well i found this site accidently when i was searching for a pic of La Defense to remind me of the nice months i had in Paris last year. (i am not french, i am Austrian)

Wow and what do i see? a hate-site! (yes it's a hate site, nothing more, nothing less)

just to let you know, i find it quite disturbing that you seem to dispise the society so much you are living in... are you FORCED to live in Paris or what's the deal???

if you dont like it, why no just LEAVE? in a certain sense, you are no better than those Islamists who hate the societies they are living in. I believe they should leave Europe, too.

if you can't stand European attitudes and our way of expressing ourselves, our soul searching, our inner conflict, then move on to a place that is better for you. How about the bible belt? There you'd have to deal with less "provocations" against your suffering American soul

nothing against criticism, nothing about an American telling me straight into the face what he dislikes about me, but this childish postings are just lowest level.

but i guess a true American hero like you has to do what she has to do, perhaps you get the Fox News Patriotic Award Cross when you return home from your mission

PS: this posting was formulated in full awareness of D-Day 1944 and the gratitude every democratic European has to have for America. But this gratitude cannot extend to you Carine, i hope you understand!

If you had done just a little research on this blog, you would have seen that I am French, not American. So that must be that "soul searching" (bwahahahah) you're talking about. I criticize my country if I want to. If that hurts your little European heart, that's too bad, I don't care. I'm the one living in France, I know exactly what it is to live in a country where freedom is vanishing a little more everyday. Like any little hating troll, you talk about what you don't know.

But don't worry, like many French people who are fed up with the fiscal dictatorship they're living in, fed up with not being able to work freely, fed up with the fact they are being robbed of their hard-earned money, I'll be leaving France before the end of the year. And like the Soviet Union remained a monster to exiles, France, if it keeps on being what it has become today, will remain a monstrous aberration to me (simply check the content of the post above).

indeed this changes everything - i take back my comments

good luck for your future

" I'll be leaving France before the end of the year "

--> AT LEAST .... the good news everybody was waiting for !!! :)

Good for Carine. Zeropeans equal Eloi and the Muzzie trogs are getting bold!

---"if you dont like it, why no just LEAVE?"---

I guess it's too late to mention that one to Che Guevara. Yeah, Che is a good example for not liking a place and leaving. Oh wait... he did leave Cuba. Hmmm.

Wonder how Che would react to his face being reduced to a commercial "hook"? A logo plastered on innumerable objects? Like the Nike swoosh or Coca-Cola. Would he rail at the masses for being duped by such a capitalist ploy?

He'ld probably laugh at the romanticizing of his image that ignores the brutal reality of his actions. And then demand his share of the profits.

It is no wonder that France has such a love afair with communism.
The French Revolution was originally based on ideals much more in line with police state communism than any form of self determinism.
The founders of Sovietism got their inspiration while in France as did the founders of the Khamer Rouge.
About the only iteration of that murderously inbred philosophy that cant draw direct links back to the cafes and classrooms of France is that of Mao in China but he's still an offshoot of the soviets so the link is still there but just more indirectly than the others.

Remember all those bastions of the American left who vowed to leave the USA if Bush won? Not a one did. Gotta love the left, all mouth, no balls.

Good for you Carine. You're smart to get out while you still can. I hope you come to the USA (though Australia is a good choice, too).

By the way, not interested, even though I'm American, I know the difference between Austria and Australia. One's got mountains, the other has a coherent foreign policy.

"indeed this changes everything - i take back my comments"

not interested: given that you really meant what you said, only had to retract it since Carine is actually French not American, I have to say that's kind of apology only douchebag could give. how many negative stereotypes can you possibly use in a single post?

I don't need to go to Paris to do my Che shopping, I can do it all at www.che-mart.com

Austria, that's that POS douchbag of a country that played the "neutral card" and refused to allow US military logistics transports to cross it's borders when needing to shift supplies to Italy during the run up to the Iraq invasion... but then turned around and sold 1000 of the "best of breed" .50 cal sniper rifles to Iran.

So where are you going, Carine? We'd be glad to have you here in the US, but you might have somewhere else in mind. Either way, we want details! Bonne chance avec quelquefois que vous décidez à faire!

