    but it something i feel a bit sometime, even in the young 'americanised' generation that ppl think they NEED the industry and the mc do and the supermarket otherwise they would starve or die, because there is no other 'production force' but as france functionned very well for centuries without too much industry and fast food, they know it is very superficial and have a comparison with other system ,but it is more the older persons who think like this

    I'm giving my kids rocks to play with. Why do we have kids anyways? so we can project our mental problems onto them?

    for that the system project its problems onto them =)

    did you ever notice that the persons who influence kids the more are generally ppl who had no child or not really 'familly men' in the end lol


    This ad goes away when you register.

    in a way there are person who do stuff, that are reminded and admired by kids, and the parent whom are hated by their kids lol

    hah. Boston is like a clean NY. I don't like it. I feel weird being on a street corner without crack dealers and whores, it just doesn't feel right. And if you go to Harvard I think it reduces your chances of getting laid in that city? What kind of backwards shit is that? haha.

    Don't know what part of Boston you've been in dude, but there are parts that make NYC look downright pristine.

    Wasn't the cleanliness (or lack of it) I was getting at though. Boston wasn't planned like NYC, it grew. Cow paths to trails to streets and its still easier to get somewhere by just going in the "general direction" than in taking any planned sort of direction.

    yes i guess not all city are that much squared, but compared to european city with little roads everywhere and all kind of odd quarter which has been made when cars did not exist and were made for horses , it is more modern conception, european city has been designed centuries ago and were not specially made to handle cars or even trains =)

    lot of cities have a medieval construction with the church, walls, and fields, etc all streets are named with functional role they had in that time =)

    yea I still don't get the Citgo sign across from the baseball stadium but I'm sure they had a good reason in the planning department; as for putting 4 colleges within walking distance, not sure if that's a great idea but seems to be working out for them; (i'm secretly jealous, USC is stuck in the filth of downtown Los Angeles)

    sarcasm dually noted.

    Going to college in Boston was so incredible. I went to school by Fenway Park, more than ten schools in the area, so it was crazy, especially when the Red Sox played. You are right. The city is incredibly poorly planned and over crowded with college students, but it's randomness and insanity gives it a hectic charm of it's own. As for the whores and crack dealers, they were still around, just not on the street corners.
