Is Australia Really That Alcoholic Place?
Well, you know that song where they sing: "I come from a land down under, where beer does flow and men chunder"...
And recently I've watched that Aussie film called "Ruben Guthrie" which deals with alcoholism and one of the characters calls Australia an "Alcoholic Country".
Is it really like that? Do Aussies drink much?

2 AnswersWords & Wordplay6 years agoGerund as Descriptive/Explanatory Parenthesis?
I think I've read such sentences many times, but I can't understand if they are grammatically correct.
For example:
1. David wearing blue t-shirt goes to school.
2. Anna singing an anthem walks in the street.
"wearing blue t-shirt" and "singing an anthem" function as descriptive things here, right?
But is it correct way of talking?
Should I write commas before and after that description?

5 AnswersWords & Wordplay7 years agoHelp Me Find This Movie, Please?
I am almost sure this is a French film. It is a costume drama about young couple. The boy is so handsome, I think he is kind of blonde. I remember the last scenes from movie: The boy is wounded and bleeds but he rides the horse to the house. He comes in that house where her lover waits and meets him. People bring the boy down from the horse and then he is in the room, dying on the bed. His lover goes into room, seats on him with her beautiful dress and have final sex, the boy dies after sex. It must be a French film.
2 AnswersMovies8 years agoPlease Help Me Find That Movie! Please!?
Okay, so I have been thinking about that movie for year and a half. It was on tv on a channel called Eurocinema. But I think it was more like Asian film. My dad was watching it and as I went into the room there was a final scene - I remember an Asian couple in subway train, there were bright colours, they were watching each other so desperately, especially a girl. My dad said like: Oh they are so stupid, they drank something because they wanted to live forever... I don't know if this is exactly true, I have thought so much about that film, then I thought it could be Wong Kar Wai's "2046", but I watched it and it was not that film. My dad could be wrong maybe. I have to see Asian films "Three Times" and "Millennium Mambo" - maybe I can find it. But please help me find it - Asian, Live-Forever movie about couple's love.
2 AnswersMovies8 years agoWhy Does Night Bring Soft Melancholic Feelings?
Do you feel it too? when night falls and I turn the light off my mind begins to wander somewhere else. I begin to think about existential things in a little sad way (although I often think about it). But night always brings some sense of melancholy and sometimes troubled thoughts too, also if you can hear the sound of night, like noise of crickets and so on... and you become more real with yourself. And it's like you are who you are.

9 AnswersPsychology8 years agoWish to Be in the League of People Who Are out of Your League?
When you see some people and you want to have a lifestyle like them, mood like them, not-complicated thoughts like them, to laugh and take everything so easy like them, chances that they have... And then you want to be just like them and to be in their league but you realise that you are out of their league and you are not setisfied with who you are but you cannot change and that sucks. And then you are stuck in the middle and you are confused. It's like your mind, personality and understanding is against your lifestyle, environment where you were born and what you actually are at the moment.

3 AnswersSkin Conditions8 years agoWouldn't People Be Bored of Eternal Life?
Every religion says in their own ways that eternity exists. But when you reach eternity then what? wouldn't a person be bored of living an eternal life? in this life we study, work, have relationships and time after time we somehow get ready for death. But after death, if a person lives in eternal heaven and even if it is great place to live, what will be his/her motivation or goal? just lying on the green grass in the garden of eden and then what? even if it is a pleasure it must be strange to be like that forever in eternity... ?
