seems a little low. Amerikkkans are voluntarily retarded.

DaviD Writes - " Amerikkkans are voluntarily retarded. "

DaviD - this is 'your' basic problem posting to this newsgroup.
'you' take an honest discussion about the BBC and turn it into
an Anti-American Hit Piece.

DaviD - Do 'you' Have Any Respect for the Members of this NewGroup ?

DaviD - 'you choose to Spell American with a "KKK" instead of a 'c'.
Was this the Daily Talking Point of the Democrat Party of the USA ?

Does the Writting Stype Guide for the Democrat Party of the USA
now require 'you' to spell the word [American] "AmeriKKKan" ?

DaviD - Do 'you' Have Any Love of 'your' Own Country ?

M II - Having read your three links :

I Guess it could be say that there is a Generally held
Public Christian Consciousness in the USA that reflects
our History, Culture and Values as American.

America's National Heritage is Reflected
in the Deeply Held Values of It's Citizens.

God {Allah} Bless America and All Americans - Amen ~ RHF

(OT) : DaviD - So now 'you' write and spell the word [Christian] with a KKK instead of a 'c'

DaviD 'you' Write - [KKKristian] " It's my little way

DaviD - So now 'you' are claming that Christians
are destroying the USA.

DaviD - American History is full of Christians Who's Lives
have Greatly Enriched this Nation; Creating Our Freedoms;
Building Our Democracy; Protecting Our Freedoms; Working
For a Better America; and Lifting Our Spirits . . .

DaviD - Claiming that Christians are Destroying America - Is this one
more New 2006 Daily Talking Point of the Democrat Party of the USA ?

DaviD - How very Liberal and every so Enlightened of 'you' :
Why Are 'you' promoting Religious Bigotry and Hatred Against
Christians and All Persons-of-Faith ?

DaviD 'you' Write - " You shouldn't have joined the cult. "

DaviD - The Majority of 'your' fellow Americans happen to
identify themselves as Christians in some form or fashion !
? Are They All Members of a Cult that is Destroying America ?
? Who Get To Decide Who IS In A Cult -and- Who Is Not ?

DaviD - Linking "Christians" and "Cults" - Is this too another
New 2006 Daily Talking Point of the Democrat Party of the USA ?

DaviD - Does the 2006 Writing Style Guide for the
Democrat Party of the USA now require 'you' to
spell the word [Christian] "KKKristians" ?

Question DaviD - How can 'you' Claim to be such a Champion of
American Individual Rights and Freedoms : "IF" 'you' denigrate
the majority of your fellow Americans who happen in some form or
fashion to identify themselves as Christians and Persons-of-Faith ?

I don't teach, but if I did, I'd tape some international
broadcasts and use them from time to time. Some
of the ham broadcasts from Chernobyl would be
useful in pointing out how different the reality
was from the official Radio Moscow view. Radio
Pyonyang would be useful as well as the Lincolnshire
Poacher and the Disaster Net used during Katrina
and Rita. Getting people to think beyond their
cells and Blackberries and laptops would be
useful.

Did anyone document any of that?

I know that ham broadcasts from Chernobyl were
rebroadcast on NPR; that was one of the reasons
why I started getting interested in shortwave. It
wouldn't surprise me if some SWLs had taped
some of the broadcasts of Radio Moscow at the
time, too.

I dont know if it's true or not,but about thirty years ago,I read an
article in a magazine that the Russian maps had the names of Russian
towns and cities on the maps where the cities and towns were really not
there.For instance,that nuclear plant near Chernonbyl isn't really near
Chernobly,it is really near a town of a different name.They did that to
confuse foreigners and spies.Anyway,I did read about that in a magazine.
