it's a medical test: they look your height, your eyes, your physic etc...
After, it's finished

[Chauve-Souris]

...it's a medical test....

You don't have to worry when you are taking a physical unless the doctor says something like, "You shouldn't bother to buy any 2006 calendars...." or perhaps, "You needn't renew any of your magazine subscriptions, dear". Then you need to worry.... (erf, erf, erf)

So now Clem, what exactly is your job going to be? Are you going to be on the streets, fighting crime? Or are you going to be sitting in the precinct office tellign other people to fight crime?

I'm going to be on the streets
You have the choice in the school:
you can be in a police station of district and the job is general: you can control people, arrest somebody chen there was a burgling etc...
or, you can work in a "brigade" where the work is more specific: you can be in a criminal unity (where you search for criminals), or drugs unity, teenagers unity etc... Even if it's specific, it's always on the street. It's the inspector who make investigations
That's why I prefer do this and not be a chief of police who is always in the office

Yeah, and how about that school you got admitted to a few months ago?

The school is near Paris. You work during 18 months: one month in school, one month in an office (where you do investigations) etc...
You sleep in the school which is big: 17 "hectares" (??)

You train in sport, police investigations, shooting, self defense, etc...

The first job you rookies (newcomers) at the school are going to get is to clean the moss off of that stone railing, with toothbrushes.... (arf?)

Good one. ^_^

Speaking of walking the beat, I hear Paris is burning. What is the general feeling in Paris? What is your opinion about the whole situation? It sounds to me like the current situation has undertones similar to the 1967 Detroit and 1992 Los Angeles race riots in the USA.

PS

teenagers unity

I think you mean "gangs."

[Chauve-Souris]

...similar to the 1967 Detroit and 1992 Los Angeles race riots in the USA....

Then there's the other hypothesis, that the whole thing, from France to Australia, is being orchestrated by you-know-who. And that the European part is being managed by a command post in Bosnia.

Mmmmmmmm -- could beeeeee....

[garooob]

Yeah, I don't know about that. This has class struggle written all over it, at least from my bourgeoise perspective.

[Clem]

teenagers unity

You're right
but there's also a special unity for teenargers victims of rapes.. for example

I like the expression "Paris is burning"
You're also right: it's a bit like Los Angeles except that reasons of "emeutes" is not racial.
Last week, 2 teenagers didn't want to be control by police. So, they run and they hid in a transformer of eleectricity. They have been electrocuted
and died.
After that, the town of origin of its young people revolted against the police
force and started to burn cars. Then, all the suburbs of France made
in the same way.

My feeling? Firstly, I don't understand how this situation could be propagated in all France. I think that only the young people who take part in it know why.

That made a long time that the young people of the French suburbs
are angry because they do not find employment, because they are excluded from the society.

I also think that the media should stop speaking about it on TV.
From now on, it became a play: who will burn the most cars? Who will
pass more on TV?

I hope that that will stop but there are not many police
officers in France and this moment, they cannot be everywhere. Certain
mayors ask for the intervention of the army. But, I am not sure that
it is a good thing because that will prove the impotence of the police
force. However, these young people hate the police force and the
intervention of the army will do nothing but reinforce hatred against
the police force.

The young people want also the resignation of the Minister of Interior
Department: this one should not resign: if not, that will be the proof
that by burning cars, one obtains what one wants.

From now on, there is covers fire for the buses and the minors.

What can I say? They burned the gymnasium where I made sport, they've
also burned a college, there is a curfew in some towns and I see bus of police officers as soon as I go some share, even in the shopping centre, even at thestation. There are everywhere!

But, it is what arrives when one leaves districts and young people to
make traffics without stopping them, when justice does not hold any
more its role

It was too long and too complicated that's why I used a translator.

the population in general is exasperated and starts to denounce the authors with the police force

That's an interesting report, Clem. I don't think most ricains have heard about the electrocutions that triggered the trouble, among other things you've described..
-
You might disagree, but I am rather glad that you are not on duty on the streets yet. I would prefer that things have returned to calm before you make your debut as "SuperFuzz".

Thanks for the report....

Salût!

My name is Juan (but I don't use it too much on Internet), and I'm from Chile. I studied French for 2 years, so I can understand a lot of the site.

Here in Chile, Code Lyoko is broadcasted in the "public" channel (in Sunday morning... imagine what we have to do for see it) and in Cable (but not in Cartoon Network)

Anyway, I'll be around here.

And congrats for the page, it has become my CL bible

[Chauve-Souris]

...Anyway, I'll be around here.

WELCOME, Potter_System! It's nice to have you with us.

Chile, eh? So you must be TRI-lingual, at least, as your English is great. Very cool!

I hope you will enjoy our forum.

Welcome, Potter_System! There's no problem posting about yourself here.
3 languages is pretty good! Aside from English, I've studied French (5 years) and Japanese (3 years). I think I could get by with my French, but my Japanese is rudimentary at best.
Sunday morning? Hope you have a VCR!



Clem -
I don't really know what things are like in France. I've only read as much as the BBC has on their website. I hope things get better for you!
Are there any French news sites that are in English?

[Chauve-Souris]

On the telly, I use BBC-America to get any decent European poop. (They sort-of speak English. arf?) You might have it lurking inconspicuously in your channels list.

[garooob]

I only have regular cable and BBC America is on digital cable. But I do frequent the BBC website. Heck, I get my national news from them!

[Clem]

For french sites in english, I don't know: I can search if you want

welcome potter system

you will see this forum is brilliant
(sorry i don't speak very weel English )

[Potter_System]

Chile, eh? So you must be TRI-lingual, at least, as your English is great. Very cool!

Don't forget a few Japanese and Chilean (the dialect of Spanish here :P), and also I want to learn German and Korean. I hope in the future to help people that don't speak the same language to communicate (for example, translating 6th season of Code Lyoko )

Hope you have a VCR!

No, no VCR available. Just TV timer (at least I can sleep after). In TVN (the chilean "public" channel), they're just in the middle of 1st season so I'll have to wait a lot for second season.

:welcome: Potter System

Thanks you!

Merci ^^. Je parle français aussi, mais j'ai perdu mon vocabulaire, parce que je n'ai pas de français dans mon college aujourd'hui

(Now, time to write in English on French forum :P)

[Chauve-Souris]

...je n'ai pas de français dans mon college....

Crikey! SEVEN languages? You're going to hurt your brain doing that!
-
Anyway, stp tell us your city and college. We'd be interested to know that.

More damaged than today? NEVER!

(Some time ago I wanted to study Korean and Euskera too, but Euskera is too hard xP)

Anyway, stp tell us your city and college. We'd be interested to know that.

Pas de problème

I live in Santiago (Chile's capital city), in the middle-south [search somewhere for San Ramón; if you're lucky you'll find something ]; and I study in the Instituto Nacional, the oldest and 'living' school around here (192 years).

I like computers, music, languages and TV. I don't hate too many things, just behaviors...

Should I search for your info?

[garooob]

Wow, 7! Ever thought of working for the UN?

Maybe. I don't know how'll be things in 7 years more (if all goes ok)

[Chauve-Souris]

Nah, I am colossally dull -- a degree in Zology and another in Electrical Engineering. (Big deal....)

When I first became interested in Code Lyoko I stumbled upon yumi2004 and liked it so much I decided to dust off my minuscule high-school français (which turned out to be useless) and participate -- one of my better decisions. Code Lyoko and yumi2004 are both pretty great!
