Flood Story from Around the World

There is really interesting stuff here about the the ancient legends of the global flood and how language came about. First, there is some information regarding the creation of the earth. Just sit through it until you get to the flood and language part. The speaker here, Billy Crone, talks really fast so hang on to your seat....

Are These People Speaking English?

This is a combination of 'say what' and 'guess what they are talking about' post. The subject is rather serious, and I don't make light of it. What tickled me was the way the reporter Dwayne Mcleod who wrote this article quoted people he interviewed. He held tight to the rule of accurate quoting. Read on to see if you can figure it out . . .

"Yu nuh si seh dem waa mash up di place an gi wi bad name, me haffi protect my yute dem from dem type a influence deh," one resident said while pointing out that they will not sit back and watch while their community falls into disrepute.

"Yu si dem bway deh weh a walk up an dung inna dem tight pants an ah bleach out dem face, a dem enuh, nuff a dem a f .... t an a talk bout dem a danca," he told THE STAR.

"... a nuh joke ting eno, one a dem cut out since week, him not even wait pon di last day, him jus cut, nobady not even kno weh him gone," THE STAR was told by a resident.

"Mi nuh know how dem come an a gwaan like seh dem tink a farin dem deh, dem tink seh dem can come inna gangsta town wid dem wrong up behaviour an nuttin nuh happen? Dem haffi leave, anyting a anyting," one obviously angry male said.

This is not a subject I normally seek out in the media, so it is odd that I found it in the first place.
