8 years ago+12 12 0What is something typical of your country/region, but not too widely known outside of it? People must try to guess the country/region in the replies.
Just say something that your country or region has that is typical, it can be a dish, an attitude, a known personality, certain product, whatever, but that is not necessarily widely known all over the world, but don't name the place. In replies, people must try to guess the place you meant.
You don't have to actually be from the place or live there, if you know it well enough to name such a thing, that's fine.

8 years ago+8 8 0Should a public personality be allowed to make jokes with impunity about disadvantaged people?
A trial is starting where I live about an man with a physical handicap who sang for the pope Benedict XVI about 10 years ago. A local humorist, known for his hardcore jokes about everything, everyone and anything, has made jokes about him saying he sang for a pedophile and his deformed head looks like a sub-woofer. The young man, now 18, said each time a show from said humorist took place somewhere, he received insults and threats, to the point of contemplating suicide.
So my question is this : the humorist didn't ask anyone to say or do hateful things to the young handicapped man, but he did laugh at him profusely. Should the principle of free speech protect everything he or anyone might say, even when it has such grave consequences?
