    Learn some foreign languages :)

    well,numbers?dates?common greetings like the way to say 'hello''morning''goodbye'....those parts that the language teachers teach young kids....my English teacher taught me once and i forgot them all!!!!just some words like 'salut''bonjour''cava'stayed in my mind.......help.........:aah:

     

    Alright, so numbers.

    1- un

    2- deux

    3- trois

    4- quatre

    5- cinq

    6- six

    7- sept

    8- huit

    9- neuf

    10- dix

    11- onze

    12- douze

    13- treize

    14- quatorze

    15- quinze

    16- seize

    17- dix-sept

    18- dix-huit

    19- dix-neuf

    20- vingt

     

    Then, from 20 onwards, it's kind of like 17,18,19. So say the number was 23, you'd say the word for 20 and the word for 3. 23 would be vingt-trois. Also, anything that's with 1 (21,31,41, etc) you say "et" in between the two numbers (the word for and). So 21 would be vingt-et-un. The rest until 100 are

    30- trente

    40- quarante

    50- cinqante

    60- soixante

     

    Then starting at 70, they are kind of different.

    For 70, you say the word for 60, plus the words after 10. Like what you'd get if you subtracted 60 from that number.

    70-soixante-dix

    71-soixante-onze

    72- soixante-douze

    Like that.

     

    80- quatre-vingts

     

    Then the 90's are similar to 70's. You say the word for 80, then what would be left if you subracted 80 from that number.

    90- quatre- vingt-dix

    91-quatre-vingt-onze

     

    100 is cent. 200 is deux-cent and it continues like that in the hundreds. If you had a number like 456 it would be "quatre-cent-cinqante-six"

    (hyphens aren't too important, a space would do fine as well)

     

    1000 is mille and the same idea carries. 2000 is deux-mille. A number like 9286 would be "neuf-mille deux-cent quatre-vingt-six"

     

    It took me a while to learn numbers, but once you understand the basics it's not bad to figure out :thumb_yello:

    TEACH ME ALL THE THINGS :swoon: I love learning different languages! I can help people with English, and French. French is my second language, so its possible I won't be right 100% of time. Also, I know a bit of Persian/Farsi (Dari, the Farsi from Afghanistan) :thumb_yello:

     

    So get at me if you want some help, and I'll think of something I want to know :mf_rosetinted:

    The Gay Thread

    i could've replied to everything i read but that would take too long and i can't be bothered :teehee::naughty:

     

    but the bolded part stuck with me...

    For straight and gay people i (assume, i wouldn't know) that there is a distinct attraction to the gender.

    For bisexual people as, said above by saint_tails (i'm sorry i don't know your name :blush-anim-cl:) i believe there would be a distinction of attraction for both men and women.

    But i think for those who are label-less (and possibly those who are pansexual?) there is no distinction. There is no, i fancy them and them, there is I fancy her and him and him, and she's also nice, i fancy her.

     

    do you see what i mean? :dunno:

     

    Yeah, with pansexual people there is no distinction (at least from what I understand.

    And the name's Eileen :teehee:

    I know a few gay men who don't believe in bisexuality (even some who have slept with women) and they think Mika is gay, end of story. When homosexuals have been pressured into heterosexual relationships since the dawn of time because of societal expectations, family expectations, fears about their career, denial, confusion, religious beliefs, etc...I think I can understand why gay men view bisexuality as more of the same and not something that comes from genuinely being open to anyone regardless of gender.

     

    I understand bisexuality on an intellectual level because I've heard it from so many people and I don't think they are liars or delusional so I have to accept it as fact. But it is extremely difficult for me to relate to it. Gender is a very fundamental basis for how I relate to people and it would be impossible for me to remove gender from the process of falling in love.

     

    But of course you are right that people shouldn't be telling you about your sexuality. It's rude and none of their f-ing business. :sneaky2:

     

    Ya see though, for all bisexuals it's not that gender is being removed, it's just that you can love both, but in different ways. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's kind of like..

    Well say you can love cats or dogs. Some people only love cats, and some people only love dogs. Well, some people love both cats and dogs, but each in separate ways, and then there are some people who just loved domestic house animals.

    Pansexuality is generally labeled under bisexuality (I guess), but that would be the whole "removing gender" type thing. I can't speak for it though, I consider myself bisexual. I see gender, I could fall in love with either, but it is distinct.

    Again, hard to explain, but I've tried :thumb_yello:

    oops, ok :blink:

     

    I tend to be a bit too passionate over the subject.

     

    OH, I'm passionate about it to (being someone who is bisexual), I guess.. Hmm, how do I put it..

    I know that right now, it is good to stand there and announce your sexuality when you're not straight. It's wonderful, it really is. But also, in the way that straight people don't have to announce that they're straight, people of other sexualities shouldn't have to announce it either. Or at least in my ideal world where everyone gets along. I'm hoping one day that dream comes true. Hope I didn't offend anyone, I know I wasn't very clear on what I was saying :teehee:

    not until Homosexuality is accepted as 'normal'.

    I bow to the ones who come out, because they help themselves and the long time battle to be successful.

    we straight people are accepted, we are considered the normality. We don't need to fight for it.

    Where would be black people without martin luther king or nelson mandela? or all the martyrs of that cause?

    where would the LGBT without Milk? and all the gays killed for their sexual orientation?

    Those heroes changed the society perception of what is normal, they uipgraded the level uman kind has to look to.

     

    But everyone coming out is a hero, and stands for the others who live their lives not caring about the final goal.

     

    I totally agree, I guess my point just was that to be "out" you don't have to be on a pedestal and announce it. I think that's what I was trying to say :teehee:

    Now, sorry for not quoting anything, but here's my two cents. And I'll try to be as articulate as possible.

    While I understand that some people are closeted, where they actually hide their sexuality. But to be out you don't need to stand on a stage and say "I'M GAY/BI/WHATEVER". Some people just live their lives, and don't make a big deal out of things. Some people just keep their relationships personal. While I totally understand that it's good to stand up and be proud of who you are, being gay or bi or whatever is no different than being straight. And all you straight people don't have to announce that your orientation.

    Not sure if that makes any sense, my brain hasn't been in top shape recently so that could have come out as hodgepodge and I wouldn't know. :thumb_yello:
