Apparently, your death will one day cause the death of the universe.
You are hated, yet we are forced to tolerate you for this.
You hate me?

And French.
I know what you were talking about...but BP's almost as much of a overbearing, pompous a$$ as Stark is lately, thus my comment.
I've seen this thread somewhere before.![]()
XD That'd be emo.
My mom pretty much "lost interest" (paid more attention to my twin) when I decided to pursue a scientific lifestyle. And then my dad just got pissy and jealous when I decided to enter pretty much into the same field he operates in.
It's not that they don't get me. (Maybe my mom doesn't, but that's because the only way she got through life was via her body) It's more like we decide not to get along.
lol Funny. We're not like some dysfunctional family, we just step on each other's toes quite often. (Purposely when it comes from me.)
And it's just characteristic of most upper class French homes. Family's that just do their own individual things inside of the family.
France, like America, just has different ways of doing things in societies.
The average French family is extremely argumentative amongst themselves, where American families pretty much argue quite a bit, but only out of pent up anger and problems.
In fact, French people argue amongst themselves almost like a pass time, where Americans do not.
The same differences are evident in places like China, Japan, Greece, Spain, Germany, Italy, England, Russia, and several other places. Could you honestly place your society in the same habits as Italy?
Kind of sort of. It's more like petty bickering that starts long term problems. While you DO argue, it's not really... how should I put it... a true argument. It's more like... hmmm... explaining this is harder than I thought. You guys let it get under your skin.
The French use arguments more like social norms, similar to how Americans poke fun at each other without any long standing problem.
And it's not completely false. While you guys argue, that's hardly what I would use as a basis to compare French and American societies as being similar enough to justify that I'm not much different based on me being from an entirely different culture.
And before we forget, let's remember is was I who was right about the Patriot Act.![]()
I remember admitting I was wrong before Funeman came in with a link to the Patriot Act confirming I was indeed right, and then decided not to pursue it further, as it would cause further unnecessary conflict.
As for my time in America, I've lived here before. At least a few years the first time, this will be another year. And in all truth, I'm hardly one to make gross generalizations about entire cultures like some base racist. It's your cultural norm.

A great portion of the Hype community is American. A great portion of the Hype community argues (kind of like what you and pj are doing right now). Do you think that the majority of these people are arguing because of "pent up anger and problems"?The average French family is extremely argumentative amongst themselves, where American families pretty much argue quite a bit, but only out of pent up anger and problems.
And how come he always picks heralds who leave him?
