I get the impression that many of your posts are an attempt to pick a fight.

That's what I felt when I read this:

IMO, the French deserve whatever awaits them.

Did you know that I am 1/4 French? Not that I am any big fan of French politics, but I'm growing tired of the incessant attacks on French people from folks on the right. There's a lot of folks in this country of French heritage.

If France fined Bardot for saying things about a particular race or sexual preference, does that say any more or less about free speech in France than Howard Stern being fined for using the same words that Oprah Winfrey used right here in America?

I believe that America has hate laws on the books too.
