France having Issue with Uber

http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/2-uber-managers-detained-in-france-over-illicit-low-cost-service-1.2445868


Hello, I hope all is going well.  So I just have a quick post about France tripping out over Uber.  Apparently, two managers for Uber were detained for questioning about the service. Taxi cab companies are angry that they do not have the same regulation like taxi companies.  However, I think that they really need to calm down.  They are a cheaper alternative compared to taxi cabs, which benefit those that cannot afford taxis.  

Furthermore, the French Government is having trouble keeping up with regulating companies like Uber, which is typical for any government.  This shows how slow governments are in reality.  

I think that Uber is a good service and it provides a cheaper alternative.  I would much rather have a service like Uber then get hit by a drunk driver.

France Passed the Law Dealing with the Armenian Genocide

Let me say this Turkey needs to own up to what they have done a century ago. However, my interpretation of this comes from my perspective. Here in America if we made it a crime to deny anything that the government wants us to accept it would be deemed unconstitutional. France is different then America and they do not have the same protections as we do. On the other hand, France did direct this legislation towards Turkey and now they are going to be hurt by the sanctions that are going to be put into place and the other sanctions that will come into play in the future. Turkey needs to acknowledge that what they did was wrong.


France passed a law making it a crime to deny the Armenian Genocide. If you do then you are to spend up to a year in jail and pay 45,000 fine. That figure I did not convert to Euros. That is more then getting caught drunk driving.

You know I knew that this was going to happen that they would pass the law. However, this goes against everything the French have stood for in recent years. They passed the Declaration of Human Rights in the UN. There they protect freedom of speech in the declaration. They are violating the rights of free speech by not allowing anyone that believes it did not happen. Some are never going to believe. Many people still think the Holocaust did not happen even though their are thousands of documents that prove it had happened. Example, President Ahmadinejad of Iran he does not believe it happened.

I do think that Turkey needs to stop denying it. However, I think that they choose to forget about it because they see it as a terrible time in history. They choose to forget, they just do not want to deal with it. I think it is partially because many of them were given the stolen goods of the Armenians when they were deported from their towns. I think they feel that the earlier generations of the whole society was responsible and they just do not want to deal with it.

I do think that they need to own up to it. On the other hand, France needs to stop thinking that they are better then everyone because they have plenty of history where they killed massive amounts of people. For instance, in the French Revolution, they executed many of the aristocrats. They also led a war against the Protestants and the Protestants led a war too. The Crusades were pretty bad to, they had their own jihad against people of the Islamic Faith.


France is not totally innocent nor is the United States. I am not a representative of the US and I am not arguing for the US. I am just an individual who thinks that France has got some nerve to place judgment and forgo the freedom of speech just so they can make a statement. By making this law you are likely going to inhibit recognition and you are going to make it bad for the Armenians again. You are not making it any easier on both sides of the issue.


Another thing, France where were you when the genocide happened? You had the opportunity to help the Armenians, but you chose to ignore it. You could have invaded the Ottoman Empire and helped the Armenians. You could have influenced trials to be held and make them stick when it came time to deal with Turkey after the end of the war. The only country that really tried to help was England. You could have helped, but you ignored it just like the United States did. You could have told Turkey that part of their defeat was that they will have to punish those that hurt the Armenians.


You did nothing before, why are you trying to now? Do you feel that you are responsible for the Genocide because you did nothing before?

Armenian Genocide

The people that killed the Turkish-Armenian Journalist trial info: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16632890

Frances Bill to make it illegal to deny the genocide ever occurred: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16407046

So the Armenian Genocide has been popping up over the news lately. Honestly, France and Turkey both need to cut it out.

1. The Armenian Genocide did happen, so stop denying it Turkey. Talaat Pasha even admitted that he was doing and he did not deny it. The only ones that were denying it was the Germans because that was their ally during World War I. Turkey you need to own up that it did happen, there is plenty of evidence. Obviously, the generations that are alive now cannot be punished for a crime that their forefathers committed.

2. France you helped draft the UN Human Rights and with this law you are going to violate the very thing that you help create. How in the world do you think that you are justified to make it illegal to deny the genocide. Their is always going to be people that do not believe that the genocide ever happen. You are denying their free speech and you are wrong for that. I am happy that Turkey has got relations to you, why are you continuing to try and punish those that do not believe it happen.

I think that both sides are coming at the Armenian Genocide wrong. Turkey needs to own up to it and France needs to not violate the right to free speech. I think that we need to remember the past so that we do not repeat acts of genocide. However, do not try to punish the current population for what occurred a century ago.

They Have Won

The fight is over and you have one liberals and socialists. America is on the brink of ending here as we speak. Maybe, not as a country, but the Constitution is going to end. Unless, Amendments are made to make a more centralize government and make everyone earn the same wage.

However, I think that it is time to wave the flag of surrender because the socialist will run this country into the ground. Free-market has fallen in this country. We will no longer be producing anything anymore. Look at Europe, that is the future of our country. Our rights and liberties taken away because there are some people that are just to lazy to work hard for what they want. They just want it handed to them like some European governments hand people a check every month.

