Site Update

As you may have noticed I wasn’t posting much recently. It is because I had to spend my time dealing with technical issues and moving the blog to a different computer. On the plus side it should be loading faster now.

Hopefully I will be able to post more real content in the near future.

Wisdom.

Freedom of Speech

I grew up in a communist country where we have, perhaps mistakenly, thought that the difference between communist dictatorships and the western democracies was that in a free and democratic society “freedom of speech” meant that you still had your freedom after you have delivered the speech.

The sad thing is that people seem to be giving up this fundamental right willingly after their ancestors have fought revolutions and wars to have it.

Further Readings:

Freedom of speech on Wikipedia.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Hanzi for Language.

Have Your Cake and Eat It Too

The English language seems to have won the war, and it has become the lingua franca of the entire world.

So after successfully convincing the world that everyone has to speak English why do British people mistakenly think that they still somehow own the English language?

Success can be its own punishment.
