I can use body language, if you don't mind

Whatever

[victor_im]

who can explain meaning of this piece?

Ev'ry one's got something
And they're out tryin' to get some more
They got something to get up for
Well I ain't about to
Nothin's gonna happen
Nothin's gonna change
Baby, it's so hard
Living without you

lines 3-4
it seems kind of idiomatic expressions

буду учить вас инглишу по интернету. гугль рулит

get up for - to be prepared, ready for something
I aint about to = "it is not about me / not concerning me" (americanism)

The Social Network Official Trailer

[JustiFicatoR]

Amusingly, several weeks ago there was special program at TV channel РБК about market of social networks in thematical program Сфера интересов.

Социальные сети: монетизация успеха
Количество пользователей социальных сетей растет в геометрической прогрессии. Ежедневно миллионы людей общаются в интернете. Создатели наиболее популярных проектов заработали сотни миллионов долларов на своих "детищах", и сегодня известны на весь мир. Однако не все сети настолько успешны, а многие и вовсе убыточны, ведь затраты на создание и поддержание таких сервисов велики. В чем секрет успеха Facebook и Одноклассников? На чем и как зарабатывают социальные сервисы? Как создать виртуальный мир, который приносит реальную прибыль?

Well, I understand that your English is not perfect but can you at least try not to make so many mistakes? You have to work hard to improve your English and you can start doing it here. (find out the difference between use of adjectives and adverbs)

Waiting for a Man or Woman to Call (Матиола)

не понял смысла этой темы. про секс по телефону что ли?

Your attitude to extreme sports (Матиола) - very hot Theme.

не уверен что большинство из присутствуюших "в теме". о чем говорить?
можно еще "ваше отношение к космическому туризму" обсудить

>Do U think that previous generation was better than current young generation? (Матиола)

ответ можно выразить в двух словах - да/нет. чего тут обсуждать?

>What would be your 'perfect' occupation/job ? (victor_im) - it`s a painful Theme for a lof of peoples.

зато какая практически полезная

>Social networks. All "for and against"... (Beeter)
гуд

>A place to travel to! (let's find out our geo scopes!) (Beeter)
по моему было уже на 2-й или 3-й встрече в итал.квартале

well...I'll try to explain...especially for You, Victor...
The first topic Waiting for a Man or Woman to Call is something like "почему он не звонит", about stereotypes, relationship and "who should call first: man or woman"....Do You need detailed explanation??

Extreme sports. Если никто из нас не занимаемся экстрим спортом(хотя...может, кто-то и занимается!!), это не значит, что по этой теме не о чём говорить.Я например, недавно узнала и увидела, что такое BASE jumping. I was impressed. I saw such things only in my dreams!! and I'm interested in it...

Do U think that previous generation was better than current young generation? well..."ответ можно выразить в двух словах - да/нет. чего тут обсуждать?" - it can be said almost about any topic...
We can talk about differences in system of values, different interests, strengths and weaknesses, erudition, behaviour patterns...and many other aspects....

But I can assume that these topics aren't interesting for others...so they can choose another topics for discussing...

Но дело здесь не в том, что в этих темах НЕЧЕГО обсуждать, а в том, ИНТЕРЕСНО ли это обсуждать участникам клуба...
И, если эти темы не особо актуальны для тебя, то ты всегда можешь предложить другие, которые будут актуальны абсолютно для всех... не так ли?

[JustiFicatoR]

Матиола права - дело не в том, что НЕЧЕГО, дело ХОТЯТ ли? То есть в желании и интересе.
Пишу на русском, занят и не хочу напрягаться с англеем щяс. )))

[Матиола]

I support the topic "social networks")))

Phone calls is too narrow theme
I'd extend it to something like "Initiative in relationship. First step. Should modern women be more active? "

I watched film about that and was on competitions as a spectator. Quite interesting and spectacular from the side. But i'd never try this suicide-like act myself
but I tried rock climbing, and (especially exciting) "rope park" attractions. I really enjoyed that, and want to try more.
for those who don't know what is "rope park" it is new adventure , popular in many countries (and now it exists in major cities of Ukraine too )
the park consist from courses(trails) , containing physical "obstacles" , which participants must pass through.
Especially it is exciting for kids

Now it's more understandable.

The point is not that topics are boring, but not very clear what to talk about. You can add short explanation , as I see above.

[victor_im]

One more theme for the future

Rules, regulations, instructions. Do you always follow them, or only when it's convenient/comfortable to you ?
Traffic rules, work instructions, etc. Some stupid rules.
-Do you cross street on red light, when there is no cars in proximity
-Do you smoke in non-smoking areas?
-Do you drink beer on the street ?
-What do you think about person, who take off his boots/shoes , while sitting in the school or office ?
Stupid and funny laws in USA, do you know why they are exist?

I completely agree! We can extend this topic! but it should be "Initiative in relationship. First step. Should modern MEN be more active? "