This country was built on hard work and we for a long time have supported that. However, thanks to FDR and the courts before him we have open the flood-gate of more people depending on the government. People keep wanting more from the government and it is never going to end. The people in France had a fit because they increased the retirement age. Here in America if we had a mandated retirement age (in some aspects we do) than people would throw a fit because they would not get the money from the government. The only difference between France and America is that we worked hard for our money. All the money taken from Social Security comes back to us eventually.
Here in America the rich people are going to get taxed more than ever. I am not rich, I am middle class. Anyways, the rich have worked hard for their degrees. Most of them have went to school for long periods of time so that they can work their way up to earn that money. They do deserve their money. They pay the most taxes and their taxes do benefit the poor, you just do not see it because you are blind!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only do their taxes help the poor, but they also donate tons of money to charities!!!!! Are you still blind America???????? YOU LISTEN TO POLITICIANS COMPLAIN HOW THE RICH DOES NOT HELP THE PEOPLE, BUT THEY DO!! YOU WHINE ABOUT PAYING TAXES WHEN YOU GET THE MONEY BACK!!! THEY PAY THEIR FARE SHARE OF TAXES, ALL OF THEM OWE MONEY BACK AND MAJORITY MIDDLE CLASS DOES NOT!!!

RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GO JUDGING THE PEOPLE THAT GIVE YOU JOBS. RESEARCH BEFORE BELIEVING WHAT EVER A POLITICIAN TELLS YOU OR THE NEWS. A MAJORITY OF YOU PROTESTORS HAVE NOT EVEN RESEARCHED WHAT YOU ARE PROTESTING OR RESEARCHED THE OTHER SIDE. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE VERY THING YOU PROTEST IS THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR FOOD!!!

However, everything that I said is for nothing because you have won the battle. So rejoice in the fact that you will get what you want. The rich and the middle-class will become the slaves of the poor. Just shows you can attempt to go to school and work hard for what you want. However, majority of all you hard work will go to those that do not want to work for what they want. If you are a Christian read Genesis, even God tells us that we are going to have to work to put food on the table

American National Government




Some of you may know that I am taking American National Government to pass the time. Also a college did not accept my AP credit so I am just taking it in case I go there. However, their some lovely thing that I learned today. As I am reading my government book, I begin to feel a little bad. I blamed poor FDR for so many things when actually part of the problem stems today from the dear Supreme Court.

Okay let me begin I think the New Deal was a good idea in some ways, but some of the programs during that time brought us back into the depression. Thanks to World War II ( I am not happy about the lives that got lost in the war or h
appy that it occurred) it got us out and when we were assisting Britain before we entered the war. However, the Supreme Court is somewhat to blame for the reason we are in a "Welfare State" at the moment. They helped contribute by judging in some cases where the National Government gains superiority. Also a judge name Fiske, I believe, stated that the 10th was irrelevant. However, in 1990s the Supreme Court tried to clean up their mess of late by devolution.

As you have noticed in the last few days, people are really worried about Europe stocks at the moment. Now let me tell y
ou that in a decade or two we are going to be seeing exactly that or maybe even in three decades. We are going to be likely in a Social Welfare State, namely Socialism. Maybe we will not be full out Socialist for another 100 years. I think it is going to happen. Unless, we do something about it and stop the expansion of the government.

Europe is not producing enough to keep up with the financial costs of their social welfare plans. That is why they may need to deregulate a little bit and allow their businesses to thrive. Meaning they need to develop new types of products and export to other countries. U.S. will see this problem in the future if they do not get it together. Deregulate a little bit and allow businesses to patent new products and produce them. They will see a growth in jobs and money flow to the people. Then we will not need the government to issue tax cuts or stimulus packets. America could learn from Hong Kong because Americans and others like to go their to get business going. There are so many regulations here in America that it prevents an increase in smaller business and allow them to get bigger. For instance John Stossal interviewed several people that began business in Hong Kong and they succeeded. Why? The succeeded because of low regulations to get business going and maintain one.


That is what America needs to do to create jobs or we are in the crap whole for a long time. We need to stop depending on the federal government to do everything for us and they need to limit their powers and hand it over to the state.

Bored

Okay I am super bored right now. I have exhausted playing video games and do not feel like watching shows on the internet. Life can be so boring at times. If you are wondering about homework, well I have attempted that and could not focus. I do not understand why I am so restless what is going on with me? So I decided to go to the store to pick up random items, walked around the block a couple of times, that is the most exciting thing that I have done today. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly and I can hang out with my friend on the lower east side. I need to find some interesting things to do in NYC that is cheap.
While I am waiting...I read some of my homework assignment for philosophical apologetics. This book that we are currently reading is highly interesting, it is called Economics in a Christian Perspective. I love this book it is so interesting. Did you know that the US private sector helps out more then the private sector of France. On the other hand, I think it is because FRANCE HAS HARDLY A PRIVATE SECTOR. I think that it is great that the private sector helps out the poor and it shows that the private sector can help people a lot. That maybe these countries in the EUROPEAN UNION should think about expanding the private sector. Also did you know that because people depend on the government, they feel like they should be held less responsible for their actions and blame the government? I already knew that fact. We should not have to depend on the government for social helps. The private sector does a better job at helping the poor and helping solve social problems. Every time the government runs something, it runs into the ground because the one solution does not fit for everyone.
