Of all the things I've learned in my life, none are worse than what have here in Gerona. Situated close to the South of France, the town of Gerona suffers a horrible fate - it allows itself to be influenced by the one nation in the world that values culture too much, to the point of being racist to protect it. Like the French, they too use a strict social system to define bounderies, setting ethics back fifty years. People are educated less to do jobs they don't need to be brainy for, immigrants from poor countries are paid less because the f***ers in power want to stop them mixing with the locals.

I'm French Canadian and I take offense to this.

No reply, eh? Perhaps you will consider what I have written and actually learn how to think with a more open mind.

you kind of look like Seth McFarlen.

I was told by my cousin who lives in Quebec that French Canadians are more open. Now Dorkysupergirl takes offense when I speak out against how the French for not being open and intellectually designing their society in a very discriminatory way, she objects.

I'm sorry but there's no other way I can reply to her than how I have. Siding with a way of thinking that is so unfair is something I cannot accept and therefore, must react against.

I don't respond to those trying to bait me. I also don't respond to those who think a particular culture is a certain way.

Merci beaucoup, mon ami.

I wish I didn't have to judge the mainland French as I do, but given my experiences, I have no choice. My friend Habil, a security guard is a victim of their system. He has worked as a security guard for ten years without a raise in salary or a promotion. This suggests to me he doesn't have the studies to, a direct consequence of being conditioned by society not to want to be anything more than he is. I do not condone this.

There are people all over the world without an education. Some can't afford it, some don't need it, some don't want it as they see nothing wrong with manual labor/a good honest job, and some might not live close enough to a grad school to finish their education. What does that have to do with the French?

It has to do with how they create very strong bounderies in their social system. For example, my friend Robert's grandfather started as a packager. He climbed up the ladder to become head of packaging. That is all well and good in France as it helps contribute to the work force, but they would never understand how his daughter went to University and obtained an English Literature degree. This would be going above her station, which was so carefully and thoughtfully designed by a society that believes too strongly in categories of people.

I find such a way of thinking deplorable and utterly without conscience. One side of Britain, the Labour Party, does not support it and neither does the US. Thank goodness they don't.
