how people divide the utility bill during holiday?
Hi, I live a flat with 3 girls (including me, 4 girls) and one girl has been to her country during holiday for a month. Actually, also I wasn't in flat 3 weeks then. Now, we got the utility bill and we have to pay for it. I supposed that the bill should be divided just exactly by 4, but the girl who got back to her country insist she doesn't want to pay for a month. Even we weren't in flat, I think we have to pay for it. I wasn't in flat 3 weeks during the same tern with her, but I feel need to pay because we share the flat and utility is quite uncountable how much we use. (the other 2 girls also sometimes in flat, sometimes not in flat during same term.) What do you think everyone? Do you think her opinion is reasonable? I'd like to solve this problem happily for all. info, we are all students in UK and come from Hongkong, Korean, Greece, and Japan(me). Greece girl got back to her country during holiday.

well i think you should all chip in and pay your shares.. if it was a 200 dollar bill everyone pay 50 what ever it is you all pay a share of it.. you all wanted too share the flat in the beginning and im sure you all agreed on what you were gonna pay... even if no one was there its still a 4 way split that's how i think anyway.....if i left my moms house for a week and i pay her 75 dollars every week i would still give her the 75 dollars even if i wasn't there.. because we made that agreement im staying there ..if i had my own apartment and i left for 2 weeks i would still have to pay the electric company.. and my whole rent what i owe them just because its my bill....

Are asians most likely smarter than any other race?
Are asians most likely smarter than any other race?
Maybe not all asians..Most people here in America thinks that an "asian" have slanted eyes or etc..what about those russians? indians or cambodians..? But in this case, I will only concentrate my question to asian countries like " china,korea,vietnam,philippines,japan,taiwan,& hongkong. [yes there are alot of asian countries, but the countries I mentioned above are somewhat being typically referred as asians with slanted eyes,not most of them, but you know what I mean] I search over the net and I saw the US census bureau of 2007 related to household income and I found out Asian household lead the chart earning $60,000 up, followed by white= $40,000 or more, then by hispanics and black. as a 15 year old student, I found it easy here in the US when we moved here coz' they only have 4 blocks of classes in the whole day while in the philippines, we do have 9 to 12 blocks. Not all asians are smart, yes there are criminals and etc, but generally in school, are they smart?

Yes SOME are very smart I'm pretty sure somebody is going to give you slack for stereotyping but it is true and if anything it's a nice stereotype that can be backed up by the everyday world
2 :
No, this question is extremely stereotypical by made noneless than a media influenced american. Asian study hard because they have to, or they wouldn't be able to live in America where racism and stereotype flourishes. Asians study hard mainly because of their culture, if you bring a 1 yearold Asian child to america, He will not do as great as of those in their native land, this shows that Asian does not have natural talent in understanding Human language and problem solving method, but it is a learning process made in different progress by different cultures

look at the UC colleges enrollment and tht'll answer your question. it's not about being smarter though. typical asian fmilies in America have strict rules and guidelines and put education first in the children's lives.

it's so funny, honestly most asians are soo smart and insane at video games it's crazy. but i don't mean to stereotype.
5 :
I don't know cause I was always told Germans and Cherokee Indians were always very intelligent people also.
6 :
As a whole yes its part of the culture. The parents and teachers are more strict so the kids are smarter and eventually get involved with something that makes lots of money. That's why Japan has some of the worlds best technology and why China makes everything.
7 :
It's cultural. Most people forget that Asian-Americans mostly come from generations of people who migrated to America. Very bright, very determined, very hard-working people who set their values very high. I don't think that intelligence is genetic, so Asians are not genetically smarter than other races. Anyone can have a high IQ, you just have to value your education highly.

It's all based on the way you were raised. Most Asians come from families that highly value education and the children are encouraged to study hard and do well in school. If someone comes from a home that puts an emphasis on education and getting a well paying job, they are likely to pursue that goal. Many Asian communities also have programs to help kids learn. I know my area has the CPC for the Chinese community that has volunteers to help tutor kids which helps boost grades. The more support you have along the way, the more likely you are to be successful. it's all a cultural thing, not a genetic thing.

Qwerty is wrong. Intelligence IS genetic. Please study.
11 :
Yes, but I think it's not that they were born more "intelligent" then everyone else. It's just that their parents pressure them to work harder in school. Especially if they're parents or grandparents were immigrants from Asia. Since China and other Asian countries are so populated, the students have no choice but to work hard to make it into colleges to have a good future, since there is so much competition. So since their parents were raised that way, generally they'll raise their kids that way too.

