*snip* Being a daughter of my mother

Got a funny story about that. MrsNix, my daughter and I went out shopping yesterday and my 25yo daughter turns to MrsNix and says "Everyday I look and behave more like you. I hate it!" I laugh and she says "don't you laugh" it seems that everyday my other daughter is behaving more like me and isn't all that impressed either. At least she's not looking more like me!!!!!!!
 
Another boring day in the office. At least today is over (just) half way through. Still got nothing worth doing for 4 hours though. And unfortunately, too many people around, so I really can't spam here either.
 
I'm sorry, but the frustration you are feeling being stuck in traffic is completely unjustified. Stop it this instant!
I don't like to think that anyone is "stuck in traffic." You are a part of traffic - you're blocking others as much as the people in front are blocking you. The traffic doesn't just start on every side of you. Being a part of traffic, and thinking that, makes me smile, slightly. Then get bored and frustrated at being a part of traffic. :(

Lots of spam last night and this morning. I can't understand much of the french, but I'll have a go when I get home. I'll catch up on the rest tonight.

Get over it Cy, you could be in a North Korean prison camp.

Lol kamap! ZING! ;p
That is dark. I grinned at that, as it was clearly a dark joke, then felt bad, as it's true.

By the way, what is wrong with being born a girl in china? I don't follow that one.
 
Damn, am i glad i wasn't in yesterday with all the French. My French is bad, but at least i haven't forgotten so much that i couldn't follow the conversation. I remember having to read a book for French class. Even with a dictionary i couldn't make anything of it. Cause i got held back that year i had to read it again. And somehow (i still don't know how) i got what the book was about. It was something really silly like a boy being on the moon or something like that. Then i thought: No wonder i couldn't make anything of it. This story makes no sense!

Anyway, only good thing with French is the kissing. Oh and the country itself is pretty good too if you look past the language.

In a North Korean prison camp they wouldn't dare being late with fixing car trouble. They would get their asses whooped!

You don't follow? Never heard of the one child policy which lead to many girls being killed before being born or thrown out like trash because they think boys are worth more? That's also the reason there's a huge amount of men for each woman there now (where normally it's around 50-50).
I really like the idea of the one child policy (as this earth is way too populated), but unfortunately they didn't take that cultural factor into consideration. So it didn't work out as well as it could've.

Must be Le petit prince!! I read that too in French class :-)
 
Well... it's 20 years ago so I am not sure I remember it correctly... I think I liked it. But I also have a vague feeling that I might have read it in English before so I kind of guessed most of it.

Well, did you?

Indeed I did! But then I realised that it means very little, except that it was a part of personal development within the world. And in terms of that, it was still a small (but nonetheless significant) part.
 
Sadly but its still true that females in china are less desirable as a child then a male, from the top of my head here are some reasons: Men will mostly earn more, taking care of the elderly, wife mostly go and live with the family of the man and therefor the parents of the girl are left alone to care for themselves in their old age, Dowry (not sure about this but its possible), male bias is deeply routed in chinese traditions so first child is preferable male and since you can have only 1 child.
Its more of a cultural thing though then anything else.
 
Though in china certain male parts are really below average compared to other countries if you take them out of the equation the average in the world would go up, counting that about 1/14th maybe even 1/12th of the world population is a chinaman.
So I think you ment all males are superior but some more superior then other.

Luckily you added that smiley or I should have to go on a ranting spree about how stupid that notion actually is.
