Socialist ideology is making France go to pot, and the French language with it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You get the feeling that many of my guests feel that the French language gives them entry into a more cultivated, more intelligent world, more highly civilised too, with rules.
In France, everyone speaks French 'cause they think it's cool. Gives 'em, gives 'em an excuse to smoke.
France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything.
France has to reform, to recover, and get more competitiveness.
The French have got taste.
The French are very individualistic.
No matter what their background, the southern French are fascinated by food.
If French is no longer the language of a power, it can be the language of a counter power.
French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
France will always be France no matter what, but America involves striving toward an ideal.
