  1. Could be.  There's quite a good book on this story, which will be enough for me.

  2. I got a hardcover copy of this book on the subject ASAP.  Very interesting and I've read it a few times.

  6. Kasper Sørensen I don't think a lot of people are willing to accept that plants are sentient.

  7. I am in France now and children born here of one or both parents not French are not French.  The child can decide at 18 which citizenship it prefers.  It isn't automatic.  I had to go through years of trials to become French, as an American.  My life in the USA was untenable.  It has been quite a journey and a trial.

  8. civilian That's very interesting.  I still know Americans with no Soc Sec number, and neither of my parents had birth certificates.  My own American birth certificate was incomplete -- I guess they were busy and didn't feel the time and stuff was important.  It drove the French nuts and I really couldn't make them grasp such a thing.

  9. I don't feel too bad about eating an animal which is not endangered.  Interesting look from that woman at the dog meat meal table to the presenter.

  11. My husband here in Paris has a cousin, mixed blood, who was a skateboard star and had sponsors.  He immediately went to drugs and blew it all.  I started skateboarding in the USA around 1965.  I don't know why people think this sort of thing will be a longterm career.  I enjoyed NYC for 17 years and promoted a zine called DON'T SKATE when I did NYC radio.

  15. Ashes Mandalay Good, you can read. If you feel I'm condescending, finey fine.

  16. Ashes Mandalay I haven't told anyone to shut up.  I keep saying okay, finey fine.

  17. Are you a journalist?

  18. Tj Andersen If you are not a journalist, how can you judge?  I am a journalist and have been since '75.  It is relevent.

  19. Tj Andersen Your comment was unqualified.  I'm not saying it's invalid.  Unqualified.

  20. Tj Andersen My point is that you certainly are obtuse.

  21. Tj Andersen The obtuse do fail to see.

  22. ***** Well, that at least is an on-point answer, thank you.  I did require vetting in order to get my press passes and wire service activity access, on three continents.  Thank you for your opinion, your view.

  23. Rui Nation So be it.  My choice to be in twat-land.

  24. walterbennetsen Fine.  I don't understand your statement, but fine.  I don't need to.  Be well.

  25. Rui Nation Ha ha ha ha ha!!  My stuff is up on YT and Dailymotion, stuff for the past four years!!!  Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!  If you want to see my CV (it's in French, but you'll recognize the years and names and titles), send me yours and I'll send you mine.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

  26. Aaron Chartier You don't have to finish your journalism studies and get a diploma to work as a journalist -- particularly abroad.  Diplomas and professional certifications, licenses, do not export.  Not for doctors, nurses, electricians, accountants, engineers, et c.  You can obtain an equivalency but it still isn't accepted -- you have to learn the new language, the legal system, the administration, the methods, and obtain further certification in the new country.  You can legally be an unpaid intern abroad for awhile.  In some places.  If you're a teacher in one country, okay, but it doesn't transfer (easily) to another country.  (I know -- I was a registered representative in the USA -- I could work in European and Asian "Wall Street" but wasn't registered -- I've been a visiting professor at university level in Europe, et c.  I had full citizenship in the new country, however, and was capable in the new language, had a good CV in their language, et c.)  I did fine studying journalism formally but couldn't see why I ought to finish for the diploma, since I was already working, and I really didn't get much out of the classes.  I got honors grades, but so what?  So, I started in the USA at age 18, 19.  In order for me to work in Europe, I can now, because I am a full EU citizen.  My pay level in France will be limited, however, by my level of FRENCH education.  That is how France works.  You need a two-year diploma here to be a real restaurant worker, waiter, day care employee, et c.  They do find it good if you have experience elsewhere -- very good -- but you're not fully up to speed until THEY say so.  If you'd like to hear me on Radio France from '13, the clip is up on Dailymotion under LisaFalour, from about February or March of '13.  I decided to post that one -- it was funny, I thought, and France voted it the program they'd like to hear rebroadcast out of all the others on Radio France for Christmas in '13.  It's in French, but that's me.  I insist, you do not need a diploma to be a journalist, to be affiliated with a wire service, to freelance, et c.  You do need a work permit in order to do serious, declared work.

  27. josh h Well, maybe I'm an idiot, retired journalist and you are right.  If you want to e-mail your CV, I'll e-mail you mine.  I also have a lot of clips up showing my published articles and other published materials since the '70s, here on YT.  I'm also an author, a publisher and a contributing editor.  I was nominated for The Pushcart Prize.  If that's BS, yes, okay.

  28. roger supernova I'm not sure there's any solution.