Welcome, Carine, and I hope you take US citizenship. If you want to be here, you were meant to be here.

@ not interesting:
Austria – is that the place with the Nazi ex-president or the one with the kangaroos? If it's the former, as I suspect, you should probably look into acquiring some kangaroos.

nice to see there is still some liberal european spirit surviving our decadent and pervasive bureausocialism.
it's a sad hystorical nemesis to see the land which gave birth to voltaire and the renaissance being actual france and italy non to mention how betrayed is the dream of schumann, adenauer, de gasperi.

Carine, nice to meet you!

@d00d:

my initial critisism was based on the assumption that Carine is a foreigner in Paris who walks around with no other goal than finding things she can use to ridicule the country that is harboring her. *That* i would have found inappropriate. I would for instance never go to Miami or L.A. to maintain an anti-U.S. hate blog, and i would criticize anyone who does that, too. It's a basic question of politeness and good manners.

Now, i still disagree with the contents of her blog, but that was not my main point in the first place. So, it is only logical to take back comments when their premise is gone. Especially after i realized that Carine really seems to kind of suffer in her current situation, and this blog is probably her way of coming clear with her anger against the lefty, p.c. attitude of some part of the French society.

Now, if you think i am a douchebag or flip flopper, it's a petty, albeit a very small one

@Mitch and others:

although i have left Austria some five years ago, i still think it's a country one can be proud of, but i will not engage in any flamewar about it. I guess if i had written i am Dutch, or Russian, or Finnish, or Nigerian or Swiss, you would probably have tried to attack those countries, too. Who is ''not for you is against you'', that's the doctrine your president has given out, and you put this doctrine nicely to practise, so why should i be surprised!

Complètement stupide

Ses accusassions au Premier Ministre de Espagne de être anti semita sont totalement et complètement stupides et sans aucun mérite. Ton manque dignité et respect m'horrifie et cela me dégoûte, tandis qu'à à vous de darle lui donner honte.

All things considered, the only reasonable conclusion is that you yourself must be a complete and utter idiot with a coat of ignorance to boot. How dare you accuse the Prime Minister of my nation of anti Semitism without any evidence beyond his criticism of Israel’s recent incursion into Lebanon and that he decides to wear an Arab scarf? That kind of knee jerk reaction is the horribly ignorant and is simply soiling the intellectual climate of this planet.

Reading through the merde that you’ve written on your site, the conclusion that you are a rightist bigot, who is Eurocentric and white nationalist with fascist tendencies does not seem like an incorrect one. I bet that it makes you very wet in your private areas to imagine how things would have been had your beloved Régime de Vichy had stayed in power. Oh the thought of the mass graves and the slaughter of innocents must really get your nipples hard, non?

But alas, I know the truth about you. You want the Arab and North African men you publicly claim to hate to pound you from behind and make you scream “Vous allez faire mon vagin saigner” because their oversized penises are making mince out of your puny cooter. It is a common fantasy for the right wing, anti-Muslim French nationalist such as yourself. I don’t blame you all really.

I know a few big, black men from Morocco who would be willing to take the drive from Barcelona to Paris if it meant tight, French pussy. Should I let them know? ;)

“Remember that they have been living in Old Europe for years”

More ignorant bullshit from ignorant toads. Recycling language from idiotic, war criminals from the US. If you hate “Old Europe” so much, I suggest you leave and go to your beloved America, specifically the Mid West or South. I’ve been to those areas and although you won’t find a good wine or croissant anywhere, you will certainly find people who think the same as you (non whites = inferior).

“never opposed to an honest debate”

So, McCarthy-esque accusations of racism towards the democratic and just Prime Minister of Spain qualifies as “honest debate” in your twisted little psyche? You two are just a pair of masterpieces, aren’t you?

I apologize for any grammatical mistakes in my French. It constitutes as my fourth language (Castilian, Catalan, English and then French) and it is hardly my best one.

From Spain,
Manuel

"I suggest you leave and go to your beloved America, specifically the Mid West or South. I’ve been to those areas and although you won’t find a good wine or croissant anywhere, you will certainly find people who think the same as you (non whites = inferior)."

