Hi mates

[Littlefoot]

One more thing, I have a goal in life; to find a way to cure cancer, or if you like, destroy it. I belive it's possible.

Welcome to the GOF littlefoot4ever. Is nice to have you here. Feel free to make your posts and enjoy. Very interesting and noble goal you have. This world needs people like you. "Hope is the key and work hard"

[Lillefot]

LBT-it's amazing

I can see we'll get along fine littlefoot4ever. Welcome to the GoF!

 

Hehe, I'd guess so. I see you like Final Fantasy eh? Then we have something in common! I bought FFXII today on my PS3, terrible resolution on my HD-TV but still, what a game.

A cure for cancer would be lovely! But...I'd be more excited if it was a cure for Alzimers   . Then my great grandmother could have her memories and have something to look back on when she finally kicks the bucket  :cry2

Yeah...I guess cancer's not the cause of all suffering... I hope that Alzeimers will be cured as well. Sorry about your grandmother...

I'm studying English too (with German as my native tongue) and history is my second subject.

I see, that's great!
Do you get to work much on grammar? We do...ALOT.
Since we are going to do the Cambridge exams, our teacher gives us lot to work on, It's crazy!

History! Great subject! I study it to, currently I'm doing some work on the Inca empire.

w00t Scandinavia!

Welcome to GoF!

By the way, I like your goal. I would study biochemistry. It would help you achieve your goal.

Yep, yep yep. Biochemistry it is

One more thing, I have a goal in life; to find a way to cure cancer, or if you like, destroy it. I belive it's possible.

A very dear aunt of mine currently recovers from a chemotherapy she had to undergo. Luckily her cancer was discovered in an early state and it was what they refer to as "benign" cancer so she will make full recovery.
Looking at all the hardships she had to endure because of this "benign" cancer the idea of a malignant case of cancer is really terrifying. littlefoot4ever, you have set yourself a high, but very important goal in live and the first thing it takes to do something supposedly impossible is to give it a try. I wish you all the success that there can be

Well, I think no one can do it ALONE.
What I wanna do is being a part of an research team, and work with it.
The reason? I hate that people have to die early. It's unfair...

Besides, i want to do something that has some meaning and goal. I don't think I could work so well otherwise.

Hello littlefoot4ever. welcome to the forum. Finding a cure for caner is a truly noble goal. My uncle passed away in 2006 fromm brain cancer..so cancer has touched my life in that regard.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that... My feelings are with you.

[Lillefot]

Have you actually thought up any ideas for combating cancer? Or are you focusing on aquiring the skills?

I'd guess I'd say both

Thanks mate

[Lillefot]

Oh my, so many answers in so little time. That was a flabbergast, lol.
Thank you all for your warm welcome!

And, I know that curing cancer could be concideredas a noble goal, but I'ts just really something I want to do.
All people in the world have the right to live long, wonderfull lives. No families have to lose a member because of that...  :angry:

And biology, medicine amd global problems interessts me, that's why.  :

I am convinced, you're all a jolly bunch of people!  

Just gonna update my profile with avatars and msn and such bla bla bla, and I'll be up and going. I see ya all later!  

L goes B goes T goes amazing

Woa... just the other day I said:

Woa... never seen a triple post before.

This...is an...octavuple(?) post... I would advise you that this type of thing is generally frowned upon in forums, although you can get away with quite a bit here, seeing as we're all friendly.

And yes, I do love Final Fantasy. VII is my definate favourite, although I've only got VI-X (and X-2 actually, although I try too think about that game as little as possible...).

Again, I hope you stick around. It's quite sad to see someone open a welcome topic, and then drift off into the ether...

EDIT: Now you've nonuple (novulple?) posted...

What those that mean?

[Clawandfang]

A double post is when you post twice without anybody else posting in-between your posts. So a novuple (yes, I made that up from Latin- Novem (nine)) post is when you post nine times in a row.
Hope that helps.

[Lillefot]

Ah, okay.
I'm sorry if this caused trouble.
I just got more anwers than I'd expected, why I made several post I dont know.
And I am worthless when it comes to introduce myself. First introduction gives you the picture of the person, right?
And now I fear that all of you consider me as braging about my goals.
Please, that was not my purpose! I am absolutly no better person than anyone else.

A double post is when you post twice without anybody else posting in-between your posts.

The theory is that you can edit your last post instead of making a new one, keeping the boards cleaner.  No big deal.  Even I double and triple-post sometimes (with the intention of updating the last activity time on that topic, bringing it back to public attention so the latest update doesn't go unnoticed).

Try not to do it too much but it's no big deal if you have a few posts in a row around here.

In this case littlefoot4ever, you could have clicked the "edit" button next to your first post and put in the rest of the messages in to that one single post, instead of posting a little bit in each post.

And now I fear that all of you consider me as braging about my goals.
Please, that was not my purpose! I am absolutly no better person than anyone else.

Bragging? B) Not at all, mate!  Don't worry about it.  

[Lillefot]

Thanks, I feel more reliefed now.

[Mornai]

Everyone makes mistakes!
Just follow Action9000's advice and you'll be fine.

I see, that's great!

History! Great subject! I study it to, currently I'm doing some work on the Inca empire.

There were obligatory grammar classes during the first two semesters at the university. Though those classes were certainly something I had to work hard to manage I really feel they have done me a lot of good. I'm not exactly a "grammar fan" (putting it mildly) but those classes were much more aimed at the practical use of English than some linguistic classes were which I had to attend in the same semesters. I kept the reader of my grammar classes and it is a really handy work of reference. There are some tasks in that reader where even native English speakers might have to think about which is the right form to use in some sentence.
Meanwhile however I could pick my major fields of study (choosing between linguistics, literature, cultural studies, and special languages) and focused mainly on cultural studies.
You're writing about the Inca now? That's an interesting topic. It is such a pity how much was lost with the destruction of this fascinating civilization. Their skills in building roads and bridges easily matched the abilities of the ancient Romans, with the difference that most of the Roman roads are not built in as difficult terrain as the Andes mountains. Their system of communication with rested message runners relieving each other every few miles was probably about as fast as it could have been without any mounts or vehicles. From what I read in one book they even found mumies which had plates of silver inserted into holes in their skull bones and those silver plates had coadunated with the surrounding tissue, suggesting that the Inca's (unable to work with any metal harder than bronze) were capable of conducting sucessful skull surgery that is complex even today.
Do you have to write about the Inca in English or in Swedish?

I know, I'm late, but I'm here. Welcome to the Gang of Five.

Hey Malte,
Intresting... Do you get to learn AM english or brittish?
My class's learning brittish english; however, I think that AM english is more 'relaxed'.
And, I get to work with the Incas in swedish, now focusing on their ancestors, the Nasca. I guess that you've heard of them as well
