Do I get immediately banned from this site if I say that I actually like France? And Paris in particular? I would welcome some constructive ideas for how to influence the French to conduct themselves with more self-respect and spine; I find it distressing that an otherwise very lovely and life-embracing people have no real concept of self-defense.
The only think I have ever heard of that actually works with the French is bribery.
Newbie, newbie, newbie. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Go and sin no more.
