On second thoughts, a linguist has to think foreign while learning a foreign language, but a translator must think nothing but native while translating. Literature, I mean. Interpreters have it more tough... they must think both! 20 Nov 2009 18:50 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread4034msg189891.htm#189891 John Bunch: There have recently been a spate of movies in Germany mocking Hitler, so I think it would be o.k. BTW, interestingly, Hitler was a teetotaler (he didn't drink, except very occassionally). He hated smoking. Winston Churchill, Stalin, and also FDR drank heavily. And who won ? ;-) 20 Nov 2009 18:21 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread4034msg189883.htm#189883 Jacek K.: Musical is just about the only genre that is not my cup of tea so I am unable to comment on it. The only theater I patronized in New York was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ La_MaMa _Experimental_Theatre_Club . 20 Nov 2009 17:25 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14273msg189882.htm#189882 John Bunch: Of course. I had to leave a conservative forum once because I could not stand the anti-immigrant sentiments on that site. I ended up constantly defending Mexicans and immigrants, and I found many of the people to be real bigots. But you are right, there is real intolerance on the Left as well. I ... 20 Nov 2009 17:24 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14273msg189881.htm#189881 Ron Finney: Yes, I remember how they painted Reagan as a stupid actor. The left also believes critical discourse on their policies and leaders to be "hate speech," and their are high levels of intolerance amongst people on the far left as well as the far right. 20 Nov 2009 17:20 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14273msg189879.htm#189879 John Bunch: American novelist Tom Wolfe explains in this short TV interview, how the Left ALWAYS says that conservatives are idiots and morons. They did it with Eisenhower, and they did it with Reagan, and Bush. He calls the Left the "charming aristocracy", and they see themselves as the educated, enlightened, ... 20 Nov 2009 17:03 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread4034msg189878.htm#189878 Ron Finney: As for senators, the only one I shook hands with (apart from H.R.Clinton during one 4th of July reception in Warsaw) was J. W. Fulbright whose scholarship I once won. No wonder I am relentless... [/QUOTE] J.W. Fulbright... is he married to Madellyn? Congratulations. I had no idea what I was up ... 20 Nov 2009 17:01 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread4034msg189876.htm#189876 Ron Finney: Nanna is a woman, not to be trifled with Jacek. Consider yourself warned. Here I thought Europeans were humour-challenged. You have both proven me wrong again. Your fortitude reminds me of my wife, whose unassailable composure is unphased by my relentless barage of dazzling whiticisms. How she does ... 20 Nov 2009 16:50 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14273msg189859.htm#189859 Jacek K.: http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/11/quote-day-8 From Jon Stewart, explaining what it's like to listen to Sarah Palin: It's just a conservative boiler plate mad lib. I think that nails it. Yesterday I was thinking about how everything she says sounds like it's just plucked from the tea ... 20 Nov 2009 11:14 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread14273msg189858.htm#189858 Shiong-Fong Lew: Great! Maybe she's now onto something solid for a thesis on the causes of "blue on blue" in the battlefield. Another attempt at a degree? 20 Nov 2009 11:04 GMT
