*IMPORTANT* Outrageous!
Tuesday. 5.22.07 11:42 pm
I am extremely upset and angry at this turn of events. The U.N. wishes to abolish the traditional Chinese writing!

Here's the link where you can read more: Online petition - Say NO to United Nations' abolishment of Traditional Chinese in 2008

This is ridiculous, completely absurd! You would no more delete our ancient writing than make Latin vanish from the face of the Earth. We are one of the oldest living modern civilizations with a living, breathing language! Think of the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the Mayan inscriptions on their temples. It is a vital part of who we are!

What they are proposing is to delete the old, more complicated language for the simpler version. It is none of their business! I'll bet they wouldn't go to the Arabs and say, "Hey, can you change your langauge and histroy for us? Thanks!"

I'm definitely signing this petition. I hope you do, too. Please check out the link above. It's important!

Hang on a minute
From what I've read on the issue, the U.N. is simply issuing their decision in a certain way. Saying that this amounts to abolishing a language is taking it way out of context. Just cuz it's deciding to use simplified Chinese doesn't mean that traditional Chinese will disappear. And this doesn't mean that traditional Chinese won't be used elsewhere, e.g. Taiwan or Hong Kong. The U.N. simply doesn't have that sort of power or influence. Furthermore, this switch already occured quite a number of years ago (decades even).
