Well, oh-so-superior Marie Claude, many of your own countrypeople disagree with you:

How McDonald’s Conquered France

http://www.slate.com/id/2221246/
By 2007, France had become the second-most profitable market in the world for McDonald’s, surpassed only by the land that gave the world fast food.
But implicit in this attitude was a belief that McDonald’s had somehow been foisted on the French; that slick American marketing had lured them away from the bistro and into the arms of Ronald McDonald. However, that just wasn’t true. The French came to McDonald’s and la malbouffe (or fast-food) willingly, and in vast and steadily rising numbers. Indeed, the quarter-pounded conquest of France was not the result of some fiendish American plot to subvert French food culture. It was an inside job, and not merely in the sense that the French public was lovin’ it—the architects of McDonald’s strategy in France were French.

So the people who collaborated with Vichy are now in bed with Ronald McDonald. Which may account for this:

The French, for instance, are 1.9 times more likely to take their own lives than the Dutch, 2.8 times more likely than the Italians and 2.4 times more likely than the Spanish or the British. There are nations with worse rates — Finland, for example, where the practice is widely blamed on alcoholism, or Japan, which has historically been tolerant of suicide. But in wealthy Western Europe, France stands out, with at least 10,500 people ending their own lives last year.
The malaise is exacerbated by France’s refusal to accept that changes in the world economy are irreversible, says Louis Chauvel, professor of sociology at the Institute of Political Studies in Paris. “Thanks to Margaret Thatcher, the British understood in the 1980s that the blessed period of prosperity, growth, stability and good pensions was over. France did not.”
Instead, the French cling to the illusion that a return to Les Trente Glorieuses, as the 30-year postwar boom became known, is possible. The result, says Chauvel, is frustration — the gap between aspirations and the possibility of fulfilling them, in sociological language — and depression.

My, what happened to that old joie de vive? Nationalized healthcare, a nanny state, wine, cheese, sex with other people’s spouses – and the French are still miserable. Especially France Telecom workers, who are offing themselves left and right.

Ah, but I’m sure you all will be be much happier in the new EU superstate, right?

You seem to think that Im threatened by the European Union. Im not in the least.

I think its a bad idea, because Ive seen what happens in our United States, where peoples and regions get subjugated to as it happens the Cities and the NorthEast, since at least the Ameirican Civil War.

The EU will be dissasterous for you, that is why I dont wish it upon you, not that Im afraid of a rising EU power, shading my imperial glory over here.

I care about Europe, because its heritage is my heritage, Western Civilization is my civilizatioin. (And Ireland is my ancestral homeland along with Germany and some other mish mash).

Ill keep on eating my hamburgers and we will have room for the refugees from the coming storm in Europe.

I wish Europe didnt harbor such ill feelings toward the US, they arent deserved.

I hope that Europe can survive the coming storm, with its Christian and Indigenous Heritage intact.

Its a no brainer.

One will continue to be Western Civilizaton and the other will be Dhimmis being slowly destroyed by Islam and Muslim domination.

Think of it this way, would you rather have millions of Spaniards move to your country or Paki, Turkish, Arab and Black Muslims.

Enjoy!

OL right, better, I leave you to your own self appreciation, but nonentheless non effective opinion as far as analyse of the “objective” (not real, you don’t like it) goals of the Lisboa treaty.

and like one of my german friends says : These people are not affected by the recent developments, and they also cannot understand its importance. It is like when we two would start discussing interstate issue in the US – nothing sophisticated could come out of this

We prefer our “fantasy” to your nightmare, imagine, that blacks and hispanics are getting more numerous that the anglo-saxons !

see how you’ll make it in 50 years !

Difficult to carry on a discussion with someone who refuses to actually address the point of the discussion.

… this isn’t the reality that we are living in here …

Right. I forgot. “Reality” is subjective. Like a growing segment of America, Europe prefers fantasy to reality.

Don’t make my cry, you call your Country democratic, do your people vote for electing their president ? rather tell me you’re a republic system like ours is also becoming, then we can agree on something

and you’d better watch for your own back as far as sharia laws, I read on well informed sites that they are already the rules in some of your states, here, only in UK, is there a correlation ?

Amen, Bilge!

Saving Europe from itself thrice in 100 years? Not likely.

Thus the origins of the Soviet Union predate him by almost 25 years.

But once again you’re deflecting. And now at length. Klaus’ history here is a red herring and doesn’t change Europe’s guaranteed future one bit.

- the Poles have rejoined german and french agricultors strikes in Brussels and poor milk in front of the official buildings. Yes, you can protest …
Protest won’t be allowed in the EU(SSR). The UN is already making sure of this (with BHO’s gleeful assistance). Strikes – adolescent tantrums thrown by adult children when they don’t get their way – are a completely different thing. They will always be “allowed”, as they form the backbone of marxist socialism.

- I am not ignoring your “point”, just that I refute your argumentation as workable for us.
You haven’t “refuted” anything. The facts are the facts. Europe is doomed. By its own hand.

- What is frightening you …
Not satisfied with ignoring the point, you now arrogantly claim to know what I’m thinking? This is truly funny.

There’s a grain of truth in this statement, however, but it has nothing to do with “frightening” me. It causes me fear for the Europeans. Our centralized government is running amok and out of control. It is presently on a course that will destroy this country inside of a decade if left unchecked. You people just saddled yourselves with the same sort of beast, but one which is much, much further down the slippery slope that leads from socialism to totalitarianism. Good luck with it.

- inshala !
You’d best keep that phrase handy. You’re going to need it.
