I now have two cats. On September my first cat (actually my sister’s, ‘cos she wanted to have one) died at the age of 14. It was a really unhappy Sunday morning and myfamily cried when we buried him in a mountain outside Athens.

Mind if i ask why?
Yes it is weird… Singapore is the cleanest country I’ve ever seen. They are very strict with that but that is why many tourists adore as a place. Sendosa Island is very cool, plus the beautiful park with the thousands flowers from over Asia (don’t know its name) but the problem is that:
1) There are 3,000,000 living in an island the size of Corfu island (!)
2) If you want to buy a car, from what I still remeber (I visited Singapore in 1997) you will have to pay double taxation because the government wants to prevent traffic jams.
kursed, correct me if I am wrong with the statements above.

In Greece all police officers are armed and in the future the municipal police of Athens will be armed with USP’s and MP-5.
Unarmed police is a bit utopian…

Hey, in LA, it probably could happen. Similar situtation in France,
were the multiculturalist attitude seeks not assimilation, but
independent cultural groups co-existing. In the L.A. area, you
have a massive influx of mexican immigrants (many illegal) who do
not wish to become American citizens. They live as if they were in
Mexico, except taking the benifits of America, including free
schooling. They do not become American, and fail to become
part of society. That means they stay isolated, and poor, and it
gives them an excuse for their situation.In other parts of the US, first generation natural born mexicans
(children of immigrants) are indistinguishable from anybody else.
They are as American as anybody. They have their family’s
culture, but they’re no different,a nd they’re just as sucessful as
anyobe else. NC has a huge and increasing mexican population.
But they’re, fo rthe most part, becoming part of the culture.
California’s policies on illegal immigrants will eventually lead to a
big blowup. It’s only a matter of time.It’s these isolated groups of people that have no desire to become
part of, and contribute to, American culture, that are problems.I could see something like that happen in some of those areas. It
wold be interesting to see how it’s handled. Arnold would put his
foot down, I believe, more quickly than Jacques did.
Thus, you are telling us that a new “1992” type riots are on the way? In L.A I’ve heard that the Whites are too few…

What is amazing for me is that a little country town like Carpentras made the front pages all the way here in North America. My grandmother lives just outside Carpentras in a small village called Venasque and I had to wonder if she was alright as she to attend a few doctor appointments there!
It seems that this is slowly coming to an end as less and less people are taking to the streets every night! I hope this unrest will soon end to allow France to heel from its wounds! Many here in North America believe France’s image was hurt within the worldwide community! I tend to agree a little!
Just wish these will not happen there
