That is kinda silly. Who wants organs from Haitians?
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

“I thought about posting a France-bashing post but then I read Louis'”
Thanks for the news and the comments. I read some…
Wouahhh… Some wanted the French to have built an airport when Haiti was a Colony… Colony that rebelled at the start of the XIX century…
I pass on the racist comments.
I am happy to see the knowledge of all the contributors.
I am not sure you show the best side of them...
By the way, Médecins Sans Frontières main office is in Paris. Somebody should tell the “journalist”

To be honest, media bitching about the fact the US took controle of the situation are kind of retard. They have more money, more soldiers, more means, so yeah, they do most of the job. Though I understand the frustration of the people who couldn't land in Haiti, the american-bashing we've been served was completely uncalled for.
(and so is the french bashing you can see on that website).
Besides that, who REALLY is the UN? Who puts in the most money? Who hosts their headquarters? How in the heck do people criticize the US in this? How much has the American tax payer been extorted for all the years in aid to a country that can't even piss in a tin can without some form of gevernment curroption involved? I think those that criticize should take the lead and then we'll see how long it takes before the US is begged to com back into the fold.
RIP Tosa
Easy now.
It really doesn't matter where their offices are. That doesn't have any bearing on the statement. It's just a pretentious Frenchman likely harboring fond, idealized, notions of former empire, who is ashamed of his own country's impotence in a former colony. Haiti is one of many dark chapters in the story of imperial France. That is the source of my emotional reaction. Then, to have someone from that same country (Louis) express such kind words, really assuaged my irritation.
Your attention is misplaced; comments are for entertainment value only.

I see your point.
In one hand it is depression by the lack of knowledge, but funny for the same reason…

Thank god at least here I'm not seeing the disgusting display that I'm seeing in the Paradox OT Forum, with several members saying they don't feel the USA should be helping Haiti, and they don't feel any kind of compassion or pity for 100,000 dead and several millions displaced. Nothing short of little home-made Hitlers that country has.
BLARGH!

Are you trying to imply there is something wrong with being a right-wing female? So by saying "she looks like a typical right-wing female" when she states she is right-wing, is a bad thing?
It would only be attacking if I said something insulting or untrue.
I will show an alternative which is pretty equal.
