A curious gaff I made some years ago talking to a Scotsman, I said imagine if James the first had centralised the seat of power of the union in Edinburgh... Then RP would probably sound scotish and it is the southerners who would sound like morons... Um... :blush:

I've never actually been "into" them in the way some folks are. To me, it's just a device for making calls. The first one I got was so the folks could keep in touch more easily with me when I was at university.

Nah, never really "into" them myself, was a bit a gimmick when I was 16 as that's when they started appearing, but now it's just ridiculous.

THe OP was actually thinking of Public Education...

Can't get much redder than that.  Government takes your money puts kids in schools based on their ages rather than abilities and teaches them that there are only certain answers to questions...

Quote from: AmigaHeretic;594192
Ha ha!  Actually it is very, very much the opposite.  It's "Public" in that people donate to get what "they" want broadcast. Which usually is clean shows for children, sitcoms that are made for people that don't drool on themselves, etc.

Not "Public", as in Red as you suggest, where the government takes your money, then provides you with "Public TV" or something or requires you to pay.

Also, even more away from socialism by the fact that most funding for public TV actually comes from corporate donations.  There are some government agencies that donate (like the National Science Foundation) and funding also comes from viewers that donate money directly.
