103. this is completely unfair.

listen, France may be closer to our socialist ideals and all, but they have some SERIOUS issues with xenophobia and racism esp. considering the recent riots. To point out actual problems in France is NOT bashing them. And yes, I recognize the poster's frustration with US consumerism but it is by NO means strictly an American issue, yet we have to ifght it where we see it. For us to sit here and idealize France is just as useful as a bunch of Freepers waving American flags and "Remember 9/11" bumper stickers.
