Why is Portable used for cellphone and téléphone used for phone? Aren't they the same thing?
          	
          	I guess in English we just say phone, and other languages have a word for the phone in your pocket (cellphone) and a phone plugged into a wall?

@Alex49246 Ye telephone is hardly ever used now :(

@Alex49246 Idk, I'm not like native French 
          	  
          	  But I'm pretty sure the same applies to French
          	  
          	  Someone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though

@Miraculouslyokay yeah i know we have a wors for it, i was just saying we never say telephone. In a normal conversation we just say phone regardless of the type
          	  
          	  I was wondering if the same applies to french or do they separate it

I've gathered everything I need to know. The debate is over. Don't reply on my board anymore, that goes for anyone. If you want to continue take it to your own board. Thank you guys for being respectful. Any political message on my board after this one will be deleted. ♥

@pumpkinspiciest I'm not deleting what's already there, just any political messages that come after the one above. You can always continue just not on my board. Thank you,

@Alex49246 I’m sorry to hear that because this gave me a chance to voice some things on my mind. That said, this is your space and you can of course delete my lengthy messages.

What do you (the person reading this question) vote for?
          I know that a lot of people vote against trump (and to have higher chances, they vote for kamala...it happened in France too, to avoid Macron, almost half of the votes went to Melenchon because Le Pen have the same problems with the public as D.Trump) but not for a candidate
          So this question is about why or what do you vote for (against a candidate, for policies, to represent minorities, etc...)

LV_476

@pumpkinspiciest but there's something that you forgot to mention 
            Ecology (trump will stop the Traité de Paris, won't go to COP conferences, etc...)
            So, even tho I may not like Kamala's way of speaking, and some things from the democrats, I should highlight one thing that is extremely important, ecology (a government giving a financial help for new projects, like what they do in china for example, can give more hope to people who wants to create a new tech without being broke, such as hydrogen combustion engines, 3 folds phones, etc...)

@Alex49246 the 3 last sentences show that you vote against trump, exactly what I thought 
            But I completely understand tho, I prefer Trump's individualism about the Kamala's share of ressources, but I still understand that you hate him

@pumpkinspiciest for the border...personally I think that a wall with 4 ways (walking in/out, car in/out) would be better...it'll make it safer cause you'll just need a few police officers (8 almost) to know who goes in, who goes out, with what and if they wanna be citizens...(I know that Switzerland and Spain use a similar thing, without a wall but cops are verifying the border (and sometimes the car) for each person coming in(
            7. For the death penalty...I think criminals should suffer (but a system like Korea would be better...for example, the rapists are forced to do what they did in front of everyone they know...yes, everyone, including their employer, family, friends, wife...that's why they often kill themselves right after or avoid doing it, and I think this system, based on shame and culpability is one of the best(
            8. For gun control I think about another thing (using metal or copper detectors everywhere where there are a lot of people), it'll avoid school shootings and assassination attempts for example...or just use a type of radar that detects metal
            Like this, the 2nd amendment will stay, yet guns won't often be a problem

@Alex49246 nice, I used to be in a 40s/50s/60s phase but some of the artists I really liked weren't good people because of course they weren't so I couldn't really listen the same. Who are some of your favs?

@Alex49246 I don't mind, I'm not too knowledgeable about him but one of the things that makes me most happy is seeing someone else happy. Someone smiling or sharing their passions. Go for it.
            What kinda music do you listen to?
