My grandparents wouldn't teach my mother German either. Only a little bit here and there. Her older brothers only knew German when they started school. I figured they must have decided by the time she came along that wasn't such a good idea.
Is Paris Burning? Is Paris Burning?
Liberalism and Islam in France have managed to achieve what even Hitler couldn't get done... They should be PROUD.

Jennyscool said it first, I just made it bigger! :-P
The French unions bear some responsibility for the rampant socialism that has not created one new net job in ages in France.
The so-called "SMART" car wouldn't look so smart in the US when a Hummer driver doesn't see it...Ooops!
Actually, any accident would probably be deadly for the "SMART" driver.
It is a good question and I fear the answer lies in religious beliefs.
Everything Kerry did or said in that campaign was so useless, stupid. And along come events in France to bite him in the bum. Who knew.
"It's already hard enough to get a job when you have an Arab name like mine," says the 20-year-old business student of Algerian origin. "Now my address is against me too."

They are snobbish with each other as well. The B&B
owner related that a neighbor, upon visiting the home,
reprimanded the owner about the corner mouldings at

What? You mean that John French Kerry's role model
country is not an egalitarian paradise? Why I'm shocked,
simply shocked.
C'es vrais mon choux.
The Colonial (Imperial) Frogies caused a bleep load of trouble.
I can't help myself, Paris is still my favorite city.
actually I prefer Bruxelles -- much more quieter and genteel -- and the chocolate shops are better... mmmmmmm Rue de bouchers...
What kind of people trash the free things that a tolerant civilization has provided for them?
Can't say it here. Remember the LA riots?
