Sunday 01/11 in front of the French embassy, 12:30-13:30, gathering for Freedom (even non French invited, it's a worldwide problem) http://www.embafrancia-argentina.org/Agrupamiento-republicano-el

?? I'm 100% against the death penalty but what are you talking about? The two brothers had already coldly murdered civilians, had an RPG, AK-47s, etc.? They manage to kill both while the hostage was freed unwounded... Very nice job as usual from the GIGN

That's what we say in France (although the guys from the police squad, the RAID, are great too). Here the GIGN (Gendarmerie = military) assault on a plane (4 terrorists, +100 hostages). Terrorists wanted to crash the plane into the Eiffel tower (7 years before 911...). No hostage was killed...

Wait, I watch the video of the dancing girl again. OK, wow, my purpose is to understand the best possible way what's really happening. (who controls the medias, who are the local producers of toilet paper/soap/etc. and what are they doing and why are they doing what they do, etc.)

Is there a good expat forum about Venezuela? (like ours: many posts, diverse views, etc.)

Re: Serafina I know I'm likely too cheap (and passive... Should search for new clients, charge more, work less), but how would a novice translator find a 0.09$ job? - ProZ = very unlikely - Contacting directely online agencies = very tricky with no XP - Contacting B&M agencies = sounds tricky...

For as long as Whiskas can be found... meeeooowwww B)

Things are turning wild in Paris: Two hostage situations Various AK47 shootings

I heard Ceviche already packed to go there? Is that true?

Really sad that the New York Times, the New York Daily News, Reuters & Associated press didn't dare to publish the drawing showing Mahomet... Terrorists 1 = Freedom of exp<b></b>ression 0

Rather Persian JP, not Arab

I like both Houellebecq & Zemmour, they ask the right questions. Here a debate between Zemmour & Tariq Ramadan (brilliant scholar,quite dangerous too with a double sided speech) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb6-lXojr4w

Morroco is quite an authoritative power, but it's close from being a democracy. I can also see Tunisia become a democracy (recent democratic elections, Tunisians reject Islamism). But it's true that overall, most Muslim countries are far from being democracies.

Charlie Hebdo, the satirical newspaper that got attacked

Some of them are murderers (Baruch Goldstein, Yiigal Amir, etc.), but it's true that Jews have mostly been victims over the centuries. The Extreme Right gaining more & more weight in Israel is quite worrying though, even for Israel (Extreme Right never produces anything good on the long term)...

One the two guys (in 2004) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoRjFCP5spE

Also the very passive attitude of Western countries when Muslims were eliminated in former Yugoslavia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_Genocide

http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/0919/p12s2-woeu.html Or the support in favor of Israel by US Christians (which probably motivated partly GWB), with the belief Jews will ultimately convert to Christianity, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism Or some of the US soldiers who had...
