Yeah but before that I need a gf to go with me...

Do it the way i do : Take your best mate with you :D

blah blah blah... that's my middle name! hehe X-D I'm sure the below article applies to posting on messageboards and late night conversations where the hubby just nods and smiles and says "yes dear"!

As any long-suffering boyfriend or husband knows, some women just love to talk. Now research shows that females talk more than men even when communicating by text message. The study by Sheffield Hallam University found women write longer messages than men.



Women key in detailed messages, brimming with personality and affection, while men stick to brief, nononsense texts. Women also use abbreviations and icons such as "smiley" faces made out of full stops and commas more.



Dr Simeon Yates observed the mobile phone habits of hundreds of people. He found that female text messages typically go on for 82 characters, while men get their point across with just 68. Women offer their friends love and support, while men often resort to sarcasm, sexual humour and swearing.



Yates, who lectures in communication studies, said: "Women always start off by saying something like 'How are you?' and will finish with 'love' or 'take care' or 'with lots of kisses'. In between those, there are very often one or two sentences the equivalent of a large chunk of a conversation packed into one message. In contrast, when a man texts a mate, he doesn't even send a sentence?the message is information-based."



Text message diaries kept by the 18 to 30-yearolds taking part in the study also revealed that men alter their strategy when sending texts to women. When trying to stoke a romance, men send longer, more expressive messages. Daily Mail

No Comment... If you don't understand, just take a look at a REAL France map...



CNN Sux

so, they misplaced a few cities... god, you frogs are so sensitive :P

misplace ? Toulouse is in Switzerland, as normally it's just near Spain...

Strasbourg is in the middle of Austria, Lyon is in the middle of nowhere (it's called "Auvergne", frenchmen will understand :) )

Cannes is about 200 miles at the west, and they couldn't even place Paris at the right place...



A 12 year old kid on a geography homework, I could understand this type of mistakes, but it's CNN... it's like if the first french channel show an USA map with New York in Canada, Los Angeles in the middle of Texas and Boston in Florida...

Plus, they show little flames like if it was an Irak map... We are not at war, there are only kids burning cars and throwing stones at the policemen... In a week they will have stop.

I was just yanking your chain man... they're idiots, what do ya want? CNN is based in Atlanta, down in the South... the sad part is most americans wouldn't even know that map is fucked.

Only kids burning cars and throwing rocks at police ?



I agree it's not war like it's in Irak , but believe me , this is gonna affect Europe. In fact , the first cars have been set on fire in Holland as well. And we have some sick ass mofo's living here ( Foreign AND Dutch , and not being a racist here ) so i wouldn't be suprised if this gets out of hand.



It's not about the cars that are being set on fire , nor the fights with the police. It's the fact that innocent people with children are living in this area's.



For them it's not only burning cars and throwing stones at policemen.

And lets not forget this kids who ONLY burn cars actually killed a man by beating him up last weak who was trying to make out the fire this kids made in a trashcan thing.

Sure a while ago, there were Riots here like.. Riots everywhere nowadays :P



Whats it all over anyway.. ours was about the loyalists marching or something.. I didnt pay much attention.. i just sat and watched :P

Personally, I like riots... I love it when the oppressed masses rise up and burn shit... "April 26, 1992, there was a riot on the streets, tell me where were you? you were sittin home watchin' your TV, while I was participatin' in some anarchy..."

Yeah, I know, but they are idiots. Luckily, nobody did the same after that...

thing is u have to look at WHY there are riots - an unsuccessfull immigration policy led to large areas of alienated immigrants, effectively creating an asian/immigrant underclass.



an unsuccessfull immigration policy is no good for any race.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say there are some good things about riots. It shows that some of the youth in France feels so strongly about oppression/descrimination/poverty or whatever specifically ales them that they're willing to risk going to jail and getting in deep shit for that.



It's a strong contrast to here, America, which has just politically turned to shit over the past 5 years (hmm no correlation with the president I'm sure ) and nobody does anything. It's strange given that in the 60's America was fighing so strongly for beliefs and rights (even while on acid and all that stuff), and yet today most people are too preoccupied with their XBoxs and getting fat while listening to Lil Jon to give 2/3rds of a shit about anything going on out of your living room. Look at how many people voted in the 18-25 group. It didn't change a bit compared to the election before.



If these people are out there burning cars that is an expression of outrage towards something, and even if the means of expressing that are violent and aggressive, it still shows they feel strongly and unionized about something. And that's more than what has been going on here.

As much as it feels good to, I don't think even Bush can be blamed for this one. Ever since the Soviet Union fell, the West has just become to complacent in general. People feel as though there are no genuine threats to their existence, whether external or internal. Apoliticality is simply the order of the day.



Up here disenfranchisement is pretty much the norm, yet no one (myself incl.) does anything more than complain about it.
