One of my funnies stories with the English language happened on my first visit to UK.
I had lot of native speaker around me, and every time I said thank you they said “you welcome” The fist month I thought that they were very friendly and kind I really enjoyed been welcoming all the time.
The second month they kept saying “you welcome” to me all the time, and I started to wonder why they were still welcoming me; I had been there for a month. I thought that it was a cultural difference.
The third month arrived and one day when one of my friend bought me a coke and when I thanked him he said “you welcome” I looked at him very crossed and said:
- “ Well, I do not understand you, you treat me like a real friend but after three months here you still welcome me nearly everyday as I have just arrived and it makes me feel very bad because reminds me that I am still a foreigner for you, not a real friend!”
I am sure that you can imagine my poor friend’s face.

INTERNET
Nowadays people are worried about:
How to control what is posted in Internet??
How to control what is downloaded from Internet??
How to control the quality of what is posted in Internet??
Well in my opinion this is a wrong approach to the topic, we should not pretend to “control” it. What is the point on controlling?? Wouldn’t it be much better to enjoy it and use it as a free platform??
The best feature of Internet is its freedom. Why will we want to control them?
Stop controlling and star enjoying the diversity and let it to enrich you with its variety.

Winthrop -- Obama
Winthrop and Obama have a lot to offer to the people of their times.
Both of them have a view on their minds of the society that they want.
Both of them have the power to communicate their ideas to the rest of the people.
And both of them are leaders so people follow them.
The main different between them is that Winthrop wanted to change the society in the 17th century and Obama wants to do it in the 21st century.
