The loneliest country in the world

not including friends i made such as Tibeaut and Jerome, and making terrible generalizations, because i am coming from a country that is totally devoid of problems and the people are just perfect, it seems that they are not realizing that they are just another language, and just another culture. instead, the feeling is that they are THE culture and THE language. It is not clear how they are raised with such a blunt delusional disorder, but it may be in the fois gras. cynicism aside, it's true that this place is rich with all those things that make us human. this is indeed a small super-power on this planet, i only wish they took themselves less seriously. I wonder if they realize how much this alienates them from the rest of the world. It seems that many French don't really have a second language (whatever language). They only have french, with their frenchy television and frenchy movies and books. That is great, but in this time of history – it's simply not enough.
ENGLISH is the NUMBER ONE LANGUAGE on this planet. It is spoken by 1.8 billion people, more than any other language (including chinese. google it). SPEAKING ENGLISH DOES NOT MEAN LOSING YOUR IDENTITY, and they seem to be stuck somewhere in first grade of their emotional development, not realizing that.
It seems that there is a belief that some day, pretty-soon-but-not-really-sure-when, when the US will go down, the whole world is going to start talking french. Well, this deserves a news flash – even if china is going to be the next super-power on this planet, and even if the EU itself will be the next one – french will NEVER be a number one spoken language. Ok, enough of that. I'm going to go have some delicious french food.
