  • It’s typical of the way he speaks coming from a salesman and promoter background. He says a lot that can’t be argued with because there’s really nothing there to argue. He also has a confidence and structure around the words that allows people to read things into what he’s saying. People supporting him will see him as saying what they believe and people against him will see him saying the opposite of what they believe. In reality, he didn’t say anything of substance, but he managed to get both sides worked up. It’s very fascinating to see both supporters and opposers get so emotional over things being said that have absolutely no substance. It’s a great study in tribalism, group think, and general psychology.










  • There are a lot of different British and American accents, depending on which part of the country they’re from. Some sound much better than others. I don’t know much about Australian accents. Is there just one, or many different ones depending on their location?

    I remember trying to watch Mad Max a long time ago. I didn’t make it very far in the movie because I couldn’t understand what they were saying most of the time. I find most American and British accents easier to understand, although there are a few that are harder.
