@Olivier5,
Which is why I said (before Iraq.) There is no excusing the torture so I won't go there. Pretty sure I have made my opinions known on that subject. I don't know if it was over-react in regards to Iraq, (weird words together) as much as opportunism.
@Frank Apisa,
Nobody cares what the academie does. I mean, for god sake they just opened a new website offering french equivalents to hash tag or tweet... That's your big furror? (I like the Mirror's outright lie about banning words... Racist pigs)
The academicians are not politicians, they are basically authors and linguists.
And one article in your post is about a new bill authorising the teaching of full university courses in english. So yo have nothing... as usual.

I think there might have been some unpleasantness involved with a past occupation of Algeria. But I'm really foggy on the details.
I'm not suggesting they had a individual attack on the scale of 9/11 though.

That date back to the 60s and 70s resulting in at least one attempt on President Gaulle life if my memory is correct.
An it involved Frenchmen unhappy with giving up Algeria not foreign terrorists.
@Frank Apisa,
I am just saying the truth. If memory serves, the last politician who sized on this issue was Toubon in the 90s. Everybody called him "Allgood" for years... Was fun.
Are you guys still arguing about US forced feeding of hunger strikers?
A new thread was just started about it, if anyone is interested:

@Frank Apisa,
I just googled UNICORN UP FRANK'S ARSE and got millions of hits.
Does it hurt?
The Federal Attorney General of Germany said today that an investigation into suspected tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone by U.S. spies had so far failed to find any concrete evidence.That's because "the document presented in public as proof of an actual tapping of the mobile phone is not an authentic surveillance order by the NSA. It does not come from the NSA database."
The Federal Attorney General, Range, said neither a reporter for German news magazine Spiegel who presented the document, nor Germany's BND foreign intelligence agency or any US-American, nor had Snowden provided further details to his office.
The investigation would continue, however.
Range was confident of being able to accuse the former BND-employee, arrested under suspicion of espionage for a foreign nation, in July next year. "The suspicion against him has hardened," he said. He expects that the investigation will be finished by spring 2015.
"If there aren't any fundamentally changes, this will lead to the first charge of spying for an American intelligence agency." The Attorney General said, it is thought that he has sold about 200 documents of all levels of confidentiality and other BND-information to the CIA.

According to quite a few source, the transitive verb "to google"
can also be spelled
Google (See e.g.: Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary, or Wikipedia)
(Shouldn't it be
ought to?)
@Frank Apisa,
I don't know about that... As much as I would want to be your cyber friend too, all these google hits about your zoophilic interest in unicorns are a major show stopper... I don't condone the use of unicorns as dildos.
@Frank Apisa,
You could present some evidence... Or rather, you couldn't. 'Number of hits' proves nothing (other than your frequent sexually abuse of unicorns). So far, you showed evidence that the Academie had put up a new website proposing gallic alternative to 'tweet' and 'hashtag', and that a bill is being pushed through the French parliament to allow university courses in English. Try again, or just admit that your point was a tired cliché... As simple as that. But that would be too frank.
