Well, do they teach you that at the communism classes in school? Building the golden age of communism in China? I'm asking because until 15 years ago in Romania at TV, in books, at schools, it was all about "building the socialism on the highest peaks of progress", and other thing like that. Sounds like you. (don't take it as an offence, is not my intention).Quote:

I never said anything about saving the world. I was talking about "building the socialism on the highest peaks of progress". :D Different things, I guess... ;)
But I thought you are Iranian, not Chinese... :confused:Quote:

Never mind, che_rish. Austria is where the kangoroos come from, heb Deniz my Aussie colegue.
And well, I thought calling an Inuit "Eskimo" is unpolite... but hey, that's the way it go-go-goes...
Anyway, you chinese folks are great: You had font and gunpowder long before we had. Because you never went through Inquisation... The world is flat... :rolleyes:
You guys revolutioned science... :thumb:
I just can't understand why chinese writing is so inefficiently designed? Poor Japanese also got this disease... In the last case it's 2 syllable alphabets, modifiers and thousands of hieroglyphs. How long do you learn "alphabet" and basics of writing?
I heard that a chinese/japanese Kid must at least be 16 before she/he can read the local newspaper.Quote:

Of course there were a few "scholars" promulgating the idea of a flat earth, but they were paid little heed.Quote:

Anyway, russian alphabet is as simple as latin and written words pronounced relatively literally (to about the same extent as german words)...
That's how it works. No different from what was here. It just looks this way while you live within the system. You may not notice, but it's never-stoping propaganda. And it make you think the way you do. It successfully affects most of the population. But once you're out, you can see how unnatural it was.Quote:
