Il y a tous les topics qu'il faut en Débats d'Actu, merci de s'y reporter.

Ce topic n'est pas fait pour la politique non plus.

Pour finir, je vous rappelle que c'est un forum francophone, je vous demanderai donc de mettre la traduction en Français de vos posts écrits dans une autre langue.

27. Phoenicians also reached America long before Christopher Columbus did.

28. The 1st law school in the world was built in Lebanon, in Downtown Beirut.

29. People say that the cedars were planted by God's own hands (This is why they're called "The Cedars of God", and this is why Lebanon is called "God's Country on Earth."
