I want to kill my flatmates

[Datajack Franit]

I didn't choose the Israeli guy because he needed a translator to understand the conversation. For the whole time it was his friend talking, as he barely said a phrase. Also, my flatmate doesn't speak English, how were they supposed to communicate?

I really don't see what's xenophobic about it

On one hand immigrants are supposed to integrate. However many will reason like you and refuse to live with them.

Integrate =/ living under the same roof.

[Fake Boris]

Of course not. Still, if people won't talk to immigrants because communication is difficult, how are they supposed to learn? The language barrier seems to be the primary reason invoked by Datajack.

Oncle Boris's idea of integration : Natives learning the language of immigrants?

[Fake Boris]

wtf cort?

[Datajack Franit]

The Israeli guy was a foreign student, not an immigrant. Foreign students are supposed to take a basic language course BEFORE moving. How the hell was he supposed to attend courses?

[Fake Boris]

He'll learn... my take is that it actually takes some courage to do what he did. Most people spend their lives at home with a boring routine. He took on the challenge.
He will likely fail his first semester, but then he'll have learned and be in a position to get his credits in the second. If there are second chance exams in the summer (like in France) he can then try to revalidate his failed term.

Boris, your accusations of 'Xenophobia' are outrageous. You are effectively blaming DF for the fact that this guy (student / immigrant, whatever) doesn't speak the language and yelling "racist" at him.

I don't expect people to be fluent in a language to talk to them (unlike in Paris, where they spit on any attempt to speak French which isn't totally perfect) but how can you blame DF for wanting the ability to communicate with his flatmate?

[Fake Boris]

a) Datajack is known for his racist and xenophobic stances.
b) I sure won't blame him, it's his flat and he can do whatever he wants with it. Still, isn't it ironic that the most vocal defenders of the necessity of "integration" are those who won't bother with helping? People in complete immersion learn fast.

[Datajack Franit]

I was more than ready to bang #1 Israeli guy, does this make me a xenophobe?

[Fake Boris]

yes

And vice versa. Tw@s next door wanting to have music on till 6am when I'm in work at 6:45am

I am a student who is kept awake by the workers who live above me that like to play shakira to 3 in the morning and have parties with so much drunken hollering and heavy bass that the person living bellow me has knocked on my door, thinking I was responsible for the noise.

Re: I want to kill my flatmates

Basically, I've been living in this apartment since the middle of July 2006. It's large, even for a city that the Allies didn't bomb enough

Bologna was liberated by Polonia

Damn, when I say in Arabic: "I'm from Buluniya" (Arabs do not distinguish P and B)
they think I'm from Italy. If I say "I'm from Bulanda"
they say "ah, from Holland!"

punks paying the rent by selling drugs and Art students working as male prostitutes (again, happened to me during my Freshman year).

tell us all about it

"Haifa!"

I would have taken him on the spot. It'd be fun to live with a Jew
I could have a Kyle of my own... ah.

All these guys seem very nice. The couple is made up by an Art student (he) and a tailor (she). The American guy is a foreign language student, speaks the best Italian I ever heard from a foreigner. The couple at some point of the conversation start rolling a joint and offers it to everyone. (Yeah, I know. BEEEEP!)

and You took them?

The American guy refuses, but the next day he calls and apologises for that, inviting me out for a drink, so that we can get to know each other better, as he barely said a word during the meeting.

and instead of that nice guy You preferred junkies

I want the couple, but he is not convinced, saying that they probably are some junkies that cleaned up themselves just for this occasion.

your S is not only cute, but smart as well.
When it comes to You,
again

Baboons burp and fart while having dinner in the living room.

that's only to avoid spontanuous combustion

Female Baboon's sister yells at S. when he opens the kitchen's window to get toxic fish gases out of the place.

he should yell at her

Datajack notices that Baboons never took a shower since the day they moved in.

You shall pay less for water and they won't use electricity with the dryer, too!

Baboons leave poo poo all over the toilet, thinking the magical toilet will auto-clean itself. Female baboon and her sister also think that leaving bras and used tampons on the sink will magically disappear as well.

fun!

So, S. waits for the Baboons to come back from nobody knows, and tells him so. This develops into a nightmare, with everyone yelling but me. Male baboon storms out of the place and comes back after a while, he brought some of the people living downstairs, yelling at them. These people get so scared that say they didn't complain or anything like that. Baboons say that as nobody complained, they don't have to leave the apartment, but as they don't like living in these conditions anymore

sweet

"IS THIS THE WAY OF COMING AT PEOPLE'S HOME? YOU CAN'T SEE MY ROOM, THERE ARE PERSONAL ITEMS IN THERE"

that reminds me Almaz, the ***** I used to rent a room from in Damascus, who invited people to see our room and didn't even tell us. She just opened the door, and it was very hot, so we were half-naked, and people came it.
I hate that women so much.

I shut the door and there's total silence.

ha ha ha poor You

For some reason, I think S. will be mad at me for bringing this plague to the apartment, do you agree?

yes, but only for a while. After a couple of weeks, You shall be laughing about it.

Let me know what do you think about all this LONG story.

1) S is cool
2) You're such a loser
(but I like You)
