I agree with you about that. If you're looking at facts, you want them to be true. An escort/madame once told me the lying about age and weight is done out of self-protection. If a girl is reported to be 22, clients assume she's 26. Therefore the agency says the girl is 18 and let clients...

So newbutsmart admits that he knows nothing at all and has contributed nothing to this board. But now he has to speak -- or, as he puts it, he "couldn't help to comment on your topic." Why must he speak? Not because he has anything useful to say, just because he sees a chance to dump on somebody...

That's well said and I feel much the same way. It's possible to write reviews that are respectful, that give needed information without spilling a girl's secrets. I don't go in for the acronyms, one reason being that I don't care about the activities they stand for. But I try to get across...

The first escort I ever saw, I hurt her feelings. It had been so long since I'd had sex that I was in shock, so I didn't talk after, I just lay there and kind of wondered what had happened. She asked me why I was being so cold, and we left on frosty terms. Too bad, she was a nice woman.

I know that's what you meant. That's why I said good lord. As to the Priceline icon -- good. You are now dealing in evidence. Not that I find the case conclusive. Do the people with Shatner on their phone even know who he is? And how do you know Dion doesn't have some similar means of...

Eager, you're proving my point. The question was who was more famous around the world. One poll on a US message board proves exactly as much as one poll on a Quebec message board: nothing. But you think it's conclusive because it's a poll of "people like me that had the same life experience."...

They don't share your opinion, so their perception is "skewed." Eager, that's not a good way to think. Now if somebody had proved that Shatner was more popular around the world than Celine, and if Quebecois merbites still insisted that he wasn't, then you'd have some grounds for dismissing their...

Don't assume this thread is a cross-section of opinion in Quebec. Different groups can have different views about the same situation.

People aren't making fun of the tragedy, they're focusing on the positive. They love Charles Ramsey because he's somebody ordinary who did the right thing. And he's funny. No disrespect to the women intended.

I'll get you a t-shirt saying that.

The blogger Kevin Drum posted a useful roundup of "facts" that were shot down: And what does it all mean? Guess what -- right now nobody knows.

How do you know this other girl looks like her photo? If the agency fooled you once, don't bother staying in their good graces. Most likely they'll just dick you over again.

Just Montréal, but now I'll check out some Québec City posts. I definitely agree with the last point. We have some writers in English who are serviceable, but francophone Merbites often bring a certain grace and cleverness to how they express themselves. Not all of them and not all the time, but...

Nowhere! I was testing my time stamp to make sure everything I posted would be local time, not GMT. Still, I think I make a fair point. Wow, you just said the magic words. Ok, everything else in your post must be true.

True, I generalize. In general I find Merb's French posts to be better written than its English posts. But there's certainly some lousy French on display. For one thing, there are guys who won't follow basic grammar: Elle m'a parler, as if the infinitive were the past tense. Fair question...

I've been reading in various threads, and it seems like Merb's French posts are much better written than its English posts. Yes, the francophones write better French than they do English. But here's the thing. Their French is also better than the English of the anglophone posters. Typical Merb...

I do. I started the thread because I think Merbites should have a place to talk about US politics. If you don't like one guy's posts, you're free to put up your own and make any case you like (as long as it's about US politics).

She took two spoonfuls! Don't even know why I bother. But she took just two spoonfuls.

Thanks, Lily, that's good news. Any other women who would like to contribute their knowledge ... ?

Thanks, Samy, that's a good point and your testimony is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Any other ladies who can help me out?
