Hey, same here :) (although I did register a few months back when seeing that they finally had alternative options). However, my reputation is at 1, several reasons to that : - I use it mostly for "consuming". Which by the way, is problemat

The French (and I'd say Europe in general) have a very different view on what "free speech" entails compared to the USA.

Please, don't mix up the "French" with their (our) president ... Many French people disagree with the "always-in-the-moment" laws of the president. So please, don't try to see a cultural thing where it is not.

Interesting ... now I would need 2 things to do something similar : - come up with an idea for a good startup - convince my girlfriend May I ask you if you did grow up in the area ? Or in a similar area ? My point is, for someone that grew

1. There are also private investors in France ... Are there less than in the US ? Yes for sure, but saying there is none is totally wrong (and I can give you example if necessary). 5. Protection against firing at will is different than not

I'm sorry but you keep spreading FUD ... 1. Your first point is totally moot ... go check the debt of the United States and we'll talk again. I'm not even talking about your "Soviet union" totally closed political view. 2. I'd argue that it

As someone coming from a very small village from the French countryside (probably not too different from the one that is to sell here), it does appeal to me ... As a matter of fact, I was thinking of just that the other day, coming back in

Well, the French 3-strikes law mandates that to ensure you won't be attacked in court for downloading, you have to install a monitoring software on your computer. So I think in this case, it could apply. Of course, in such a case, the devil
