    The Mistake is thinking that people, outsiders, brought down Bubblews.  Bubblews went down because it was a scam.  It was taken down by law.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Understanding Branding on the Tongue 7 years, 8 months ago

    In nations in which the population is virtually homogeneous, the way to delineate the classes is often done by what is called ‘Branding on the Tongue’.   This term refers to how one speaks.  The accent, the w […]

    • Language is for communication, not miscommunication and misunderstanding. Whatever the rules or conventions or grammatical structure, etc. may be … if you’re not communicating then you’re simply not speaking the same language. If people want to live together and get along, they better figure out how to talk to each other.

      For the record, why would any judge let the lawyer get away with asking the witness a stupid question like that? Why would any jury not look at the lawyer with a wary eye? Why wouldn’t the opposing attorney object? Simple. The case wasn’t about justice.

      • Having been in Court. The Prosecutor had sat, the Defence rose, and quietly asked the questions and got the answers. Why interfere? If you were giving evidence; “I was on Literacy Base at six o’clock’ and I stood up, “Is that post meridian or anti- meridian?” and you said ‘anti’ did I trick you when you confused anti with post? Nope.

        There was a case, a young man was charged with an offense. His alibia; “I went to the midnight show at the Palace…” the offence happened shortly before one… the very witness who put him on the scene had testified he was at the midnight show.

        I knew, the Court didn’t, that a ‘midnight show’ starts at 11:30

        • You said the accused was exonerated. Exonerated? That means nothing ever happened. Innocence proven all because a person couldn’t speak English properly? Suppose the poor woman couldn’t speak English. She spoke another language. Or worse, she was mute and couldn’t scream for help. I get very touchy about injustice. But especially about rape cases because almost always there usually are only 2 eye witnesses: the rapist and the victim.

          • The Rapist was found Not Guilty by the Jury. The address of Defence counsel focused on ‘consent’. Embrace, Stroll, Make Love.

            This is the cost of not speaking English. At no time did the complainant seem unfamiliar with the terms, changed them, asked them to be repeated. Her evidence is as I gave it. This is just one example… possibly the most obvious.

            • In America, if you can raise a reasonable doubt in a criminal case then the accused can be set free. I understand the Defense has to do their job. Their job is to defend the accused. The Defense did their job. But there were other responsible parties involved who had a job to do too! Seems like not everybody wasn’t doing their job. It happens a lot. Not just in your country.

    • People will use your weakness against you. In Ja. it has led to a lot of out sourcing. A lot of jobs have been filled by ex-pats because Jamaicans can’t speak English. I’m going to blog about it

    Before I joined Bub.  I understood that it couldn’t work because the ‘pay out’ was unsustainable.  They could not pay the writers as they said.  To pay 10 writers they would have to NOT pay 30 writers.

    kaylar wrote a new post, The Power of Admitting You Were Wrong 7 years, 8 months ago

    Many of you don’t see the huge mountain of admitting mistake or taking blame.   But there are people who can never admit they were wrong.  Never accept responsibility.

    Like little children, these adults blame e […]

    • That is so treu. A adult person got a healthy brain. We all got a sence that tell us between right and wrong. We cant blame some-one else if we ask for their advise. No one held a gone to any-ones head and said you must do that! Where is this guys own judgement to know right from wrong?

    • Nobody ever helps you carry the weight of your bad decisions and actions. You are solely responsible. Admitting you are wrong is very liberating. It lifts a huge burden you have been carrying all by yourself. That’s if you not only admit it, but you are genuinely sorry, you have no intentions of repeating your act, and you bend over backwards to try to fix anything broke when you screwed up!

      • The point is, if you make a mistake you say, I made it. Shows courage, strength. Many people don’t have it.

        • Totally agree with you. My point is some folks only admit it because they got caught! 🙂

          • Oh! That is a whole different Point! Yeah, you got the jelly all over your face, you admit eating the last jelly donut. Not much wiggle room there.

          • A boy I know when into the supermarket, opened a box of jelly donuts, and was about to take a bite, when security grabbed him, his hand squeeze, the jelly got on his face.

    • This is very true and in this complex world, its not easy to let go your ego and admit your own wrong doings.

      • To stand up and admit a mistake actually does boost your ego. You show your ability to take the repercussion instead of point to someone else.

    • I agree with you. People who can strongly admit their errors are stronger than those trying to evade being “persecuted.” They are cowards. We love people who sacrifices being humiliated than those who try to pretend they are infallible.

    • Very true. It takes courage for a person to admit his wrongdoing. Oftentimes, we would tell what we call “white lie” just to save our face from admitting it.

      However, even if we have told a white lie, we will still be bothered by our conscience for not speaking the truth or not admitting the lie that we have told.

      People who admits their wrongdoings are courageous and really honest people. They would rather face the ridicule, shame and punishment for telling the lie than be forever bothered by admitting a wrong done.

      And I can say that people who can do this are the people who really have God in their heart , soul and mind.

      • Some people are just cowards. And weak. They can never say… “I did this…” They can never take blame. They can blame everyone else for their failures.

    • You have to stay away from those people, because they are bone cowards. If they can’t admit their own mistakes you can’t ever trust or rely on them.

    • its lots really to say or admit you are wrong, it means you are in wise person humble and understand what human means, that was good post and really nice one thanks for sharing it with

    • wow thats nice topic and good writen post, admiting your wrong of even say yoour sorry is great and means how open mind you are and how respectful and hamble to other people, its so nice if all that people do that and really it means so peaceful life if they are all do that, good for you and for the site

    • Everything that happened in the past, happening currently in your life or will happen in the future are all attributed to you.

    • It is tough but not impossible! There are some arrogant people who never take it easy as they always tend to stick to their point. But I think If we admit our mistakes, it would lead us to be perfect in near future.
