- Images and recordings from that times (in black and white) - Declarations made by existing people at that time, from that time. (like what Daladier said when arriving in France after the meeting. Things that you can't find on "sources" like wikipedia) So, more reliable than wikipedia for sure. |

regarding reliability, we could use the age of the documentary and the criticisms it gets from history buffs. @Narona What's the title of the documentary? the creator? |

I don't remember. There are documentaries a lot, if not everyday in France.
For example; there was one again today on ARTE. It ended 15 min ago. That one is named La Wehrmacht. A documentary in 5 parts about the world war II on the german side. And tomorrow, there are the eleventh part (out of 13) of the american documentary named The World War II in color on FRANCE 5. So, don't expect me to remember the names and authors of all the documentaries. Last edited by Narona; 2009-12-05 at 10:07. |

You aren't taking into account: - Mistakes that are spotted after broadcast - New evidence found after broadcast - Unlike in Wikipedia, documentaries have a relatively narrow group of editors (stronger bias is likely) In other words, until you present real evidence, documentaries aren't more reliable than Wikipedia. |

- In Wangen bei Olten, a permit to add over their community center a 6m minaret was asked by the local muslim community. - As in every building permit procedure, a mast was erected to show to the neighborhood how it will impact the area. - Peoples of the neighborhood, displeased with it, manifested their opposition as is usual in building procedure, gathering in an association, appealing to the municipality. - The municipality ruled in favor of the minaret, considering the opposition was only fueled by religious concerns, as advocated by the muslim community. - The local opposition association appealed to the cantonal (state) tribunal which ruled in it's favor. - The muslim community appealed to the federal tribunal which ruled in it's favor. - Consequently the minaret was erected on the community center. - A precedent being set, muslim communities from other small municipalities applied for the addition of minarets to their community centers. - Citizens from over the country, displeased by this chain of events, gathered into a Popular Initiative Commity, and started gathering signature for a Popular Innitative amending the Constitution to ban the construction of minarets in the country, valid signatures were gathered in a sufficient number in due time, enabling it for a votation, which occurred the 29th november 2009, seeing it pass with 57% and double majority of the people and cantons.

Even within the larger cities, Swiss construction is characterized by it's limited heigth, sobriety in the choice of shape and material: in one word, lack of impact. Here , our existing natural, agricultural and urban landscape are considered almost sacred, as reflected in our legislations. For example, to protect the typical swiss countryside, cultivators are given incentives to maintain their small sized lots, and we are spending fortunes to bury our highways in trenches. I might add that there is no infrigement over religion freedom, as minarets are not essential to religious practice, especially when they are silent, defeating their original purpose.

Think of all the schools, hospitals and bomb shelters you can build with that amount of material. Why build a white elephant instead?

From the article cited by saya on Tiger Woods:
"We've discussed this for years among black women," said Denene Millner, author of several books on black relationships. "Why is it when they get to this level ... they tend to go directly for the nearest blonde?" In one sense Tiger looks just like his fellow professional golfers in terms of his choice of female companion. When I attended the Ryder Cup matches in 1999, the contrast between the contingent of wives from the American and European teams was truly striking. Nearly every American wife was blond and gorgeous by traditional standards (comparisons to the "Stepford" wives were commonplace). In contrast the European players had a somewhat more diverse array of partners, a few of whom were definitely not candidates for the runway. By 2008, though, the Europeans appear to have taken a page from the Americans as their bevy of partners looked much more homogeneous and, largely, blonde. (I can't seem to drum up a photo of the 1999 wives, but you can see the 2008 ladies here and here. The opening photo in that second gallery with Elin Woods and Luke Donald's fiancee, Diana Antonopoulos, shows that there's still some diversity on the Europeans' side.) In terms of the broader issue of interracial marriages, it's still very rare to see a white man with a black female companion. Most interracial couples I've seen in real life or in the media tend to include a black man paired with a white woman. The cited article only scratches the surface of the anger that many black woman have expressed about this situation. Black professional woman often lament the lack of black professional men, a situation that won't change if patterns like this continue into the years ahead.
