Ok,
Amanda, What has France contributed to the global community in the past 200 years, outside of their philosophies and superior cheese? Nothing. NOTHING! I'm not going to hate on France, and I'm not going to say I hate French people...it's all a ploy to drag people to my blog with incendiary comments. France pillaged the world under Napoleon, got screwed over in a multiple World Wars, asked for our help (and got it) then shied away from global politics save to stand on the sideline and play Monday Morning Quarterback with world affairs. The French people may be great, but this deification of the Eurpoean, and more importantly French lifestyle and worldview is complete ignorance. France does not have the solution to the world's problems, and this isn't to turn around and say America has them all either. But as I survey the global landscape, take into consideration which countries are capable of making the world a better place it's clearly obvious that America is the only country in this entire world that gives a crap about anyone else. You can cynically look at that and call it greed, imperialism, racism, egocentrism, which undoubetedly you will. I see things differently, and would challenge you to take a break from your cyclical odious attitude towards America. That goes for all of you others out there as well!
With that said, I'm leaving the topic of France alone forever. Unless France, or French-inspired products like pretzels from Canada, or cigarette packs with dead babies on them ruin my day, I promise I won't talk about the dang country again. Jock Shirock is so sweet!

"But as I survey the global landscape, take into consideration which countries are capable of making the world a better place it's clearly obvious that America is the only country in this entire world that gives a crap about anyone else." Is that suppose to be for REAL?!!! America doesn't give a crap about the third world...we just say we do to make ourselves feel better about the very situations that WE created and encourage every day. Further more if you look at aid given to the third world, you will find America towards the bottom of that list when comparing the amount given in percentage to the GNP (gross national product). So PLEASE don't give me that load of crap that America is the only counrty who cares...read "Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger" and get back to me. Ps. I'm not an American basher...I'm proud and thankful to be an American, but I refuse to walk around with red white and blue sunglasses on, carrying an apple pie and believe for one second that we, I, you haven't been a part of the oppression and suffering of the southern divide of the third world. That's absolutely absurd. I like this blog...randomly fun and interesting...Oh...and I got a free cell phone yesterday which makes me AWESOME...
OK...france totally sucks for a variety of reasons.
Musicruby...we don't give a certain percentage of the GNP, but if we did we would hurt our economy and drop money down the corrupt gullets of alot of countries that wouldnt' rise up if they had all the money on the planet.
France gives much less than us...then again there "Socialist paradise" has much less money togive and higher unemployment.
BTW, musicruby....FRANCE SUCKS......
