Eurozone leaders have reached a "three-pronged" agreement they say is vital to resolving the region's debt crisis. As part of the deal, banks have agreed to take a 50% loss on Greek debt. That has removed a major obstacle in European efforts to stabilise the problem. The announcement helped lift the euro as investors were more optimistic about the outlook for the region's growth and single currency. "The result will relieve the whole world that was expecting a decision that was strong from the eurozone," French President Nicolas Sarkozy said at a press conference in Brussels. Fears about the state of the eurozone's finances and the threat of a break up of the single European currency have been stalking markets for months. Critics have accused policymakers of not doing enough to resolve the issues, contributing further to the problems and fuelling uncertainty. In an effort to reassure markets, eurozone leaders have been trying to hammer out a deal what would help Greece put its national finances in order and underpin other European economies such as Italy. As part of Thursday's deal, the eurozone leaders have also called on the region's banks to increase the amount of money they hold on their books. At the same time, they are also planning to boost the power of a region-wide rescue fund.

It's very interesting that finally something is being done about Greece. I guess either Germany and France have high morals or they believe that something can be gained from helping Greece. What you guys think? Also, when will it be time to help out Spain, Italy, and Ireland?

Stranger: DO YOU THINK YAPPA IS PRETTY?
You: OUI
Stranger: OH BOY
Stranger: ANOTHER FOREIGNER
Stranger: -__-
You: Quoi?
You: No understand
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
Another Foreigner....?
Although, I made a new "friend" who will teach me her culture/language of China. But, she's not saying if it's Manadrin/Cantonese. So, she's not really helpful at all.

These are the shoes, I currently wear all the time.
But, I really want to buy some football boots. I would love to have a Nikey one. Such as these:
And, I would love to add some Dr. Martins since it's been quite some time since I've owned a pair and they are a really good shoe brand.
Awesome boots are awesome.

While he might end combat operation. Oil takeover will still continue, yes?
OH, so you are saying he announced what we've been doing since about when he took office? Cool, thanks for letting me know pres. I guess its just official now but we've been doing this since early on 2009. Iraq has had control of the Green Zone since Jan 2009. And I was one of the last Marines out of the Anbar province in Dec 2009. Officially, the Anbar province was turned over to the Army in Jan. The US Army is an occupying force, not a combat force.
I wonder where some of you get all of this information from, wikileaks? A lot of the regions in Iraq are controlled by Iraq. The Army is there strictly for support and a show of force. The rules of engagement are so tight now that they are there to back up Iraqi forces not the other way around. Insurgents are not hitting a majority of US military targets anymore....its all civilians and iraqis. Iraq even had its own military helicopters flying missions when I was there.
Wow, very interesting.

I'm guess I'm in the same boat as other TIFers. I'm in the same pool as other with poor fathers.
I was and am and will continue to be embarrassed of the man called my father. I won't go into details on why, but it's a pity that he was such a poor father. But, this is life and one has to move forward.
I definitely plan on changing my last name. Don't know if I will go far as how men are now doing in taking their future wife last name, but who knows. It's a possibility especially if she wants to keep her name.
Glad that him being out of my and my mother and sister life have all been better for them and myself. Sure, a fatherly figure could have been real helpful especially when I was going through puberty, but I managed alright with different people throughout that time period. I would model after my friends (which were mostly jocks so this helped a lot especially when it came being tough and pushing yourself since their fathers did this to them), my Taekwondo masters (self-discipline and trying to live a good life), and as mention movies and even soaps (not the ones where the guy is usually cheating on his wife of course.)

Yes, please. :)

LOL. Whatever happen to sailing becoming the new skill?
It was never confirmed as a skill. In fact, Jagex has denied it several times.
Literally the only reason why people thought sailing would be a skill was that people thought the mage in the Runescape banner picture was sailing. Seriously.
I know it was silly. I bet those people are crying or something.

The part that REALLY BOTHERS me is that if you're on NOT their "good/safe list" they censor you (the fan-site) in-game for not complying with their demands. They've always abused the censor, but this is simply taking it to another level.
So because Zybez said no. They are now censored? Cool Move Jagex!
This "change" wasn't big anyways, so I'm glad that Tip.it is "safe" to say in-game without being scared of being muted. But I seriously hope the threat of being censored in-game doesn't make Tip.it a bad decision in the future.

@ Latinoking
its been in the rules for as long as can remember that you can't mention other websites on their forums, or in game (including fansites). The relaxing of the rules to include fansites, is nice, but the restrictions and limits they put in are just ridicules, and I feel they are asking too much from sites.
I remember once (years ago) I was having a discussion on the Official forums about some interesting way to get easy Crafting XP. I said that I read it on a fansite, and someone asked me which one. I said "I can't mention the name since its against the rules. when it comes to the name, I don't even think I'm allowed to give you a TIP about IT.
A jMod replied: That was very creative.
The post was not hidden/deleted.
Oh, I know that they for quite some time that they didn't want people going to/mentioning/suggesting to others fansites for guides, ingame history, updates etc. so they "improved" their website' knowledge base. But I was reading through the thread and someone mention how another fansite also was approach by Jagex and they refuse to compile with Jagex's orders and now their website name is censored ingame. I'm guessing that this is recent, as now if you're on the safe list...you're website name isn't censor. That's just plain dumb. You have to be on the "safe list" to not be censored now? Cool...

