Democrats have their activists, Republicans have their reactionists. Supporters of both sides can be harmful to their own party. It's pretty common to feel ashamed when listening to some ridiculous words from people actually voting like us. This video is biased in the way that it has chosen...

Let's just forget about all the 2003 folks on this forum, in the press, in the White House claiming there were : 1. links between Saddam and Al Qaeda and 2. WMD in Irak ...they naturally tend to be less aggressive on these matters nowadays... Human nature. If IMHO 2003 conservatives or pro-war...

Hello, I'm preparing a small weekend in June for a friend that is getting maried in August this year. He is, well, "kindly" anti-english so we're going to make this surprise : he's never been accross the Channel. The idea is to make him visit as much anti-french spots. Of course arriving at...

Yesterday, the two French candidates for the Presidence had the traditional debate on TV : a real debate, face to face with direct verbal confrontation. You can see a vigourous intervention of Ségolène Royal here, even if you don't understand the language of Voltaire ...

Of course this question could apply to a lot of other nationalities, but let's focus the thread on the American one. Countries build their identity on a lot of various things, but we can all agree language is one of the biggest element. Japan, Italy, England (etc...) identities have a lot to do...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6263787.stm It's pretty strange they had to film this and broadcast it. Didn't the first execution demonstrate broadcasting wasn't a good idea ? I don't think it's nice for children to know that hanging is a very precise matter and what happens when the...

Well, I never heard about this before : http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/18/world/18expat.html?ei=5090&en=5655d020c1763b3f&ex=1324098000&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=print In short : Above a certain revenue (~$90000/year) Americans living abroad get taxed by the US (despite the fact...

Yes ! I opened a thread on religion ! ;) Souvenirs from when I was a kid, some melodies stick in your brain for ever. My favorite : Little town of Bethlehem Nicely chromatic.

I don't care at all about religion. And I guess like 97% of agnostic or atheist CFC posters I accept everybody's faith. And I wouldn't doubt that a majority almost as big of religious posters would vote the same. But more and more, when I log on CFC OT and look at the thread list I leave...

In Canada, Thanksgiving is in october IIRC, so the question is not very pertinent today, but it comes to my mind today ;) With an american mother, In my family we do, but clearly, it's completly inexistent in France and a lot of other countries. So,you guys in Quebec do you celebrate it ?

In this thread a member argued that this forum wasn't the place to talk about a particular subject because it was a "gamey" forum, about a game. What makes a subject unsuitable in terms of "gamey" ? What Off Topic question doesn't fall in the "this is an internet computer game forum" gap ...

I read a lot of emotive posts about users wanting the former rais to be executed 180 000 times, etc... Some irakians want the tribunal to let the people kill Hussein. There is some kind of tasty barbarism going on in a lot of minds from Middle East to the USA (via the United Kingdom)...

Yet again another nationalist antiamerican :crazyeye: thread ;) Do you think it's crucial for these agents to have arabic skills ? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/10/AR2006101001388.html

I was thinking about a small trip in New England in late october. Some of you guys might live in the region. Can you give me info about how the Fall looks like this year, I'm having a hard time finding updated data on the web. Thanks !

We're often surprised how much left or right some are. Thanks to the November elections and debates some dem/rep oppositions occure on this board. A poster stated recently (and it's a thing we often say) that Americans Democrates were equivalents to modeterate European right and that...

There was a documentary on the French television about gangs in the US (MS13, latin kings etc...). How do you guys in the US feel about these ? Also, I found a small wikipedia article pretty strange (well, these sources of info deserves to be taken for what they are) ...

This OT forum often surprises me, but what I find the most impressive is the manichean semantic I read in a lot of posts. It mostly appears in the form of the bipolar love hate system : Bush haters, Freedom lovers... I can't figure out if this phenomenon is due to the young average age of the...

No butthead this time, since both the aggressor and the victim wont be in Paris on the pitch on Sep 6th for France - Italy qualification match for Euro 2008. Since July 9 Final (Italy 1 - 1 France and Italian PK victory) both teams played two matches : Italy 0 - 2 Croatia Italy 1 - 1...

Question is in the title. Besides, would your posts be different if they were in your native language ?
