Carib Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The changes were announced some time ago, in order to make that possible the present government has to step down, it is a formality. Hardly a collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo13 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 WRONG..... The French Government has not collapsed. It has resigned in order that ministers do not have to be dismissed ahead of the re-shuffle and is a mere formality. The thread title is completely inaccurate and should be removed immediately. That's the last time I bother to pay any attention to the international news stories on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moetownblues Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 So what does this mean for the country as a whole? The government collapses so the economy and financial sectors will follow? Will the slip into a 3rd world status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchfarangjomtien Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It means that nothing changes. Sarkozy changed the casting, new guest stars, but the French dictator is still the one and only one who control and decide everything... He just changed some ministers because some opened their mouth too wide and other are no more his friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am disturbed by inappropriate headlines that are more similar to propaganda techniques than to journalism. People writing such lines are distorting the truth and steal the time of people who otherwise wouldn't have bothered to look at this story. Everyone has filters in his brain that sort the news into important and not important. Such vile techniques manipulate people into losing their time against their will. Stop it.

They can't stop it and the very reason is in your statement "...steal the time...". There are so many competing demands for our time and attention these days; the job of headline writers, a speciality in the trade, is exactly to get you to read the following story, like a paperback novel with a busty blonde and gun on the cover, but no mention inside. They'll always stretch the "truth" in a headline. Otherwise you wouldn't read. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) C'est la vie. Quite the opposite: if you extrapolate the theft of time, the result is murder (or at least life-long imprisonment for your mind). In the long run, it just discredits ThaiVisa's news section and after while people will not give a rat's arse about the news posted here.
