1. Yeah well, I don't see any French flags all over the place. They must not be true patriots.

All this shows is they don't know the USA is number one!

[Enthusiast]

8. There is no better indication of true patriotism than the number of flags displayed.

Especially on private homes, businesses, quango's (Quasi non governmental organizations) and some government buildings.

"Do the people who display all these flags not know that they are Americans? Or do they constantly have to remind themselves?"

15. Tell them that we have a lot of Germans living here. It's in our DNA.

[Enthusiast]

20. Maybe that's it.

Ultra nationalism.

[GoneOffShore]

23. Or immaturity.

Which, when one thinks about it, is the same thing.

I'm in Paris once a week for work (will be there in half an hour, in fact). Life ain't cheap there. Many people commute as long to jobs in the city as they do in New York, London or Tokyo.
