If the Frech public allow this to be legislated then they deserve their miserable lives. May they wash even less often.

My comments were tongue in cheek and meant in the nicest possible way. I also have friends in France and have experienced their hospitality. As to your comments on judging us all by the action of John Howard I have always had the suspicion that a nation gets the government it deserves. That was the basis of my'dig' at the french citizenery. Glamy excepted, of course.

Umm ... excuse me guys, but to paint the whole of the nation of France and it's peoples with the same brush as their government ... isn't that just a wee bit unfair? Isn't that the same as another country looking at us, as Aussie citizens, and saying that we as individuals should be "poxed" because of the decisions that, say, Johnny Howard, has made? Some Aussies support him but some don't. Should those who don't be condemned because they happen to be citizens of a country that is run by JH and his government?
I have stayed with several French friends in France, am still friends with all of them after many years and have found the French to be the same as any nationality - some bad, some good, some stink (the ones that don't wash ) and some don't (the ones that do).
Just my thoughts .... Please don't throw rotten eggs on me ... maybe some French toast though ...
