Care to teach us some compassion? -g- #reply-9033614 You know, I know 4 languages, 3 of them I can fluently read and write as well. If one has to kill someone and let him know before killing, there is no different way to say in Telugu, Hindi or Tamil than to say, "I will kill you!" The funny thing about English language is that you can say with politeness "I am afraid I am going to have to kill you." And you don't have to be extremely good at English to be polite at the same time being an ass-hole. I think you are good at such English. In fact pretty good. However, a person who is on the receiving end of such "compassionate" English can see things differently. A few people perhaps still see the politeness, where as, most of us here see the death threat also. My point being - I can write such English as well. How dare I write an impolite note when it really costs me nothing to be polite! -g-
