Tolerance


Do you actually think that English is a more rational language? (Why English? #1) I can cite numerous examples of bigotry, intolerance, jingoism, even fascism, expressed every day in the English language all over the world, and not always by those for whom it is a first language. For that matter, you find the same in German, French, Dutch or Russian.

Saying that intemperate, emotional language is only possible in your mother tongue is like saying you have a monopoly on chauvinism and narrow-mindedness. Virulent prejudice can be written and spoken in any language, it is not a specialty of Nepali. Stop bragging.