That's hilarious coming from a Spaniard! I saw more racism in Spain than I ever saw in the U.S. south – and I lived in both places. One need only spend an hour in Bernabéu to see and hear things one would never see in the U.S. south.

You will find excellent wines throughout the US. Many domestic and many imported. Croissants are available -- in good and bad quality. The last I had in Paris had the taste and quality of cardboard.

Amen, to the rascism one sees in Spain and France.

Move to the States, why not. the more of you isolated over there as it sinks the better.

better yet, move to israel

Anton,

Aren't you the perfect little French boy - or girl. Anti-American, anti-Israel, probably Jew-hating... and stupid.

The U.S. and Israel to sink?? Bwahahahahah. What's next, the EU, er, sorry France a "hyperpower"? Thanks for making my day. I sure won't pay for your welfare benefits!

So, McCarthy-esque accusations of racism towards the democratic and just Prime Minister of Spain qualifies as “honest debate” in your twisted little psyche?

Whereas McCarthy-esque accusations of racism towards your opponents does qualify as honest debate in your own fevered little mind. And assuming that southerners and conservatives are racists is about as mature as assuming all spaniards loved Franco. By the way, how do you suppose he'd look on some obnoxious prick college kid's T-shirt?

Oh, and how about some more of that "honest debate":

I know a few big, black men from Morocco who would be willing to take the drive from Barcelona to Paris if it meant tight, French pussy. Should I let them know? ;)

Very classy, but what are those big studs doing hanging out with an effete little spanish weasel like yourself? What do they get for giving you cred?

Oh right, language lessons:

I apologize for any grammatical mistakes in my French. It constitutes as my fourth language (Castilian, Catalan, English and then French) and it is hardly my best one.

Oh my, you are so worldly. Hey, does anyone have that "Smartest Person in The Room" sash this guy can wear? By the way, the differences between Catalan and Castilian are comparable to those between certain dialects of English, so don't assume we're impressed. In fact, all Romance languages are closely related and allow mother-tongue speakers of one to learn the others with relative ease, while English is the only member of its family of languages to be widely spoken. I mean, I suppose I could learn Manx, but why? Just to impress people on blogs? Kudos, though, for learning English; it's critically important to speak it in order to accomplish anything in your career, should you ever have one.

G. Hamid, Noahtorious B.I.G., Mitch,
Unfortunately I'll have to wait a little more before moving to the U.S. (and, of course, taking U.S. citizenship). I'm staying in Europe, but in one of its last strongholds of freedom. I'm going West though.

Marco,
Nice to meet you too!

not interesting,
One doesn't have to "walk around with no other goal than finding things [to] use to ridicule" France. Here's one thing she's doing to the perfection alone. Just go for a walk in the streets of Paris, you'll know what I mean.
Besides, for a foreigner, to live in a foreign country, it doesn't mean the country is "harboring" the foreigner. And I'd tend to add especially when it's an American ;-)

Manuel,
Wow, you must be one impotent little weasel to spit such hateful nonsense like that.

Move to the States, why not. the more of you isolated over there as it sinks the better.

I don't know which is worse, Anton, your understanding of geo-politics or geology. The Mississippii delta aside, we're all quite high and dry, and at over 3,000,000sq mi the feeling of isolation is, to say the least, quite bearable. Any time Europe wants to contribute its own wealth and power (snicker) towards its own defence and act as the world cop (Hint: that means more than issuing strongly worded letters, a collection of which Mahmoud Admedinijad no doubts frames and puts on the walls of his office as a conversation starter.) then please do. I'm sure the world will open its collective arms to your stewardship, and a new era of peace and justic will reign. You guys did such a good job at it last time, why not one more try?

