Honestly Brian, I have nothing against France. I enjoyed it immensely. I did find a bit French culture to be more cliquish and to be quite frank, boring. I think I identify with UK culture and temperament much more from the get go. France is a much more enjoyable country from a natural world standpoint with the French alps and all. But the French Ghetto’s are scary places indeed, only rivaled by some of the places I have seen in Brazil.
My point was that there seemed to be far more tension and animosity amongst the communities in France. There seemed to be less integration and upward mobility. The immigration laws in France would make southern Jim Crowe nostalgists blush from what I have read. Although I guess in the not too distant past the Irish and the British we murdering each up and down the UK. So much for civility.
