Where I Think Some People Are Just Plain Stupid

May 15, 2007 – 2:08 am | 3 Comments | 186 Read this

While wait­ing at the garage, I read The Sun, a rag with a lot of bull­shit in it. It’s cheap (25 cents) but it’s bad. Really bad. The Sun pet themes are usu­ally : war is good, high taxes are bad, gay mar­riage is evil, gas is too expen­sive, any­one who doesn’t speak Eng­lish or isn’t of Eng­lish back­ground is a ter­ror­ist or an ille­gal immi­grant etc. Come on, I’m talk­ing about a news­pa­per which call “youths” “punks” !

They Did It

They did it. They elected the most intol­er­ant, ego­cen­tric, self­ish, use­less politi­cian. He is the new pres­i­dent. I’m def­i­nitely stay­ing in Canada.

Qu’avons nous inventé ces derniers temps ? Qu’avons-nous appris ? Ce dernier man­dat prési­den­tiel a apporté son lot de révoltes, mais aucune inno­va­tion. J’en arrive à penser que notre prési­dent à fait comme les intéri­maires : il a attendu que le temps passe sans rien foutre pour pou­voir inscrire plus d’heures sur sa feuille de temps.

Do You Want To Argue ? Pleeeeease...

Do You Want To Argue ? Pleeeeease...

When I went to China, my whole world just crashed. Not only I was seen as an immi­grant and a for­eigner for the first time of my life (a Euro­pean vis­it­ing another Euro­pean coun­try isn’t really a for­eigner…), but I also real­ized that every­thing I’ve been told about China was wrong. Europe val­ues pol­i­tics and has a “being against every­thing” atti­tude, while North Amer­ica val­ues individualism.

Words Of Fucked Up Wisdom

Heard about the guy who fell off a sky­scraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept say­ing to reas­sure him­self: “so far so good… so far so good… so far so good..” But …

I’m cur­rently fol­low­ing two elec­tions. Yes. Pol­i­tics. If as a North Amer­i­can you don’t under­stand what so fun in that, remem­ber I’m French. Two elec­tions is to me what the Stan­ley Cup and the Super­bowl week-end is to you.

Résistance à la connerie humaine

Géni­aaaal… Une bande de 1300 red­necks qui n’ont sûre­ment jamais vu un immi­grant Arabe (quand on en est réduit à ce degré de sim­plic­ité, l’immigrant est for­cé­ment Musul­man, Islamiste, ter­ror­iste et tous les — ismes qu’on voudra bien lui accoler) de leur vie, décrè­tent par arrêté munic­i­pal qu’il est inter­dit de lapi­der les femmes sur la place du vil­lage. Et dans l’jardin, ça te vas-tu ? C’est vrai qu’il deve­nait urgent de légiférer sur les Tal­ibans qui peu­plent les régions québécoises…

Je suis en train de me deman­der si je vais voter aux élec­tions prési­den­tielles de Mai 2007. Pas par rejet de la société ou accès de rébel­lion soudain : tout sim­ple­ment parce que je trouve curieux de voter pour le prési­dent d’un pays dans lequel je ne vis plus. Et qui, acces­soire­ment, s’enlise dans une bataille poli­tique jamais renou­velée depuis vingt ans.
