[@cloo2937]

I agree those kids are amazing. When Russel facial expressions where shown while they were talking about real issues, I was laughing my but off 🤣

[@MrBabylon]

Those Kids are probably talking from personal experience, either something they went through or they've seen others they care about go through. The first kid speaking was probably from East Africa, e.g. Somalia, he instantly wishes for world peace and and end to all wars, imagine what he's been through or seen to make him think like that from such a young age. The second kid wishes for an end to homelessness, another childhood disrupted by the failures of society.

[@moomoocachoo9025]

​@@MrBabylon The first kid isn't Somali....I don't know why you would assume that. Maybe you're mixing him up with the one who tries to explain who Kim Kardashian is. Even then, being from there doesn't mean he'd have that answer. This was a reflection on their parents and nothing else.

Karina Peters it’s pretty clean now... don’t get me wrong there are still some tough places but the centre is perfectly fine and most of the rough areas it’s kind of disputed if their actually in Glasgow or a neighbouring town like paisley.

[@mimim868]

@@mr.t.1237 Hello. I have never commented on anyone on this matter but, hear me out. First, not everyone on the internet has had English as their first language, I am from Tanzania (East Africa) and for most of us, English is our third language (and that is the case with most countries who don't have English as their first language)! And, we don't even get to use it that much, only when we interact with people who don't speak OUR first and second languages. Second, the main purpose of ANY language is for people to understand one another. Therefore, regardless of how bad the grammar is, if we understand each other, that is quite enough. Finally, the next time you feel the need to criticize someone's English, just remember, English is not the only language in the world and we are NOT required to speak it perfectly. Nakutakia siku njema, Mr T.

[@md61211]

@@mimim868 I also don't understand why the criticism (Mr. T's). The grammar was perfect. There was one spelling mistake & one word with a missing letter + oddly spaced. Besides, the OP was quoting the kids, not writing their own post. What was Mr.T's issue?