Should i feel bad if i like my bf talk dirty before/during sex?
Should i feel bad if i like my bf talk dirty before/during sex?
when he talk really dirty he always check me and tell me that i'm REALLY wet. should i feel bad? i can't control what my body does. should i feel i'm a slut because i know it's a bad word for girls and i don't want to be one? he call me all kind of bad names i don't know if he really think i'm that way in real life or he just say it to make me really wet and have the sex. i'm confused. there is something else. he gives me money almost every time we meet(even the first time he invited me to his house, he gave me money for taxi fare, but now i know how to drive to his house and he still gives me money). and we do have sex every time we meet. he put money on the nightstand sometimes even before i arrived. and everytime we meet we have A LOT of sex. that's almost the only thing we do because it takes so long so it takes away the time we do other things like talking. He also told me he visited many prostitutes in Asia(china, hongkong, singapore) where he used to work. i don't know how prostitutes work. he gave me money because i'm a student and not working right now. but he always calls me a ''whore'' during sex. should i feel bad about this? does he respect me or just want to take care of me? i hate to ask money from my parents all the time since i can't find a job now. i'm an atheist, he is lutheran catholic i think. does religion matter? **i've asked this in the wrong section, the LGBT one, i think they think i'm a gay boy,but i'm a girl. basically i LOVE the sex we have, i just don't want to feel guilty or bad. thanks for you answering.

he prolly thinks you're a prostitue. that's why he's paying you
2 :
obviously he's not your BF otherwise you would know about his life. your ignorance is showing though in this troll-ish post.... there is no such thing as lutheran catholic AND he shouldn't be having sex before marriage if he was either so..... if you are paid after sex, it's prostitution.

here's one paragraph: i am glad you agree with my opinions. waking up early and learning bothered me when i was a student. how far is it from your house to your schools? my kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school are near my house but my high school isn't. i have to go onto the train to get there. it takes about 40 min by train.

Yes, I will think twice before I do something. Thank you for giving me (such) nice advice ^^ ("Such" isn't needed here, but I would personally use it) So you currently live with your family. Do your siblings live with your family too? As I told you, I have a brother. My family has one house, an apartment, and an office for rent. My brother will get them because he is the oldest and will live there alone. Is it the same in Hong Kong? I know Swiss people (or maybe Europeans) do not give their houses to their children. People buy houses by themselves. So you don't talk to your parents often? (or if s/he mentioned it beforehand "So, you said you don't talk to your parents often...) I do not think it is because you are not a good son. My brother does not talk to my family, and I talk to my family a lot, every day, but he is a really good kid.

Ok, I'm going to correct it as well as maybe add a few things here and there to make it flow better, if that's alright with you: I'm fine, just a little sleepy though; thank you for asking. I'm glad you share my opinions. Waking up so early to learn bothered me when I was a student. How far is your house from your school? My kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school are near from my house, but my High School isn't. I have to take the train to get there. It takes about 40 minutes that way. Yes I'll think twice before I do something. Thank you for giving me the nice advice ^^ So you currently live with your family? Do your siblings live with your family too? As I mentioned before, I have a brother. My family has a house, an apartment, and an office for rent. My brother will get everything because he's the oldest and he's the only boy. Is it the same way in Hongkong? I know that Swiss people (or maybe other Europeans) don't leave their houses to their children. People have to buy houses by themselves. So you don't talk to your parents often? I don't think it's because you're not a good son. My brother doesn't speak with my family, but I talk to them frequently, every day in fact. Despite that, my brother's a really good kid. I'm still the only one who is scolded by my family. I'm not busy so it's really no problem. I'd love to help you ^^ Oh, you met with your friends this evening? Ah, I can understand very well how you feel. Do you like to meet with people? Basically I like to meet with people but sometimes I feel too tired for that. Speaking of meeting people... *Remember never begin a sentence with "because", and to capitalize "I" no matter where it is in the sentence. You're on the right track! :)

I am just fine, although I am sleepy. Thank you for asking. I am glad that you and I agree on things. OR I’m glad you agree with my opinions. (First is more informal.) When I was a student, waking up early and trying to learn bothered me. How far is your house from your school? With the exception of my high school, all the schools that I have attended are near my house. I have to ride the train to go to high school and it takes 40 minutes to get there. Yes, I will think twice before I do something, thank you for the advice. So, you live with your family? Do your siblings live with you and your family too? OR So, you live at home with your family? Do your siblings live at home too? (Second would make more sense, and I’m going to assume that this person in Hong Kong has already mentioned that they have siblings, because to my understanding China has a one child policy in place, but I’m not sure if it extends to Hong Kong.) As I told you earlier, I have a brother. My family owns a house, an apartment, and an office (building? One office to rent out is impossible, usually it’s an office building.) which we rent out. My brother will inherit everything, because he is the oldest and the only boy. Is it the same in Hong Kong? I know that the Swiss (or perhaps the Europeans in general) do not give houses to their children. People there buy their own houses. So you don’t talk to your parents often? I think that it is because you are not a good son. OR I don’t think because it because you are a good son. (Original meaning unclear. The first one is blaming the son for not talking to his parents, though.) While I talk to my parents everyday, my older brother doesn’t. He is still a very good kid, though. I am still the only kid in my family that gets scolded. It’s no problem, I’m not busy at all. I like to help you. OR I am not busy, so it is not a problem. I like helping you. Oh, so you and your friends went out this evening OR Oh, so your friends and you hung out this evening. (Second is informal.) I very much understand how you feel. Do you like to meet people? Except for when I am very tired, I like to meet new people. Speaking of meeting people...
