    1. yeeeeah
      was sure that there's some hint hidden))))

      unfortunately, people tend to be like
      news: STUDENTS REQUIRE CHEKING WHETHER THE QUIZ CORRESPONDS WITH THE COURSE
      reaction: OH GOD
      THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS
      news: Widower kills man-eating crocodile
      reaction: ERM IS IT LEGAL TO KILL AN ANIMAL LIVING IN ITS NATURAL SURROUNDING

    2. You ascribe to me thoughts and feelings that I never had) Actually, I sympathize with the students and believe the beast deserved killing)

    3. well, taking into account, that you teach a press aspect - how to get information from the articles, how to analyze it, how to find whether the author is prejudiced or not - this doesn't surprise me much)) but sometimes ppl's reaction to several news is hilarious, esp when there's some constrast intended... maybe they are eager to be drown into misunderstandings; makes life easier))
      that's offtop already, right xD

    4. Thanks for your feedback sr-asuncion. I feel I must explain myself. I meant a very general comparison between indigenous people and so-called civilized ones. The simple life style of the former makes them ingenuous which I find appealing. Their problems are basic ones. Our life, by contrast, is full of fuss and minor problems that we mostly create ourselves. No other implications)))
      By the way, I've just read a news story about an Oregon farmer devoured by his pigs (you can easily google it). I wonder if the relatives will take revenge
