Bill Maher on France

Nov 27, 2008 - In a time when news is actually talking point regurgitation, "The Daily Show" and "Real Time" always swing the spotlight where it needs to shine. These COMEDY shows tell the truth about issues of self-righteous repression like Intelligent Design and Praying The Gay Away. And they DON'T make it sound like there are two rational sides when there AREN'T. Keep it up, Jon, Bill and your writers. For a comic take on society's repression of homosexuality, do a YouTube search for "MAYBE GAY RAY"

And our government prefer 17th Century not French life and you are trying opening people's eye like I. More we open more third world coming in. By the way I like his nose

Nov 27, 2008 - Lafayette and his people went to America on their own out of belief and convictions that they were doing the right thing fighting for an ideal, The King of France was to some extent reluctant to let this American revolution happen as its ramifications could undermine royal ruling (monarchy) stronghold at home. French helping the Americans during the revolution is actualy one of the very few times in history when two "nations" fought together for an ideal rather than mere political/empire gains

Nov 27, 2008 - "wasn't kindness to america but because French were terrified of British Empire" And no... the French were not terrified of the British Empire, they had their own empire. untill begining of WW1 France and GB Empires pretty much covered all continents. Your comment is a calumny.

Nov 27, 2008 - No credibility to yanks due to stupidity, which is actively sought by their owners who tell them everything is hunky dory so the gullible populous work hard, getting shafted blissfully unaware..lining the pockets of filthy rich fatcats. Yanks rank pretty low in almost everything...healthcare shit, education pisspoor, minimum wage very low, holiday time pathetic, wealth per capita (14th), democracy index (18th), 13% in poverty. Inferior sports for fat people, Obesity rampant, divorce ranked #1

Nov 29, 2008 - Americans have often a special vision about France. They often see us better or worse than we are really. It is due to the american independence war i suppose. In reality, we are rather normal.We can be very good or pathetic. And yes,We have a good healthcare. It costs us much less and protect us much more than your. This guy has a good humour. Fresh air ;) France

Nov 29, 2008 - The problem is that americans think they are better then everyone else so they wont take advide from anyone but themselves. Ex. I wrote that if americans vote for Obama they might get back the standing in the world that they had under Clinton, I got 50 e-mails back all saying things like: fuck you Euro trash we don't care what you say. or Fuck you bitch this is america we don't care what anybody said and this was 50 e-mails full of this even from Obama supporters and that's the problem

Nov 30, 2008 - "I never hear him saying "America is great"." thats because right now america isn't great . . . are you retarded?

ashubbsr21 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - If really americans can learn to say 'God bless everyone' or 'God bless humanity' instead of 'God bless America', it might start the change that this world really needs. Selfishness multiplied by arrogance is a dangerous thing - always gives rise to over-zealot nationalism that is at odds with the idea of all-inclusive world. This is not criticism, just a suggestion.

Nov 30, 2008 - Wow that was SO funny!! I love the part about the nation of six year olds LOL I laughed so hard-and it's true too! People give the French too hard a time sometimes, they really have some awesome inventions -the world wouldn't be the same without them. =)

Dec 1, 2008 - lol i do think we are the best (probably because i only lived in one country) but thats by default, right now we are just, kind of better than everyone else (arrogant i know but whatever) when we could be 20 times bettter i mean if you look across the globe and you see censorship in china and the middle east is all fucked up and africa is crazy, and i dont even want to start with north korea, by the way people hype us up, we should be #1 in everything, when we are not anymore

Dec 1, 2008 - I have lived in a few countries and can tell you that on a number of fronts you are not only not first, but seriously lagging behind. Of course there are some great things and areas where you are leaders, but get off your high horse

DoggyC Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - You forget about Europe :) USA is far behind im afraid. One of your absolute biggest problems is that so many people are still religious :( Also your schoolsystems suck. In most european countries, all education is for free, incl. junior lvl/primaryschool, secondary, highschool, university.. everything is for free. And the healthcare systems.. well, i dont think i have to tell you about that.. WHAT exactly(!) makes USA a #1 country?

andretheking86 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - lol there really is nothing america is good at anymore at least were #1 at football lol

bukakkesake Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - uhh no americans dont think they are better than anyone. Maybe you are thinking of the broader population of the EU. Cept france because most french I meet are really level headed. The rest of europe however....
