Originally "love", not "like", although used in a similar sense. I was surprised to see this referred to as a Mother Goose rhyme. I knew it more as Non amo te, Sabidi, from Martial. What was my point?
Is he an "illusionist"? You don't actually see him enter or exit the machine. Is that an actual machine, or is it just a large monitor? Smacks of fake.
Not sure what the caste system has to do with this. That's like bringing up racism while talking about Hummers.
I was just pointing out that what seems tacky to you and me could actually be not so tacky to other cultures. Maybe it's the Indian version of Donald Trump's toupee - don't look at it or you'll lose your job - but I bet his gold shirt will get him exactly what he wants.
And it's not painting a billion people with a broad brush, Miss C. One can say that Canadians like hockey without meaning that every single Canadian actually likes hockey.
Culturally ignorant comments. Ostentatious display of wealth is what it's all about. Indians are very impressed by gold, the more yellow the better. Families tie up their fortunes in gold, and not in the banks.
How do you read a book by listening to it? That's quite the opposite thing. You could stretch it a little further and say you read The Lord of the Rings by watching the movies.
No, Oly, you're doijng a far better thing than Martin Luther King Jr ever did. You're whining about a cartoon design on the internet. How can everything he ever did in his life compare to that? Symbols in themselves have no power. They only reflect what we put into them. The Confederate flag has nowhere near the connotations we've assigned to the swastika. For me, I think of it more as a symbol of insularity, and not of hatred.
Gotta love how they write the explanations. Translation: We made the floor all wavy, and made it look like a big crystal thingie was sticking out in the middle.
