They were native peoples with an invading force swarming over their homeland and a counter force who'd made them their indentured slaves. Not many options, really.

You'd do what anyone told you to do, with a gun placed to your head, too. Would your family cry 'unfair' when you were then hanged for that action because it didn't help the other bully who wanted you to do something entirely different? Yep, I rekon they would.

I believe this is one of the reasons you get a bunch of ads with impossible requirements, too. Like "5 years senior Java experience required", when Sun had only released Java a couple years earlier.

It's just a way to bring back indentured servitude. Sigh.

Seriously though folks, the French have their indentured now deserving, as does America.....welcome to the 21 century-Road to Cultural Meltdown......better brush up on my Chinese lessons, speak enough freekin' spangitch.....

The Border, preserves the Culture, etc....etc..The Newnited States of Everywhereia.....kinda like Canada, but with guns and rednecks, but sooner that June to have Socialized Death, thank the Pharmaceutical companies for that.....

but, that team will make it better than the other team.....we promise and hope, and yer duped again.......!

Agree ain't the point, the content is less imporatant here than the dynamic, the mechanism, and the delivery system.....this guy is a tool for every divertive special interest..
Divertive by this definition
2. draw attention from something: to take somebody's mind off something and draw attention to something else
...this something else being how nice and friendly we can all be to the Planet every day....the kind of non-nutritive snacks that some folks seem to lap up like a cat under a leaking radiator....the same effect, though it takes much longer for domesticated primates, the cat will die from eating the sweet-tasting, green (how appropriate here) liquid...

Answer this Earth friendlies out there??? If in fact, there are alternatives to fossil fuels, (which there absolutely ARE) and if there is even a hint of suspicion that the powers that control these fossil fuels and regulate their necessity and prices, that these persons have colluded to corner a market and indenture the masses to pay them for destroying the atmosphere or worse, make us modern-day putties, THEN SHOULDN'T THE BULK OF FOCUS BE SHIFTED TO THIS INSANITY, and not how imporrrrrtantit is that we should recycle, buy fuel-efficient cars and re-newable crap, and use bicycles and skateboards to go to work????

This world is fucking itself into a corner, and blaming the inaction on the part of the oil industry, her puppets and politicians, on their own ignorance, and ineffectual focus.


FUCK EARTH DAY! Fuck the democrats, fuck the republicans, the moderates, the issues that mean nothing in the grand scheme of civilization's demise....the focus should be on Getting The Users Of Imformation And Men Off The Planet......

then, perhaps we can survive the sun's effect on the planet, as IT causes the effects of global warming, along with the cyclical dance of the Earth and her position in the solar system.....

oh, did I forget Global Warming, FUCK THAT, TOO.....

thanks for shoving it up choggs' ass aaronfr.....Yeah that was a stretch with China....as for France... if the children of north African muslims are a barometer for the brilliant idea to bring in cheap labor, then to have required them to become French citizens through a process that would make them proud, thankful, and energetic to become French, would have gone a long way to alleviate the stress of a nation now diluting the culture. Here in the U.S., brilliant thinking and lack of legislation and enforcement of existing laws, has brought the same dilution to America, who used to have a singularly unique culture, of immigrants who were excited to be American, rather than excited to be IN America, but not having to "become" American, with a sense of pride and nationalism.....




Most folks in the US, have enough cultural awareness to know, that letting Mexico osmose into America, is a pathetic trade-off economically, etc. Most Hispanics in this country that have naturalized through proper channels, are livid about the influx.....Come to America, retain your culture and heritage, yet become American, not Mexican-American

Learn the Language
Pay into the System
Build assets, and invest here.
Being American must be a pathetic prospect for most of the world and who can blame them....??


[however, the muslims never really integrated within the french society.]

Is this not a symptom of the same type of scenario?? Muslims have been a non-integrating element in England as well haven't they?? The fact that they were given citizenship for indentured labor doesn't really matter, they still never became French, in the true sense...(are not the French sticklers for preserving the language and culture?...they used to be)
Canadians do not let the children born on their soil, automatically become citizens....they saw Chinese doing it, and nuked that shit!!
No nation, if they want to remain a nation, should do this.
Wish we'd used a similar model, but powers have other things in store, for a once great Nation.
France was a once great nation, but they have been bitched slapped from without and within for so long, well,......the 3 countries that provided Iraq with most of their sheit, Nuclear power techs, WMD's (that, incidentally, were there and were moved), were France, Germany, and Russia.......

Why won't they be held accountable??? Because the bastards that are allowed to play games with humans, have governments by the short and curlies......

Eliminate hunger, educate evryone to get them up to speed with the 21st century, and get off the grid/teat by giving the cheap, and/or,free-energy technology that has existed
for decades, and watch a world change very drastically...
no war, no currency, no shit.

Criticism

In 1990's Monsanto conducted genetically modified (a.k.a. Terminator genes) Cotton trials in India through its subsidiary Cargill Seeds. It generated stiff opposition from the Indian Farmers and one of its Plants in Karnataka State was pulled down by protestors within hours and finally the Indian Government banned the company from continuing further. While in Brazil later in 2003 followed India in a similar protest in Goias.

Frontline's "Seeds of Suicide: India's Desperate Farmers" [10] has detailed some of the struggles facing the Indian farmer. The transition to using the latest pest-resistant seeds and the necessary herbicides has been difficult. Farmers have been lured to genetically modified seeds promoted by Cargill and Monsanto because of their promise of greater yields, but instead, research has shown that these seeds require more water and more pesticides (sometimes by design). For some of the farmers, these hidden factors have cost them their entire harvest because they may not have more water or they may not be able to afford the pesticides. Their resulting debts from their gamble with genetically modified seeds have lead them into what amounts to indentured servitude and an alarming rate of suicide. The problem is exacerbated by the current corporate influence in the government: previously, a government expert would give knowledgeable advice to farmers about their crops, but now the positions are filled by corporate representatives who receive incentives for promoting their company's products. Admittedly, it is not a system which keeps the farmers' best interest in mind.

Criticism can also be found in the documentary The Future of Food which sheds light on the relationship between agriculture, big business and government. It examines the effects of biotechnology on the nation's smallest farmers and discusses the downsides of genetically modified foods.
