ReplyDeleteThis short message to show you my grand support for your website. In my opinion, it is very important to broach the issue of tolerance in the contemporarian societies which become more and more mixed up. In this context, I would like to introduce my website treating of respect, tolerance and acceptation: www.tolerance.fr
