#2 Just as one would hope that oneâs doctor held certain beliefs if he was to live up to his title, French intellectuals are expected to think in a certain way.

So it's official - intellectuals are not expected to think for themselves. So why do they even need to be intellectual? Why not just get some Johnny Bravo type who fits the suit?

#3 Uh, BH, that's what they have. That's why France is in a nose-dive, and the estimated impact point is the world's largest toilet. France stopped producing any real thinkers before WW II, and has been sliding downhill rapidly ever since. Those not killed during WW II either left for greener pastures, or simply gave up. France is intellectually bankrupt, and the bank's calling due the note.

#6 At least the mimes have quiet mass demonstrations.

There's too much honking when you call in the clowns.

#7 But clowns are the natural and sworn enemies of mimes -- as any Dexter fan can tell you.

#8 Robert, you should read more and stop writing.
It is intolerable that a think as yours is possible. You are dishonest person or lazy.

#10 Old Patriot : âFrance stopped producing any real thinkers before WW II.â How is it possible ? Who were real thinkers before WW II ? Did you read them ? What makes them real thinkers and that lacks to post-WW II thinkers ? Show us that you can THINK what you said ! :-))))
