 |  Chirac is a douche Registered members do not see ads. Register or logon for a better view. this guy is a piece of work! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chirac lashes out against US "cultural domination" Thu Oct 07 2004 21:37:42 ET  French President Jacques Chirac warned Thursday of a "catastrophe" for global diversity if the United States' cultural hegemony goes unchallenged. Speaking at a French cultural center in Hanoi ahead of Friday's opening of a summit of European and Asian leaders, Chirac said France was right to stand up for cultural and linguistic diversity. The outspoken French president warned that the world's different cultures could be "choked" by US values. This, he said, would lead to a "general world sub-culture" based around the English language, which would be "a real ecological catastrophe". Citing Hollywood's stranglehold over the film industry as an example, Chirac stressed that only with government assistance could countries maintain their cultural heritage. Vietnam is a former French colony, but only around 375,000 of its 81 million people speak French. English is considered by most people a far more valuable and practical second language, particularly among businessmen. (Drudge Report) :P

 | Re:Chirac is a douche Not for nothing, but it all comes from a deep-rooted jealousy stretching back to the 19th Century when France was in the same position as the US is now, as a dominant world power. Now that they are second fiddle, all they can do is bitch and moan. Most French people I know could give two shits about the spread of French culture and ideas. Same for most American people. What it comes down to in culture marketing is who has the most money. Funny how he preaches it to a bunch of broke-ass Communist pricks though.

| Re:Chirac is a douche last year, the french were banning english terms such a email so people would only use the french words... btw, france was never a world power. they are the most conquered contry on the planet. Their so******t views is what spurred Powell to call them "old europe" to quote richard prior "everyone wants to acts like a nigger, but no one wants to be a nigger" meaning, american blacks are the most emulated poeple on the planet, thanks to dre and his chronic.. |
