Americans: Have you thanked a frenchman today?

[opebo]

Every American should go to France for a year after high school, or perhaps after univeristy, in order to learn how to live well.

Don't feed Opebo, he'll only keep spewing crap.

What the hell, Nation?  I only expressed a very commonplace notion that was universally accepted among the aristocracy of both England and America not so long ago!

[opebo]

Opebo appealing to tradition.  Now there's something to see.

I hear he likes the oldest profession in the world.

I'm the most traditional person on this board, I just appeal to traditions that predate your ridiculous judeo-protestant ones.

How about no. I have friends who have been to France and they say it is naste.  I think we Americans know how to live that is why we have health codes and they don't.

What do you mean 'health codes'?  Certainly french food is far superior to american food - in fact our law about pastuerization is one reason cheese in america is garbage.  The quality of ones food has more to do with who prepares it than the laws regulating it - in america the underclass toils in the food industry spitting in everything they can get their hands on.  In healthy societies like France (or Thailand), people care about the quality of their products as they tend to be small proprieters rather than low-wage serfs.

That's classic.

In Thailand nearly all restaurants and traditional-market foodstuff sellers are small individual proprieters who take pride in their products, not wage-slaves like the workers at Walmart, McDonalds, etc.

Really France is a just another one of the long list of countries in which almost everything is better than in the US.

Mexico is MUCH less americanized than Japan.

Wow, I didn't know.  I've only been down there once years ago, in the Yucatan.  I was thinking about making a trip to Jalapa or somewhere like that.  Think I'd find anything that would interest me, if you know what I mean?

[opebo]

Don't go fornicate young Mexican cgildren lioke you do with the poor little asians in Thailand.

Why not?  Oh you nationalist you.  Anyway as I'm sure you know I'm looking for the just over eighteen demographic, not 'children'.  I've heard there isn't all that much for the sex tourist in Mexico anyway - even aside from your women's general stockiness.
