Language

If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not meant, then what ought to be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and arts will deteriorate; if morals and arts deteriorate, justice will go astray; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence, there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.

Doesn't it make you think?

Generic....what the @"£$$?

There's a new fad in town...its the generic version of pretty much anything these days. Ever noticed the way you walk into a pharmacy and ask to buy some type of medication and the attendant asks, "Do you want the real version or the generic brand?!?!!!" aaaaaaarggggh! If i wanted the generic version would I not have asked for it?
This seems to have crossed over into the music industry....the other day I had the fortune or misfortune of watching 'Iris'. If you're a music buff, then you know what I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong, Iris is top of my list for all time favourite songs but this version of Iris left me a bit unsettled...
its the version by some chap called Ronan or Rowan or Rohan Keatin....its so annoying coz the video is about him on some horse just horsing around...
Dude, there's a reason THE GOO GOO DOLLS won awards with that song....has originality just popped right outta the window? someone please help me out there...
