Of course, you conveniently chose to blatantly ignore the fact that those kids are far more vulnerable to earlier generations to the ceaseless bombardment of american culture that is exported abroad; a good example is the Eurodisney theme park near Paris (now, this is ironic: Disney's most milestonesque "cultural" achievements are adaptations of European - and a lot of those are French - littary works; by contrast, for example, Warner Brother's cartoons are genuinely american and as thus have far more humorous appeal - but I disgress). Taste for French culture is not easy to acquire; it evolved through a considerable amount of centuries. American culture, by contrast, being without significant historical perspective for the most part, does not have a strong financial commitment from either government or the cultural elite, so it has to survive by catering to the lowest denominator of society. To do so, it has to be easily graspable and has to be palatable to the largest selection of people. This explains why the biggest cultural hits are movies who appeal to the most basic and primitive human instincts. Indeed, by their constant plundering of worldwide ressources, americans are a genuine pain in the butt for the rest of the world. It is bound to be when a country that houses 5% of the world population sucked-off more than 25% of it's wealth. Only uneducated ostriches (or those who get their daily doses of CNN, CBS or whatever private network news) would feel that this is not a proper assesment of the situation as it is. > The post that George made was probably inappropriate, because of > its generalisms, although this French idiot, seems to be one of > those few, well, you know, and certainly deserved the slamming for > his uneducated version of how the world is/was. Of course, I am uneducated because I am not able to afford CNN... Fortunately, for those poor people, there is a wide assortment of european media available to those whose bigotry does not limit them to understanding only one language... Perhaps some detractors could benefit from travelling abroad. > We unfortunately still have the same problems, and if you will > think about it for a moment, you will remember that there is a > contingent of african americans who still harbour resentment > towards the white population, for reasons that we, all of us, can > only read about for the most part, as none of us was there during > the slave trade days.

If that contingent of Coloured people (even though they are politically correctly called "African-Americans", many people have the word "coloured" flashing in their heads) did not face daily racism that denies them the right to have a proper education, to make their own minds instead of having it pre-made by the mass-media that shows them violent shows riddled with commercials that make them buy junk food that is not food for thought, maybe they could face life with the same degree of assurance that the white people is almost guaranteed to have. > That is all I have to say on this matter.

The rethoric is as unrequested as some Florida Cave diving god flames, but it will be posted nevertheless. > Charles Strasburger You're from Strasbourg? But that's in France!!!! ------------------ Pour la Republique Francaise du Quebec -------------------- Thanks to American influence, instead of thinking on how solve social problems or feed everybody properly,the elites of the world only think on how to expand their wealth, personal power and influence at the expense of other people. Our children will be happy to live on a planet left in shambles by those "people". ~~ Last dives: still the Aloha, the Effie Mae & the Wolfe Islander, 25 mfw ~~ This is a long signature; Toto, I don't think we're on FIDONET anymore...
