Due to all the negativity I encounter here on TV, I thought to remind all of us, of how beautiful our lives are, and that we should love one another, no matter what colour, religion, or nationality we have.

In the early 1930's a well known actor called Charlie Chaplin, came up with a speech for his movie "The Dictator", which has almost been forgotten.

I have put links below the video for all the tranlations I could find for this video in any possible language. If you could find this speech in a language I've not provided in the links below the video, please feel free to add them.

THIS IS FOR ALL MY FELLOW TV MEMBERS,...........FOR EVERYONE, REALLY!

Good post.....

I thought it was a little OTT for a few expats letting off steam, also not Thai related, sorry just my view.

So, OP, - what did you do today, to make this world a better place? Besides posting this video....Feed any hungry, cloth any cold.

Perhaps start by going to your local electric company, and paying the bill anonymously for a few poor people who have had their electricity cut off over the matter of a few hundred baht - so that never again will children die in a fire started with a candle, that they were using to do their homework, because their electricity was cut off over failure to pay a few hundred baht.

Thanks for the suggestions. What a welcome change from the usual whinging and cynical abuse of our fellow posters that seems all too common on these fora.

I think I might give to the chaps that are normally collecting for charity outside the ATM tomorrow.

I would be directly behind you in the queue Stradavarius37 if for a moment I thought it would make a difference. As a matter of interest, how many bills have you paid today?

What happened to the children was a tragedy, but it was simply that, an unfortunate accident. I don't understand why you feel the need to bring this to a 'feel-good' thread unless it is trolling.............

With all due respect humans are animals, the same as the animal kingdom,so u will never get unity or love amongst all people.Just be good yourself,help the needy and u will feel good every day.

One only has to read some post daily to realise we are all different,some on here are horrible people and some are very genuine,who dont find the need to be intolerant or gobby

Well, considering I just came back from volunteering at my local orphanage, I would said I've done more than you today...since you asked.

I did a 14 hour shift at the BP Oil production line (Vienna) for 12.50 Euros/hour in order to provide financial means for my Thai wife, and son, so that they can pay for their electricity needed. I currently do that 6 days a week, and every second Sunday.

And he fled the US because of an FBI investigation was underway.

Surely there are better examples to use for a Kumbaya moment than a comedian who needed to run to Switzerland to escape a paternity suit.

Some TV posters may be delusional, but I doubt too many are plotting to over run Poland.

I think The Great Dictator is meant to be fictional, rather than autobiographical, and the identity and misdemeanours of the actors are of secondary importance. Do they not have cinematic entertainment where you're from?

Very nice but surely un American.

We're fortunate, in this forum, that that is not a crucial deficiency. I suggest you raise it with the film's original publishers, wherever they were from.

I am glad to see that the Chinese version is presented using Traditional Characters and not Simplified.

But so far I have not been able to find this in Esperanto.

Strange this man was forced to leave the USA just for holding a few political and world views.

The land of free speech turned out to be not free enough after all.

Maybe Chaplin should have stayed away from Talkies.

Far safer when you don't talk.
