You lose. I'm a former European, by birth and culture, raised and grown. American (as in constitutional-conservative American), by heart.
And YES, I despise what has become of European values. Europe as-is has no other future than a slow decadence, fading away, remembering the good old, glorious time.
The very purpose of a critic is to allow both negative and positive review. There is no point for critics if it is required by law to be positive. All in all, a critic is NOT defamation.
Btw, let me quote Voltaire's famous words in a letter to M. le Riche: "I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.".
A bon entendeur...
The "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen" has been written 200 years ago. There is nothing left of its spirit in today's French's culture. Ideas and "lies" must be fought on the philosophical level, not on the legal one.
... is a completely unknown concept in France. This is not news. Noam Chomsky paid the price when he defended Robert Faurisson, not for the content of his book, but to denounce the Government legally imposing historical truth. France (and Europe in general ?) has strictly no culture of natural Rights.
cf http://wifiworldsummit.com/lui.... I'm not sure of when the interview was made, but the following is interesting (emphasis mine):
What are the biggest technical challenges you have faced in launching a WiFi network?
The technological challenges that we have faced in launching our WiFi networks are not mainly centered in the deployment of networks itself, but rather on the construction of the associated innovative, profitable and sustainable business model. Apart from the difficultness of defining the model, on the technological side both our Roaming system and our Geo-located advertising platforms had to be built using what in the time of developing were yet emerging technologies
Do you realize that everybody does not share your belief that your child should make as much money as possible, but instead, do what they like. There is other metric than "money" to measure "success". If you are skilled for music and enjoy it, even if you make 50% less than a pure breed mathematician, you are still doing what you like. And you give no crap to geometry, or calculus.
Moreover, all teacher are not skilled the same way. I never understood anything in my bachelor linear algebra course for months. The teacher was utterly incompetent. A year after that, I read the book about AES, with an introduction to linear algebra, and I learnt more in a few page read in the library, than in months listening to the teacher...
Finally, the government isn't pure. I'd not be surprised to see the following happening:
[at an FFL dealer:]
John Doe: Hi, I'd like to buy this firearm
Vendor: Sure, sir, let me run the background check...
[time passes]
Vendor: Sorry, sir. The system has found out you fought a younger boy when you were 13, your background check failed. Please wait for the local LEO to come proceed to your arrest."

1995 was 20 years ago, Internet has much changed since. No Government could handle its maintenance and ever happening upgrade. I know this because Internet access really started in France when France Telecom lost its monopoly and third party ISP appeared. Installation were old and rotting, but hey, it was kinda working so nobody did anything. Not to mention Government corruption.
My point exactly, the problem was just thrown away in the next generation. But a politician will held a position for what ? 10 or 20 years max, they don't give a frack what happen after. They got re-elected as much as the could and milked the cow the same way.
For tourism, sure. For working and living, not so much without being "of interest" for the country. And this is rather sad, the first contact, when you leave a country because of its Government, has to be with another Government... Unless of course if you travel illegally, in which case, you are truly free, but then, you all likely become a criminal.
There is none... And you are NOT free to move wherever you want. Trust me, I tried. If you are lucky to be born in Europe, you have reasonable chances to move... in Europe, but that pretty much it without a lot of paperwork.

Thanks to prove me right. Answering an ideological point by insult, how great of you ! Just as I remembered France, uptight and bigoted !
Quote which truly comes from Beatrice Hall, my bad. Though, the essence of the quote remains.
You might still want to go to Paris if you want to see military personnel fully armed patrolling the street, as well as locked down monuments.

The European Convention of Human Rights is more than newspeak...
Your comment sucks ;-)

Don't they have this right under the "Commerce Clause". [which is indeed known to have been abused, but still]

They still managed to make 10% of the reported revenue, which by their figures should be around 18 millions.
The article is all about spooks using spy glasses which are.... well, less than subtle. Not complexed truck who want a bigger tool.
But... think of the children !
The protection already exist, it is called the 2nd Amendment.

Perhaps you need a new dream.
Whose kind of liberal progressist are to DARE tell him what his dreams should be ?

The Internet would be in a pretty bad state... and don't even think to post any comment against the Government in place...
