Fair comment.

So we're lining up along the Anglo-French divide? Are we THAT different?

Yep. We're from Earth and they're from Pluto. :-)

In favor of the French:
1. The French helped us in the American Revolution.

To further their own aims, because you were fighting the Brits. They
saw a way of using the colonists to poke the Brits in the eye and
possibly gain a future ally.

(snip insignificances & trivialities)

Against the French:
1. Citroen.
2. French jazz.
3. What Americans and the English perceive as a certain moral ambiguity.

Are you trying to say they're decadent and hedonistic, Robert? Let me
help you: They're decadent and hedonistic. There, that wasn't so hard.

Boy, this isn't the Paul I used to know There was a time when European
nations were characterized by the kinds of cars they made.
1. The English made cars that exhibited "class". Perhaps this is because
theirs was, and may still be, a "class" society. But because the cars were
actually put together by the very touchy working class, there was, beneath
the beautiful exterior, a hint of rot. For example, Jags were not painted on
the inside; they weren't even dip-primed, so they rusted out faster than any
other car except the MG.
2. Many models of Citroen were quixotically innovative; years ahead of their
time. Unfortunately, the statistics of MTBF (mean time between failure)
remorselessly attacked their vehicles, and they never had the organization,
at least abroad, to support it.
3. By comparison, most models made by Mercedes were unimaginative, although,
compared to American cars, they were 20 years ahead of their time. The base
model of Mercedes was the standard taxi in Europe, partly because of diesel,
and partly because the cast door hinges, with lube fittings, were immune to
sagging.
4. The Americans: gaudy, powerful, wasteful, and disposable. Aside from the
notorious window cranks that would start to fall off at 30K miles, numerous
details of engine and chassis design were deliberately underengineered. At
one point, Ford noticed that an internal oil passage was missing from their
Mustang engine, the 289. They made hundreds of thousands anyway.

I admit to personal frustration with the foreign policy of France, as one
of
the most vocal opponents of U.S. strategy, but I could never let it spill
over to individuals.

Exactly. Take people as you find them, but still dislike the nation.

:-)

I believe that those of us who forget the lessons of
history are bound to relive them. My focal point is the Munich Pact of
1938.

You were there?
Jews have a strong historical sense. I have books on my shelf I seem to
reread every few years. I have images: Neville Chamberlain, in old newsreel
footage, saying, "We have bought peace in our time."

In fact, I dislike George W. Bush in almost every aspect, except for the
initial invasion of Iraq. I do not excuse the subsequent bungling of the
occupation, which was caused by discarding the Baathist infrastructure,
instead of co-opting it.

Agreed. The invasion was necessary and long overdue. Everything after
that was a dog's breakfast. Americans have managed to show just how
ugly they can be in Iraq, but then when you send in 18 year old kids
trained on Doom games with heavy metal playing through their headsets
to question and search fundamentalist Muslem families in the dead of
night what do you expect? How many Arab speakers are with the US army
in Iraq? How many are trained in sensitive Arab issues? That's what I
thought. Again, the first thing the US did was disband the Iraqi army,
so that instead of a ready police force to guard institutions and keep
order you had thousands of ex-Iraqi soldiers milling about the streets
in civvies protesting that they had no jobs and no food. First rule of
US Army: make sure that any possible solution becomes the problem
instead.

The justification has nothing to do with whether there were WMDs in Iraq.
We
now know that there were not. Far more important than this were Saddam's
intentions, which he published in the 1980's. Saddam admired Hitler and
Stalin, and proclaimed his intention to follow their example, by
establishment of a totalitarian pan-Arab state. With oil revenues, this
state could havve become the second focus of power in the world. Such a
state, modeled on evil, possessed of all the technological resources that
great wealth could buy, would threaten the entire world with doom.

This is the actual reason we went to war in Iraq. The other reasons were
smoke screens, because the public does not understand historical patterns,
and certainly remembers nothing of Munich 1938. I DO.

Agreed. Saddam had to go. He was killing his own people at a rate of
knots and was a general menace as well as a blot on humanity. Get rid
of Saddam=good idea. However, people need more concrete reasons to
risk their sons in a major war; hence the invention of WMDs.


