Default Re: France\'s Election is Today

I'm a little confused. Are you German or Swedish or what?

[/ QUOTE ]
I am Norwegian.

[ QUOTE ]
Either way, Im sure your own country has some "issues" as well.

[/ QUOTE ]
We certainly have "issues", but people are much more open to new ideas/foreign impulses than i.e. in France or the US, if somebody critizises something/suggest a change people don't become defensive, but listen to what the person has to say. Relatively unique though, haven't seen that in many other cultures.

WHy is that you are allowed to mock/crap on The USA constantly over seemingly every issue yet someone from The USA can't mock France? Perhaps I'm dumb, or perhaps your assertion is illogical. (Perhaps a bit of both)

Mock as much as you want [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I don't retort to using Somalia as example to claim that capitalism is a failed model, so don't use France to prove that a left-wing society is a failure. Both countries' main problems would continue in both models.
