No, Phil -- you're just not grasping the content of the conversation, which is a dispassionate analysis of *why* the French are the butt of so many jokes in America. *Apparently you think that to discuss this phenomenon is to somehow agree with it -- which is silly and just plain wrong. If someone dispassionately says something which is a load of garbage (which is what you have been doing), then others can dispassionately tell him it is a load of garbage, which is what so many on this thread have been doing. That isn't the same as saying it shouldn't be discussed, which no one here has done. As far as agreeing with the phenomenon, _you_ are the one who said the French are arrogant, ignoble, and irrelevant. Are you claiming you don't agree with yourself now?? As an aside, it is this national inability to discuss things dispassionately that has lead to the near-complete polarization of the American political climate. *Almost no topic can be discussed or analyzed without *someone* making it into a personal affront -- and then dialogue just becomes noisy shouting with no compromise. Last time I looked, we were having a discussion, Jay. We're over 300 posts in this thread. That isn't a discussion? There is an interesting analysis of this phenomenon in Newsweek this week WRT the passing of William F. Buckley. * In his hey-day, Buckley would invite people from all ends of the social and political spectrum to his show (and into his home) to politely and intellectually discuss all manner of topics -- and they would actually be able to debate the issues without descending into chaos, the way the talk shows do today. * It was so incredibly civilized, and stands in stark contrast to the way EVERYTHING is taken personally nowadays. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Then I will leave you with a quote from Mr Buckley that I think applies to much of what you have said so far. "I won't insult your intelligence by asking you if you really believe what you just said." BTW, that is just a civilized way of saying "I think what you just said is a load of garbage." Phil |

I warned you a long time ago that if I caught you pretending to be a
journalist again I'd call you on it. You're a pilot, a businessman, and many things, but you have never ever reported news or worked in journalism. I know I shouldn't validate your asinine post with an answer, but your arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance. I've never pretended to be anything, my work and business ownership history is a matter of public record, and your astoundingly self-righteous belief that the only valid employees of a newspaper are "reporters" says volumes about you and your supercilious attitude. Here's a tiny clue from someone who participated in the budget planning of several newspapers: Your vaunted "journalists" are actually called "reporters" at every newspaper I've worked at and with, and they are at the very bottom of the food chain. If you ever reach the management level, you'll know that they are regarded as cannon fodder, cheaper than screw-top wine and as interchangeable as athletic socks. Worse, most of them suck. Or did you think they got paid less per hour than our bundle haulers because they were held in such high professional regard? Oh, you didn't know that? Shucks. That said, and with this new knowledge firmly embedded in your craw, it's time to call you out. No one here has seen any evidence that *you* have ever been a serious journalist -- unless you count being a 2-bit disk jockey under the name "Stella Starr" as serious journalism -- yet YOU have the audacity to question my chops in the newspaper world? You need a hobby. I suggest flying. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Travelling on the metro in Spain is probably two orders of magnitude
than taking your son flying in a light plane. I find it odd that you're fretting about this. Oh, hell -- I wouldn't be letting him go to Spain if I was really worried. I'm sure he'll be fine, as long as he can remember how to ask where the bathroom is... ;-) But I *do* find it aggravating and disconcerting that he's had to attend not one, but THREE separate 2-hour classes on "how to behave in Spain" -- and those instructions include basically hiding the fact that the kids are American. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

How many people who were in power at the time of the Vichy government are
still alive, and what do the people who live in France have to do with that? Should all Americans be ridiculed for the racial policies of the South, which happened in much more recent history? Good point. Where does historical responsibility end? Do the aboriginal people deserve an apology from the current Australian government for treatment done to them by an earlier generation? Do American blacks deserve reparations for harm done to their ancestors during the slave years? Do the Germans still bear the stain of Nazism? Do the Japanese still bear the guilt for the rape of Nanchang? (Or however it's spelled nowadays...) An interesting, highly debatable topic for thinking people. Of course, someone here will change the subject line to include accusations of racism, rather than discuss the issues -- but that's the current state of Usenet, and much of the American electorate. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
