“German accents and Hassidic accents aren't that romantic. They're more harsh. Although Hebrew, when spoken by certain people, sounds beautiful.

“I'm going to show you a technology today which takes insults and criticisms out of the airwaves. (Marshall puts on giraffe ears) With this technology, it will be impossible for you to hear criticisms, harsh remarks, or insults. All you can hear is what all people are ever saying, "please" and "thank you". What used to sound like criticism, judgment, or blame, you will see, are really tragic, suicidal expressions of "please".” PeopleShowsTodayUsedSoundTechnologyImpossibleExpressionCommunicationPleaseJudgmentCriticismEarsBlameInsultTragicHarshSuicidalRemarksNonviolent CommunicationGiraffeSaying PleasePlease And Thank You Author:Marshall B.
