as the phrase means to often drop or break things because you move awkwardly or roughly. Then what did you mean by saying that? That we are breaking everything around and caring nothing, right? Am I following you right?

What do we have in a china shop? )) Peper, red peper, a lots of red peper, so i can predict that he meant bull's nervous breakdown in a sec. he sees it

Just imagine telling to your daughter, will you?

When I've my children some day, I really hope, they'll have a right attitude & understanding of this fairy tale & likewise literature but I also admit that fact that there's a vital need to monitor & to filter all printed stuff before commending it for your own children.

I guess Nana is the most suitable person to do this job)) Her inglish is on a quiet high level.

Yeah, I'm positive Nana is a number one but of course there're some other connoisseurs of English language over here who can help Legal Eagle. I'd be delighted to be useful if there be any need in my assistance.

Like they say: united we stand, divided we fall!

Ibra,
Iabok and I tried to fool around a little and found idioms interesting to examine. I have a bad habit to turn everything into a serious discussion, I hope he will stop me.
As for the paper - I will find time for it. the list of the best is never-ending. I am personally a great fan of Hermit' English here. He has such a charming hand waving from underground! Hi, Hermit!
Erzu,
Kids are so sensitive, sometimes they get very sad about the fairy tales heroes - little girls who die.Isn't childhood a time of happy ends? Believe me they see a lot of drama around.

Nana, I have spenty of time
but if I want to be sure I'm on a good track I have to send my proof version to the professor before 16 february
Now, I have to force myself and write a paper about anything for my Legal English course, so I might as well use the same topic als for legal paper
God knows why I signed up for it, as if I dont have others things to do

everyone asks for written tasks and I hate writing, not really, its just I must prepare myself, to find a muse, to stop thinking about problems before writing something
I cant do it just like that like any normal person does

(and someone predicted that I would become a writer

)

I have exam on legal english on Thursday, have to learn all the words (about 500) and grammar stuff and if I pass it I can mention that on my CV, which, i think is absurd, because the course was terrible, and we havent learnd much from it, waste of time and money
mais bon, ce la vie

if you write yu can also talk on that language

but depends on with whom you are talking-if I'm talking with native english-language speaker I see that my speach and my english improove dramatically, but if I'm talking with someone like me I begin making a lot of mistakes and loose my sentence

Nana Namoradze · 16.12.2008, 16:25

Legal,

We were all students once, so we sort of cheated a little

)) There are several ways of attracting Muse

) Can you share a title of yout topic to us? And write me where do you study, because there are institutions with which you cannot "joke". I have one idea...

Legal Eagle · 16.12.2008, 23:01

Nana, below I sent beginning of my paper for Thursday, I need to use min.1000 words, but I have only 525, do you have any ideas involving many words?

I'm studying law, but I need this paper for my course of legal English, (it is not obligatory course, there are no strict rules, so I can cheat a little

)
I presume there are a lot of mistakes in my text, so I will be grateful if you and everyone else who is willing to help point them out for me.any ideas for continuation are welcome

Conflict in Georgia: Russian intervention.
On August 7 a short war erupted between Georgia and Russia taking hundreds of lives and causing severe damage to both sides. It is yet to be clarified which side started the violence on that particular day, but the fact that Russian tanks started rolling into the country just minutes after the conflict bursted out/ has began lead to conclusion that Russia was long prepared for the war.
On Friday august 7th, while the whole world was watching spectacular opening of Olympic games, Russia invaded Georgia to “defend its citizens against the genocide.” From the first minutes it said that already 1200 Ossetians had been killed by Georgians, but they provided no proof to that. Knowing Russia from personal experience, I was amazed that they didn’t show any footages of dead people, I expected they would kill 1200 Ossetians themselves and pinch the blame on Georgians, but somehow it didn’t happen, thanks to God, all we heard was numbers.
Russia invaded Georgia with the speed of locusts. Its forces destroyed what they could, burned down national reservation park, blew up main railway connection with Tbilisi, occupied and destroyed Poti port, which, by the way, has nothing to do with Abkhazia and south Ossetia. I think their goal was to cause as much damage as they can while the world was still watching the Olympic Games. The timing was perfect for Russia. The Olympic Games, not somewhere else, but in the communist China was a big event for the world. USA was busy with elections, USA President Mr.Bush could not help Georgia militarily, his party wanted McCain to win, they wouldn’t dare to undertake any actions that would cause them to loose the elections.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Mr. Lavrov stated that Russian actions were in complete accordance with international law and with article 51 of United Nations Charter. The big questions if it is truth.
Article 2 of the Un charter prohibits the use of force, however there is one exception to the prohibition on the use of force that is accepted beyond all doubt as part of customary international law: that of self-defence.
Article 51 of UN Charter states that ,”Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain inter- national peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security”.
According to this article, the right to self-defence only arises “if an armed attack occurs’. Its is clear that such an attack has occurred, but against Georgia. So, it is Georgia that exercised its right to self-defence and not Russia. Russia has intruded with its tanks on foreign territory, violating article 2 UN Charter , violating territorial integrity of Georgia.
