- What an ironic statement!
-
- Evil anglo imperialists are trying to disrupt the peaceful, 'native'
- French society.
-
- Oh pleeeeeese. The French practically invented imperialism and colonialism!

- this (slightly dirty) past history should be more of a bond between French
- and English. After all, we share the same heritage of political and
- philosophical liberalism and humanism, and values of art, science, music,
- etc. that we've enlightened the world with.

- you should ponder the fact that the State does not give you rights: you
