As founder of the company, Billga Googagates (rumored to be the distant ancestor of Bill Gates) was the wealthiest man in the known world, owning several large rock huts, an extravagant collection […]

Having a small idea about what was Apartheid in South Africa, I have read a Wikipedia document about History of South Africa in the Apartheid Era, all what I can say is shocking and shameful.
Non-white people were considered as non-humans, and I can’t imagine how they were mistreated and not considered. Some of the […]

When talking of the etymology of the word “fuck”, people refer to acronyms:
“Fornication Under Consent of the King”, because “in ancient England single people could not have sex unless they had consent of the king. When people wanted to have a baby, they had to get the consent of the king, and the king […]

أصبحتُ أستعمل الانجليزية أكثر من أي لغة أخرى بما في ذلك العربية لغتي الأم والفرنسية لغة تعليمي
ومع ذلك فإني لم أتعلم الانجليزية جديا في المدرسة مثلما درست النحو العربي أو الرياضيات
أشغل جهازالكمبيوتر الذي يحتوي على نظام لينكس بالانجليزية أفتح صندوق رسائلي بالانجليزية والذي غالبا ما تكون الرسائل فيه مكتوبة بالانجليزية. أقرأ الأخبار بالانجليزية (لم أعد أثق […]

لا أتعجب من أهل الشرق الذين يستعملون أرقاما هندية فكنا نحن المغاربة ذات فترة نستعمل الأرقام الرومانية و كان المصريون يستعملون الأرقام الهيروغليفية: كل يستعمل النظام الذي يتماشى وثقافته
لكن ما يثير دهشتي هو اعتقاد أحدهم أن الأرقام التي يستعملونها أرقاما عربية! وأن الأرقام التي نستعملها هي أرقام “غربية” ابتدعها الغرب وورثناها عن الإفرنج

Nul ne peut ignorer le phénomène de la pollution des rues à Tunis (comme d’ailleurs dans n’importe quelle autre ville en Tunisie) : déchets, bouts de cigarettes, papiers, …
Parfois, c’est la faute à la municipalité locale de ne pas installer des poubelles, mais ce n’est pas une excuse : Personnellement, je préfère circuler avec […]

I remember in school when teachers used to highlight Othman Empire’s “exploits”, and to incite us to be proud of Turkish Army, that was the strongest at the time, and that owned almost all the Arabic countries, and reached Wien.
However, history is not always full of glory, and has all the time cruel sides, […]

 
 On 1960, in the United Nations General Assembly (…) The Filipino delegate had charged the Soviets with employing a double standard, pointing to their domination of Eastern Europe as an example of the very type of colonialism their resolution was critical of. Mr. Khrushchev thereupon pulled off his right shoe, stood up, brandishing it […]

Le 26 avril 1986, le 4ème réacteur de la station de Tchernobyl explose, provoquant la plus grande tragédie nucléaire de tous les temps.
30 morts selon les autorités soviétiques de l’époque, mais il y en avait bien des milliers ; le nuage nucléaire s’est propagé sur toute l’Europe, sauf peut-être en France…
Hier, j’ai regardé Zone […]

 Full of contradictions, the Austrian eagle, symblyzing the Coat of Arms of Austria, has a crown, and takes a hammer and a sickle.
At first glaze, too many questions and answers suddently occure. Here were my propositions:
The crown means a royal state; that certainly means it has been set since the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Sickle and hammer, […]
