No, no, let's do it one word at a time
- No, not "damburger", hamburger ! - I didn't say damburger...
... I said "I would like to buy a damburger".
- We can stop a moment. - No give up ! We don't give up ! Again, again !
Sorry for the coming rhymes, I did my best not to lose them in translation.
Was it good ? Did you laugh alright ? Yes, I'm talking to you, right ?
Admit it, you laughed, You gave in...you mocked...
But did it serve a purpose ? Was it of any use ?
Here, we are of course laughing about a movie, But how would it be in reality ?
Ask yourself if it was useful and, Ask yourself why you laughed,
Ask yourself where is your mercy, Ask yourself, if, only...
Because you gave in to an easy feeling, I won't blame you, it's quite normal,
It's almost humour, after all. But what if it wasn't ? What if it was cretin ?
Think a bit, there ! Do you think it is this funny ?
For the ones who were, Playing the roles of the victims ?
Must we mock the one whom tries ? Must we mock the one whom stutters ?
Must we mock the one whom experiments, opens, discovers and wonders ?
Can we mock the one whom attempts ? Can we mock the one whom fails ?
Can we mock the one whom voluntarily does, opens himself, half-opens, gropes for things and give himself ?
Do you want to condamn these peers ? Do you really want to quickly judge these pioneers...
Instead of congratulating them for trying ?
Do we want to lock them in this role ? Do we really want to neglect what they bring ?
Don't we need those people who matter, To ascend ourselves higher than the ground ?
Do they deserve this ? And who does ? Of all my life, and even during my jobs,
I've never seen someone who's so bad ! There's room for progress, especially when we come for far !
No one is as dumb as you think, So don't let anyone ridiculing you.
Who can say "What you do isn't important" ? Because, I tell you, without any sentiment :
To come forward is already impressing, To bring down is pretty declining.
Who's that ass we joke about, To justify our idiocy ?
Who's that we, we wave, To hide behind it ?
Who are we to decide who we can mock ? Is it stronger than us ?
Next time, ask yourself : Was it really worth it ?
Was it really so funny, Or was it close of bad taste ?
Ask yourself if you'd like, Ask yourself if you'd appreciate...
If in the same situation you'd be. But, above all, before acting, think !
Thank you all for watching this little video on mockery, I just hope it didn't look like rap,
It wasn't the idea, I've got nothing against rap, but the point was to make a strong enough speech on the subject
Because, in the idea, I'd like, in the future, make viewers participate by asking them to
Pronounce words, in english, by sending me audio files, and I'd like to avoid any mockery on their
Backs, during these videos.
Because I've already seen commentaries that are a bit too mocking on Youtube or even on my channel.
And I know that it is a bit intimidating, at first, to come forward facing people like this.
But this video also concerns them, since it is indeed really easier to attack
A person instead of attacking what the person says.
And we shoud try to tend more towards constructive criticism of the content instead of criticising people
Because this brings nothing.
Of course, the idea is not to stop laughing all the way. Of course we can laugh, and even laugh without mocking.
But, the hardest is to find the limit between humour and mockery.
I can remember a time when I had a student that said the famous sentence "Brian is in the kitchen",
In the following manner : "Brian is in the chicken".
And, I admit, I laughed, but did I mock her for all that ? I don't think so.
Because, what I laughed about was not the mistake in itself, it wasn't that that made me laugh.
I laughed of the sense that the mistake produced. To say, I just imagined Brian with a chicken
On his head, and I cracked up. Well, of course, now, it's not making me laughing anymore since I told the story
So many times, so...
On the other hand, when one of my students says something completely incomprehensible, I don't see why
I would laugh, the poor kid is already having a hard time expressing himself
Laughing wouldn't bring anything to me, but he would be blocked in the future.
I'm a teacher, so I'm not supposed to do it, but even if I wasn't, this doesn't bring anything to anyone.
In french, we don't ask ourselves this question, when we do a slip of the tongue, everyone laughs,
And we aren't laughing because that guy can't speak french, we know that he knows how to speak french.
But, we laugh of the sense produced by the slip. And that's what makes me think that we shoud sometimes
Explain why we laugh about it, why it is funny and why it's not mockery.
Maybe it could change things a bit, so, let's try to avoid basic mockery.
I hope you appreciated this video, you still can share it on the mockers' pages.
To that end, you can still use Facebook, or even Twitter, it's not because I can't use it that
I'm against.
You also can give a green thumb, and, for the red one, I remind you of this little tip : Alt+F4
Nothing simpler. Next time, we are going to enter in the subject, we're done with intrductions.
We're going to start softly to enter in the world of phonetics.
So, I'm telling you see you another time to see how to correctly speak english, even if everyone
Doesn't speak like that and that it depends of the area, social class and many other things.
