American healthcare

In France, you ll get 100% free full quality medical care and 600 USD per month. You will also get your rent paid, which can go up to 4500 USD/month in Paris.

The solidarity health care system is called Couverture Maladie Universelle (Universal Heathcare) and as it s called, is not reserved only to french citizens. You need to prove 3 month of residency in France, whatever your nationality and prove your lack of sufficient income to pay for healthcare.

The 600 USD help is called Revenu Minimum d Insertion (Minimal Integration Income) and is not reserved to nationals. It s being replaced now by the RSA, (Active Solidarity Income), which encourages subsidised people to look for a job.

We also have strange laws like 35 hours maximum work per week, 5 weeks paid holidays...

This should make of us the happiest nation in the world. We are actually the biggest consumers of antidepressants per person. Too much protection kills life and make people more fragile.

Public train service civil servants can retire at the age of 55, but this doesnt seem to make them happy as well. They keep on going on strike several times a year and dont understand why those days arent being paid since "they work for the happiness of all".

Indeed, strange country rules... How could you people survive in such hostile environment?

The Most and All Time Prosperous of All will let you go even 70 hrs overtime in 1 week (basically it does not give a shit unless you're skipping taxes) with 1 week personal vacation (or if there any at all) and 4 major Holidays. Plus Standard For All Of Us - The Greatest Ever retirement in 67 (and counting). This is what makes us all Happy yappies and "united we stand" around our truly cnnable tv sets and foozball fields. (!!!)

I feel your jealousy already ...
 
And the french debt is still classified AAA by international rankings.

There is something wrong with the international financial system, how can a socialist country with such lazy people giving away their cash to foreigners get the best rating :eek:

Their banks didnt go bankrupt in 2008, their car industry gained markets, their housing market didnt collapse...I just don t understand!:confused:
 
It is just plain horror and chaotic outrage in ur country!! But hey, Bush'mans were in attempt to bring your nation down once with heroic push of re-naming "French fries". I know it did not go well... but Americans were intellectually occupied for a few days on that one!
Pss. And we've been informed that you people do allow to smoke in elevators... What about Jeneva "Anti-Smoking In Elevators" Convention?
 
Believe it or not they still have PUBLIC channels there, who arent sponsored by the food industry! And they talk about such boring things like renewable energies, terroir, history, philosophy. They even have political broadcasts that dont aim to tell you who s got the biggest, but do speak about global stakes and teach how to make yourself an opinion, being sceptical...

Excuse Me????????????????? How dare are u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are you? French fries are not French. Do a little research & you'll find out.
 
No no, they were invented by Mr Mac Donalds ;o))

You know...the famous americentrism...

French fries are not more french than the french dressing in the US. When i was a kid it used to be a daily meal and kids would only want to eat that, but with the development of obesity, it s being replaced more and more by salad or vegetables in school restaurants.
