Just saw this Arnaud.

Funny I often talk with my girl about moving to France for a bit.

The world is frustrating. Politics everywhere are suffering and too often govt & policy is being guided by those with selfish motives.

I don't know how we will rise above this insanity but we can begin here my friend.

Hadn't heard that one. Can you steer me to a link that details that theory of the murder?

My respect for the USA grew when I heard the local Vegas crowd boo Money M (and cheer Manny), shows the crowd are better judges than Hublot. I knew he was a wife beater, that story runs a fair story on his real rap sheet.........

FYI the world has known many fine athletes who don't need to be on drugs or hurt women to justify success.....


Hublot must be crazy....... Cant see Tudor putting on Tiger's name on a watch or OJ Simpson, or Mike Tyson or Lance Armstrong........ and by all accounts Money M has already passed all of them already as a sinner. To be honest I really don't get the Hublot position it is almost saying our target market is gangsters, rappers and questionable sports stars...... that market must be bigger than I thought.

Being in France is fine if you don't need to pay your taxes there, if you don't have children who go to school, except if you put them in a private school the public ones are files with leftist school teachers who brainwash your kids, the government is totally anti christian, if you insult judaism or muslim religion or people you are taken to court for "incitation to racial hatred", but when it comes to christians it's open bar, one minister even said that the catholic religion must be eradicated to permit the religion of laicity, not joking it was 2 years ago on camera, not during Pol Pot or Staline. They had already managed to destroy a large number of traditions and customs in 1968, but now they're finishing the job.
It's a beautiful country but on many points we are completely crazy, a 86 year old women went 10 days on holidays at her daughter, she comes back and there are 15 people who forced the door of her house and are living there already 6 days, in a normal country you call the cops they throw them out right? Wrong, they are still living in her home and she is living at friends, all because of a law that gives the right to have a roof over your head, law that immigrants and associations which back them up know how to use to their advantages, so now she is engaged in legal proceedings to make them go away.

On the legal side we are completely laxists, all the time you have people raped and murdered by guys who were supposed to be in jail when they did this but since our judicial system considers criminals like the real victims, the newly appointed president of a judge syndicate, said on his opening speech "I will always favor the delinquents as for me they are the real victims of society", I mean the guy is a judge, if your Daughter was raped and murdered the killer might be judged by this guy, which means the killer won't spend a lot of time in jail, since for these people criminals are victims of society, that is insane IMO.

I could go on like this for days with so many true stories that you couldn't even believe were true, I am sad when I see the state of France, the mentality of the people and to what point our politics, whichever party, are corrupted, it's very sad

Everybody heard of it, just google "Suge knight tupac killing"

Yeah the guy is a scum bag but would he really have taken the risk of getting shot? A bullet did graze his head, if it's him either he's really stupid, or he knew the shooter was an expert shot, I looked up Suge and it happens that he got shot a number of times, one time he even took 6 bullets

Well when you make oversized watches with a bunch of diamonds your natural ad only audience are gangsters, rappers and other not very recommendable individuals

I agree 100%, when you see that firms like Monsanto, which have a long and rich history of poisoning the world, agent orange, DHT, round up, GMO, and other nice things, and governments are forcing against the will of the people of the different countries GMO things it's crazy, we should have the free will to decide what kind of food we will grow on our lands and not be forced to have a certain part of GMO when no one knows what effects it can have on long term, this and many other things like all those bankers which put us in a huge crisis and ruined millions of people and that instead of many being in jail, some really deserve it, they are getting richer with huge bonuses, that's whatI was saying in my previous post, the world is nuts and we are loosing all our values, between many countries still living in the middle ages and the western world, it's not brilliant

I see Floyd won on the points, makes me think of when Mike Tyson knocked out after a few seconds his opponent, I don't know what was the price of tickets but I'm guessing not 20$, imagine you pay 1-2K for good seats and it lasts less than one round

Ha! Cheapest ticket was $5k and some resorted sales of $100k for a ticket!

Are you serious? For the Tyson fight 20 years ago or the Floyd one? For either one that's cheap...

Do you think he'll keep his word and bail Suge out?

That was for the mayweather fight.

Yes, I think he will pay bail! Best

Ok, I guess it must be a kind of "scumbag solidarity" at the same time if I understood correctly he won 200Mil, so 10Mil is just 5% of his winnings and he should get them back except if his homeboy decides to flee, saw the video that poor guy was run over like a disarticulated puppet, these kind of close encounters with trucks usually don't end well, don't know who he was but probably the same caliber as Suge...

It was ruined with all that bling :( underneath awesome watch

For any kind of high level sports I always think "what percentage is due to the athlete and his talent and work, and what percentage is due to the steroids and drugs", the ones with the best "doctors" don't get caught because they have drugs that can't be detected at that period, like Lance Armstrong, I think they caught him because they had kept old urine samples and made tests on them many years later when the detection tests were much better, but that was how many years after he had stopped racing? When you know how terrible those things are for your health but that there's so much money that all athletes use them it's scary, just look at tennis, soccer and other athletes 40 years ago, how they were built, and look at them now, soccer players nowadays seem to have legs at least twice larger than 40 years ago...
