Who is having children? That would be my question.

The most recent statistics I was able to find are from 2004, when the total birth rate in France was 1.9. Perhaps this is why people speak of a ba ...

From where I sit, in my apartment in a Paris suburb, these concerns seem overblown. First, some caveats. The statistic I found on France's current birth rate is 2.02 children per women. There really ...

I saw this whole thing differently. I was under the impression that a lot of Taos' appeal as a tourist destination was its history, specifically its cultural heratige, including a recently confirmed D ...

There is no excuse for Polanski and the sorry individuals who try to come up with legal reasons as to why he shouldn't be extradited to the US. Hell, we extradite "drug dealers" and people w ...

The undisputable fact is that were Polanski a U.S. citizen holding no other citizenship he would have not been able to live conspicuously anywhere. There has been an interpol alert on him since he fle ...

"Something tells me Spike Lee would not have been allowed to chill in France for the last three decades had he admitted to having sex with a 13-year-old.....Roman Polanski is very much loved by t ...

I think opposition to Barack Obama and his policies is a very complex, multi-faceted phenomenon. There are those who oppose him and his policies because they have carefully considered them, and they ...

I thought Troy Polamalu was Samoan?

If you look at modern Egyptian Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA haplotypes, they are a mix of haplotypes typically found in sub-saharan Africa, those typically found in Europe/west Asia, and ones that are ...

Yet Gates's fit of pique somehow became cause for arrest. I can't prove that if the Big Cheese in question had been a famous, brilliant Harvard professor who happened to be white -- say, presidential ...

Crowley's police report contradicts the caller's statement. That's a problem.

I also posted in the other Gates incident forum that there was apparently a third woman involved who may have spoken ...

Also, the person who called 911 was apparently not the person who actually witnessed the forced entry.

2. The audio tape, which I posted a link to, demolishes the claims made in this thread that th ...

The bottom line for me is that Gates may have behaved poorly, but he did not break any laws. Therefore, the choice to arrest him was based an ego-driven power trip that cops on American streets are no ...

The only racism I see in any of this is the original call to police. Based on my own experience and judgment, I think it is less likely that the cops would have been called if it was an older "wh ...

I think that you may have mis-read the statement. Let me highlight the name of the country

I do not believe I misread the statement. The part of the article you placed in the post referenced:

In France, where private, unlicensed gun ownership is also prohibited, it is not true

I will readily admit that my source for that statement was from my own perception from li ...

Because such self-defense events are not newsworthy, many people never hear of them and think that deadly weapons in the hands of civilians are dangerous. Few know that armed civilians confronting per ...

Not really true. In Spain "Latinos" are the peoples from the Lazio (a.k.a Latium), which is a region of Italy, and the adjective "latino" is used to denote all things coming from t ...

Anyone living outside of Africa today is a survivor or a descendant of survivors of the African diaspora, and a significant portion of those living in Africa are as well.