FWIW, I am a social liberal, and I am disgusted by the way George W. Bush
has squandered the good will of so much of the world. Much of this,
unfortunately, is due to the proven incompetence of handling either the
occupation of Iraq, or the rescue of New Orleans.

Yep. Apart from not being able to put two sensible words together, he
has no idea how to co-opt available resources or to get people
on-side, which is often the same thing. I feel sorry for the most
powerful nation on earth being saddled with such a leader. What you
could do with a real statesman!

What has happened in our country is a mild form of what happened in Iran
when the Shah offended the peasants. They gained their voice. Here, it was
called the Silent Majority, but it is now the Vocal Majority. Opposing them
is a Democratic Party hostage to special interests of a social nature. The
Democratic Party cannot win as long as the platform planks are strong on gay
rights, and empowerment of the poor. This is strictly an observation, not an
opinion. The roots of the Democratic Party were labor, but labor has
fragmented into a lower middle class, and this lower middle class is not
sympathetic to the new Democratic Party. The unions have lost power because
of competitition with imports.

The Republican hold on power will continue as long as Al Quaeda presents the
possibility of mass destruction to the homeland. As long as rogue nuke
weapons are a possibility, the Dems will have to present a really strong
candidate to gain my sympathy. I regret very much the cost to our social
fabric.

Simply not true about New Orleans, there were **** ups at every level,
starting with the incompetence of the Mayor who waited to long to call for
evacuations and who didn't use resources he had at his disposal.

This doesn't absolve President Bush in his complicancy and
complacency. I have a feeling that he's learned his lesson though.
Nobody can argue that the Federal response to Katrina was even CLOSE
to adequate. Even the President doesn't argue that.

Lionel, I have a relative who had a friend who was a psychotherapist in
France. Then she emigrated to the U.S., I guess at that time when the U.S.

USA is still a desirable place for French studients.
Unfortunatly your moronic government and politics encourage the "France

So those young ambassadors of my country prefer now going to Canada.

She considered doing psychotherapy here, but concluded that the French and
American psyches were so different, that her training would be useless.

I refuse to believe that psyches could be different. I think that just
the *social* keys of the psyche can change.
But I imagine that this could be destabilizing in such professions.

Do you have any insight into the issue? To me, you seem just like one of us


Thank you.

My relative did a little business in France. But first, he had to take a
short lesson on the differences in the personal sphere between French and
American (Anglo?). For example, he was told it was very important to make
eye contact. Also, the French prefer to do business face-to-face. An
American (Anglo too?) would consider this wasted time, perhaps an
imposition. While here, you never show up at someone's office without prior
arrangement, doing so in France can facilitate transactions that go nowhere
by phone.

And how did your wife do in the Marathon?

Except a very rude reception at JFK airport (lol)... She really enjoyed

This is the point Robert.

I agree with this. But OTOH it's an interesting opposition to US
megalomania.
Most of French people don't despite nor desdain USA. This is not
the case of some other major European countries.

I agree that in some case the opposition could be sterile, in this case
just look at it as a pueril bravado

But thanks to *Bush* senior stupid policy Saddam dictature has been

nobody else.

They don't intend it. This is not a North Korea where Bush can say,
everybody stand up and hate France. I look at it as an unintended
consequence. The Bush administration had to galvanize American spirit behind
the effort. Once the American public supports a war, they become very
patriotic. Unfortunately, French ministers made statements that undercut the
minimum Americans expect of a long term friend, which is, "We cannot help
you, but we wish you well." Insteead, we had statements like (see
http://nerra.com/broadsword/archives...rays-us-again/).

Let me explain to you what the U.S. expected. When the Falkland Islands were
invaded, the U.S. helped Britain by stripping bare our stockpiles of
certain critical munitions, etc. Without these, the Brits could not have
won. Now at the time, an Argentine minister remarked, "We are friends with
the U.S., but Britain and the U.S. are friends of steel. We are not friends
of steel."

