> Not surprising, there is no free speech in France.

Entirely false, except if you mean ABSOLUTE free speech. In this case I would argue no country has one. I guess you come from the US? See : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_excep...

> Especially when it comes to crooked banks or politicians.

Weren't we talking about the 1% recently where you live?

> France is closer to a monarchy than a democracy.

I like those empty statements.

Furthermore, who is upvoting your comment? It's just plain bashing with no real arguments.



You know what, I'm willing to bet that camus2 is either French, or at least French-speaking (sorry camus2, your English is awesome, way better than my French, and I have been living in France for 10 years, but still, you make mistakes sometimes...). Which makes your comment rather ridiculous, seeing as it is one big ad-hominem based on nationality...



> Furthermore, who is upvoting your comment? It's just plain bashing with no real arguments.

Bravo. That's the most beautifully hypocritical internet comment I've seen in quite a while.


If there were really ABSOLUTE free speech in France, how is it the French blogger in the story was fined ten thousand euros?
