OK, this one's starting to get a little out of hand. This is why I hate political discussions on web forums...
Snapple, you have the right to your opinion and I can respect that, but you are really generalizing and straying into the realm of personal attacks. While I myself disapprove of the way the French government is handling things, to generalize that all French people believe a certain way is the same as the rest of the world generalizing that all Americans are loudmouthed obnoxious idiots. Neither are true, and it is a dangerous and misguided path you are treading down with that kind of closed-minded thinking.
I suggest we drop this line of discussion, as neither party is going to sway the other, and quite frankly, is starting to offend and create bad blood between users.
