Some information of the country of Voltaire who make the front page and provoke many heated debates on the TV screens.
1. Assault on a bus  https://twitter.com/hany91egy/status/1054855736247967744/video/1
Bamako? Abidjan ? Madagascar ? not at all gentlemen , we are in Paris. No joke.

2. a French student "from diversity" as it is allowed to be said, threatening a teacher to register his presence in class while he was absent. We can't say black , a prohibited word because of racism connotation. Incredible.
The weapon was fake but the picture is disastrous for the national education system.
a great scandal , here.


Notion of civil war has never been so much talked about lately. Enough is enough .

Here we are , Cold weather is arrived this morning ! 5°c , but no rain .
Have a great week end !

[Typhon]

I hope some kind of punishment was given to this student.

[Tyr66]

This unrecoverable thug is under arrest . I'm sure he 'll meet some policemen very soon for another offense. sad observation.
a Hashtag was created as a result of this video taken on a cell phone that has been banned in schools since early September. Already hundreds of testimonies from other teachers who have been victims of violence have been posted.
Kudos to our last 30 years politic caste . Who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind.

A couple of years ago a student at a Bridgeport Connecticut university accused two football players of rape. She later confessed that sex was consensual and she lied to protect her relationship with her boyfriend. The football players were kicked out of school but never asked to return. They are currently suing the school and the woman.

IT's a stupid bitch like this that takes away credibility from the #metoo movement and any other woman who has been sexually assaulted. Not to mention ruining someone's life in the process. Pisses me off.

Tawana Brawley anyone?

[Typhon]

^^^^^^
This is precisely why it is important to require evidence, rather than to just take someone's word.  I hope the 2 football players are awarded a substantial amount.

Because money makes everything alright again

Yes the infamous Tawany Brawley, and Al Sharpton, I remember that Bogblast.

They didn’t need physical evidence to lock up Bill Cosby.

No, but what else can you do to help people that have been wrongly accused and had their lives messed up?

I agree Typhon, the money is deserved. But getting the woman and the school to admit they fucked up would also generate some satisfaction.

For those who don't remember, this was a very ugly time:

Not very local but it deserves to be said :
fact: sun creams kill corals. Palau Islands, Micronesia, will ban the use of these creams on beaches in 2020 to save their natural heritage. Very brave .

That is very interesting...BUT what will happen then when people will get skin cancer from sunburns? One would imagine that could be a multimillion dollar law suit just waiting to happen.

I would like to see some numbers on how and with what kind of quantities the use of sun blocks does it take to actually have an effect on corals.

I'm thinking this is anything but a good thing...especially considering the already increased ammounts of skin cancers out there and especially on a tropical island where sun is around all the time...what's their solution then? Stay in during the daylight hours?

[Jack the Stripper]

That is a very bold move indeed. Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world, not in a million years would they ever consider doing something like that. I mean we love our coral reefs and all and do a lot to protect and preserve them but not to the detriment of people dying from skin cancers over it

[Tyr66]

I fully understand the drama of skin cancer, although every year public media campaigns warn of the danger of the sun, beaches are overcrowded all summer.
my opinion: if tourism means going hundreds of miles by plane to go to tropical beaches just to make the lizard all day and turn every half hour covered with a layer of cream, just to make beautiful pictures to show friends and family once back home, not at all my thing.
on the other hand, to travel while raising the head and to open the eyes, to respect and to discover the local environment., entirely agree. I 'm naive to believe that these heavenly places are not just about staying on the beaches all day long especially during the hottest hours.
Slow death of corals can't be justified by the absolute necessity of having a pretty skin browned by the sun, whatever the consequences.
The maintenance and rescue of biodiversity is far above our futile appearances.
I classify this statement about corals almost at the same level as the disappearance of the rhinoceros in favor of difficulties of erection of some men from a certain part of the world or the massacre of hundreds of sharks to which the fins are sliced ​​and shortly after rejected into the sea mutilated but alive, only to make soups.
again, just my opinion.
