Free choice to speak Welsh

South Wales Evening Post

HERE we go again! Another crop of what I can only describe as anti-Welsh letters.

On Monday September 3, we had M Rees bemoaning the fact that Welsh is being 'foisted' on us and that soon we may even have to have medical treatment in Welsh. The only language that has ever been 'foisted' in Wales is, of course, English. The present policy of bilingualism is the correct one. It gives each language respect in society and leaves the user with free choice as to which one he or she uses. Next, V Collier (Have Your Say, Tuesday September 4) says we are wasting money, are inward looking and should be 'international', we've heard all this many times before. Welsh parents are so weak that they allow themselves to be 'frightened' into giving their children a Welsh-medium education!

Lastly, dear old K Clements chimes in with the claim that the £433 million spent by the Assembly on carbon-saving schemes has only resulted in creating 1,400 new jobs! I would suggest that the main aim of the exercise was to reduce carbon emissions. The jobs created are a bonus. It's a pity that we can't pull together and make Wales a better place for all instead of re-fighting battles that in their case have been lost.

    “Yes MAX- A-MORON you are one of many small minded idiots who are in the minority in Wales. Certainly not in the majority.your kind have lost the argument a long time ago! On the welsh language and who runs Wales its sad that people like you still have this small minded little Englander attitude you people are like dinosaurs and like them you will become Extinct very soon. And on myself using foul language I would like to point out to you what foul language? if I really wrote what I think of scum like you it wouldn't get printed. But here's a word that sums you up perfectly in my mind its! cretin which in the dictionary reads cretin [kréttin]
    (plural cretins)
    n
    1. an offensive term for somebody considered unintelligent (insult)
    it sums up what I think of an imbecile like you perfectly. ;)”

    “Poor old muckywind even loses an argument with himself. Have a look at his last sentence, well what passes for sentence, according to him I am one of many and at the same time in the minority! So a sort of many minority then?

    Dear old muckywind what would we do without you to brighten up our day!”

    “oor old Muckywind still can't string together a coherent sentence! Why do you feel the need to be constantly abusing and using foul language all the time? Was someone unkind to your teddybear when you were a child - which mentally wasn't all that long ago.

    Do you honestly think that your foul mouthed rants actually attract anyone to your cause? I remember someone once asking a very clever man which side of a particular argument he was on. The man replied, " I know nothing of the argument but I would oppose any stance taken by a foul mouthed imbecile like Mr Jennings".

    Spooky eh? He must have been thinking of you!”

    “Maxmin yet again you are speaking out of that orifices called your ****, which in your case you call your mouth. the only reason I replied to you moron was because you called me a racist. Which is so ridiculous I had to laugh you are lucky I didn't report you! Instead I spoke my mind and told you what I though of you which isn't much. I see .maxmin Like most coward you hide behind a computers spouting BS! The only people who agree with your views are old thick moronic old dinosaurs. you are also way of the mark if you think everyone is against me far from it.. Most people agree with me It seems its your small mind that's got the problem its because of that waste of space! Between your ears or should I say lack of any brain!. Like I said I couldn't give a care in the world what you think you are irrelevant in today's Wales!. I will still be around when you are six feet under! When the assembly becomes a parliament which it will! and one day in the near future Wales becomes an independent nation. Because Pandora's box has been opened .You see it's the young people who are the future of Wales not bitter old men which you are one of many. So get used to it pal because you are in the minority.”

    “Muckywind you are so wound up in your hatred of anything English you are starting to repeat yourself. You have just posted the same obscene comment twice!
    You say you don't hate the English and offer as proof that you have an English wife, yet persist with the fallacy that I hate the Welsh even though the greater part of my family is Welsh. How does that work?
    I really think you need help, you seem incapable of acting anything like approaching a normal adult with your constant barrage of foul mouthed language and obscene rhetoric.
    You live in this fantasy world where everyone is against you - I believe the correct term for that is paranoia. Will you ever understand that people who share my views are not attacking the Welsh language - we are completely indifferent to it. Speak it - don't speak it- write it - don't write it, it is absolutely no interest to us.
    However if you are the prime example of someone who professes to love his country and it's language then I really pity Wales.
    Mind you I can see why you hate English so much. Your abysmal attempts at writing coherent English would be amusing - in a five year old, but unfortunately in an adult, and I use the word cautiously, are pitiful.
    I think it is time you had another session with Dr Kopfbanger.”

    “Maxmin you moron I'm no racist you small minded ********!.I would like to know when I said in any post that I don't like England or the English language I'm pro-welsh and have only spoken out against moronic idiots like you.people who attack the welsh language. which makes your comments sound so ridiculous being that I have said in the past that half my families English Doh! but why let facts get in the way of your small minded fiction and stupid comments. It just shows what a complete ass-hole you really are just another a right wing fanatic on the. Slightly insane right wing lunatic fringe of society and maxmin keep talking those tablets mate Those penis enlargement pills you took must be working. You're a bigger dick now than you were last week.”
