ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that was cruel! True, but cruel. :-) One can only hope that the recent hot weather will succeed where the Germans failed. One can always hope. With France gone, the other Europeans who haven't already regained their sanity may do so.

You are pathetic. French "fashions are outdated"??? Where do you think Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Chloe, Chanel, etc are based, you little hillbilly? Oh wait, there is a funnier remark: "Their cuisine only raises cholesterol levels". As opposed to the American hamburgers & fries, not to mention deep fried TexMex, I suppose. What a joke. I guess it would be news to you that some of the oldest people known to mankind are from the south of France. You know, the cuisine that doesn't use much butter but relies on olive oil, a lot of vegetables and some meat. One can only hope that the recent hot weather will succeed where the Germans failed. An estimated 10,000 people died in France in the month of August due to the heat. You are an inhuman beast not fit for another breath on this planet if you think that is a good thing. Just put yourself out of your misery for all our sakes. If anyone had any doubt that you have no taste, there is no doubt now.

Some 2,000 deaths in just Texas every year from high temperatures, and Texas have a much lesser population, and the same high temperatures every summer (plus sometimes cold in the winter, when the south of US suddenly has an outburst of fires, caused by ..well..electric equipment.. and 110V fuses) One need to get some basic facts and backgrounds straight before trying to be funny, otherwise it beomes kind of a backlash in the best place. The private healthcare systems in US probably know even more, but their statistics are competitive secrete stuff and medicare and -aid have more important issues to worry about.
