Charlie Chaplin final speech in The Great Dictator

This dispatch is not just for entertainment.  I remember to have seen umpteen number of Chaplin's movie s which are all silent.  Exception: the following.  This is a remarkable piece of his works to be preserved as a document.


The genius of Chaplin. Back in the 40's, critics thought his message came straight from a pipe dream.
Today, we can say that these critics were living in a pipe dream of their own.
His message is clear and its something we all want. Let's not forget to "fight" for it.
He did not blink his eyes during speech and siad
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor - that's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone,
 if possible -- Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another;
human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, ......."

His speech made me awake of what is going on right now. This man is unbelievable.

It's amazing how strong this speech is. It's been decades, and it is as strong as ever.

I find it scary and ironic, that this was made so many years ago but applies today more than ever.

National barriers cannot facilitate governance, they only interrupt the natural flow of life, of which people are inescapably a part of.

They facilitate capitalist interests and you're right, the EU, the African Union, the emerging Pacific Union and the coming American Union- are examples of how the few elite ARE
taking over the world. Barriers in any form, make possible the hoarding of resources, and as a byproduct, determine who is "free", and who is not.

borders of nations that we created are not natural. This is a human act onto things to separate us from the rest.
There is always a misconception about politicians and governments. They are not your leaders they are your servants, they are there to manage our affairs.

How I wish everyone would be born blind in this world. So that we won't be able to see our differences. We won't be mesmerized by sparkling things.
And we would live with the help of one another in a world of darkness where there is hope.
Human beings are born perfect. The only thing that make us imperfect are these judgmental eyes that we have.

for ever this speech will be simple and clear .. .. He choosed to speak after 10 years, in 1940, but today we have to choose

Very moving... from someone that live life in the movies, using laughter to bring joy to everyone.

give anyone else chills ? Something about the reckless passion of his appeal went far under the skin, what a timeless performance.

still applicable and just as beautiful today- amazing

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh

Weird Inventions Made by the Chinese

China doesn’t always copy useful and popular world’s inventions. Local people also invent stuff themselves. Take a look.   A local farmer Li Yuming works on his unfinished miniature submarine Xiaguang V, which is 3-metre long, 1.2-metre in height, has a maximum diving depth of 20 metres, and can hold two adults and one child at the same time. A child rides a specially constructed ice-chair on the frozen Houhai Lake in Beijing. Farmer Wu Yulu, 48, rides in a cart pulled by his walking robot. Hobby inventor Wu, who started to build robots in 1986, has invented 47 robots with different functions like jump, paint, drink, pull cart, massage, and help cooking. Chinese farmer Yang Youde pushes his homemade cannon. Yang's cannon, which is made out of a wheelbarrow, pipes and firing rockets, is used to defend his fields against property developers who wants his land. Gao Hanjie installs the rotor blades on his homemade helicopter, which is 6-meter

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night. The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late." The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?" The man replies, "That would be my wife."
