Classical Chinese
Hi. I'm afraid I'm not that good with computers - I reached my formative years just before the ZX80 came out - so I don't actually know what MSNM is short for, or where exactly I'd find your email address! If you're interested in Classical and spoken Chinese I should be able to give you some pointers. My email is liamdarcybrown@hotmail.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomtom08 (talk • contribs) 14:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing you can add me, haomin at erpz dot net. Миборовский 19:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

My thoughts
Lol I never knew someone had left a messsage there. About the Middle East - first of all, Lebanon is an exception - the christians there constitute a large majority and too much for sharia law or persecution of christianity to occur.

It is however a fact that Churches and priests are bombed and killed in Northern Iraq, notably the Assyrian christians.

As for Israel, when I meant the Middle East I meant the Arab nations that dominate it. In Egypt a priest will be arrested if he repairs a toilet in his church without asking government permission. In Egypt also:


 * It takes 35 years and government permission to build a church.
 * A medical exam requires 75% for Muslims to pass and 99.9% for Christians to pass.
 * Christians are 10% of Egypts population and therefore 10% of tax income. However, they recieve only 2 hours of TV for themselves, one hour for Christmass and one hour for Easter

In Iraq it is much worse:

Before the 20th century, Christians were 15% of the population. Today they are less than 3%. Why? Persecutions initiate diasporas.

In Saudi Arabia, all religions except Islam is banned. Non-muslims are tortured if they speak of practicing their religion and police will break up religious meetings. Foreign workers are an exception who can pray in private but the government there tries to hide this so that they appear to be completely Islamic.

In Saudi Arabia, non-muslims are not allowed into Mecca - theres an image of this hereSaudi Arabia if you click on Human Rights.

So you see, the Middle East (with the exception of Lebanon and Israel) has a long way to go.

Respectfully

 * Hey thats cool ur Jewish. Assyrians and Jews, for all their ancient aminosities have many things in common. Now I see why you wish to speak aramaic. Good day to you. See you guys say Shalom. In Surid (language Assyrians say they speak) we say Shlama. Tourskin 01:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Learning Aramaic
Hey there. Thanks for calling me nice! Unfortunately I cannot help you with this for a number of complex reasons. Suffice to say I cannot read or write it and my dialect is somewhat different from many others, the reason being a lack of integration among aramaic speaking peoples. The language Aramaic can vary. Thanks for the request it feels like a compliment but sorry anyway. Tourskin 01:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry, this fell off my radar. What is it you need? Stifle (talk) 23:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Go raibh maith arat for agreeing to help me. What I need is someone to speak to, translate words I don't know, explain grammar, &c. I'd be most grateful if you'd help me. Siúnrá (talk) 14:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'll email you my MSN Messenger address. Stifle (talk) 18:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Still interested in Aramaic?
Sorry it took me 3 months to answer your request about learning Aramaic, but I was some kind of a nomad in that period. Anyway if you're still interested in learning Aramaic I can help you there, I can give you a hand there... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravi84m (talk • contribs) 02:45, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm a little busy, but if you can give me some moderate help, it would be nice. What I really want to know first is, why do so many Aramaic nouns end with an alef (Shunra, al'a, alaha, raba...)? Siúnrá (talk) 10:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The Olaf in Syriac comes usualy at the end of a singular noun, as in the words Nasha, Alaha, If you want the plural form then you'd simply add a Yuth at the end of a noun... So you would say Nashe, Alahe. Just think of it as the Arabic "علامة رفع الاسم المفرد". By the way most Olaf vowls are pronounced as Waw in the eastern Syriac dialect, so the previous words would sound like Nosho and Aloho, although they are spelled the same way.Ravi84m (talk) 01:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Referring to the "not sure" list of countries
Dear user White Cat, i've noticed that on your userpage you have a list of countries that u're "not sure" if u want to visit them. Assuming that the list was compiled on the basis of personal and general safety to the tourist, i want to recommend to you to drop at least 4 of the 12 countries that are listed there

The countries that i'm talking about are Israel, Cuba, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. these countries are recommended by me to be dropped because i know for a fact on at least two of them, that these countries are not dangerous for tourists and are actually very pleasent to be toured. Please consider my recommendation --Oren neu dag (talk) 22:06, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure you're aware of this, but any religion besides Islam is prohibited in Saudi Arabia. If you want to perform your religion's rituals, you must do it in your own home in complete privacy (that is allowed), or you'll be considered as a moral corruptor. Siúnrá (talk) 11:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I placed these countries under "not sure to go" under the basis of my preference to travel not safety. I am not saying I wont go there, all I am saying is they are not high on priority in my list to go. For example if there is a wikimania in one of those countries, I would go without a second thought. -- Cat chi? 17:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I think the White Cat is not a real person, but a group of people. Like Shakespeare. Siúnrá (talk) 11:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

MSNM
Sorry, but I don't even know what MSNM is. --Checco (talk) 11:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I understand. Sorry, but I don't use such things. If you want you can find me here in Wikipedia. --Checco (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

No legal threats
I removed your comment you posted on 's talk page. While I understand the frustration of vandalism, the best way to communicate with vandals is using the template or others found at WP:WARN. Not only was your response not WP:Civil but more importantly you risk your status as an editor by making legal threats -- this is seriously considered at Wikipedia -- please read No legal threats. Thanks! &#8756; Therefore cogito·sum 17:48, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn’t know there was such a template... I thought an aggressive approach would be more effective, plus I didn’t know how to use that template. I didn’t make any threat that the template itself didn’t make (you do sue for vandalism, don’t you? At least in Israel they do...). Siúnrá (talk) 10:52, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
