WE NEED MORE FRENCH PEOPLE

An article on the BBC website makes for worthwhile reading, especially if, like many folks in the civilized world, you travel on the San Francisco public transit system. The other day when I was on the bus a group of youngsters in the back was cussing up a storm -- it is amazing how many teenagers who probably can't spell, and don't read, acquire such a well-developed vocabulary, by the way -- and, as usual, youngish office types up front were perfectly happy to sit in the balls-lifted position while right in front of them frail elderly people with shopping bags stood, hanging on for dear life.


If you just realized that this is going to a marginally insane pissy rant, you are quite correct. Read further, or turn away in revulsion; your choice.


Some key quotes from that article stand out.


Herewith:

"The duty of French parents to bring up their children to be model citizens."

"If you don't teach your child limits, they could do much worse things in the future."

"The permissive, child-centred model of parenting has gone too far"


Many children and young adults in San Francisco are selfish brutes with an overweening attitude of entitlement, and very much the same can be said about all the twenty-something internet-yuppies who have flocked here from elsewhere in the United States. A more uncivil and obnoxious bunch of cretinous skunks would be hard to imagine.
Riding a crowded Muni bus is an exercise in restraining yourself from smacking pasty-faced white and South-Asian retards, whether with pants drooping down or wearing programmer garb.

Model citizens? Perish the nation that considers them exemplary!

Limits? The only limitation, seemingly, is how snooty and self-impressed the little shits can be, and how outraged their mommies if you said anything about that.

Permissive and child-centred? What that means is that America's precious little brats have no incentive to grow up and act like decent human beings.


I mentioned pasty-faced whites and South-Asians above. Let me just add that African American kiddiewinkies also span the gamut from nice people you would like to see more of all the way to utter garbage.
Like the whites and South-Asians, mostly the latter.

[No, shan't even discuss most other Western Europeans, as the behaviour of their nasty kiddiewinkies is well known. Soccer hooligans, druggies, and arrogant ignorant know-it-alls. Middle-Easterners? Feh.]

There are two ethnic groups who strongly tend to have well-behaved offspring: Latinos (Mexican and Central-American) and East-Asians (Chinese et autres). Not all of them, unfortunately -- once they become thoroughly Americanized ("middle-class"), the rot sets in -- but if anyone offers their seat to some creaky old dame, it more than likely will be a Chinese American or a Mexican American. Especially younger ones.
Often also a Russian American from out in the avenues.
Sometimes Jamaicans; there aren't many here.
Very few others.

They were probably raised to be proper citizens, and to acknowledge a measure of limitation. And even if their parents were rather permissive, they weren't the centre of anything while growing up but just one member of a family, and by no means the most important one.

Children can be very nice. But far too often they become teenagers and adults who are NOT special.


At least not in any commendable ways.


The article from whence I lifted those three quotes: France holds back the anti-smacking tide.

It's very refreshing.

Most of the French people I have met in recent years have been quite delightful, albeit often verging on unintelligible. One wishes there were far more of them. I can do without the English and Scandinavian tourists, and lord knows I'm sick and tired of Eastcoasters, Midwesterners, and Southern Californians, as well as snooty internet yuppies, lawyers, and assorted business and marketing types, but French people are all right.

It's almost guaranteed that they don't whore around loud and drunk on Polk Street at three o'clock in the morning, and if they have disgusting sexual affairs they tend not to demonstrate that in public so very much.
Their behaviour is calm, courteous, and socially adept.

We need more French people.

And spanking.
