The giveaway was France in California.

When the US has to declare bankrupcy, this is how the judge will divide up the country.

Actually, I think Saudi Arabia gets the whole thing.

Because California often brags about it's economy and how if it were a country is would be equal to France? Now that I think about it, I'd heard that tidbit a few times before.

At one point, California, were it a country, had the fifth largest GDP in the world.

France/California threw me off. California represents a large GDP, but the French have a 35 hour work week, and are lazy, fun-loving, cheese-eating, wine-drinking, nappy-headed hos who love to get butt-fucked in the mouth (they invented oral sex, you know

. They CAN'T have a large GDP. I call.

Funny, I was talking to a friend last night. She works for a factory near here that is based in France...hence Frenchie execs etc. (This is in contrast to the tons of Japanese-based companies around here.) Anyway, this company shows no mercy. They will work weeks, even Sundays with no days off, 12 hour days, etc. She said they have said they think Americans are lazy. I'm like WHAT? They're French, they work like 30 hours a week over there. And, they're French! But they think we are lazy if we don't want to work a hundred hours in a week. Puh. Embrasse mon derriere, I say.

Mo money mo problems.
It's like the more money we come across, the more problems we see.

Shawnee123 · 06-15-2007, 02:20 PM

Yes, but I'd rather have a problem say, worrying about the Lexus repair than if I can make rent.

Meh - protesting foreigners is all.
The Americans on average work longer hours than anyone else, with less vacation time and fewer national holidays. And that's generally acknowledged (at least in Britain) as we are always compared with the US rather than the rest of Europe as a way of bashing Brits as well as Yanks.
