I was there 20-odd years ago.  Once was enough. Jeff

Well, it was once a great city. Back in the middle ages, say. Some of the glorious architecture of that bygone era of French culture is still definitely worth a look. Reason I bring it up, is because for those who haven’t been, time seems to be running out. It doesn’t look like the French will muster the gumption to beat back the takeover that’s going on over there. What other country would take that for 10 days of continuous escalation, all the while saying ‘well, don’t worry, it looks like it’s waning…’? They might as well be invading Nazis for the "understanding and respect" the French ‘leaders’ are calling for to be shown to them. I’m sure glad MY president ain’t no damn liberal. Lars PS: before Jacques Chiracques hands over the keys to the thugs, shouldn’t we send troops in to reclaim all the masterpieces in the Louvre for the West, before the Mohammedans get the chance to do what they’ve always done with art?

If I ever go to Europe, that won’t be one of the cities that interests me. Pete — I’m not animated to do that. –Brak

They’ll protect the art by draping white flags over it. Pete — I’m not animated to do that. –Brak

Back in ‘87 as an exchange student I found 6 weeks to travel around Europe and North Africa, I loved 80% of the whole trip, 15% was OK, and Paris is the 5% I’m trying to forget about.  People were unfriendly, condescending, rude, and ignorant.  Truly don’t feel the need to ever go back there unless they start selling Tweed Fenders and JTM45’s at 20 euros a pop.  Who knows though, maybe things have changed.

Still a great city.  I went there in 2000 and 2001 – had a blast. Great architecture, easy to get around, great food and drink, lovely women, cool vibe, and of course, phenomenal museums.  Bummer is that the museums aren’t free, like they are in London. > Reason I bring it up, is because for those who haven’t been, time seems > to be running out.

The French president, Chirac, is a member of the UMP – a right-wing conservative party.

Yes. I’m glad you put a finer point on my, well, point. Had I said it, it would have seemed gloating, but since YOU bring it up: It is certainly a country ripe for conquest by barbarians where the leader of the RIGHT wing calls for respect for the invading barbarians. What would their leader from the LEFT be doing, *helping* the thugs rape and pillage and torch private property? Lars

Response:

>What other country would take that

What other country would suffer the attacks of 9/11 and not try to catch the mastermind?

Response:

Why do you persist in making such ignorant remarks? You well know that a number of countries have teams looking for him. I suppose that you think that it would be easy with the resources available? You need to study a bit of history and you would know that the Russians had hundreds of thousands of troops looking for Bin Laden for years and never found him, and they were from the country next door, not from across the other side of the planet. Study more before you post and you won’t sound so silly! See ya, John

Well that’s pretty dumb. Not quite as dumb as trying to get the rest of the country to respect, and understand, and approve new aid grants for, the thugs who are burning your cities down, but pretty dumb, nonetheless. Just think: a few more generations of inbreeding, and *your* kids may be as dumb as those ‘cultured’ French. But hey, they sure know how to make a souffle, don’t they? For another generation, anyway; Too bad *their* kids will have to live on falafel. Lars

Damn shame the USA didn’ devote its energies to finding OBL instead of wasting time invading Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with the attack on the WTC.

And you’ll think like Lars!

Your point was pretty blunt – it wouldn’t take too much work to sharpen it.  But what I actually did was poke a hole in it.  Your "point", that is.

I live in Paris, and the only thing I can say is "forget US propaganda about what is happening in Paris…" Patrick
