Even in the medieval period, they have enjoyed avidly the bad side of using this language. Like other countries that have their own languages too, local dialect is first learned at home and then academic second. Don't say that Shakespeare or Thomas Malory have never said "damn" or "curse you" which is equivalent to "shit or bitch" nowadays. They do said these words too because they are humans. They are only humans but STILL, it depends on how language is being used. In a fast changing world with millions of trends to choose from, and with evolving arts made out language like songs, yah before there were sonnets, and to purchase one you need to travel from New York to Manchester because rare cuts and hard to find books are found in England. Now we don't have sonnets anymore because they were already replaced by Sir Paul McCartney followed by the league of smooth contemporary jazz, rnb, pop, rock, slow rock, love songs, rap even dance! of course save the best for last guys because it's a hard no without itunes. can't download without Itunes on PC. can a typewriter have Itunes on it? but with all these things made out of language... Are you still going to bang and close your door for these wonderful changes? It's up to you, It's up to me It's up to us. Whether we're gonna use language to hurt others. Animals can't talk, people can, so let's not be animals, learn use and make money out of English language who knows maybe language is the key to fight recession.Jack Johnsonhttp://www.electroniccigaretteweb.com/customer-ratings/blucigs-customer-reviews/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12596769.post-9812764429640382862008-03-10T09:26:00.000-07:002008-03-10T09:26:00.000-07:00Yes Rob, Please post on what Max brought up.

Funny thing, California's compulsory schooling law is so bad, so limiting, that the state court of appeals might just have interepreted that law correctly!<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your take on it.

The latest is from California:<BR/><BR/>Home-Schooling, Charter Schools Under Attack In California<BR/><BR/>In a ruling of unprecedented scope, parents of some 166,000 children may face criminal charges for failing to "comply with school enrollment laws".<BR/><BR/>Justice H. Walt Croskey, whose opinion was joined by two other judges, then ordered: "Parents who fail to [comply with school enrollment laws] may be subject to a criminal complaint against them, found guilty of an infraction and subject to imposition of fines or an order to complete a parent education and counseling program."<BR/><BR/>The determination reversed a decision from Superior Court Judge Stephen Marpet, who ruled "parents have a constitutional right to school their children in their own home."<BR/><BR/>Croskey, without hearing arguments from the school, opined that the situation was a "ruse of enrolling [children] in a private school and then letting them stay home and be taught by a non-credentialed parent."<BR/><BR/>Specifically, the appeals court affirmed, the trial court had found that "keeping the children at home deprived them of situations where (1) they could interact with people outside the family, (2) there are people who could provide help if something is amiss in the children's lives, and (3) they could develop emotionally in a broader world than the parents' 'cloistered' setting."<BR/><BR/>Further, the appeals ruling said, California law requires "persons between the ages of six and 18" to be in school, "the public full-time day school," with exemptions allowed only for those in a "private full-time day school" or those "instructed by a tutor who holds a valid state teaching credential for the grade being taught."<BR/><BR/>Look for this to go on to further appeal, as the ruling appears to trample upon the rights of citizens to raise and to educate their children in a manner appropriate to their beliefs. If, by forcing children to be enrolled in public schools which inculcate at very early ages doctrines that are incompatible with the beliefs of the parents, the State is clearly in violation or the separation of church and state clause.<BR/><BR/>If parents do not subscribe to pro-homosexuality, "global warming". or other popular agendas promoted heavily in public school environments, it seems clear that by forcing parents to immerse their children into an environment of such theology - at gunpoint - then the state is attempting to establish a religion.<BR/><BR/>Although consistently couched in terms of "nurturing", such rulings promulgate the concept that only the state is capable of determining the sort of nurturing that should be made available to children. This is antithical to the fundamental concepts of freedom and representative government, and illustrative of the salient point of the ground-breaking novel, "1984":<BR/><BR/>Whoever controls the past controls the future. Whoever controls the present controls the past.MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.com
