Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Mean"

sites = plural of site site (noun) = place used for something

Well, that is an unusual usage. Normally the expression is "cast the first stone" which comes from a translation in the Bible and means "quick to blame". However, in this case, it is clearly meant figuratively as in, "He threw this stone into the pond and now everyone can see it makes ripples". So, it means either something like, - "David Cameron has disturbed the status quo." - "David Cameron wants to send a message or make others see he is serious".

I'm sorry I'm not entirely sure how to explain this properly. Using "because" makes the sentence sound very final and states it like a fact "because people are ambitious they are less happy", so maybe the author chose not to use that word because he's arguing something rather than stating a fact. It's hard to tell in just the one sentence what's going on in this article. He seems to be assuming that in general people would think ambitious people are happier because they are generally more successful in life and he's arguing that this is not entirely true. I don't know if this is helpful at all, sorry if I've just confused you further I'm just not sure what you're trying to understand.

They're basically the same thing. "I didn't mean it like that" is usually used when someone else interprets what you said in a way different to what you meant. E.g. You might have said "You look different" and your friend might take that as meaning that you think she's become fatter and say "Are you saying I've gotten fatter?". Here you can say "I didn't mean it like that." "I didn't mean it that way" is used maybe when you've said something that can actually mean more than one thing and someone else interprets it as the other meaning. E.g. If you really admire someone, you might say "I love him/her". The listener might interpret that as you loving them in a romantic way. If that's not what you meant, you can say "Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I meant I really admire them." Basically though, you can use either and it really won't make a difference at all, so don't stress about the difference! :)

I would always use a full stop, especially in writing.

I agree with belthazar, wicked is more like saying "evil" or something really bad!! However, in slang, wicked also means "amazing, fantastic, the best" or something along those lines. e.g.: Woow dude, that was sick/wicked!

A walk BY the river = you are walking next to the river, alongside it, maybe close enough that you are walking on the riverbank. Not just that you can see the river from where you are--more that you are close to it. A walk TO the river = the river is the destination or endpoint of your walk. ("Where are you going?" "(I'm going) To the river." So, you could use either "by" or "to," depending on what you want to convey.

It sounds natural, but if you say "around you" it sounds like you're talking about the people she spends time with. You could say "you look way cuter than the girls around here," or even "around town" is okay too.
