We fart in your general direction
Yeah, he was also bragging on the superiority, or at least the greater sums of money spent on, the French medical program. This is the same country that let thousands of their elderly die of heat related complications because they couldn’t figure out that a cool bath will reduce the heat in overheated bodies. Of course, they have yet to figure out a bath.
Hey Chirac! In a comparison of Britain and France please think on this…
If we think of Britain and France as mothers…
and ex-colonies as children…
who was the better parent?
Good point, Chris. The Brits always left democracies in their wake. Sometimes they went to hell on their own, as Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia). Usually democracy survived. It depended on the people involved and how long the Brits had to help them set things up.
I think Chirac was being very nice.
In kindergarten we were told not to copy or envy. So two points for Jacque.
Of course, we were also told not to sneer at our companions. No points.
Still, he remembered two out of three make nice rules.

KenS, remember what country we are talking about… the only country that celebrates a mass jail-break as a national holiday.
Whether the point of comparison was food, health, education or science, France was in far better shape than its old rival, he said.
Note that Chirac didn’t mention freedom. ‘Tis why they are surrender-monkeys.
Im’ma break it down. For real, neither country has ANYTHING to copy or envy. If I had ta choose which one to live in, though, it would be UK, anyday.
Both are pretty fucked up with a socialist welfare state. From my area of expertise, I would say, off the cuff, that it seems that more great minds of chemistry have come from Britain, not France. Of course, also, the greatest language in the history of the world comes from Britain, England, to be specific.
Better music comes from Britain. Still, to this day. I show my colors as a recovering freak when I say that the music today coming out of England, Scotland, and even Ireland, kicks the shit out of pretty much everything else (cept maybe a few American bands). France has no good modern music to speak of.
Which country has higher unemployment? France, I think. Although the UK has nothing to brag about in that deparment.
In conclusion, USA is where I’d rather be. Chirac can fuck off. I hope they’re next. Really, ‘cos if they are, then maybe, just maybe, they’ll wake the fuck up.
Remember that guy named Le Pen a few years ago, got like 20% of the popular vote in their general election? He was supposedly a hard right winger - there are SOME people in France with some balls, but they’re a minority.
