None, taken. Just hard to concentrate on the subtitles if you`re understanding the language and the text is not the same as the written.

The movie this is from is called "Downfall." If you're up for a fantastic historical drama, check it out.

Great find Dwayne! This will definately make the rounds of the station.

-10 to Dwayne for his cultural insensitivity. lol

Speaking of which, I have to go to cultural awareness training!! Can you believe that??

I was addressing the fact that most of the patients here, Papuans/Morobians/Islanders, are relatively hypertensive. I said, "I have a feeling that the cause of this is going to turn out to be relative dehydration, but we should try and identify it as hypertension is a more significant risk factor in the black population."

My supervisor said, "Ohhhh....we don't use 'black' here, we say 'locals'." I said, "But I wasn't referring to the local population, but the the global population of blacks that share this trait. What term should I use when race specific issues need to be addressed?" He said, "I don't know, but just don't say black." and then friggin' scheduled me for cultural sensitivity training....

I don't know who is more sensitive than I am.. I go barefoot and talk about 'energy' and crap like that...that should speak for itself I think....
