Grandma? - جدة؟

I know <em>jaddah</em> is the word for grandma, but I've also heard <em>sittah (؟ستة)</em> and <em>tetah (؟تتة)</em>, which I believe are not standard. But I would like to know their use and if they're like maternal and paternal grandmother forms. Thank you!

Truth Comissions, and untold truth. Yesterday I was reading a great article regarding the Truth Commissions that were created in many countries of Latin America, but specially focused on why Nicaragua didn't create one of these commissions. Besides having a divided opposition, Nicaragua is under the regime of terror headed by Ortega and his FSLN folks -and former guerilla. The UNO (one of the current oppositions parties, and corrupt) and the Ortega-FSLN block opposed to the creation of a Truth Commission. What for? These commissions investigate the actions and measure during past governments, these commissions in Latin America were created specially after war periods. Anyway, what caught my attention from this article was the fact that the columnist asks WHY the military governments and conservative governments from the past decades are shown to the world as the "bad guys" and the only ones that committed crimes against humanity, Why? Many ones hide the history of all the bloody guerrillas, many of them now turned into political parties. Thus, the article starts listing Guatemala's, Salvadorean, Nicaraguan, Peruvian, Chilean, Uruguayan and Argentinan radical groups that were/are part of history, and less is known about them and their atrocities. In my opinion, no war is good, and each side made mistakes, but the truth is one and has to be told, not half truths. Not a left wing "victimized", when they were executors.

Is this an Irish proverb? "What whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for." Since I'm interested in Irish English and culture, I wanted to share it with you guys. And tell me what do you think about this proverb lol Regards,

How far will you go for an online video-game? It's amazing how many people can get addicted to video-games. In this note, I'd like to focus on the online video-games. I understand that some people just want to have fun on the web playing a game, while others spend their money and time weekly on this type of games. Do I consider it a bad activity? No. However, I've seen people that can easily get mad by a missing virtual cow rather than the lack of groceries at home, or not even worried about a natural disaster on their area. Plus, the way they react with the support area, when most of the time they cannot provide them with an instant solution. I think that people shouldn't get attached to online video-games a lot, but if you're going to hake it as a hobby, then let's take it by the healthy way without losing yourself on the path. I don't know, what do you think? ¡Hasta luego! :-)