  30. Roxanne J. Baril-Bédard I cannot help but correct your grammar.  It's "more important," not "more importantly."  A lot of people do that and it's incorrect.  You are confusing an adjective with an adverb and misplacing them.  You'll need perfect diction and grammar for communications.

  31. Sad!

  32. ***** I know.  The businesses I worked in kept money in two places.  Plenty to give up if shaken down or robbed, but not all in one place.  If it came to that, they just gave it up.

  33. ***** Agreed.  Even when negotiating for a cash deal, it's best to show up with the amount you'd actually prefer to pay, which is less, and say that's all you could raise.  If there is negotiation, you can then reluctantly pull out some more from elsewhere and say, this is for my bills this season!  And the rest is in a third place.  I was mugged in NYC on my birthday in '81.  Subway mugging.  I'd happened to have 400 USD in my handbag.  Apparently (I was unconscious) they were delighted and took that, threw the bag in a trash can nearby and I got it back within 24 hours from the police, including a bag of weed, which they didn't care about!  I was annoyed to lose the cash, and normally did not carry that amount but I was on my way to settle some bills in cash on a special day, so really, I just accepted it.  Besides a bruised face and being locked out of my apartment for awhile (some transit cops helped me break in via a fire escape!) I just chalked it up to education.

  35. Fun!  Decades ago, not in the country I live in now a long time, I got into the demi-monde, shall we say.  I was the weirdo who always kept a straight job, et c.  It actually wasn't a temptation to go full-time.  I saw what was happening and made sure I didn't actually KNOW any specifics.  This is a good interview and funny but grim.  Uprated.

  36. If people have Borderline Personality Disorder, they also tend to abuse things and will fail rehab EVERY TIME.  Really sad, her mother says "Oxy-Cotton."  Stupid.  Well, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, even though I think she wasn't the biological mother of Alexis, if I understood that correctly.  People don't realize, once they've had a substance abuse habit, no one can ever really trust them again.  They might love them and forgive them, but forget about the trust; people would be insane to do that, anyway.  I struggle to stay sober off alcohol and I come from a long line of alcoholics on BOTH sides of the family.  I was even born with foetal alcohol syndrome, which wasn't diagnosed until in my 40s, here in Europe.  It causes all kinds of problems for the kid when pregnant women drink, even a little.  I wish her luck.  People don't realize, once they've lost their health, you can't get it back, a lot of the damage is irreversible.  Very good documentary clip, thank you.  Uprated.

  37. Val_I_Ross Over the decades, my American whiteness has gotten me backlash from this kind of hateful nonsense.  I wasn't "helped" by any of this sad crap.  I don't see how anyone could be, now that I think of it.

  38. I found them good (usually).  Also most of the men like that.

  41. Uprated, shared.  Very nice!  A peek.  I like to those pretty long dresses the ladies wear.  I enjoyed what I knew of Arirang in NYC and here in Paris.  I hear they suppress women, but I don't know personally.

  42. This is a very brave man.  I'm an American and live abroad with a new citizenship, and it was quite a journey.  I also applaud him for being gay so long ago.

  44. ***** Thanks for pointing out to me the message I thought I'd lost and couldn't find posted not-ready.  I've had too many "who tf are you's?!" on YT since '08 so I try to be proactive.  But ... about once a month I seem to make a bad keyboard move, and BLIP!!  :)

  46. Rebuilt Gearbox Horrible, eh?  I don't know what I'd eat or drink were I back in the USA.  GMO corn gave me immediate, severe asthma-like symptoms.  I'd tried some samples from one of our clients in NYC, SARATOGA CHIPS, and had that reaction immediately.  I told the boss and found out that the client knew this, didn't care, was getting rich.  Yes, for table salt in the USA, I think I heard decades ago not to use it, to use sea salt, et c.  I barely use it at all here in France -- my spouse doesn't like salt -- I'm not supposed to eat it -- but if it's really necessary chemically for a recipe, I use sea salt or hand-raked sea salt ("fleur de sel").  Took me years to clear up those asthma-like symptoms -- went to Iceland, that did the trick.  sigh

  47. finfan7 Your comment was not addressed to me.  I agree with some of your points, and not others, necessarily ... if you want me to elaborate, let me know and I can try to get back to it.

  48. It's interesting.  I haven't owned a TV for well over 20 years, and only owned one for 15 years before, in the States.  (I live in Europe now.)  I have no portable phone, no wifi, no microwave oven, and only got online at home in '07.  I feel better than I ever felt in the USA.  I've been able to get the work and creative endeavours done as I never could there, and I have no anxiety or sadness.

  50. John Squattingson Oh, and what, pray, am I lying about?  Please be specific.  That's quite an accusation.  "you're," nor "your"
