It is necessary to expose the false propaganda of the imperialists and thoroughly dispel the illusion that the imperialists will give up their positions in the colonies and dependent countries with good will. It is wrong to try to avoid the struggle against imperialism under the pretext that independence and revolution are important, but that peace is still more precious. The oppressed peoples can liberate themselves only through struggle. This is a simple and clear truth confirmed by history.

How many people have brought this up so far? I am guilty of it though.

Add a poll maybe.

I say Day-Tah, just like the android on Star Trek: TNG. You know what, I'm surprised no one has made a picture of Commander Data, holding a Droid phone by now.

And I've heard both, and I'm from Spain. It really depends on the speaker. Some choose to say 'Mi nombre es' and others choose to say 'Me llamo'.

About me
I may be young, and that's okay. Since age does not always bring wisdom. I may be stubborn to the point of stupidity; but at least I fight for my beliefs. I may be fooled by a lie; but I can then say I trusted. My heart may get broken however, then I can say I truly loved. With all this said I have lived. :D

I'm politically syncretic so stop asking. :)
