User:Rupinder.singh: Difference between revisions

Rupinder.singh ji, I chanced to see the words Chinese whisper and wondered whether it was a slam on the chinese. Why not a persian whisper or and american whisper, ect. The name comes from a game - I have to wonder about the game designer's intentions in giving the gossip award to the chinese.

We could have the old saws of the Scotch miser game or the Dutch Stinginess game or the Welsh betting game or the Indian Giver game (maybe you never heard of the phrase (probably started by euro americans in reference to how much more trustworthy they were than american indians).

Seeing your name in red reminds me I have forgotten to say welcome to this site. I hope you will take a few moments to tell us a bit about yourself; country, interest, age, education, work, whatever. Any morsels that turns your name to blue - by adding info on your user page site. That site is usually never alter by anyone but you. We add comments and questions on our respective discussion (talk) pages.

I used to teach at a university here in the 'states (US) and on the first day of many of my design classes I would give out a letter size paper with an outline drawing of the USA. The first student was asked to redraw this and pass it on - each student doing the same. The final drawing proved the point of being accurate and careful in using language, ect. I believe this is what Martin Heidegger called drift. I guess this was long before someone decided to label the Chinese, with this tendency we all have.

Again welcome and please continue to contribute.