The fury of the Americans with the French is because they believe they have
been betrayed by a friend. If Russia had made such statements, or China, we
would have expected no more. But historically, we believe that France,
Britain, and the U.S. are the oldest standing pillars of all that is good
and light in Western Society. When Germany was still making war, France was
already making love

So Americans are puzzled. Considering that France is only one of three
countries of this exalted standing, one of the premier lights of the Western
world, why would they not at least wish us well? I think I actually know the
answer. It goes back to DeGaulle. Do you remember when he tried to deplete
the American gold reserves by demanding gold for dollars, and when the
French subsequently withdrew from NATO? It was quite perplexing. Why would
he want to do this. Many of us think these actions were a form of
nationalistic frustration. After all, France is a complete country. It has
mountains, deserts, seashores, it is a place all of itself. Not long ago,
there were many Frenchmen who never left France in their entire lives. But,
accident of geography, the U.S. is simply bigger; the English speaking world
is bigger, and both French culture and language are under pressure.

In the U.S., I can pepper my writings with French expressions; I can even
put them into a court document, and people consider me a cultured person.
But in France, you have the French Academy, which, I think, is symptomatic
of a culture that feels it is under attack.

Mikey, your adoration of Dubya and his merry band of crooks is all the

That's because Liberal are basically stupid liars and scumbags. They never

Do you know that my opposition to Eminent Domain has nothing to do with the

opposed to Government taking people's property away for anything other than
a matter of national security or some sort of emergency.

It's one of the primary tools used by

hmm, _at last_ some audio opinions on rao again :-)

he, how do you guys compare audio drivers ? (hehe)
R.

First you hear them and you are impressed.
Then you see the technical specs and are more impressed.
At least that's the way it happpened to me.

If you look at the measured performance of a Hiquphon tweeter, you know that
it HAS to sound good.

Mickey tries another flavor of IKYABWAI.

I've always wished this[sic] Robert Morein was impotent.

Why would that be, I wonder?


Why in the world would anyone want him to be able to reproduce?

In the vein of "I'm not getting any, so you can't."
It never occurred to me to wish anything about Mikey's sex life.

We already have seen the evidence of how tiny his imaginiation actually is.
I looked up redundant and there was a picture of Robert.

Turns out Mickey lusts for queeny guys. He's fantasizing that I'm that
type.


Keep dreaming. Probably the best you can do anyway.

He has biological offspring. That presumes some kind of
sexual activity.

I meant currently, Arnie. Don't be obtuse, as George would say.

George prefers to be obstreperous.

Arnii is all sweaty 'cause he "just had sex".

You got a problem with people having sex, George?

Why no, Arnii, not at all. The subject at hand, however, is you. Not
"people".

Gross.


Not comapred to the condition of YOUR hand. Do you have real butch outfits

Robert Morein a écrit :

Erection enables sexual
intercourse and other sexual activities, though it is not essential
for all sexual activities.


The above is from another "handy man."

You should tell that to GeoGag, perhaps this would save him the cost of a
very expensive psychotherapy. ;-)

Look, irony.

Mickey, are you still mad at me?

I meant currently, Arnie. Don't be obtuse, as George would say.

George prefers to be obstreperous.

Now that I've stolen all your facts, all you have left is empty
bitching.

As you know, RAO is a sparring arena. You've demonstrated a big logical
weakness on the subject of cars, so everybody you spar with is inclined
to poke you there.

I'll have you know it's my strongest subject when it comes to logic.
That's why I drive an auto.

Speaking of blind spots, would you be so kind as to explain how "God" created
the earth and everything on it in "seven days"? TIA.

I'm flattered you think I might know the answer to that, George.
Perhaps you have a God complex on my behalf, sort of a proxy complex?

But to address your question, I've never imagined the Bible to be a
literal document. In any case since there weren't "days" as we know
them at that point the statement can only be figurative.

Dictionary?

Paul is obviously too ashamed a truthful answer to answer a
simple, relevant question.

Now where is shame involved, Arnie? Would it be shameful if I had
none? Would it be shameful if I had ten? I don't get it.

In any case your sentence is shamefully ungrammatical.
