  Jan 21 2013: Hi Juli,
  
  I wish I met you earlier :)
  
  " When you truly grasp your essence you will be humble ", This is exactly what I'm looking for and haven't found it yet, grasp my essence. To Be Honest, I don't know how or from where to start this, don't know if I'll find it and reach it than, I know I can seek help from others, read books or so, but there one thing that I'm sure of, I must do it by my own and find it by myself, some say this is the quest of our life !
  
  I don't think this a couple's love problem, this concerns me, and only me Juliette, Usually I never talk about this to anyone, even for my closest friends whom I really trust, a girl I love is classified under "Top Secret" for me, may sound stupid for some, but I don't care, this is the first girl I ever approached, I was 21 (last year). So I can tell and assure you that you are special and I felt comfortable talking to you, that's why I asked you.
  
  Thanks again Juliette, take care. good night :) ( it's 22:20 here )
  
  PS: Your students are very lucky to have you.

  Jan 19 2013: a heart-felt recognition ? That's just nice because you seem to an honest person and I can feel that you mean it and this brings more meaning to the prize :)
  
  Do you think that this world will know peace one day ? I am not being pessimist, but with all this greed in the world it just seems to be a very hard cause and a long journey, but we have to try anyway.
  
  Some people would not start an idea like this, thinking that this is not going to change anything and this reminded me a story that I want to share with you :
  
  " One day, says the legend, there was a huge forest fire. From all the terrified animals, only the little Hummingbird makes an action, and splits on the fire. Annoyed, the Armadillo says to him :
  " Hummingbird ! this is useless ! "
  "I know, but I do my part ".
  
  
  You keep on the good work Jul ;) and Thanks again.

  Jan 17 2013: Do i speak french ? I only studied it for 9 years in school, after that I studied everything in the university in French for 4 years, and this is sad :( how our governmental responsibles replaced our beautiful language with another one to use in Universities !
  
  Anyway, get back to work;
  In french you can say " We love you " using two forms
  1. Nous vous aimons. ( nous = we / vous = you (plural) / aimons = the verb " aimer" (to love) in present simple ).
  
  2. On vous aime. ( on = Pronoun of the third person " il " (he).
  
  The first form is more precise because " Nous " means exactly " we " and represents exactly the persons who are talking, in your case you and your family.
  The second form is kind of more general, the pronoun " On " is used to indicate one or lot of indefinite persons, it's used in the place of "Nous " and in other places.
  
  I think you can put " Nous vous aimons " on your list.
  
  Hope you disentangle yourself from your language confusion quickly :)

  but Never mind, the truth is there for those who want to see it ! Why are we stuck with this flag while there are hundreds of other evidences about Israel's terrorism against Palestinians ? !

  Jan 16 2013: Hi Jul,
  I think the right thing to say depends on who you are talking to, in your idea you said you want to say "we love you" to people who come to your home and i suggest they're a lot so you say " Nouhiboukoum ". I guess this the right thing, I thought you really have a son and a daughter :)
  
  When I see Maz I will tell him about the copyrights and ask him if he wants to use them, with MONEY of course :p Quick Money for us :D
  
  PS : I liked you first reply better, you edit a lot XD

• A reply on Conversation: What do you think about the Israel and Gaza war?

  Jan 16 2013: You can check this out, this is only the beginning i guess, More supporting evidences can be found by reading history, there are things you can never find unless if you read history written by arabs but you can say that this is not true ! this is something like me trying to tell a christian that Jesus is not the son of god, but he has a book that says that Jesus is god's son and I have a book who says that Jesus is the God's Prophet ! Or me trying to convince you that there is a creator of this universe and you and everything because I read it on a book and learnt it when I was a child,
  this is not about what to believe, this is about what we want to believe !

  Jan 14 2013: I don't know why you have put " Nouhiboukouma " on the list ! you say that when you're talking to two people, only two ! I don't know if you got it right :)
  
  LOL, this was funny, thanks :D And yes, it's true, I think that we are obsessed about cheeks lol
  Actually I'm from Algeria which has different traditions from the Middle Eastern countries as we're not arabs, or we weren't ......... History ! but we do share the " Cheeks Obsession ". Mostly, we kiss two times or four on the cheek while greeting someone we haven't seen for a while and this depends on the person, some people you need to cheek kiss them once you don't meet for few days or a week, some you never kiss them, you just hand shake, but we have some occasion where everybody kisses everyone, like in the two "Eids", they're like your christmass maybe, any way; we don't really kiss on the cheek, we just put the cheek on the cheek, when it comes to women we kiss generally ( but not all women ! women from family and they're specific, like mother, aunt, sister and so ... ). Personally I have a friend who cheek kisses me and tight-hug me every day he sees me, sometimes he forgets he saw me earlier that day, so I receive another Kisses and Hugs XD
  Do you like our traditions Juliette ? :p
  Sorry, I talk a lot, and this is not a tradition lol.

  Jan 14 2013: @Krisztián Pintér ;
  To be honest, no ! there are lot of sources, I tried to avoid the arabs' forums because they all say the same thing, so I did my researches in english and french to try to have multiple versions of the same story, are you sure of yours ? Mine ( my point here ) says that the flag "secretly" represents the desire of Jews to conquer all of the land between the Nile and Euphrates rivers, which would involve conquering and ruling over much of Egypt, all of Jordan, and some of Syria and Iraq.
  They say it's an allegation but nothing insures the inverse !!! This is one of the meanings, as you picked one of the meanings, why have you chosen to say that the star is the star of david ? are you sure from the source ? cause it means a lot of other things. And to be honest and open, anything that comes from the state of Israel ( this is called official information ) is unbelievable to me.
