56th season, we can't afford to buy all the DVDs to follow the serie.

If only Germans hadn't softened preferring sandals-socks to combat boots, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would have been resolved within a week.

They didn't integrate a good portion of immigrants decades ago and some community lived in ghettos. Payback for their colonization schemes :snoop:
But even then, do we integrate immigrants? They have their own tight communities as well, and it's not like anyone here is forced to live or act a certain way to be "American."

Social mobility is better in the US. No immigrants ghettos too

Plus North America gets skilled immigrants. While France and a few other countries didn't due to colonization (at least for a period in time)

Why does France have so much trouble with immigration? It's so bizarre to see from the United States.
-Uncontrolled (+ 300K per years) and unwanted immigration (96% of people whose right of asylum has not been accepted still remain in the country). France is a country with low economic growth, unemployment of 10% which creates social tensions. When you don't have a job, see a drug dealer driving a BMW, you do the same thing.

-Many come from former African colonies. Even those who were born in France, have a resentment and even a hatred of France (cf Algerian War). It is the racialism movement and the extreme left who push this population to feel themselves as eternel victim of a French state oppressor with a systemic racism. Any police intervention in a sensitive urban zone now escalates.

- Cultural insecurity. When you come to Rome you behave like the Romans.
Before there was an assimilation, the arrivals had to take the history, the culture, the values of France (out of the 4 million Italians who came to France alone 1.1 million stayed in France, the rest went elsewhere because they didn't want to blend in). Now our "pseudo elite" have switched to Anglo-Saxon "multiculturalism", you come to France but you behave as if you lived in your old country, but the Frenchman when he walks in the street he doesn't want to change continent. One of the most important tensions is on secularism (the separation of the state and the religion which must remain in the private framework), certain populations newly cannot arrive (don't want ?) to understand that which created tensions.

Fox News' attorney Erin Murphy argued that Carlson repeatedly couched his statements as hypotheticals to promote conversation and that a reasonable viewer would know his show offers "provocative things that will help me think harder," as opposed to straight news.
"What we’re talking about here, it’s not the front page of The New York Times," said Murphy. “It’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, which is a commentary show.”

Tucker Carlson doesn't have an obligation to investigate the truth of statements before making them on his show, and his audience doesn't expect him to report facts, a lawyer for Fox News told a New York federal judge on Wednesday.