The Runescape Cycle - Explained in Steps
1. Updates are announced.
2. RSers build up hope for the major update, thinking it will make Runescape "alive" again.
3. Updates are released.
4. RSers make huge rants on the rants forum saying that Runescape is "dead" again.
5. Repeat from Step 1.
6. ???
7. PROFIT!!!
This is epic.

Do they really threat to mute/ban people if a player types a fansite from not the not "safe" list under the cover that they are trying to protect users of RuneScape? That's sad. Sorry, I've been away for a while.
I guess this change is fine, but Jagex really has always had controlling issues and this is just them showing them off again. To be honest their site of "safe sites" is stupid. We the users on the forum and browsers of the site already know the site is safe. Who gives a hoot if Jagex says otherwise.
I hope for not every "little thing," Tip.It adheres to every demand that Jagex Ltd. in the future might impose just to remain on the "safe" list. While I might not play World of Warcraft or something popular along those lines if Jagex were to ask to remove the thread(s), I hope Tip.it makes the right decision.

Woah, that is insane! This one picture and is this one showing the charges is just crazy. I'm glad that there are people there who are telling them to do the paperwork that is necessary. I can't believe a company would let such a thing happen to be honest.
I find it very scary that they are charging accounts that are suppose to be banned/closed. What the hell?
This is why I am a fan of using a prepaid credit card for games that require monthly memberships. If you have money to play the game, then play. But if you don't, just wait or something.
Since this is a RuneScape forum afterall; imagine if this happen to Jagex Ltd.?

What effects? Chinese men started taking your american women?
I don't care if they do. I'm just saying there's lots of competition over a single female in China now and days and how is that a good effect?
Thats a problem, but its more cultural based, what are you going to do about it?Change up the policy? Even though it seems that there simply is going to just be more interracial marriages.
Low birth rates of women in China may be to blame for some 24 million men failing to find a spouse in 2020, according to a report of the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS), cited by china.com.cn. More inter-generational marriages with wives being older than their husbands' families will emerge due to a large proportion of men born since the 1980s."People's minds have changed a lot during recent twenty years. Young couples don't want to have a second child, or just live a DINK life," said Yan Hua, sociology PHD of CASS.
Some people's preference of wanting a boy to continue the family line also leads to the abortion of girls in rural China, the report said.

I guess don't be surprised at all by a Chinese men with a Vietnamese female in the future.
Out of China's male marital angst has been born the legend of the perfect wife, who exists in a land not far away for a price not too steep. For RMB 35,000 you, too, can be the proud man standing beside a young, pretty and obedient wife, and all within three months. This promised land is Vietnam and its 'legend' has been the hot topic on almost every major Chinese website and online forum.Then, rumors that already exist in cyberspace are regurgitated and revamped, to give Chinese men the mistaken impression that Vietnam is in a constant state of upheaval, and that its male to female sex ratio is three to five. Online articles describe it as a land of poverty whose beautiful girls long for a life in China. What's more, marriage agency advertisements magnify Chinese bachelors' desires for a Vietnamese wife. They guarantee the girl will be a virgin, will marry you within three months, and if your bride runs away, they also guarantee a replacement.
Netizen Shen Me Nian Dai also thinks that Chinese girls are too hard to marry. “Chinese girls have such requirements for men, and they no longer value being hard working and kind. So men have to go to Vietnam to find women with these qualities.” Put all this together, and the legend of the perfect Vietnamese wife has not only been born, it is being nurtured.

Mixing up races in the world is okay, less racism imo. But to just think Vietnam is the place to simply get a wife now? I dunno.

While some might recommend Rosetta Stone, that might help, but it simply isn't enough. There simply has to be more to fully be at least conversational. Nothing beats having that good tutor/friend/professor teaching you the language.
If you have an iPod Touch/iPhone there's several good apps out there which are nice to have to practice while one is away. There's one called Lingopal and they have it for several languages and it has been useful to practice simply the basics while waiting for class or doing it while I'm bored.
Right now, what I know is English and Spanish (from childhood), French (four years from high school and practice on and off) and know some basic Italian and Portuguese. I talked to a Brazilian person and he tried out some Portuguese and I understood quite a bit and was happy (and this was simply from the app and him telling me that Portugese is simply Spanish with a french accent.) There's more to it, but I got a good gist. Then there's languages I simply fool around with; Chinese, Japanese, and Korean but those are very difficult. It takes time, but with effort and dedication one can succeed.

Hey China is not doing so bad, we just put the elders in retirement homes and it cut down the cost by a ton. Also because of our culture, it is very unlikely for us to have accidental pregency, hell some of us stick to the tradition of not having sex until we get married.
False. I say they are doing a huge mistake. There's a huge overpopulation of males and not enough females. The effects of this wrongdoing is already being felt now.

Was he still hacking and used unlimited health before he got stabbed?
This shouldn't be funny, but there's several potential jokes. I hope the guy's brain turns out alright.

It feels like I've lost my just about 95% of my friends (including my best friend) from high school. I just don't talk to them anymore (not even on facebook), or hang out with that 95%.
I keep making new and new friends in college, sure. But they are nothing like my friends from high school.
