The news in America never wants you to know what is happening in the rest of the world. If it doesn't involve America in some way, they want you to think it is a waste of time. Instead of being intelligent and acknowledging that we are all humans, they carve us up by region, race, gender and looks. They paint little imaginary lines and say "the humans on this side of the line are different from the humans on the other side of this line." This story is one of the reasons why.

I know guys, it is totally queer to like the French. I mean they enjoy great food, take more vacation in a year than you get on your 10th anniversary at the ol' cubicle, and according to Boardwalk Empire they invented blowjobs. What's not to hate.
We live in a country where if you say "union" in the repurposed office of a layed off 20 year employee that they call your lunch room everyone scurries like rats. I mean that is what real tough guys do. Right? Tough guys would rather have the rug pulled out from under them and feel sorry for themselves instead of throwing molotov cocktails at riot cops because the punkass politicians want to raise the retirement age.
We call French men sissies while our own fucking parents took it hard in the ass for decades and we seem to be begging to get involved in the same ass raping. We beg politicians and corporations to fix stuff, but unlike the French we don't have the fucking balls to do it ourselves.
