| by that token, did you fall out of your mother's vagina with a copy of adam smith's "wealth of nations" in one hand and a $100 bill in the other?
it's called culture/society... our society and theirs are different, and it doesn't necessarily mean that anyone was brainwashed by the borg evermind. free people are entitled to believe whatever the hell they want to believe, and retarded (foreigner) opponents shouldn't cheer people who try to run them over with their cars. what happens in france is of no consequence to you living out in the boonies.
i don't see anything wrong with a society having their own beliefs and value systems.. lord knows that americans seem to stand for hypocrisy and self-centeredness as evidenced by our domestic/foreign policies. it wouldn't kill our nation if people actually held their government to account, so that they could actually represent our interests.. the people in france don't feel like their interests are being represented, so they're protesting - as free people are allowed to do.
my point of contention is that this has evolved into what seems to be a herd mentality - with few people objectively analyzing this new law. and a sizeable number of protestors are the same french muslims who've acted like fools in the past. |
