Language education? Whenever I am in Japan, being Canadian, the little English being spoken there sounds very much like 18th century Old English from England. There is little relation to the English we actually speak in North America. Japanese English as taught in schools can be very difficult to understand. My wife is Japanese and the change from Japanese taught English to English English is on going and can be very trying for her. When she says somethings in Japanese English I have no idea what she is talking about and after we figure out what she is trying to say and I repeat her comments in our English, then she changes her words to something more in line with her thoughts and then I can understand her.
There is no practicality to the English currently being studies to death by the poor kids over there.

AHH Bono, can't sing to well, however some nuts kind of like him...now he thinks he has god's answer to all of man kind's problems...some fools even listen to him. Maybe we just need to put our priorities in order and look after earth and the people first, get rid of dictators and those who share the financial greed ideals. Pick up the pieces and move on.
Posted in: Based on how well they are keeping their Africa promises, some nations have been really dragging down the G-8 as a whole, questioning the relevance of this group. The irony of their collective increasing impotence is that we have never more needed bold leadership on the big issues of our time.

Her beauty attracts and is only there for a while. Her inner beauty is life long. That is why some very old women are more beautiful than very young beauty contestants.

back whenever...my dad worked. on fridays he gave my mom her weekly salary. moms job was to keep everything at home in great shape so my dad could work. Dad always thought moms work at home was just as valuable as his work outside the home. mom always thought her work at home was just as important as her husbands. they were married for 56 years and were frequently noisy in bed late at night well into their 70's. ( not arguing either). today if a partner looks at you the wrong way, one or the other runs away and looks for something new to eventually run away from. this makes for a very lonesome old age when there is no one left to run away from and no one your able to run to..
