Productivity

Pasteur comes to mind because of the Pasteur Institute, you might get a clue. They rival any US medical research institution in productivity and contributions to the state of the knowledge. France possesses some of the most brilliant people in the world, and these are French ethnics and not imports. There is no "used to be" to it.

So, then, why is the cancer mortality rate higher there?

The thing that struck me most, on my very first trip into France, was the smell.... like raw sewage running down the streets.

What? In this thread? Hardly likely ;-)

Ok, I see. You believe that because I said they *used* to be the cradle of civilization that I was taking away that accomplishment. I can see your point.

How about if I change the sentence to:

Yeah, and the Arab world used to be a cradle of civilization.

Things change.

Would you give me a passing grade?

That's ok, they have the Pasteur Institute, we have dozens equal or better.

France possesses some of

Yes, purebred people are important to any proper country... Europe has always harbored that fantasy.

The Model T was the shining example of the production line automobile, but haow many do you see on the road?

I don't recall doing that. Perhaps you could point out where I did? Or did it --just come to you-- ?

I find that not living in France, their politics has no real effect on me. France is basically insignificant to most every place but France. If they disappeared from the face of the Earth, it would be many many years before most anyone in the United States even noticed the change...

I do notice, however, that you seem to be very free in downplaying the many accomplishments of the American people [including the really big one that explains why France, and the rest of Europe isn't called Germany].

Just what you accuse me of doing.

The folks in Quebec might become noticeably nicer.

Your every post proves the point.

America's involvement in WWII was not exactly a selfless gift to the rest of the world. FDR knew it was only a matter of time before we were in the sights of Fascist regimes, and Japan had already attacked several of our territories.

They leach money from surrounding governments with their IP legislation. It only works because they're small. Probably the Cayman Islands has a high "productivity" as well.