Wow, a few pissed off euros make their presence known. It seems like they have all been snacking on the sizzling merda that blankets the sidewalks each morning.
Let me make one statement that each euro should understand- You people are in the process of re-demonstrating the greatest feats of cowardice mankind has ever witnessed. You create nothing, you fail at each of the "national endeavors" your country's put forth. Your entire continent reeks of impotence, except less for those in Denmark, Poland, and England.
Millions have fled europe over the centuries, leaving behind you imbeciles who shout like school children whose nanny state lunch was not to their liking. You as a continent have contributed NOTHING to the betterment of the world in the last 100 years, and you continue to slide into a very unfortunate positions economically and socially. You're all afraid of Polish plumbers, yet you invite muslims into your lands for your food, clothes, shelter, and they educate themselves to kill you.
Your welfare soaked minds know NOTHING of the real world, one has to see the demonstrations by students in france a few months ago to see the fantasy you freaks live in. You spoon fed little pricks cannot do one thing without help or aid from the US... whether in kosovo, or bosnia your impotence is amazing in today's world. Now we had above a little austrian fraulien whose motherland produced hitler coming around to spew her nonsense, while making no explanation for why her country sells 1000 hi end sniper rifles to Iran. It MAY have saved 11 jobs in Tyrol, that's it. Why were the citizens of Austria NOT permitted to vote on the eu constitution? Your statist leaders don't trust your opinions? In the meantime Airbus is in the shithouse, the A380- a nationalistic endeavor subsidized through state generated welfare payments now looks like a piece of crap. That concept was done already over 3 decades ago. Who in the hell other than a dis-illushioned europe would build a super jumbo jet in this day of terrorism and hi fuel prices? One that cannot even fit into most airports.
Now I anxiously await the french version of CNN, and for the GPS Galileo system to actual materialize. Who will your target customers be? haitians maybe? Ivory Coast folks?
Has Chirac advised everyone to go to the movie theaters this week whilst it's warm? Or will the gold chain wearing welfare soaked youth block your path? As always- just forget your senior citizens and head south.
Wow, and in such a balless nation of france- Lance Armstrong the one-balled man is King, and now a US rider with a disintegrating hip lays waste to the frenchmen. How cool it is.
History will look back on this tme in europe from 1989 onward as the beginning of the end for the fetid continent. Welfare and nanny state lifestyles have turned most into complete fools.

not interested, that's a fair enough response to me & I'll respectfully retract any comments to you related to douchebaggyness.

Manuel, now there's a real class act. Who knew that Zapatero's lefty supporters are such champions of women everywhere. Go shave your knuckles Manuel.

not interesting: I'm sorry I got your name wrong in my comment. It even screwed-up d00d.

d00d: If Manuel even exists, he's a pig. You, on the other hand, are a class act.

But I gotta say, "douchebaggyness"?!?!?

Manuel, are you re-living your weekend for us? Ouch! Can you sit down yet?

Carine, I'm from Mexico, fyi, and aren't you the perfect little pawn. good luck to you.

I guess you won't be going to Mexico, huh?

My last comment should have read:

Carine, I guess you won't be going to Mexico, huh?

Well, no :-) Although judging by our so-called Mexican "guest", it could be funny.

I've got to hand it to you, Carine - when you touch a nerve, that nerve is touched. ;)

(Hint: that means more than issuing strongly worded letters, a collection of which Mahmoud Admedinijad no doubts frames and puts on the walls of his office as a conversation starter.)

I bet they'd make a fabulous coffee table book! Man, I should find an agent for one right now. I could probably sell Mahmoud a signed first edition for a pretty penny.

And watching the antics of a possibly bipolar young adult struggling to disembark from his teenage years is important to society... how?

http://home.planet.nl/~reijd050/

It's all just the way of th world. What we are seeing is no more then our intellectual semi-rulers clash.......Next is the Noosphere and all our desires are fullfiled. The irony of all this is that we feel the urge to be true, while everything tells you we allready are.

Accept the 5:

care
create
temple: knowledge, health, life
connect
enjoy

Iarga awaits.....

Gordon Cooper asked, but we didn't listen.

Carine, if you are ever in Washington State, look me up, I got folks there. My house is your house, my fridge is your fridge, my kitchen is negotiable. Don't pay any mind to Manuel, he's (I'm assuming that manuel is male) just feeling inferior. Guys like him around where I live wears pink and drinks chardonnays. We don't pay them any mind either.

Psst, Manuel, don't get personal when you're postin' your opinions. You don't want to know that "shank" is both a noun and a verb.

Anton, huffing glue again, eh?

Che makes a better T-Shirt than leader.
